May i ask from which seller you got them from?

Technically? Yeah, at least with the current batch of HG2s floating around. If you had an unused one from, say mid 2015 it might be better... *maybe*.

The "current batch" Chocos are still not bad really, especially under sub-40/50w applications. But they're just not up to the level of the 30Q/VTC6 for higher load applications... they heat up pretty fast.

That said, neither the 30Q nor the VTC6 is as easily found locally, and the Chocos are fine if you're looking for the capacity, especially if you can get them cheap. Just don't stress them too much.

Rohan Odinson One of the sellers up on Lazada. I can't remember which one though... unfortunately lol. Have to recheck later.

Wanna ask sifus.....what is the ddifferent between Geekvape Eagle [top flow version] and Griffin25? Look at both design same. Which one better?

This post has been edited by Veronica: Aug 16 2016, 08:14 PM

The Eagle is *actually* a Subohm Tank... in a sense. It uses precoiled decks, but the cotton is replaceable like normal RTAs. I'm not sure if you can actually recoil the pre-made decks themselves, but that's not what it was made for. Not sure if it comes with an actual RBA section either.

The Griff is a normal RTA, where you have to recoil and rewick yourself.

Which one better? Depends in how cash-flush you are (precoiled-decks cost considerably more, like OCCs/attys for other Tanks... but being able to rewick yourself means that it'll last longer on the Eagle) and how much you like to fuss with building your own coils (Tanks are of course easier to deal with compared to RTAs).

Thanks for the info. Watch it on youtube......better go for Griffin. Griffin22 and Griffin25....don't know which one to choose. Any advise?

Hmm. Depends. Which one would look better on your mod lol...

But seriously, the 22 *might* have slightly better flavour (coz it's smaller) and the 25 *might* have some improvements (coz it's newer)... but all things considered it'll just be splitting hairs so yeah... back to which one would look better lol.

The 25 might have a bigger deck to build on though, if you wanna run weird wire coils (claps, tigers, aliens, staplers).

You've hit the nail on the flavour part. While the flavour is decent enough (also depends on your build), it muted some notes off my juice and I made it so I should as hell know what its supposed to taste like.

Granted I am a bit spoiled with RDAs but still, was kinda surprised how my apple pie vape turned into more of a tart. It killed the cinnamon but entensified the apple, and when tested with a fruity vape the flavour was fine. Might be suited for fruity ADV, cream and bakery not so much

Edit: Also looking for a RTA for a daily driver right now. Have a few option in mind but still weighing the pros and cons

Do the mod chip degraded over times?

Today suddenly came across my colleague's VTC Mini, bought earlier than my VTC Mini but very underutilized (which is less than 10 times). Borrowed from him, updated to the latest FW and put my tank on. Immediately notice there's some difference.
On my Mini, it showed 0.36ohm, but on his Mini, it showed 0.31ohm.
On my Mini, SS316L mode will jump to Power Mode while on his Mini, it stayed.

Time to get a new mod? Perhaps Cuboid?

You need to clean the 510 connector.

Not that I know off. I'm still using a D2 as my beater mod and a RX200 as an indoor mod. Aside form RX200, D2 is quite outdated and it still performs fine. BTW VTC mini aren't really known for their built quality so you might have a slightly different quality with each VCT minis. Just avoid Joytech in general if I were you.

I encounter the same on my cuboid since give or take they are the same on the same chip, to solve the TC mode jump to power mode just don't update to latest firmware. I able to stay on TC with the default firmware but once I updated to 200w firmware it will auto jump. No idea what went wrong but definitely related to the chip itself. Hope this help but i'm not interest in JT chip anymore though LOL

But they make such good cheap mods lol. It's just a bit of a roulette when it comes to their stuff.

Personally, ALL my JT chipped mods (Pico, TwoThirds and yeah... the VTC) NEVER jump out of SSTC with single strand coils, especially spaced. They do go nuts on twisted SS though... except for the TwoThirds, which is taking all the TC coils I feed it like a champ so far.

However, if it has never done the jumpy-jacks before and is doing it now, it's either the sucky 510 getting loose (which often happens in JT mods) or (like snake1983 said) some firmware related issues.

Oh I don't mean to step on anybody toes here. I too uses the Rulo on a daily basis. But Rulos are made by Wismec, like how Gshock is to Casio. While it still share the same parent company, its a different branch all together. Eismec has a slightly better quality control over Joytech, but of course that may have to do with Wismec is relatively a new company.

Looking at Pico, they might've actually listened to their customer for once but still, I' really getting a 'jinkeys' whever Joytech announce a new product.

No toes stepped in lol. Just that it's a pity when JT actually makes good stuff... as long as you know that they are cheap devices that *DO* come with some... rather shitty... parts (USB, 510).

And yeah, the Pico for one is rock solid (the USB is still shit though). The VTC is actually quite solid too... save for the shitass microUSB port and 510.

Seriously, they should just fix their damn 510s and it'll be much, much easier to recommend their stuff without reminding people about it lol.

I personally go with 25 simply because it has a larger deck option and wider airflow. The griffin as far as i know of is capable of producing mass clouds but still retain the flavour (depends on your build), my friend build a naked staple in the Griffin 25 and the RTA instantly became a massive cloud chugger with full flavour. But that only if you like warmer vape and you dont mind the juice flowing fast like a river. Lol.


P/s: vape at 100watts+

folks...

RA-D Tank by Portal bole pakai? any feedback?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xx6bMFRPjMc

Well, I personally think that covering the lack of flavour in an atty with coils that drain twice as much power and juice is an exercise in folly... but to each their own.

That said, if I wanna really argue efficiency, I wouldn't rock twin coils in my ADV and would still be vaping my mech + Tipu-fun MTL setup lol. Horses for courses lah.

gunners_my Been looking at that too. Should be pretty meh everything considered, but the ease of recoiling + low costs could actually make it a breakthrough design... as long as it performs decently enough and not leak everywhere.

Interested in getting one for my technophobe dad if it works okay. The JT OCCs for his Tron gets quite expensive after a while.

yup, bro... it said leaks free (damn, all tanks claimed to be leaf free ).. and the video above, no dry hits at high wattage... these two plus no coiling needed sounds really attractive to me... but, with no urgency, thought of getting more feedback first...

why didnt you buy the rebuildable head for the tron?

it would be a cheaper cost compare to the occ..

tron tank joyetech ke?
