That Dang HAAR RTA

I know, understand and appreciate the controversy behind this RTA. With that said, the controversy ain’t my controversy and I really like this thing. The HAAR RTA is fiddly yes, intricate yes, but honestly easier thank ya think and ultimately a really stellar restricted lung IMO.

Apart from what I said in the video, I wanted to mention that this HAAR RTA does also suffer from the “COIL TURD” syndrome as I call it. An RDA for Vaping always has little speckles of liquid around the afc area, this RTA kinda does the same thing. With so many seams and parts connecting on the exterior, tiny surprise liquid drops are inevitable. Still worth it for the vape IMO. Dig this HAAR RTA, dig this HAAR RTA quite a bit.

Twisted Messes Joins Our Build ‘n Chill – Alien Coil FAIL – Tripod RTA THO

Let’s give a warm welcome to the one and only legendary Twisted Messes ( Kent ). He has probably got more time on this YouTube than anyone else I can think of. We have been international travel buds for years and years and years. I’m honored to be able to call Kent a close friend. Kent was one of the OG coil builders back in the day, he along with a handful of others pushed coil building to RIDICULOUS new places.

Voltrove V2 | 30mm RTA | BANGER

This is a Banger there is no other way to put it. I realized mine is the “limited edition” version, so the normal version may not have both decks and both chimney pieces. The vape from this is great on every level IMO. I’ve run this way open and closed down to one single hole and it’s great no matter what.

Excellent fit and finish, excellent machining. Big RTA fans and cloud-chasers this is for you.

Build ‘n Chill – Aliens Part 2! – SUCCESS! – HAAR RTA

BUILD ‘n CHILL YEAH!! Here we go, everyone! We are going to try Aliens again today. Triple 28g core / 38g alien over it, All TMNI80. Got to spend some time this weekend getting some tips and help from a few YOYOY Patrons. Feeling good about today. Assuming I’ll fail again, but really hoping I don’t. I also got a building care package from my sponsor Twisted Messes. So that might help out today too!! xxz

If we can get enough Alien wire for a coil, we are going to put it in the HAAR RTA this afternoon. Got this as a gift from Mr. Jonathan K! really excited to try this RTA out. Even if we can’t get any useable Alien wire, I’m still going to do some claptons for this RTA. Gate is open, come on in.

TwistedMesses is my new wire sponsor, so all the wire being used today is Twisted Messes NI80.

Vapor Giant Kronos 2S | 2021 RTA

I don’t often get to review “cool” RE: Non-China stuff so much anymore, so forgive me for taking this Kronos 2S video so long. I don’t want to condense down what I said in the video but the TLDR of this is: It’s awesome, completely. The Kronos 2S does MTL really well and very tight, it also does restricted lung very well and very restricted. The construction and machining are pretty tip-top.

Even though it’s been a few years, this still feels like a Vapor Giant product to me. Crazy easy to build, mostly simple to wick. It’s a really smart design IMO.

ReloadVapor – Reload S RTA

Despite the wonky deck, it’s hard not to love this RTA. The ReloadVapor Reload S RTA is kind of a single-coil banger. Top-notch quality, top-notch fit and finish. Goes from too-open-for-me airflow, down to a delightful restricted lung. The flavor is solid, crackles are popping.

Dragging hard with the AFC full open does create a sharp feeling, another reason why I like this restricted.

The Kayfun Lite Plus (2020 / 2021)

Every Kayfun ever has gotten a video, so why not the newest one? it’s banger, no way around it. The Kayfun RTA’s are popular for a reason, they are great vapes. Still with the bottom fill for some reason, but literally everything else is pretty much flawless. The airflow, the flavor, all beautiful.

The AFC Pin is a hair fiddly and small sometimes, but it’s a set-it-and-forget-it thing.

It’s a GROGAN STREAM! – He has a Troll x RTA – I Have a VOLTROVE 30mm

Super random Tuesday Build and Chill? Yeah, absolutely! There is actually a really funny story about why this stream exists. But who cares? Bogan is here! He brought his new Troll X Rta with him. I was supposed to have one here, but I don’t. We both have the OG Troll RTA to put new builds in and vape. I might also build that Trilogy 30mm RTA because I want to and you can’t stop me.

Anyway, come chill with us while we goof off and build and have a beer. Since Sam is here I might even have TWO!!

UPDATE: Welcome to the official longest stream on this youtube. Bogan made me do it.

Trying To Build Some Aliens Today!! Vapor Giant KRONOS 2S!

BUILD ‘n CHILL YEAH!! Here we go, everyone. Last week we attempted some fused claptons and they turned out pretty rad. I’ve been practicing and I’m trying to build some aliens today!! Chances of failure are high, but I’m not going to let that stop me. Someone much smarter than me once said “If you’re not willing to look like a foolish beginner, then you don’t get to become a skilled master.”

After spending basically 5 years focusing on basically nothing but vape news and advocacy, it’s awesome going back and learning all the cool stuff I missed out on like building and DIY. I’m here to show you anyone can do this. Try, fail, try, fail, try, fail…until I get it.
