@Deaf Vaper originals show up very occasionally but still command almost the original asking price - last one I saw was up for £170 and sold almost immediately!
I came across my old Coppervape one yesterday, as I'm streamlining my collection I decided it could be sold - I got it in a group buy on here years ago and used it extensively before passing it on to my Wife when the chance of a POTV version arose - big mistake! The flavour from the new one wasn't a patch on the old one, some very slight alterations had been made, and it used to piss itself randomly for no reason, lost two mods to that bastard - and would she hell give me it back!
It's an extensive kit - comes with frosted, clear and metal tank sections in 2.8ml (iirc) and 5ml and the chimneys for both sizes, an atty stand/build deck and a tank holder for when your working on your build. Sadly both the frosted and clear tanks in 2.8ml expired through use as it was only ever used in that configuration, the metal tank section is the only option for that size. The three 5ml sections are brand new however! It's got some scratches on the base and two tiny dings, one at the top and the other is on the edge of the base, both were there from new
But overall its in decent very usable condition with spare orings etc. The driptip is missing as it was long since changed, it wasn't the best TBH.
Talking of driptips, it has a tendency to pool some liquid in the driptip well, not a lot, but it can cause a wee gurgle when it needs dried out and maybe needs done 3-4 times a day, if I remember rightly - we both lived with it due to the flavour on offer. You occasionally need to take the base apart as condensation can build up which can and does tarnish the contacts in there - not very often though, every few weeks, quick dry out and wee polish of the contacts, just the nature of the design. As Rob says, follow his link for wicking as it works a treat - 3mm coils allows plenty of cotton and you kinda need that. It's an absolute cinch to stick a coil in but wicking takes a bit of practice - you need to leave the wick long then, pull the ends together and lift them up vertically then feed them through a round section that clicks in to the deck, splay your wick back out normally and insert them into the grooves that are there, then you place another circular section over the top of the other one and turn slightly to lightly grip the wick - you then have to hold those sections and screw a knurled cap on that holds everything together, then I trim the wicks to the edge of the knurled cap and flatten it out. It sounds more complex than it is in practice but does take time to get used to how it goes together/works, but my Mrs had no issues wicking it herself - once you get it down pat it'll wick bloody concrete and never leaks a drop. I remain convinced it'll wick 100%vg ,never tried but it got a 90%vg liquid through it by opening the wick slots slightly more than usual - my Mrs ADV is 73%vg as I'm a lazy bugger and don't bother with pg apart from nic/flavouring, absolutely no bother. Wee touch tighter on the wick ring and it ran my 50/50 Manabush lovely. Worked great in TC too. It's a wee bit thirsty but that's why the flavour is so good
It was only replaced as she wanted something that top filled and I had moved totally to RDAs.
And that's about as warts an all as it gets! It's no doubt been superseded, but it remains an absolute classic RTA.
Let me strip/clean/check it over and I'll stick a sales post up tomorrow, and tag you for first refusal
Edit just checked the price of a new one, only £18 - cover the postage and you can have it gratis, you're a good egg DV and it's sitting doing feck all anyway. Would rather someone gets the use of it and enjoy it.
