That looks like a great RBA. The only thing that gives me pause is that I now that thing is gonna consume juice at breakneck speeds.
The way things are, I've shied away from stuff like that to a large degree.
The way I set it up is good at 50W but better at 60-65. I installed a single coil to test the airflow. That thing could've easily incorporated airflow reducers. That'd be a bit elaborate for a RBA I guess..That looks like a great RBA. The only thing that gives me pause is that I now that thing is gonna consume juice at breakneck speeds.
The way things are, I've shied away from stuff like that to a large degree.
I was worried about it being too airy so I put a big 4mm coil and Drop Solo maneuvered it right over that airflow hole. The flavor is doing really good. I'm going to try a smaller single coil next time. If I use dual coils, I'm going try something simple. I don't want to burn a bunch of liquid either. It's by far the largest RBA I've ever had. The air tube right up the middle is massive but I think I've slowed it down a lot. It would've been awesome with honeycomb airflow like the nexMESH Pro deck.

Just got in some DTs.
Six of these black "Gorilla" 510 DT's, very nice for 44 cents each. A good size bore on them too.
And, the Smok brand purple 810 one to match with my incoming Pico 2 Squeeze. Kinda wanted the Aleader one, just a bit nicer IMO, but not worried since those cost a lot more.
It's got a bit of pinkish/red on the sides, but I'm not complaining since I paid like $5 for seven DT's.
The Pico is in Seattle so a day away, and the VS order for the Wismec CB-80 just shipped today too.
Should get them this week, hopefully.

OMG such an exciting vape mail day!!! LOL Okay, can't have vape gear EVERY day. Honestly this stuff is pretty awesome. Organic Japanese cotton slivers.
It’s pretty good and the price when you buy 8 is just even better

Well darn it all @Just Frank You enabler you! LOL I just ordered the Tank and RBA. Looks like a kick arse RBA and Smok has come a long way in the last few years with their stuff anyway. So, why not. May not be able to get stuff so easily in the near future.

or @gadget! Both could keep all of us well supplied
I jest, I'm fairly well set here. I mean I have mech mods that I really enjoy. The higher ups can even try and come in my home to take stuff if they want. I'm sure they will enjoy meeting my wolf/shepherd. I can not believe how aggressive he is now and he's not even 3 yet. He is a better guard dog than my Kuvasz was. Anyone that knows about the Kuvasz, well that's saying a lot. I do still miss her though. What a fantastic companion she was. Sorry, I'm rambling.

Best tip ever!
I've got an american bulldog boxer mix that I rescued that gets almost uncontrollable when a stranger steps foot on my property. He is a big teddy bear with the family, but strangers winds him up instantly. But my son's Shih Tzu Schnauzer mix is still the main threat. No joke, he will bite anyone he doesn't know at the first opportunity. It is interesting how dogs can just flip like a switch.or @gadget! Both could keep all of us well supplied

Congrats on getting it. USPS is trash everywhere it seems. We had that delivery exception crap yesterday. But it showed up today ( was hubby's stuff for a change, not mine )
Eightvape. Dont forget the codes....notice my screenshot.
The Chubby Gorilla 510 Drip Tip, they have different colors. Some sites say they are silicone, but they are not..they are regular plastic. Nothing special, but just like those olde-skool black 510s that came with atties, they work well and don't look bad either. If the gorilla texture bugs ya, just rotate it around so it ain't touching your lips.
If you wanted, you CAN find them for like 100/$10-15, as they are made to be disposable for vape tasting for shops. But, I think I'll keep mine. ;-)

Remember that Profile M RTA that went AWOL and then they re-shipped me one, that I have now?Congrats on getting it. USPS is trash everywhere it seems. We had that delivery exception crap yesterday. But it showed up today ( was hubby's stuff for a change, not mine )
DHL delivered the missing one today out of the blue while I was sleeping with Milly.
Surprised the hell outa me, just sitting on my doorstep. I think I know why it was kicked around by customs/USPS though...it said 'atomizers' on the lable. The package that went through did not.
Figured I'd post a pic of one in use, on a OG Griffin for scale...
Just about the perfect size, IMO.

