what material is it made of? wouldnt really want plating on a build/drip deck

The deck is gold plated SS (don't know why it's gold plated, but it sure is purty!!!!)
The rest of it (mid-section and top cap) are SS, and the screw down drip tip holder is delrin
Been using it all day and it's a cracking little thing!

Got a message from ash at myepack at 1 30 this morning ? ? ? ? Just to say that they have the Tai Ji in stock and anybody who ordered over the weekend will have their rda posted on Monday.

Thanks for that striker42

I bought a 454 Big Block RDA but so far I have not had much success with getting the setup right. I followed a few Youtube videos but once I set it up it is a bit disappointing in terms of vapour production. I will keep at it but any tips would be useful.

That thing looks like an overengineered pain in the hoop! Lol A tobh with a little bit of modding is more like it for vapour

To be truthful I think it is one of the best engineered drippers that I have seen. Building it is reasonably easy but I think my problem is wicking.

In my experience with drippers so far vapour production goes hand in hand with airflow.
I was also disappointed when I started out dripping, but when you get a nice build it's worth the effort.
What device are you using it on?
If you are on a mech you won't see big clouds until you get your resistance down to the .5 and under range.
DISCLAIMER: if you are going to sub-ohm on a mech make sure you know your ohms law and do your homework re battery safety
Having said that, 0.3-0.5 should give you nice big clouds and tons of flavour. Try and get your air flow coming in under the coils (haven't seen the 454 so not sure of the build - but focus on your airflow. Wicking should be less of a problem in a dripper as long as your cotton isn't too tight in your coil, and your wicks aren't blocking your airflow.
Don't get me wrong.. with the right setup you will get decent clouds single coil at 0.8-0.9, but for big clouds I find around 0.3 to be good. If you go that low I would only really recommend Sony VTC4 or 5's
Drippers can be a faff to start with, but once you get used to them it's hard going back to a tank.
If you haven't read it yet, Hijack did an excellent guide to battery safety.

Thanks for the info. I only use VTC4, VTC5 and Efest Purple batteries. I will probably be using the dripper on a Vaporshark rDNA.

Sweet, the sony are excellent batteries and super safe, they just die if you get carried away rather than blow up and all that jazz. Anyway as said lower ohms is where the clouds live, also regarding the wick, the lower the ohms the tighter you tend to want it. For the air flow and coil position I find aiming the air at the lower half of the coil and leaving it clear underneath for the air to get through really helps.

I tend to run really low ohms like 0.08 etc but the vape isn't hot and harsh as people would think, it's actually really smooth and quite cool. I actually get a warmer vape out the kfl+ with a 1ohm coil

I may actually get the black one for atop the DNA30, it would look better sitting on top of that

The black is very nice, the coating is durable and not the type that scratches off easily.

Looks great on a matching mod.

Looks great on that hijack

Leo is spot on there its surprising the difference that lifting the coils slightly so that the air is drawn underneath makes to vapour production.
