I’ve just watched this. Due to the fact pioneer parts are impossible to get , I’m going to give the alberich 2 a go. Your videos are very informative. Thanks. Don’t stop.
Superb review Nathan, I was also sent a sample and agree with everything you said. Needless to say I put an order in to stock them which was sent to me yesterday so they should arrive early next week. So glad to see you donating your precious time to do reviews, thanks for everything you do.
Thanks Mark. Shame I didn’t know you would stock them otherwise I would have mentioned it in the review. Anyway now it is mentioned😊it is a worthy MTL RTA to stock,besides the quality of the RTA itself the price is right as well. Wishing you success
Excellent done review Mr Nathan. This one seems like the perfect MTL rta for a side by side mod and an excellent all day all-rounder. Also checks all the boxes for me, hassle free maintenance, perfect wicking, silent side airflow, strong throat hit, big capacity. Purchased immediately after watching the review. I'm pretty sure the V2 will put my V1 in the drawer. Thank you very much for your time making those fantastic reviews.
I love your reviews very much and I love your dedication to convey information honestly and I trust your suggestions very much, I always watch your reviews with passion from the first minute to the end, thank you very much for your efforts
Great Review Nathan. I'm a little late watching this as I just got back from Dominican Rep... yea it does look a great MTL RTA. As for calling it an Alberich II which is completely different from the first one, with a different coil insert style, different wicking system and top airflow. Maybe they could of called it something different, but this is just my opinion. Saying that it does look like a fantastic looking RTA, maybe the better one I have seen to come out this year so far. I am looking into purchasing it. Great Work.
Thanks Johan. The reason they called it V2 in my opinion as V1 is a very good MTL so although V2 is completely different in many ways they are riding on the success of the Alberich V1. To be honest it is a proper upgrade and not just a few meaningless touches like other manufacturers seem to do to promote sales, so upgraded V2 is really the truthful meaning of the word “Upgrade”
Nice review Nathan! 👍As always, I appreciate the technical explanation of the airflow and juiceflow differences -you always give me enough technical information to make an informed decision! Greatly appreciated fella.
You were wondering about what more they can do with mtl rtas and here you have one with quite a different and interesting design with the top airflow and inner chimney. Great review as ever Nathan. Take care.
I cant wait to see your reaction to our NEO (oil) Nathan.. You are going to love it (Cinnamon, Garlic, Clove, Hair Oil)... the company profile is almost done😁
Another great review Nathan! I have this tank and one negative thing I found is when filling from the top it can flood the deck, then the liquid finds its way into the chimney and then your mouth. I ended up just unscrewing it and filling from the bottom. Perhaps a more tightly packed wick would help but that may cause other problems.
Thanks. Your way as a bottom feeder is a good solution. I don’t moisten the cotton at all when inserted fresh and allow gravity to do the job for 10 minutes. Also I don’t change my cotton or add liquid unless my tank is nearly empty.
Brilliant review my dear Nathan i enjoy your full MTL reviews, it is so evident you enjoy reviewing your daily vape style and we all benefit. I will order this one as soon it is available. Thanks Nathan. Regards Danial
Thanks Nathan, another thorough and genuine review 👏🏻 Hard to resist this rta, quality at a brilliant price 👍🏻 And no leaks! But I hope the airflow isn’t spongy 🙏🏻
Good to see you again Nathan, always a pleasure to watch your very informative reviews. You took your time in explaining everything about this marvellous MTL RTA - especially the changing of the airflow pins as well as your wicking tips. I am intrigued to try this sometime soon. You are a very helpful and patient reviewer. Many thanks and much appreciated.👍
Great review, I am going to try and get one of these. I don't see many vape shops here ordering in very much in the current climate but I can source one on line it seems. Thanks for the review.
I pre-ordered this one on ecigone. Thanks for your usual in-depth review so i know all about using it when it arrives. Cheers Nathan 👍 Btw I also liked Vapefly Alberich V2 presentation video😊
Thanks for the review. I finally got around to trying Drakes Virginia and Kentucky. I like them both. I have some La Tabaccaria Florence Extra Dry for pod on order; the Post Office will deliver on Monday.
Looks decent fella. I like the fact you get two glass tubes as well. Seems these would stack up well against a lot of the high end attires out there. Great review as always.
