Walt Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 This one is weird to my way of thinking. Had to try it. A Horizon Tech Turbo. Yes that Bizarre thing with the propeller in the top. Picked it up on a "get rid of cheep" sale at a local B&M. Lol, I can see why. Anyway, had to try building the RDA deck. What a pain! No way to pre-burn of for that matter check resistance until the whole unit was assembled. Two coils, each 12 wraps of SS 26ga. Assembled it was .49Ω. No way! After a few warm-up hits it went down to .39Ω. That makes sense. But, what the heck happened here? Definitely not shorted. High joint cold? Have I created a pipe bomb? Great vapor production and flavor. lol, much better than I thought this crazy tank could ever produce. Should I wear a welding helmet when I vape this thing?

Bebop Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Walt, Walt.......take it easy........get out and smell the flowers......water a rose......,take in some good mountain air. it'll all be there when you get back. I've heard of the Horizon but never tried it. Does it "whirr" when you hit it? Edna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FXRich Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 The saying goes, "the simpler the better" I don't think I want a tank with moving parts in it. The tank I use the most is a Kanger Subtank mini, don't get much simpler than that, and no moving parts. Adversarious1, Edna and Walt 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 This one freaked me out a little as it started out a full .1Ω on the high side then after firing it the resistance dropped to an expected level. I am going to take it apart again tonight as I want to check the tightness of the grub screws and cut back the cotton a little. I seemed just a tad on the try side. Not burnt, but not a clean flavor either. But again with that wacked out build deck, it may never be a great tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bebop Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 With cotton, less is more, particularly with higher VG juices. Walt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share Posted February 22, 2017 With cotton, less is more, particularly with higher VG juices. I'm pickin up on that slowly. Always worried there's not enough. So I end up trimming it a few times till I get it right. Sent from my iPad using The Vapor Talk mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trimmed back the cotton just loosely fit the juice channels and Voila! You nailed it spot on. On third the cotton and three times the vapor.
