I need to simmer down, lol
We'll be comparing notes soon enough
It's highly likely mine will be a tomorrow thing
Plus, gotta do a 25 mile round trip to go get it

A major purchase with a lot of promise. I'm loving the Kayfun I got recently and this one will fill the higher end rdtl role now.That's the longest driveway I ever heard of.Plus, gotta do a 25 mile round trip to go get it

Ah, just delivered to private PO Box, now gotta wait for civilian post office pricks - they are worse than actual snivel servants - trying to decide if I should just shoot down there and waste a day
If they treat it like a package, we will get a text; if they stuff it in the box, no notice of when they put it in

Ah, this baby is smoooooth - its on an old school but authentic SMPL - just matches it perfectly and figured it would bring out the best in this baby
Only actually been vaping it for 20 minutes - the first pic was just to show off, lol.
I soaked it while I took a shower, then built it to Todd's specs to ensure no screw ups - MTL tip first, am trying the various air - so far enjoying two open holes on both sides best
.7 ohms build, 2.5 triple fused Clapton, 30/32 and Cotton Bacon V2
Am liking it better than the Hussar, and I LOVE the Hussar
Draw is more like the Haku RSA - I don't have that many RTAs, and none newer than Hussar RDTA

Looks awesome!!!! I don't have a Hussar or an RSA to compare it to myself. I do have a Simpl, but it's a clone and the only 18650 I have that will fit in it is the HG2
For now, I think I'm going to put mine on one of my Katanas. I'm thinking something along the lines of what you have in your yours. .7 .8 clapton.
It's out for delivery today. Which still doesn't mean anything until it's in my hand. I had one last year go out for delivery and disappear for 4 months.

SMPL clones are very very good - but it will look great on whatever you use, hahaha
The little cloud design along the bottom doesn't look half bad - could still do without the Haar logo on the top piece, but the vape is worth it
i'm sure some of them are, but the one I have will never be used. The LG HG2 is the only battery that will fit inside it.
I like the little cloud design, but I can understand how some folks may not. They should offer one with and one without it. I might have liked the top logo to be a little smaller, but I don't really mind it.
I really jacked up my first try in it. Was in a hurry. Have to get to a job. Well, really bad juice choice. At least for this tank. Lots of really bad flavor. That's not the tank though. Also, I used CB prime for the first time in forever and a really nasty new cotton taste too. Maybe I got something on it or something.
In any case will have to play with it again later.
Didn't have much time now.

Ah man, workin interfering with vaping
Yeah, I screwed up on juice choice my first go, this is defo a flavor atty
2F already has a pre order going on for the clone.
I saw that2F already has a pre order going on for the clone.
Quick update. I spun up a dual twisted 28/38 316L clapton for it and cleaned it out for some much better suited juice.
Now it's awesome!!! Silky smooth airflow and rich juicy flavor.
Wrapping coils for it counter clockwise is a great idea that I forgot about, but hopefully will remember next time.
I have some other observations, but not enough time at the moment. Excellent rdtl rta. Definitely up to my expectations.

The Dani Box cannot be improved upon in my opinion, but is also a couple hundred thousand light years out of my price range.
I was thinking about putting it on the Paranormal 250C. A smaller single 21700 75C driven mod would be better though. Or an SX Mini SL would be awesome too. Or even an EHPro Cold Steel.

I'm not supposed to be buying anymore gear, at least without selling something else
Dani is great and would look awesome - but I don't think I would take to the Dicodes - I hate fiddling with settings; besides, this thing shines on a mech
Have almost bought a Dani many many times though - love the simple design
I would just keep it on the SMPL but my arthritic fingers don't like bottom fire long term. Great for now but within a week, if not sooner, my fingers will tell me to cut it out
Most of my non-squonk mechs are Pinoy and a little flashy for the Haar - the design on the Haar begs for simplicity in the mod design

If I was going to get something just for this, it would defo be a something in line with the look of the SMPL, but side fire and has to be mech - like an old Poldiac
Will likely end up desecrated on top of one of my highly loved iSticks LMAO
Or I might whip out a fancy Pinoy mech - I have some lovely parallels but man, busy busy busy and again, a box rather than a tube

I started to answer a guy on ECF about this rta and wound up with all this.