I got mine today. And with with all do respect, I don't think you can compare v1 and 2. V 2 is so much better and so much different. I'm impressed with the Italian cigar. Looking forward testing it with other tobacco
@huxxam. I did say in the review it is more then just an upgraded version it is really a complete different design and better flavour & airflow. The only component that is similar in both versions is the quarter twist top cap and somewhat similar exterior look. Anyway enjoy it.
Nice review, I really enjoyed it. Funny enough I'm trying for the time today Drakes Virginia on the V1 of this tank. I'm starting to move more towards NET's lately on my mtl setups.
@Digital Gold Thanks. NET's is the only way for me. I think in time you might feel the same. Lately i do not vape anything but NET's even the 30min evening fruit vape is no longer appealing to me.
Thank you NET vaper i have been watting for your review an now i shell be ordering one.Thank you for your time for all the hard work you do.I will let you no how i get on
I wasn't going to get the alberich 2, but now I'm not so sure anymore 😅 but I'm not surprised it's good after watching this. If you think about it, the chimney is very chariot like, sharp edges, simple and tight.
Good afternoon, thanks for the review. A couple of weeks ago I received the SXK BY-kA V.9 Style MTL RTA. I think it has a very good flavor and excellent mechanics. You have to play a bit with the liquid regulation because it drains a lot, but when you understand the atomizer you can enjoy a quiet and quality vape. The puff is super quiet and smooth, without any kind of turbulence. The set-up is easy and the refilling of the tank is very comfortable. I don't know if anyone has already done it, but if not, I recommend you try it if you have the opportunity. I send you a greeting and I encourage you to continue with your channel. Jaume from Mallorca
Hi Nathan, Thank you very much for your answer. I had seen your review about the air pins on your By-Ka SE and I totally agree with you. Right now the By-Ka V.9 is one of my favorite atomizers. A big hug and go ahead with your channel.
Thanks Chris. If you are happy with your current vape setup that is perfect. The price of the Alberich V2 is budgeted enough not to feel guilty if you decide to take a punt on this one😊
Very glad to see this review! Keypoints: Does it suffer from vaccuum lock since it's top airflow? And is the flavor rich? How does it compare to the Bishop because the chimneys look quite alike
Thanks Ali. I specifically mentioned the Bishop that it is a bit sharper more like the Classic & Pioneer. i would say it will give the Bishop a run for it's money in terms of flavour just in a bit of sharper way & yes it does deliver a full & rich flavour. I did not experience any vacuum issues when adding liquid. I think you would like it Ali 😊
@@netvaper i like it as a whole to be honest. You had it disassembled before you screwed it back on after building, but if I want to rewick do I have to disassemble or just unscrew the deck? My final question would be, could you test it with a 3mm 26ga wire?
@@Skywalker37ful to change the wick just unscrew the deck holding the tank upside down of course then align the the hole of the inner chimney with the airflow insert that should enable you to press down the chimney on the deck and tighten fully. 3mm ID coil would fit no problem
@@Skywalker37fulI know this question is old but just in case anyone needs to know. My attempt with a 3mm ID coil resulted in a short because there is very little room above the coil. It's probably possible but it's going to be tight.
Nice mtl review Nathan. The only true mtl reviewer!!!! I need your advise. Is there any better choice for low-mid range mtl than labs in 2022-2023? Im searching the silence(most important) and the throat hit. I dont really care about flavor as i do only vg/pg base. im very happy with the bishop but i need a second rta for my rotation. Thanks in advance
Thanks Babis. The Alberich V2 is certainly a worthy candidate. Btw don’t you need some flavour tobacco or anything for that matter in your vape. VG /PG alone must be tasteless.
