Best platform to build RTAs ?

[Rickster]

Why? What makes it '3 times as expensive' better?

Edit: asking seriously, is there something that makes it better?

I use this one, but its discontinued now https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10045058/9615712-authentic-vgme-3-in-1-521-tab-v3-tester-battery
In my experience they last longer, had a couple of em cheaper ones in the past, they don't last, board goes, 510 goes....they're shit

I don't really need it for resistance, can eyeball it, but I can't get on with spaced coils. They always go snap crackle pop when I do them.

Nope, it's no 'better' than anything else, but I like it as a build platform

For those people who don't use a mod or an ohmreader - do you bother to pulse / strum the coil to even out the glow?

indeed i doo but once too often forgetting to 5x off the device or an err in doing so resulting in burnt cotton or burnt me tends to lead me to pull off as soon as the coil has been proven an even burner..

Also i often prime a bit heavy and juice runs off the deck before its absorbed sometimes..

Oh, for sure, this thing is tiny and the only weight to it is the 18650 battery.

And yeah, i dunno how long it will last, but i just wanted something cheap until i trusted myself not to do something stupid that fries my mod the second i try to fire it, rather it fries than by newly beloved aegis (way more impressed with it than the armour pro despite not having all the bells and whistles)

I have a highly expensive custom wood base.
actually I just smacked a nut into an old off cut of pine..

My atomiser stand is very similar. We had a very big expensive solid oak coffee table that would have lasted five hundred years and doubled as an air raid shelter but Mrs kid decided (as she often does) that we needed a change and a much crappier one (in my opinion that means little) was bought. The nice one went to the brother in law who wanted it to fit into his alcove for his huge tv. It was about two inches too large so with tears in my eyes I cut the table down. I now have a two foot long oak atty stand.

Is it something like this you're after ?

Yep, exactly like that.

A piece of scrap wood and a 7mm drill bit

If u want to add a nice touch, use a 22 or 24 mm paddle bit to add a slight countersink

Its free and u can make as many as u want

That's a great idea.


Thanks for all of the replies everyone, seems that there's loads of options.

This is my DIY solution...

i assumed everybody built with the atty on the mod. it seems like the obvious choice, since that’s where it lives. no point taking it off and putting it somewhere else just to put it back on again.
