I do. It's brilliantly designed. Truly. The replaceable deck is the slickest I've ever seen, better than the Squape by far. You could do a lot with that.Love it, Dom, and so glad you like it.
Just wondering how the juice consumption compares to say a Crown tank at 50 watts.
It will depend a lot on what kind of coil you use. Many of these newer RTAs have huge decks allowing some crazy builds that vaporize juice like nobody's business. It doesn't have to be that way though, it just begs the question of why have all that space if you're not going to use it? Put a 28g single wire coilbuild on it and you won't be sucking up the juice all that much (and not getting as much flavor/cloud production), but toss a 24g fused clapton build on it and that juice is going to fly right through it.Just wondering how the juice consumption compares to say a Crown tank at 50 watts.
We'll, if you use less watts, you vaporize less juice. Doesn't really have anything to do with what tank it is in.Well most people I see are running this at and above 100 watts. I was curious if it drank less with lower watt builds...
Super duper, is all I can say. This is a fabulous tank. There are some people who are running it single coil with a tight drip tip, and it'll hold 200W+ with the bog-hole deck. I really can't say enough about it. It's just a machine. I truly love the design, so easy to work.I love that tanks providing great flavour and decent cloud have become the norm
I still need a stealthy tank for some situation but plan on getting the Boreas for everyday use as soon as my local vape shop brings them in (which they've promised to do).
Very interested in your build given it's a relatively simple one and you're vaping right in my wheelhouse regarding watts.
How is the flavour with your build
well I own 2 Crown tanks & I run .25 SS coils in them I just got the Boreas last night
did my first build ever ( that actually worked ) last night. 24/26 ga Clapton .25 ohm on the 2.5mm juice hole deck & to it seems to go though about as much or a little less then my crowns
granted the Boreas is a bigger tank but I ran my crown @ 50-55W & I am running the Boreas @ 70-75W & it may make it through the day on one refill. I generally refill the crowns 3-4 times
vaping it at 14 watts.,.1.2 ohms a1..with a silicone insert to reduce the chamberWell most people I see are running this at and above 100 watts. I was curious if it drank less with lower watt builds...

I just want one tank I can love for a while.Super duper, is all I can say. This is a fabulous tank.

Just out of curiosity, what didn't you like about the Griffin?I just want one tank I can love for a while.
When all I used were drippers that was my Marquis then Velocity mini. For tanks I have the Crius and Griffen and like both but don't LOVE them
Two things; 1) Juice volume and 2) wicking.Just out of curiosity, what didn't you like about the Griffin?

I have mine on my RX200. With a 24ga core Clapton set, you might want to up the watts a tad to beat that ramp time. That's a pretty massive coil, It probably wants 100-120 watts to cook.Question. What Mod is everyone running their Boreas on
I am thinking of possibly getting an RX200
It could be my build but on my Xcube II it seems to take the coils a few seconds to heat up
I tried both decks. I am now using the 2MM JC deck 24Ga pre-made Clapton wire. I did 5 wraps each this build came out to .24ohms & running @ 70watts. I don't know if it is the ramping of the Xcube or just my build
just running my boreas with the vtc miny ..at 14 watts , never liked the big boys builds . 1.2 to 1.5 ohms 28 micro or some twisted thinner wire .Question. What Mod is everyone running their Boreas on

It's the build, by "pre-made clapton" I assume that means the factory wire that you can buy in spools? If so it's probably 32g outer wrap which just exacerbates the ramp up issue. Anyways, try tossing that XCube on I believe it's called "Max" setting, this will increase the wattage for the first 2 seconds, it helps with ramp up but without having that heat carry all the way through the draw (if you take longer draws). IIRC I'd keep mine at 120w on a build with Max setting it'd give me 135w for the first 2 seconds.Question. What Mod is everyone running their Boreas on

Yes the wire came in a pre cut length I actually have it on Max but just did the Smok upgrade on it & now people complaining their Xcubes are acting funny so that could be part of it As I have run all the Smok TFV4 coils on this XCube & was a lot faster ramp up then I am experiencing nowIt's the build, by "pre-made clapton" I assume that means the factory wire that you can buy in spools?

I only used the Clapton wire to start coil building as it seemed the easiest to work with
what are you using to block the second coil side. I was thinking of making a plug
I have a VTC Mini if you want to trade LOL
the TFV4 coils are much smaller mass wise than what you got in there now so that's not surprising. Easy way to think about wattage use is not just more watts = hotter, it's more of a scale, to get a similar experience if you have more metal that coil will need more watts than a smaller coil. Also a coil with lower resistance will need more than one with higher. Example, my 28g fused claptons (.41Ω) at 70w is a similar experience to my 24g fused claptons (.13Ω) at 120w. Same warmth for both of those builds, though much thicker vapor on the 24g.Yes the wire came in a pre cut length I actually have it on Max but just did the Smok upgrade on it & now people complaining their Xcubes are acting funny so that could be part of it As I have run all the Smok TFV4 coils on this XCube & was a lot faster ramp up then I am experiencing now
I'm that same way flavor>>>clouds, but with the best flavor builds I've found the clouds just come. For ramp up what I used to do with one of my old setups that was really bad is just start with exhaling while I press the button then inhale, gives the coil a chance to warm up but still applying that air so it doesn't singe anything or build up stale vapor in the chamber.makes sense & I didn't really think of it. I was just thinking get close to the same ohms reading of the premade coils I was used to
& the size of the TFV4 coils but you are correct didn't think about the actual size of each individual coil they are tiny. Guess I need to play more with the thinner wire. I am really a flavor chaser not clouds time for more research although the flavor is amazing on this coil setup may just deal with the ramp time
My first build last night I did end up taking a wrap out of each
coil. Probably not great but I was happy for my first attempt

It's not just thin or thick, or watts. Bigger coils do have more mass, but that is very easy to heat. Takes very little energy. Bigger coils means more surface area. Which takes longer to vaporize more juice. Not to mention big decks, for bigger coils, give more air. Which really means more cooling. Which really means more power to produce same temp with increased surface area.the TFV4 coils are much smaller mass wise than what you got in there now so that's not surprising.

Lots of factors at play, that's just a simple rule of thumb I use to guess my sweet spot on wattage.It's not just thin or thick, or watts.