@@netvaper Sometimes I add some drops of nuttaco (Atmos lab) in order to refresh my routine. It's a matter of habit. After so many flavors I have tasted I got bored of them. Also standalone base is always an all-arounder for daily basis :)
First of all i wanna thank you for your efforts . I really need your opinion which one is better in flavor alberich v2 or bishop or glaz mini Just choose one
Amazing review sir. Which rta you advice me to buy. Alberich 2 or labs rta? Flavor and throat hit and draw + am planning to use it as rdl and mtl sometimes
I would have advised the Alberich V2 but I know some have flooding issues especially when re filling the tank. If you bottom fill it that issue would not be a problem. It is worth to figure it out as the flavour on the Alberich is awesome
I don’t use the Fev V4.5 nowadays I prefer the VS Duel but in general terms the Fev produces better flavour certainly the VS does. That said the Alberich V2 if wicked correctly is very close on flavour for the fraction of the price (Fev original)
Thank you for the review. The v1 wasn't my cup of tea. The 1.3 wasn't right at Al and the flavours wasn't good at al. The whole experience was just not good. I'm concern about the top air flow. I had the intake and other top air flow tanks and I want sure if the draw was right. But I'm tempted to try the v2. I think by retuning to the different air flow is very cleaver. And as you know when you find the right pin, it stays there for ever. Would you update os with the smokey tobacco? The only tank for me that give you the whole and right experience for mata fina is just gus mod MENELAUS. You must try it and the chorus. Nu the way, millinium rta is a killer when it comes to Virginia. My 2 cents. ✌️
Thanks Hussam. I am vaping a new Italian Latakia blend on it while i am replying to you that i already recorded my review (will be published in coming weeks) and it taste nearly as good as the 4.51 and that is amazing😊
im not up to that level yet, but i was curious if it will fit on that abyss you reviewed a while back. seems like a nice little setup for home right there
Hey Nathan, Thanks so much for your great review. Will pre-order it as well. What would be your recommendation if you don't want to use an RTA. My wife doesn't want to do wick. She doesn't like the caliburns though. Is there any advice?
@@netvaper Thx a lot Nathan! So do the Innokin Coils a better job than for example aspire Nautilus coils?When she asked me for an MTL vape without being a MTL RTA, aspire's Nautilus was the first in my mind.
@@niklasbepunkt96 yes in my opinion. Nautilus coils are old school whiles the Mesh Duo prime by Innokin & TMD coils 0.8ohm Mesh by BP Mods are next generation technology. They produce better flavour and last much longer
sir you always speak and say the same words on every tank .. on the first version of the alberich you said it was a perfect tank air flow is perfect and ticks all the boxes and now you are mentioning problems in air flow and difficulty in wicking >> i really do like your videos but please mention the bad and good on every tank because when i bought the alberich i bought it because of your review and acually i liked it but the exact same point is the leakage and air flow isnt smooth .. good luck sir and sorry if my words disturbed you
@Karim bekhet. It is nature of things that over time you discover good or bad issues with every subject including in your own marriage😊 it doesn’t mean that your initial thoughts were wrong,it’s just that time allowed you to discovered additional point of view but learned how to deal with it focusing on the many good points. Alberich V1 is still very much enjoyed by me on a regular basis as I learned how to operate it the right way,so when V2 came out I emphasised the issues with V1 that they addressed with V2. Btw that is the whole concept of a V2 if V1 was perfect no need for a V2 is there😊If I would need to use a RTA for months to discover any issues it might develop, my reviews would always be on old stock and with no interest to any vaper looking to upgrade or buy 1st time. Anyway I hope it make sense to you Karim. Have a nice weekend
Yes just hold the RTA upside-down & unscrew the deck. Make sure the glass remains in its place held by the 0 ring. After re-wick align the airflow wall into the associated groove in the chamber it should fall in to place and tighten the deck
I bought the Alberich 2. I find the airflow to be very open all the time, no matter what insert I use. I have made sure the inner chimney is plugged in tight but I am not winning. Has anyone has this issue?
@@netvaper, Thank you for your reply and advice. I have checked the airflow, made sure the o-ring is not damaged and the coil aligns perfect with the air pin. I had a look at a couple of UA-cam video's, including yours, and you seem to struggle a bit more than I do to push the inner chimney in to the outer bell. If I put the inner chimney on, after wicking it, and then take a drag from the inner chimney only, I get a bit more restriction but if I move it around the air opens up massively. I'm not sure if it is not held nice and tight when plugged in or if something is bent.
The Arcana is on higher league, although not by a big margin so price wise the Alberich V2 makes more sense for everyday vaping. That said the Arcana is a superb MTL
@netvaper Right on, well I have a Labs rta for mtl now. Which is excellent, but just not a fan of the PC tank and figured they might would have a glass or stainless tank section eventually, which never happened. Don't really care how classy or costly things are, care more about.. flavor, ease of use, can change wick and air without emptying, if there's any issues..gurgling, leak, vaccuum lock, etc. I chain vape a lot so important that something can keep up well.
