Got the Buddha Z V2...Best Flavor Builds?

[John C]

Hi guys,

Recently got the Buddha Z V2, a 30MM rda with post holes that could could take parallel coat hanger wires and a deck with room enough for a couch.

Okay, the post holes are 3mm.

Anyway, love the thing, it's great quality and the first authentic RDA Ive gotten aside from a mutation x v4.

Wondering if I can get some tips on getting the most flavor possible out of this fat boy. I understand this isn't a #1 choice for flavor chasers...but I'm looking to maximize its potential for flavor, as the clouds will be there regardless.

I've already tried a couple builds so far. Just to sort of play around, I threw a parallel clapton (24g with 32g wrapped around) with like 7 or 8 wraps. Hit it at 130-150 watts or so. It was good but ramp up time was a bit of a drag and it retained heat like a mofo.

TL;DR: Any good flavor builds for the Buddha z V2? Found here http://vaperzcloud.com/products/zephyr-buddha-v2

10 wraps of 24g kanthal gives me great flavor and vapor . This is with either a Sigelei 150 at 80 watts or a unregulated series mod.

Ive wanted a 30mm RDA for a long time but waited for one with 13 Heavens specs sized up for 30mm..
I would love to see what its abilities are and how the vape could be with some more insane builds Ive done but were not fully utilized with the size of normal rda's..
Try any of the builds we have done in the "Coil Porn" thread or "Post your builds" thread...and comments afterwards!

I use 3mm coils. Dual 22ga KA1 parallels 8 wraps. .12 ohms. Hits like a truck. Great flavor and clouds, but ya gotta have something hot to drive those 22ga so ramp up isn't a problem.

As long as your running Parallel 18650/26650 then you shouldnt have an issue running anything you could vape and enjoy....I wanted a 30mm deck for my builds that are bigger then the ones I use on a daily basis, like these below from my other posts:

VAPORROX, what wattage would you say would be needed? I use a regulated box...have two 150 boxes with a 200 watt snow wolf on the way.

Wattage needed depends on each build, rda, airflow distance+travel rate, wicking. You adjust wattage to a point here your satisfied. The Snow Wolf will have plenty of power and and Parallel Mech will also, start at 3.8V and work your way up for each build.

If you run my build, you'll need the snow wolf. I vape mine at over 300 watts.

If your running .12 on a Parallel Mech Box your would be doing between 100w-144w (3.6V-4.3V) depending on voltage drop and battery life, not to be an as but unless your using .05 and lower you'd be lighting your cotton on fire (when completely soaked) or super heating the coils.
The Snow Wolf will shell out plenty of power and what it couldnt power would be asking for serious life saving surgery to yourself or others.

I run a parallel series mech box mod bud. 8.4 volts. Research before you make yourself look silly.

 

[VAPEROXX]

363 watts to be as exact as I can.

 

[VAPEROXX]

And I don't light anything on fire...

Is it a homemade box? I havent seen a Parallel Series Box. Do you have a pic of your setup and build your using so I can see for myself? Isnt the Hammer of God just a Parallel Box? Thats 4.2V with perfect variables. Im going to looking silly as I am asking and giving advice about the specifics of your post earlier?....I am not insulting or trying to infer you did anything wrong but its not safe to tell someone to run a unsafe build that requires stressing battery limits and creating a news story...

In your previous postings here on VU, you mentioned less then a month ago you were afraid to use a coil with a resistance of .12 Ohms, and now you've become a expert in less then a couple months and are preaching to people that have been vaping for a very little amount of time that they should sub and super sub ohm without even explaining the danger involved, telling them about battery safety and what causes failures, degradation of cells and voltage drop issues. I didnt understand how you came up with 300w+ for a .1+/- Ohm build with a Parallel Box Mod, you did state a few weeks ago it was your only unregulated box and haven't posted anything since then but claimed its the best thing in the world.
Before backlashing try looking over someones previous endeavors before telling them what they know, most of the time its not the latter but those few times, some people know what their doing.

The Hammer of God V2 is a parallel series box mod. Read vaperzcloud.com. and as far as .12 ohms; that is not unsafe on my box/battery combo. On others it IS. And what makes me a low ohms "expert" is that I'm a 25+ year electrician. On a regulated mod such as is in question by the OP, .12 ohms is perfectly safe. You're trying to compare apples and oranges. The other thread to which you refer was a single battery tube mech. And he was running .08 on a battery not built for it. And just for "backlashing" I'm not the one making assumptions about someone's mod not knowing anything about it, and I'm not running .07 or .08 on a single battery such as you "claimed" in the prior thread you speak of. You'll be the headline one day lol. And I never said how long I'd been vaping or how long it took me to become a sub ohm expert. Until now lol.

 

[VAPEROXX]

Now go vape your super low build on your own expertise, and stop hijacking the nice man's thread.

I stand corrected on the one remark of "The Hammer of God V2 is a parallel series box mod", I have not read anything on this mod and was assuming is was just like the original with minor changes like every other device. Products release every day with nothing but aesthetic changes and that is what decides what model it is a pattern that most companies follow. You are correct sir, I learned something new today.
Its a choice that I make whether I build down to what or not, but telling others that are new to the trade is uncalled for and for a Electrician of 25+ years is pretty unprofessional. "Do as I tell you, not as I do", You should always teach anyone whether they say they know it or not a safe method, it doesnt matter what Ive done as I wasn't pushing it onto others to follow my example. I admit I am a fool, I take all responsibilities of my own actions, the day you see differently I welcome you to call me out on it. Your first post on the forum was of you sharing your time vaping, your other posts were where the rest of the information came.
Don't bother replying unless you need to vent, I wont be checking back in here because I dont have the energy, nor care to argue online about what your and my own perspectives are....agree to disagree and move on.
Note: You can edit a post if your already the last post.

Thanks to both of you gents for the valuable info. And VAPERROX, thats a beautiful setup you have there with the HOG and the Buddha.

I run 5 wraps with my Claptons (~.42 for a dual at 3mm). Ramp up IMO is fairly quick even at 75w. The flavor and clouds are plenty good for me. I've run it clear up to 180w on the X Cube with no issues. You are right though, my Velocity looks the the barrel of a smoking gun for 10 seconds after LOL.