Who labeled it atomizers?
I am not sure, they use many companies for the process..
The original box, had been re-boxed inside another box, all sent via DHL. So I don't know what all occurred.
This was on the label:
I do not blame Wotofo, whom I generously got the item from for free from a contest. I am thankful.
When the original shipment went awry and was bounced by customs, they immediately sent me out another in good faith. I had minimal and professional conversations in PM about it, mainly just if there was tracking. Forums rules dictate I cannot say what those conversations were. I'm not new to Wotofo.
Just happened that they both ended up arriving, eventually. I do feel somewhat bad that I got two RTAs, but as it was not my error that made it so, I accept it and move on. As they will.
China is not the USA, things are very different there.
Back in the day in 2012-2013, I'd order vape stuff directly via YIM or MSM, with no guarantees...or, go through a 3rd party who ordered for a group. Trust was the real currency. ;-)
Simply put, if you develop a relationship of trust, and have the cash, you can order anything, from anywhere. I followed Doris from Focal to her new company of 2Fdeal, and she remembered me. And, likes my cat. We have trust.

OK, I thought you meant the label on the package said atomizers and I was wondering who it was from, for future reference. IK FT has been putting on my shipping labels that its a car part, toy, filter, etc..I am not sure, they use many companies for the process..

Wangtefu looks to be Wotofo, which makes sense for a contest win.
The label of the one that came through, was indeed different than the one that did not...we're all learning here eh? IMO, be glad the Chinese don't just say FU dumbasses and shut down anything vape to 'Merrica.
I would, they dont need us. We need them...not the other way around. They have the rest of the planet.

Got a couple packages in today. First is from Desire Designs, my silicone bottles for the DS.
Next is a package from @inganeer. Geo Mods Cycloid 2.1 with spare door kits.
The cycloid looks pretty good so far, nice and compact. Gotta find a few minutes to pick out an atty and toss a build in it and see how it runs.

The cycloid is an awesome little mod. Very comfortable to hold and it works great. I made a deal with the devil (wife) that if I buy something that something has to go. Hated to but she knows to the penny how much I've spent on gear since I started vaping. Over 5 digits not counting the change lol. Most of it I have PIFed and still have some that no body wants anymore.

My wife keeps track too, so I know exactly where you are coming from. I just blew most of my share of the Uncle Sam check already, on this cycloid and another Kronig mod. Figured if the gov'ment is gonna make it hard to get vape gear soon, might as well use their dime to get some nice stuff while I can.
I just stripped the Cylcoid down for a cleaning, and I gotta hand it to ya, this thing is sparkling clean. Your maintenance game must be top notch. I am used to having to do at least a little clean up. Not with this one. I tip my hat to you sir!
Now to set up an RDA. I have a feeling this is going to be one of my new favorites.
Nightmare 25 or Mini?
Electric Blue Asgard Mini
I saw pictures of a polished blue Asgard. This one has a very lightly brushed texture but I'm fine with that.

Well I hope you like it! I'm using the RBA in a TFV16. The TFV18 is slightly narrower but still uses the exact same glass size. They're pretty much the same tank but with a few minor differences.
The RBAs are big and you can try out a lot of things in there. Like I said though, I wish they'd have come up with airflow inserts for variety.
I have a few of those Chubby Gorilla ones. They make a few colors because I have Black and red I think.Just got in some DTs.

Some of my favorite 510 drip tips are the simple black delrin ones that come on Baby Beast tanks. I found some at Fasttech that are similar and really cheap.
https://www.fasttech.com/p/9713181
I have tons of silicon covers that slide over them too. Those covers come on old Uwell coils like the Rafale tanks coils.
The purple one you got come on Prince tanks. I have a lot of Prince tanks so a lot of those drip tips too ? . They're pretty durable. Some of the cheaper ones break. The resin separate from the cobra skin or whatever frame.
Got my prize from @WotofoOfficial comp, 1st impression are very good, looks good and feels nice, got it priming now

Today I got a unexpected package at my door.
A glass piece for the tank that I love so much. It was for my Taifun GTIII. @Theboss picked this up for me at place near him where they had one in stock. Then sent it onto me as a surprise gift. What a gift it is too! I had given up getting one.
What an amazing person he is to have gone and done this for me. I am so happy to have my GTIII back up and running. He also put a few extra
goodies in the box. A very nice pair of ceramic tweezers and some really cool looking battery wraps. I am at a loss for words really. Thank you Boss, you are one hell of a guy.
I already re-wrapped one of my batteries

That setup looks good!
Lol, thanks!
What kind of coils are you using in the gt3 to get flavor out of it? Snagged a clone and while I realize it's not authentic stumped why I hardly get any flavor out of it. Have just used regular round wire coils, contact and spaced, 28ga, 26ga stainless 316L. Same as like I'd build for a kayfun v4 or v5. Have vaped clones of those and they have exceptional flavor. My gt3 not so much. I just get bland vapor out of it, must be doing something wrong.Today I got a unexpected package at my door.

