Review The Freakshow

A bit of a fuck about trying to get the coils over the air intake. I fucked two screws up when tightening down on the wire. The allen key just stripped the hexagon out of the grub screw. Had to use the spare ones that came with it. (I'm a bit heavy handed, and I was using 0.8mm wire, and always like to make sure it is screwed down good) I'm going to buy some proper 3mm grubs screws, that are harder. Not a lot of access to the well when wicked. You have to drip your juice over the screws. But. Flavour and cloud wise it is excellent.

With some decent grub screws, it's a winner.

How do you rate it against other RDAs you have?

A difficult one this. Because of the air flow system, it's in a league of it's own. So I can't really compare it to my other RDA's. Just ordered some hard grub screws for it. Only just coiled it tonight. Give me a few days with it.

The grub screw/allen key thing has pissed me off, but I can sort that out when my grub screws arrive.

Where do you source grub screws from? Do you send them the fucked up ones for matching?
While I'm firing questions ... where can I get some replacement insulators for drippers ... not for this atty in particular.

Any good engineers supplies shop will sell grub screws. I measured mine myself. Callipers and thread gauges. If you cannot measure them, just take them to a supply shop and they should be able tell what they are.
Haven't got a clue where you can get insulators from.

Excellent RDA, loving it. Haven't had issues with the grub screws as yet, only with overdripping - it's a great performer.

Have the Carbon Freakshow now too ... from evolutionvaping. Comes in a presentation tin instead of a cardboard box; spare o-rings, grub screws and Allen key as before.
Three top caps with Freakshow logo etching - choice of black, stainless or copper; extra airhole in the sleeve gives you a single coil option; stainless sleeve is now brass with a logoless carbon fibre effect wrap; the base appears to be identical.
