Yea that guy in the video don’t know what he’s talking about. We had this discussion on another forum. It doesn’t have a juice control you just tighten it down and that’s where it is. If you lossened it up it would just leak. That guy in the video isn’t the sharpest crayon in the box.
Good to know. Thanks

LoL it’s no problem ...I don’t like rushing my reviews out anyway youre all good gonna get to know it a little first, find it’s quirks and what not then I’ll start comparing so bare with me on this one it’ll be about a month I reckon.

Build space is actually pretty good ya know I’m impressed with the size of the coil I just got in it bet the draws gonna be bloody tight now though haha

If it does, it’s an abnormal one because you can’t adjust it once the whole tank is assembled. So I don’t really see the point of it
I have 4 that adjust like the guy from Asmodus shows in the vid.
But this is OT to this thread.

It will move after it's assembled.
I haven't had it leak, but I just leave it fully open .
You and me got different Zesthias then because mine doesn’t have jfc, it just has a slot that the juice can go through to get to the coil.

It really doesn’t, what the Asmodus guy said & showed on video is bogus.
The guy from the video is in this thread still trying to convince people the Zesthia has JFC, lol. He has the only four Zesthia’s made with jfc. They are limited editions, worth hundreds. I’m just waiting for them to pop up on the for sale section so I can get my hands on one.

I tried after I watched the Asmodus vid when I first got the Zesthia & unless I’m doing something totally wrong I don’t see any JFC. There’s no way to turn/twist so that you can control the jf.

What you do is slightly loosen the tank section.
You don't want to go too far, or it will come apart.
It's not the best JFC implementation, which is why I just tighten and leave it open.

That’s the same conclusion I reached, I figured I must be doing something wrong because the guy on the video, employed by Asmodus I believe said it had jfc. After some more investigation I reached the conclusion the man on the video is a dumbass. He was just unscrewing it. You’d think he’d look into that before making a video but I guess not. To keep this thread on track, how bout that Intake RTA. I like the looks of it and I don’t think it has a jfc either.

from the vape mail thread:

Update on the Augvape Intake.
I really like this RTA, better than any RTA I have tried.
The flavor is great and it flat does not leak! Not even a little bit.
I have noticed that after I refill it I get a little spit back for two or three hits.

Didn't even know this thread was here.

I got mine 2 days ago and I like it a lot, it has became my favorite RTA for sure.
It does not have JFC but as far as flavor I would put it right up there with the Serpent SMM if not better.

I don't care for the bubble tank myself, I'm just using the straight glass.

The only con I can give it (and it's probably user error) is that when I fill it I away get spit back for the first few hits. After that it Smooths right out. I have some ideas I'm going to try but open to suggestions.

Maybe try not filling up above the glass gadget ...experienced this same thing on every single top airflow so far that always seems to help a little ...this ones the same although even filling it to the brim find it goes always after three or so pulls anyway like you say

I’ve experienced the same, so I just filled slightly under the brim to eliminate any spit back. I would like to get some suggestions as to what would you recommend on what coils would be best, since I’m not building yet and just using pre made coils. So far I’ve used fused Clapton’s and just recently used a Hive coil just because it was different To give it a try. It really heats up fast and noticed if I take a 2-3 sec draw I get a burnt taste causing a irritated throat hit. So I lowered my wattage down from 50 to around 35 and it seemed to be better.

After I’m done with this coil going to use a flapton myself (single 25g flat wire) 38g wrap all SS316L, 6 or 7 wraps ...same build I’ve used on a lot of the single coil top airflows to bench test them

Works great in and out of TC especially if you space the wraps a tiny bit

Gonna try a 3mm ID next but to be honest I’m really digging this dragon 3.5mm ID I’m getting zero spit back after that initial refill and thats unusual for twisted coils

After that I’ll gauge where to go next staple, tri-core something or other if at all it needs it

If you are in the US AVS, Advanced Vape Supply, has great wire and prebuilt coils. My particular favorites are the tri core ,quad core, staggered, aliens. The framed staples are great too but the resistance comes in a bit low. Their wire is all ss 316l or ss 430. Code AVS will get you 20% off.

If they are SS can you still run in wattage mode or run in TC. I really know nothing about TC mode as I run in wattage mode only. I’m still learning as I just moved over into the RTA realm to learn more and to experience more flavor at the same time gain experience in learning about building as well.

Yeah SS can be used in either just go careful when dry burning SS checking for hot spots a gentle glow only is all you need otherwise you notice it start oxidising the metal

....Same goes for cleaning them too

It’s not as forgiving when glowing as nichrome or kanthal wire but neither of these are really suitable for TC their resistance changes very little when heated

You can use ss in power and tc both. The 316l does both very well, the 430 does better in tc imo. Tried it in power mode and wasn't as happy with it as I was using the 316l. I always order the 316l. Kidney Puncher carries some nice Ni80 coils if you want to try some different wires. NiChrome is used in power mode; the resistance comes in a bit higher than ss a bit lower than kanthal.

Meh, those are all child's play. You need to go with the gargoyle hoof coil. Here's a video of you are not familiar...
