Clone MTL Bridges - Which Is Best?

[ZenAnarchi]

Lol okay

1, the helix on the psych is just aesthetic, there are two different chimneys with different inner diameters the design just helps you to recognise which is which. As a whole the bridge performs similar to the mobb mini.

2, the pioneer insider was my favorite bridge for a long time, it's now a consistent second best in every category. The chamber is a lot more reduced than you might expect too.

3, the ether strikes me as the kind of bridge that would do best in rdl because of the wick channels but the mtl performance is better than decent if you get your wicking right.

4, the two panda ones are bridg'd v2 (black) and bridg'd omega clone (ss) they are imo the best "do it all" bridges, mostly because of the simplicity of their design, they rely on their machining quality to justify the high price but its worth it imo. Although getting hold of authentics is very difficult.

1) Going to avoid the Psyclone, the smallest pin it comes with is a 1.2mm, I was curious
2) Without a doubt, I’m going to eventually pick up a Pioneer! I love my dotrba, never leaks, great flavor, and the 0.8mm is almost too small
3) Even though I got them dirt cheap, I have never been quite happy with my Ether rtas, despite everyone saying they were a must have. They sit on the display waiting for me to try rdl again, as I never did get them to wick properly in mtl with my usual 65/35 juice. Iow, I suspect you’re dead on with your assumption.
4) Don’t know squat about the omega, but I have seen some good reviews about the bridg’d. Even several that claim it’s their best mtl… The only thing that’s stopping me is that both my go-to stores in China don’t have the Sxk version. It is exactly that machining quality that makes them work well, so I’m skeptical of the cheap clones. And it doesn’t come with the mtl chimney like V1.

Do you, by chance, own a Link’d? I’m very curious as the Sxk clone is on sale at provapes. I like that it comes with a mtl chimney and also the gravity wicking.

Had the Link'd, leaked like a bugger.

I know this is a clone thread, but the Hazard is a great choice (bottom left on @Phrasing's line up).

It's not that expensive considering you get a bridge and a RTA that takes other bridges. It works wonderfully along with being an absolute doddle to build on too. I'm not sure what the smallest pin is though as I like my MTL quite loose so just went with the biggest pin and left the others in the box.

Whereas I agree that it’s worth considering, as both the price and functionality are pretty good, there are a few things that bother me… Firstly, I really don’t like the look of the tank. Secondly, and much to my irritation, the size of the airflow pins isn’t even listed on Dovpo’s website! Lastly, it’s pretty obvious to me that the rba is designed for rdl/dl and not for mtl. That doesn’t mean it’s not good at mtl, it’s just hard to say. But thanks for the suggestion!

Argh! Was it the wicking that was impossible? Poor design? Or was it one of those half-tank emptying buggers? Please elaborate, if you will…

The air pins that come with the Hazard are: 1mm, 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm and 3mm.

I don't nor have I tried the link'd. the design never appealed to me enough to buy one.

I've used the ceó and the qbix though which both wick similarly from the top, it's a bit of a pain to wick that way till you get it down and imo I'd rather have a more traditional style. Wick from the side type of rba.

I can't remember the size of the hazard pin but I know I've always used the smallest one. The tank is the main selling point for it though, for me at least, using bridges on a 510 mod is really good.

Come to think of it the qbix has a 0.8mm pin and is usually very cheap, I think I got mine new for £20

Hmmm, thanks! Was going to do a round on YouTube to find out. May still do one, maybe there’s one or two reviewers that try it with the smallest mtl pin (and actually like mtl).

You'd struggle to RDL/DL it... even a 2.5mm I.D. coil is really pushing it for space.

However, lots of other options if it's not for you

I'd recommend Jim Vv, he's reviewed most of the stuff being talked about in this thread... albeit authentics.

Looks like there's a new Cloud... off to watch it now

Thought about the Qbix, but I truly can’t find it anywhere (of course anywhere that will ship to Norway). Sold out…
