can a series build have good flavor ? or are they mainly just for clouds ?
Oh no. They can have good flavor. At that high power. You can build it however you want too.
good.
ok, up and running. Ni80 26g 8 wraps 3mm = .89 ohms. instant fire, not hot, i like it this way. the bad, flavor not the greatest, which, for now, is good = i put a juice in it that i am not crazy about. my reasoning for that = if i had to redo it, i didn't waist good juice.
.45 no?
Or you running single coil which is .894?
Turn the AF down to about half with that build and things should be a tad “interesting”

No more empty handParty time. My middle daughter turned 18 today. Very small party. Like 8 people
very sharp. Love it!
Okay I see why people like these things now...
I had a little bit of dirt in there from I'm guessing either the machining process or from the cerakote but it took about 30 seconds to wipe it all down.
I did find a small sliver of brass in there, nothing too serious it looked like it was part of the threading process.
Again nothing too major.
but I can see why these things are popular items other than the small things that I found this thing is definitely hefty it is brass, however it does have a copper firing button the magnets that were in the switch however were cracked I do have a spring that I'm currently using. As soon as I get the chance to I will be ordering new magnets for it.
Other than that I can see why people like these this thing hits like a f****** freight train full of concrete dicks. I'm not sure if it is because of the constant contact switch or what but it does hit pretty f****** rough.
Give me some time to fiddle fart with it and I will let you guys know my final impressions here in about a week or two.

Something is severely amiss here. How are you getting .89 ohms outta that? Should be be like .42. Unless you're running it as a single, which I wouldn't recommend.
.45 no?
Or you running single coil which is .894?

i just rechecked it on a DNAc, your right, .46. idk wtf is up with the other mod i used.
i did turn it down half, and yes, interesting
. it would be nice if the atty was alittle larger, as dripping, have to be pretty carefull or it leaks. not from over full, but from going down the AF's. now, if/when i find a .50 clapton or whatever build, for more flavor, HELL YEAH !
Well, gaahhlee. Looks Don was already on that.45 no?

it was my build mod. a DRAG. i think maybe because the internal battery was low ?
I like the X-1, but that isn't the only atty that will be good for that mod. Personally, I think it's better for a single battery setup. Ya need an og Goon man. Come on @~Don~ , back me up on thisi just rechecked it on a DNAc, your right, .46. idk wtf is up with the other mod i used.

I'm thinking either the positive pin wasn't making solid contact with the mod or there is some gunk in there.
EDIT: Make sure the pin on the RDA is tight too.

Bro, you don't need any "backup". if you say, "it is', no question for me. but, i would like to keep it all in the family, i will get a copper Assgard mini for it some day, if you seee one. and, other than flavor, i am happy with it as is. but i do have a question about copper atty's, some say they are not good. seems fine to me.
Copper is fine over all... but some juices are acidic enough to cause leeching of the actual copper in said juice, vape said copper, copper particulates in the lungs can't be a good thing (Toxic)
Lol...didnt see this..glad that empty space was filledBecause I'm really hoping the half moon mod comes today from bx10r. Lol

Me too man. Ran out of juice and not home. Vaped too much with it already. Is there a too much?
I've read that this is only with certain food substances and only when stored for long periods of time and usually with copper that is already damaged by such exposure.
Somebody told me years and YEARS ago that smoking w**d out of a copper pipe was dangerous. Years and YEARS later after the dawn of the age of the ubiquitous internet, I looked that up and found there actually might be some danger in concentrated very hot copper fumes over long periods of exposure. Been a while for both.
Not to be a gratuitous contrarian, but it doesn't seem that any scenario with vaping is likely to approach those thresholds.
Make me jelly Everytime I see one of these. Ha ha. Lovely mod
There are some people who don't like the taste of copper. Personally I can't really taste it. Some don't like the smell it can produce. Especially on their fingers, but that's more with mods. Again, for me personally, I don't really notice it. The one real downer for me with copper is that it's high maintenance. It loses performance through oxidation rather quickly and the contact surfaces need to be kept clean all the time. Although this is true of brass too.ok, copper = good to go
Cool!! From Jwill?
I need another Purge that takes a 21700...

