Chinese tat

[osdset]

I'm fed up with it, from Orchid clones that leak constantly and other RBA's that simply aren't fit for purpose. Every single clone I own apart from my trusty Kraken, is a heap of crap.

[Q]

I've had a few like that but mostly the clones I've received have been really good, the subtank clones in particular are excellent

Maybe it's user error

Nothing Wong with my Chinese gear

Think i might have had the same orchid clones as you osdset i sent em onto someone wanting to test out heat tinting SS

tho the vast majority of the clone atty's ive had from china have been spot on. and even taking the 2 or 3 bum jobs i have received the ££ saving on buying branded attys is huge.

I must admit osdset the two Orchid clones I had were probably the biggest load of vaping shit I've ever bought. But most of the other stuff has been very good. I've managed to kinda get the V3 Orchid working using a Kayfun bell cap but the V4 got the better of me and I found it a new home in six feet of grass. What else are you having trouble with ?

Remember when you used to buy a cheap pirated DVD from the guy down the market, a 10th of the price of the original but.......

A NextGen clone that is supposedly leak proof but pisses juice through the airflow at every opportunity unless it's been left to sulk for an hour or so after filling. A Kayfun top fill cap for the Orchid that was machined too big, I had to remove the top section and lap a couple of thou off the mating part so it actually sealed against the O rings when screwed down.

Push came to shove yesterday when I had to take my new kbox apart to dry out the innards, I've had to do the same with a Dimitri clone that was sapping wet inside.

I Just don't get it, the Orchids all worked fine at first, then all developed incontinence more or less at the same time. It's the same problem, a constant dribble from the airflow holes. I've tried blowing them though after filling, leaving them upside down for a while, the right way up for a while etc.  Nothing seems to work.

I think I'll go back to my Genesis type RBA's and consign the Orchids to the spares box.

My Orchids are leak free 96% of the time, the other 5% (if they lay on their side for a while) they empty the tank and almost killed my phone last time. The only thing that really works is a silicon vape band over the air holes.

All my 6x Orchid (V2-V7) clones are 100% leak free, all from Fasttech. I think you're problem is down to poor wicking osdset ,or not getting the seals properly sealed. I tend to use Cellucotton rayon more often than jap cotton so this may make a difference as well.

Get a genny. Forget RBAs - they're for people who like getting juice on their hands.

The rayon probably helps as you, well I do anyway, tend to use more, but I modded the V6 chimney cap to fit in a V4 (easier to rewick), reduced the chamber, one piece plastic tank and put risers on the air inlets. With temp limiting and big triple 0.16 mm twisted coils it gives me the best flavour from cotton I have ever had, still not as good as ss rope in a genny for me.
