HCIGAR Hammer - Unimpressed

[gords1001]

I'll see how I get on.....the dual coil kayfun build wasn't all that bad......

I've even got some custard and irish cream steeping to try it with.....

Hi All

So Been vaping on the Vamo V5 and Protanks for a while and ventured into the RBA world with an RSST.

Couldn't get it to perform well so went with a Mod, Namely the HCIGAR Hammer

It looks great, feels great but performance wise, my Vamo is knocking it out the ballpark, and Now my RSST performs ok on the Vamo but crap in the HCigar

So question

Does anyone who has the hammer experience poor performance?

i know @Mawsley has one and loves it, but i'm left feeling disheartened with it

Suggestions anyone?

Just a thought!!! I've got the FT version so I don't know if it's the same as the H Cigar one, but mine was pretty weak until I took the Firing button apart and stretched the spring a bit!!! I don't think it was making a good connection until I did this and now it hits well!!!

The stock spring was a pos. Made my own using .32 kantal. Works a charm now

Nice One!!! Glad you sorted it, It's a Heavy Little Bastard isn't it!!!

It is weighty but in a good way. Hopefully once I get my new torchy batts and fix my wicking problem I'll really enjoy the hamner

Yeah i've had to order some flat top batteries as I didn't read the bit on the site which recommended using them!!!

Yeeeeeeeehheesssssssssssss

FINALLY!!!!

So I gave up on the 18350 Batts and chucked in a Torchy 18650.

coil wise on my RSST, I did 4 wraps, dual coil of .25 Kanthal which came out at 0.7ohms and used a SS mesh hybrid wick (silica inside) took the fill plug out and now it vapes a dream, really strong throat hit (nice) my only qualm is that unless you hold it like a pipe it looks like your flipping your middle finger to people. Other than that It's great.

Next, i'm gonna try and drill the air hole out somehow and make it a monster!

Still, as I'm not overly keen on the feel now as in 18350 mode, I might have to treat myself to a Nemesis or something

but still, loving it!!! thanks for all your help guys

Huh just found there's a locking ring below the firing button . . . . . Nice

I got the hammer clone from fasttech and i found that if you switch the battery cap for one from a fasttech Chi You clone the voltage drop is smashed and it hits really hard. (the chi firing switch works on it too)