Thank you very much Nathan for your informative review. I would like to ask you something specific. Which of your rta's you use to vape cigar nets? I usually vape them in Sputnik, kayfun prime or dvarw. Also the mata fina is very nice in fev4.5s+. But I am not sure if there is something else to go well with this type of net. Thank you in advance
Thanks Duca. Your list of RTA’s are perfect for Cigar NET’s and really are top of the line. I also use the Taifun GT one with mainly the Italian Cigar NET by La Tabaccheria. As of late I use the Alberich V2 although a mid budget it really does well with a verity of blends including Cigar. The 4.51 is also a top contender. The Classic by steam crave would also surprise you.
Hi Teo. Depends where you live. In the UK you can find on 3 vendors. Naturevape La Tabaccheria. Juice Cabin & Drakes. In Europe there are many Italian vendors
Yes you are not using enough cotton so it is getting over saturated and the excess liquid is drawn upwards. make sure the cotton is cut so it reaches the deck bit not folded and thick enough to fill the wicking channels fully from side to side.
@Hood House. Indeed a good cigar or pipe blend is very desirable but vaping good quality tobacco liquids on a good quality MTL is the closest to the real thing possible and that will do for me majorly of the time. Give it a try what can you loose maximum you carry on smoking
I love watching your videos and after seeing this one i decided to buy myself an Alberich II deck. I love the taste, how it looks but i'm having some problems each time when i fill the tank with liquid it gargels. The liquid somehow overfill the airflow chamber and stops the air mooving freelly to the coil. It's my first RTA and i vatched your videos and i really don't know what am i doing wrong. Please if you don't mind share some infos and help me to do it right because this starts to be frustrating eqperience 🫤 Thanks in advance.
Hi Marko. The issue you described is a vacuum break when adding liquid to half full tank, the downward pressure forces the existing liquid to go to the nearest exit the airflow causing gurgling when inhaling. The solution is twofold. First make sure you insert enough cotton to fill the entire wicking channels on either side with a length of cotton that touches the deck on the base so any excess liquid is absorbed by the wick. Also never over moisten the dry cotton especially the coil as the gravity fed juice flow work very officially. Next add liquid very gently and don’t overfill. When adding liquid to the tank before securing the top cap, turn the tank upside down ( don’t worry about spillage as the membrane would hold liquid in the tank) and secure the top cap in that position and hold upside down for a few seconds longer then hold it upright and vape. That should solve the problem of gurgling when adding liquid to half full tank. You might still experience some light gurgling but will disappear after a few inhales.
@@netvaper first of all want to thank you for a fast reply, much appreciate. Yes, i watched both videos about Alberich II and i did the same things that you did, and not only once but several times and each time same result, a negative one. I vatched other youtube videos aswell and just can't imagine that the device can be so "tricky" to install and to vape. I played with the coil, with the distance between the coil and airflow hole, moved it higher, lower, played with amount of cotton and allways the same......i have this tank for a feew days and unfortunatelly still can not enjoy in the full potential from the device. 🫤
Hi Marko. I since discovered another method. When you insert the cotton and cut it to the right length Do Not moisten the cotton or coil at all. Just tuck in the cotton ends gently into the wicking channels and leave them totally dry then screw back the deck and allow 10min sucking the mouthpiece a few times without firing. After 10min you can vape as usual as the gravity fed juice flow would moisten the cotton & coil perfectly without any flooding or gurgling.