Very nice! Your tube collection seems to be spreading like........ nevermind
As for copper anything...
I've used copper in the past. I have a copper top cap for my BONZA 1.5 (I think that's what they called it) and after awhile (usually within a day), I can taste something metal in my vape. Whether it's the copper or something else, not sure, but when I swapped to the stainless cap, the taste goes away. I vape mostly citrus and bakery flavors. I do have a taste for cinnamons and some mints, but not often enough.
Is it safe? Don't know. Does it bother me? Kind of. Do I prefer it or recommend it? No. So I avoid using copper attys or anything with copper exposed to high heat and ejuice. Just gives me peace of mind.

of course. and it almost didn't happen. i PM'd him asking for serial #'s. he said yeah, i think i got some low #'s. i thought, cool a 50 or somthing. after 2'ish days he didn't get back to me. i thought that for some reason he was telling me to F'off. so i just let it ride. then Wed i sent him a "?". he got back to me right away. turns out he typed the message, but didn't hit send, lol.
turns out his low #'s were around 200, lol, they only made 250. but thats ok, i don't care, i was just going to pick the # i liked the most = 202, cause its symmetrical. i woulda got 200, but he didn't have that one.
I have never really paid attention to serial #'s. No real reason one way or the other, just haven't. But one day I was using my Rouge, and just happened to notice it is #666.
Doomed.......

well, it is a sickness, so.......
That is my experience as well... even the X1 RDA I have with the copper center post... I can taste it... so I switched it back to the Stainless post at the cost of some minor voltage loss.
But to anyone that wants to utilize all copper RDAs etc... I only offer my experience with them and what I perceive. I don't have concrete proof its bad for you, only antiquated commenting from years passed of possible issues, I just choose not to utilize them.
I have an old tugboat RDA with that sn... 0666... LolI have never really paid attention to serial #'s. No real reason one way or the other, just haven't. But one day I was using my Rouge, and just happened to notice it is #666.

i actually asked if he had a 666, even though i knew they only made 250 of them.

Sunday morning hand check! Silliest purchase ever! But it's light ( 3D printed ) and it works and is very comfy to hold. I like the clock
Well I'm going to go ahead and say how I really feel about this thing...
Here's the pieces and parts mostly how I received them, granted I wiped some of the grease off of them from being used all night:
Pay close attention to the switch, which is technically three pieces. The delrin, The copper inside the delrin, And that big old beefy chunk of copper is the switch basically. Switch housing is that crown looking piece. And then the brass tube that's it.
But I say pay attention to the switch because this f****** thing was used all night. And there is no arc marks, no marring of any kind, nothing. The throw of the switch - before I found that the magnets were cracked was pretty stiff. When I replaced it with a silver plated spring, it made to throw a lot softer so it's more what I'm used to. It's comfortable.
This is not a mod I would recommend a newbie get into. because if they don't know what they're doing it's a real good way to find out just how well your batteries are wrapped. And we all know that can have catastrophic consequences. My current batteries are all well wrapped, but they fit in their snuggly I have to literally take a coiling rod and push the battery out from the top.
This is a heavy piece. Much heavier than any of my rig mods by far with and without a battery in them. The tube is thick as hell, The threads are smooth as s***, and the button is smooth as s***. like I said I did find one thing wrong with this yesterday and that was a sliver of brass stuck inside the switch housing. Again it could be from threading a brand new tube together. And if you notice on the inside of the top half of the mech, there's some kind of dirt or maybe that's from the coating process, I'm not really sure I do know that it does not come out. But you're not looking at the inside of this thing.
Overall I enjoy it if I set it down I definitely know I'm not holding something. My fingers will be lifting 250 lb weights before too long by themselves. LOL.
My biggest complaint about this thing is the delrin. I f****** hate delrin. Ultem or PEEK would have been fine since they are a little bit denser and a little harder. But delrin is just f****** garbage for this purpose.
Was it worth the bread that I spent on it? Absolutely. Well I gush over this company? No I've seen a lot of pictures of different devices. I can honestly say for this being my first mod from these guys, if they can keep the quality standards up like this continuously, they will have my business indefinitely.
I will say that these things are mighty pricey. I seen a pure silver mod by this company for $1,500.

I'm pretty sure it's not delrin. The plain brass version of this mod uses ultem so probably this one uses black ultem.
God I hope I don't get that bored. Lol. Cleanliness is best though.Quarantined and reeeeeeeeeeeeally starting to show, lol. Cleaning check