This came today with little warning. Last tracking info said it cleared customs, was being tendered to usps for delivery but that usps hadn't gotten the package yet. Even when I kept getting that message eventually I got a new one that said not only had it reached my local po it was out for delivery. Usps tracking is worthless.
So far looks awesome. Haven't washed it up or built it yet. Holy tiny build decks! For a 25mm rta I was pretty shocked. Might actually have more build room on the kfv5 lol. Guess I figured it would be more like the fatality m25 but the chamber is much much smaller. Pleasantly surprised to find it has 2 chimney options for changing diameter. Didn't know it had that. Some people have their preferred soundtrack for when they're building. Think I need to blast Aqua's "Barbie Girl" lmfao.

Gosh, that is unusual. Even using plain round wire coils I get wonderful flavor from my GT3. That is why I was so heartbroken when the tank part finally crapped out and I could not find another. Right now I have a simple clapton wire in there reading around .65 or so. Amazing flavor. I would try taking it all apart and either putting the pieces in an ultrasonic cleaner ( if you have one ) or soak it in some very hot water with a little baking soda, overnight. Could even use a small soft toothbrush to really get into the little nooks and crannies etc. I have had to do that with a couple of my tanks from China.

The Supreme V3 is a lovely tank. I didn't care for the drip tip much but no big deal there. I too found this was a tank I needed toss in my USC. First few times building the flavor was meh, even the prototypes were this way. After a good cleaning though, they are amazing. That was why I mentioned doing this to your GT.
Love the saying on the box
"All you'll ever need" Yep, that was my idea and I was thrilled Maggie used that slogan. Made me feel all special like.The new box design was made by another VU member here. I wont say who, but that was a great change also. Their old boxes were crappy imo.

Yea so many rave about the gt3, just shit lack of flavor for me. Which I found odd using stainless, same exact wire I use in other atomizers. I've tried washing with warm soapy water, toothbrush, soaking for a few hours. Haven't put it in an ultrasonic so may try that. Drives me nuts because visually it's so similar to the kayfuns. The deck, size, airflow inlet, chamber, chimney. And since they're both clones, comparing to a kayfun v4, v5 and the gt3, the kayfuns actually have shittier machining inside the top of the chamber where it bevels and reduces to the chimney. Almost like they're grooved like curves done with 3d printing where it's stepped, the gt3 clone is much smoother. I figure I must be fucking it up somehow. But then people love the hadaly, both the authentic and clone and I get shit flavor on the hadaly clone too. Who knows what I do to them. lol.The Supreme V3 is a lovely tank.

Very cool about the VU member designing the box, definitely well thought out and nice clean art, nice magnetic folding closure. Good layout internally for all the parts and pieces. That one needs to go in the ultrasonic before I use it.

The only other thing I can think of for you to try is thin those wick tail ends out some more. That might make a difference. When you get a chance and if you want, show me the build ( mostly the wicking through the coils ) leave the tail ends out so I can see what they look like. Wish I could be more help.
When my tank is empty I will show you mine
You show me yours and I'll show you mine!

Agree the Supreme V3 is awesome, and it's great to know that you and she-who-shall-not-be-named had a hand in the packaging redesign.
I wish I could buy about a half dozen of them. I'd pack a bunch of these other tanks away in a heartbeat!

Okay so @Synphul here is how I wick the GT3. About this much cotton. I know it's hard to tell with a picture but you do not want it too tight under the coil. Just slightly snug.
I cut it to about the edge of the base, thin out the ends pretty well. Then simply cut that excess fluff away.
Set it into the channels, but don't stuff it in there too tight. if you get any leaking ( I haven't yet ) you can close down the juice flow control to only having one of the holes open.
I don't know if any of this will help you. It's such a great tank. I would love to see you get the flavor from it that myself and others do. I can't imagine that it being a clone should matter much. I mean anything is possible I guess. Let me know how you get on with it next time you try.
Also my coilmaster always reads higher than what the coil is. Not sure why it does but it does not matter. It serves the purpose I use it for.
On a mod, this coil is reading a .75