Excellent! Truly level up quality and performance from the mainstream.
Super smooth airflow. I'm running it with the 3 holes on each side open. Side airflow inside well placed in relation to the posts so it's quite easy to get a coil in the right position for maximum flavor and vapor production. In fact it would be tougher if not impossible to get it actually wrong. You'd have to go out of your way to pull the coil up way too high or something.
Build quality also superb, but not 100% flawless. Threads ARE flawless, fit and finish is too. There are however some very minor machining marks inside the chamber that you have to look for and get the light just right to see.
Easy to build, but not the very easiest. Works best with coils wound counter clockwise. Coil needs to be held secure to keep it from worming out while tightening, but not a big deal to negotiate. Some others are far worse for this. Once secure they ARE secure.
Meaty screws and posts so it would take some enthusiasm to strip either the heads in the screws or the threads in either the screws or the posts. The screws are also placed right up against the inside of the posts so anything from thin micros to some fairly wide complex coils can be mounted with confidence.
It has a retention ring on the base that holds in the deck, which can be removed with a full tank. Very nice, but make sure it's tightened all the way when reassembling. It can give the illusion of being fully tight, but needs a bit more. It won't leak if you don't, but it will leave some small gaps.
Wicking is very easy, but use a fair bit more cotton than you might at first be inclined to use. 5 or 6 mm beyond the edge of the deck. The ports are wide and deep, but juiceflow comes from the top and onto the wicking along the outside of the deck. Not from the side or underneath. You need to have the ports full, and fluffy on top for the juice spout things to sit snugly on the cotton. This I could see somebody getting wrong and having some flooding, but quite simple to overcome if so.
Filling is a BIT fidgety, but also no big deal once you have it down. You close the juiceflow, screw off the cap, which has a pretty long travel, fill it up and screw the cap back down. If it's just been rewicked, I open the juiceflow right away. If it's being REfilled, I hit it a couple times before opening the juiceflow, just as an extra measure to avoid too much juice in the chamber. Not an absolute necessity.
The drip tip is a 2 piece affair with a SS base and interchangeable top pieces with a larger and smaller bore depending on what you prefer. It will sit crooked because of the way it goes into the chimney with one o-ring. and the cap with the other. You can push on it all day long and will NOT go in straight. Give it a little twist while pushing it in and it goes fully in and straight and stays that way
Superb rdtl vape. That's it's wheelhouse. Which makes sense because that's Todd's wheelhouse too. It's neither a big air cloud chaser nor really mtl either, though you could tighten it up and be happy with it I suppose.
Wow, I went way outta hand here, but I'm sure I forgot something anyway.

I still can't decide if I like the look of that thing or not
Being made in partnership with Sunbox gives it serious gravitas though - if the pass through works properly
I do like it. I don't know if we're still allowed to say things like this anymore, but it does have a more masculine look to it in my opinion.
I'm a fan of TC. Not slavishly, but I use it in many cases where the mod and the atomizer work well with it. I'm heavily inclined to just leave it on the Katana. With some quick TCR twiddling 25 watts and 420F is vaping really great actually.
i do like the MIXX. I just don't know if it would really improve the actual vape though. I don't know anything about the circuit it uses. I would like the look of the setup better.
I got 2 Katanas for 8 bucks each though
I love good stuff cheap. And while not intended to be user replaceable, I could fairly easily replace the 18650 inside it.

It's Steam Punk meets Art Decco - which I typically like both, not sure about together
Never liked TC much either - give it a whirl every year or so, not worth the hassle IMO
If bypass works well on it, it would be a great vape
I got 2 Katanas for 8 bucks each though
iSticks are my fave cheapos - some of mine are over 5 years old at this point
They look like hell, but vape away, no matter how ratty they look - and they are looking pretty shitty at this point, lol
But, did see a perfect Taifun tube with side throw - I'm thinking about it....
Todd's critique of especially the button placement kinda dampened my enthusiasm.
SXK is coming out with this VERY interesting OG piece.
Yeah, an SX Mini SL would be awesome.

If the chipset is aspires I have no doubt it will, not used it mind but based on previous mods I’ve used of theirs they work well ...battery threads were bit iffy on the squonker they released maybe something to check up on for this

The Revvo was pretty good for the price - never had a problem with the 510 on mine thank goodness
Only Aspire mod I ever had - I was surprised at how solid it was, especially considering the price point. There was noticeable sag though

I found a 22 side throw Taifun mech that would be perf with this, but with the self-imposed rule I have to sell before buying anything new, can't find a lot I'm willing to part with to raise the cash with vapocolypse looming
This thing was great on the SMPL, but my arthritic fingers don't enjoy bottom fire tubes for everyday use
I do have some flashy Pinoy parallels I might whip out - see how they look with it

That's a tall mod, but they actually look good together.
Looking for one right now , I am certain that I can only afford the 1:1Design, draw and waiting till actual users have it in their hands for "real" feedback, I agree with 100%
As for the Hong Kong thing, that was the decision from the start, we wanted to make something that would be more accessible but give the same performance and quality that people expect from V&D
It would have been an easy choice making this in the same location as the theatro but the cost would have been double for the consumer.
If folk buy it and like it, we'll be happy campers, if they don't, well there are plenty other options for them these days and as long as they are off the stinkie stick, I'm happy

I must say hordes are saying Haar can outbest all other MTL ,including the highly promoted and high end purse busters ones .
You'll have a tough time finding a clone'd Haar right now. They appear to have been discontinued a long time ago. Even the authentic Haars are getting harder to find. Last I checked, Squape had some SS in stock and Van & Del had some DLC.
This RTA is still in my daily rotation since its release. I'm not sure how it compares to the best MTL RTAs, but I'd put it up against the best RDL vapes out there like the Imperia, Hussars, etc.