@@netvaperthank you for your reply, it's very kind of you....what ever i do the result is the same, i managed to find the right amount of cotton but each time when filling liquid, slowly, gentle or quickly by pressing liquid bottle i create pressure in tank which presses the liquid in tank in the chamber wher the airflow pin is and the darn thing starts to gurgling again. The thing that i did is i dismanteled the transparent rubber gasket on the filling holes on the top of the atomizer to stop creating pressure in the tank while liquid filling. I did this feew days ago and till now i had no issues, i hope that this is a permanent solution. Beside Alberich II i ordered a replica FEV V4.5 S and i'm thinking to buy myself a Arcana 22 or Chariot atomizer from Arcana Mods. Do you have any experience with Arcana Mods atomizers, can you describe shortly which one is better, which one has a better or stronger lung hit? Thank you again, best regards from Germany 👋
@@holjeholjevac Please let me know if removing the membrane off the liquid ports has solved your gurgling issue. I reviewed the Arcana 22 link here. ua-cam.com/video/e7Xiz4xVUj0/v-deo.htmlsi=oOLqJ4XX7uHX389k It is very good quality MTL RTA
Thank you Nathan.Sounds very good.And hey,tomorrow i'll get my second Order from Tabacchificio🍻👍
Thanks Stephan. Wow, exciting isn't it to try a new Italian NET 😊 enjoy it
Thanks for the review, the design of the air pin with a round head is very clever, avoiding annoying noise like Kuma RTA
Indeed Leonard thanks for pointing that out

If your ever selling your dvarw mtl let me know
@@roberttait6704 will do if / when relevant😊
Thanks Nathan got to say thanks to you I've switched back to mtl
Great video
Thanks Angelo
u should test the millenium rta..keep up the good work
Maybe 🤔
Nice mtl review Nathan. The only true mtl reviewer!!!! I need your advise. Is there any better choice for low-mid range mtl than labs in 2022-2023? Im searching the silence(most important) and the throat hit. I dont really care about flavor as i do only vg/pg base. im very happy with the bishop but i need a second rta for my rotation. Thanks in advance
Thanks Babis. The Alberich V2 is certainly a worthy candidate. Btw don’t you need some flavour tobacco or anything for that matter in your vape. VG /PG alone must be tasteless.
@@netvaper Sometimes I add some drops of nuttaco (Atmos lab) in order to refresh my routine. It's a matter of habit. After so many flavors I have tasted I got bored of them. Also standalone base is always an all-arounder for daily basis :)
If it works for you. Enjoy 😊
If it possible, please make a review on Caiman v.5 RDA (clone)
I am a MTL vaper really Nick not into RDA's on a daily basis, thanks for your suggestion though
First of all i wanna thank you for your efforts .
I really need your opinion which one is better in flavor alberich v2 or bishop or glaz mini
Just choose one
Alberich V2 Mohamed
Amazing review sir. Which rta you advice me to buy. Alberich 2 or labs rta? Flavor and throat hit and draw + am planning to use it as rdl and mtl sometimes
I would have advised the Alberich V2 but I know some have flooding issues especially when re filling the tank. If you bottom fill it that issue would not be a problem. It is worth to figure it out as the flavour on the Alberich is awesome
Hello! Nice review. Thank you. Much better then Artemis?
Unless you don’t mind reverse threading the flavour of the Artemis is very good
The Alberich V2 or the Fev V4.5S+ flavor wise?
Thanks for the review 😊
I don’t use the Fev V4.5 nowadays I prefer the VS Duel but in general terms the Fev produces better flavour certainly the VS does. That said the Alberich V2 if wicked correctly is very close on flavour for the fraction of the price (Fev original)
Thank you for the review.
The v1 wasn't my cup of tea. The 1.3 wasn't right at Al and the flavours wasn't good at al.
The whole experience was just not good.
I'm concern about the top air flow. I had the intake and other top air flow tanks and I want sure if the draw was right.
But I'm tempted to try the v2. I think by retuning to the different air flow is very cleaver. And as you know when you find the right pin, it stays there for ever.
Would you update os with the smokey tobacco?
The only tank for me that give you the whole and right experience for mata fina is just gus mod MENELAUS. You must try it and the chorus.
Nu the way, millinium rta is a killer when it comes to Virginia. My 2 cents.
✌️
Thanks Hussam. I am vaping a new Italian Latakia blend on it while i am replying to you that i already recorded my review (will be published in coming weeks) and it taste nearly as good as the 4.51 and that is amazing😊
im not up to that level yet, but i was curious if it will fit on that abyss you reviewed a while back. seems like a nice little setup for home right there
@Turkey Doctor. Did I review the Abyss🤔 I don’t think I did
I thought you did. perhaps I'm mistaken
please review auguse era v3 nathan
Maybe 🤔
Hey Nathan,
Thanks so much for your great review. Will pre-order it as well. What would be your recommendation if you don't want to use an RTA. My wife doesn't want to do wick. She doesn't like the caliburns though. Is there any advice?
Hi Niklas. The Innokin cool fire Z60 is ideal starter kit with the Duo Prime 0.6ohm coil is perfect for your wife. I reviewed it back in March 2022
@@netvaper Thx a lot Nathan! So do the Innokin Coils a better job than for example aspire Nautilus coils?When she asked me for an MTL vape without being a MTL RTA, aspire's Nautilus was the first in my mind.
