Well, I had to take a break from work to give everyone an update...

I tracked him down this morning and handed him the "box"... he sighed heavily and said, "I guess it was too far gone, huh?"

I smiled, and opened the box, and showed him the "clean" Russian, and began to explain that I was giving it back to him because there was NOTHING wrong with it (aside from the idiot that sold it to him). He tried to be nice and insist that I keep it anyway, but I told him that I couldn't do that to him (or anyone for that matter)... He had been taken advantage of once already, and there was no reason why he shouldn't ENJOY his purchase, to the fullest extent possible!

I took it apart and showed him how parts are supposed to fit, how the coil was built and mounted, etc. I then educated him on using an Ohm meter (showed him how with mine), how to dry-burn the coil (and look for inside-out glow), how to tweak the coil if it gets bent during re-wicking... how to wick it, re-assemble, and how to properly fill (from the bottom).

He was so excited to see it properly built, and insisted that we fill it and "take a break" so he could try it out

BTW, Comp, he loved your PBFB, and I gave him your website so he can order more

He had bought that RTA about a year ago, and it had been sitting in the box (slowly leaking juice) since the day after he bought it Now, he has a fully functional, authentic RTA... and hopefully he's a little more educated as well

On Tuesday, I was vaping outside work and one of my co-workers noticed my gear and struck up a conversation. He realized I was using a Russian 91% and mentioned that he had one that was "junk", and wanted to know if I could use it for parts. Hey, free is free, so I said "sure"... he brought it to me yesterday... in the original box, unopened accessories, and leaking juice like crazy .

Last night, I was taking it apart for cleaning, and quickly realized exactly WHY it was such a horrible RTA for him



He normally uses KPT2's/Nautilus on a Mech-mod or Vamo, and some shop in/near Lexington, KY talked him into buying it (obviously to make a sale of a $139 RTA)... and this is what the shop built for him... with cotton piled-high around the coil, packed in the chimney!

I checked the resistance, and it's a 0.7 Ohm coil... on an RTA where builds are best in the 1.2-1.8 Ohm range (yes, the upper deck is scorched and insulator slightly melted - yes, it is wrapped around the air-hole). I honestly don't see how this thing could to anything but make the deck hot and leak like screen-doors on a submarine

I cleaned it up last night, and tonight I'm going to build it RIGHT @ 1.4-1.6 Ohms and organic Japanese cotton... and offer it back to him tomorrow... after-all, it's not his fault the shop is ran/staffed by idiots....

you will love it for the price you can't go wrong. Kinda reminds me of a older tank, but all new school with air flow, pimp coils and you can fill it to the brim. Just amazing. If I had to call the good pre made coils for 2015 the ego one coils, and the innokin coils for the I sub. Will hit a dry hit on my kanger V2 + right now. Innokin owns it for the price. Hands down winner for value and quality.

I'll second that!

My wife and I have a pretty high success rate on conversion. I think we've converted a dozen people in the last couple years (we're running out of smoking friends!) one guy was a tough nut to crack but he's been analog free for months and months and he's happy as a clam now. It's really rewarding getting people off the analogs. And one for one they still rave about being so glad to be done with the nasties. It really is a life changer for people.
