TFV8 BABY BEAST RBA

[thebishman]

Just recieved my new rba head for the baby beast from VapingBad

Came coiled with some fancy 2.5mm ID claptons (i think). Wicked it. Half filled it and waited for it to leak. It didnt. So let the wicks soak up. Had a toot. Very nice. Filled her right up and forgot to close airflow so it leaked a little bit.

Left it to stand for 1 hour. No leaks. Great.

Gave it some welly...50w. Great flavour. Chucks the clouds (even though its my home made 50 50 blackcurrent). However i have never been a fan of claptons as i find they are a bit spitty. Yes i can increase the power to minimise that but then its too hot for my liking.

So guys...how do you build your rba for this baby beast as i know ill be experimenting.

So far am happy with it...just need to tweak it.

Cheers

thebishman - out of interest, is this RBA deck dual coiled, or single? Might be tempted as, being a cheapskate, I like to be able to rebuild to save spending on stock coils which last a fortnight at most!
Could I have a sneaky picture next time you have it out of the tank too, please!?

Hi mate...yes i shall take a pic next time i strip it.

The deck is dual coil btw.

And yes its the saving money that made me want to buy it. I know i will crack it. Just in the mean time wonder how others build theirs.

Thanks thebishman I'll follow this thread with interest

[thebishman]

No probs mate. Give me a few days to play with it

Is this Rba just a smaller version of the tfv8 cloud beast Neil.

I have no idea!

Just watched a vid and yes it is mmmm think I need one then.

Little tip Neil pull you wicks threw the juice slots then cut them and pull back up towards your coil it really does help with wicking the juice.

[thebishman]

Ok cheers. Will experiment tomorrow

Good you are not having the issues I had with 100% PG, I had to stuff too much cotton in the base to stop it leaking that it would not wick, fluffing wasn't enough to stop it pi55ing out liquid. Vaping Ni200 Claptons at 450 F it could only just get it to run at 20 W inhaling as hard as I can after using the liquid that primed the wicks. I was sure from the reviews I saw that it was incompatibility with thinner liquid and didn't expect you would have any issues, what PG:VG ration are you on Neil thebishman ?

It worked well with dual 26 AWG 3 mm ID SS316L coils, IIRC 7 or 8 wraps (until the priming liquid was used up or letting it leak), good solid connection for temp protection.

Ive definatly stuff the wick in there. Probably too much.

I normally make 50 50 jon. Left it over night and it hasnt leaked.

I might make some 60vg 40pg and recoil it altogether today.

[thebishman]

Well ive managed to find some time to have a play.

Recoiled it altogether with 0.4 kanthel wire. 3mm id coils. Came out at 0.35ohms.

Used slightly less koh gen doh cotton this time. Had it "snug" in the coil and wicking channels. Not as tight as i did first time.

Now this is exactly what i was hoping it would be like. Amazing flavour...wicking very well can chain vape it at 40w.
Nice warm vape with great flavour. Still using 50 50 ratio juice. God knows what the clouds would be like with thicker juice!

Heres some pics as promised....

though it would be good with thicker liquid and glad you like it.