@@niklasbepunkt96 yes in my opinion. Nautilus coils are old school whiles the Mesh Duo prime by Innokin & TMD coils 0.8ohm Mesh by BP Mods are next generation technology. They produce better flavour and last much longer
Hi. Nathan Alberich2 or Berserker b3 which one is better ?
Alberich V2
Thank you for your opinion. I have already ordered. All good 4 you.
@@jarekr7775 enjoy it
Thanks for review.
Its better this one or berserker 3 ? I have ARES 2 but i want to try something new ;)
Thanks Jan. yes in my opinion it is better then the berserker V3. Btw the Ares V2 is a solid & dependable MTL
sir you always speak and say the same words on every tank .. on the first version of the alberich you said it was a perfect tank air flow is perfect and ticks all the boxes and now you are mentioning problems in air flow and difficulty in wicking >> i really do like your videos but please mention the bad and good on every tank because when i bought the alberich i bought it because of your review and acually i liked it but the exact same point is the leakage and air flow isnt smooth .. good luck sir and sorry if my words disturbed you
@Karim bekhet. It is nature of things that over time you discover good or bad issues with every subject including in your own marriage😊 it doesn’t mean that your initial thoughts were wrong,it’s just that time allowed you to discovered additional point of view but learned how to deal with it focusing on the many good points. Alberich V1 is still very much enjoyed by me on a regular basis as I learned how to operate it the right way,so when V2 came out I emphasised the issues with V1 that they addressed with V2. Btw that is the whole concept of a V2 if V1 was perfect no need for a V2 is there😊If I would need to use a RTA for months to discover any issues it might develop, my reviews would always be on old stock and with no interest to any vaper looking to upgrade or buy 1st time. Anyway I hope it make sense to you Karim. Have a nice weekend
nice review. can you change the wick if there is liquid in the tank?
Yes just hold the RTA upside-down & unscrew the deck. Make sure the glass remains in its place held by the 0 ring. After re-wick align the airflow wall into the associated groove in the chamber it should fall in to place and tighten the deck
@@netvaper thanks Nathan
Great review. Just a question. With the airflow the way it is, is it possible to get an rdl with the largest airflow pin. Thank you
Yes Aziz but fairly restricted RDL. It is more of a MTL to loos MTL
Thank you for the prompt reply. I will order one
What’s better from your point of view, is the tank kayfun x or tank flash e 4.5s and what is the best manufacturing version sxk or yftk
The Kayfun X. SXK in my opinion are nowadays the best 1:1 carbon copy makers.
I bought the Alberich 2. I find the airflow to be very open all the time, no matter what insert I use. I have made sure the inner chimney is plugged in tight but I am not winning. Has anyone has this issue?
Are you sure you installed the airflow pin the right way meaning facing the coil. Also make sure to lift the coil to to be parallel to the airflow
@@netvaper, Thank you for your reply and advice. I have checked the airflow, made sure the o-ring is not damaged and the coil aligns perfect with the air pin. I had a look at a couple of UA-cam video's, including yours, and you seem to struggle a bit more than I do to push the inner chimney in to the outer bell. If I put the inner chimney on, after wicking it, and then take a drag from the inner chimney only, I get a bit more restriction but if I move it around the air opens up massively. I'm not sure if it is not held nice and tight when plugged in or if something is bent.
Albirch v2 or labs rta? For net liquid
How is better?
Thanks.
They are both in the same league. It is down to price really as the labs price is near double
Nathan how do you compare this with 4.51 SXK
I would choose the 4.51 if I can only buy one. That said the Alberich V2 is really good
Hi Mr nathan ... Could you please tell me which of the albrich II & the aromamizer classic do you think is better
I would choose the Alberich V2 not because it is better as they are equally good but the Alberich is easier to maintain for daily use.
@@netvaper thanks very much for your reply .. i really appreciate it 😊
Deciding between this or the Arcana? Thoughts?
The Arcana is on higher league, although not by a big margin so price wise the Alberich V2 makes more sense for everyday vaping. That said the Arcana is a superb MTL
@netvaper Right on, well I have a Labs rta for mtl now. Which is excellent, but just not a fan of the PC tank and figured they might would have a glass or stainless tank section eventually, which never happened.
Don't really care how classy or costly things are, care more about.. flavor, ease of use, can change wick and air without emptying, if there's any issues..gurgling, leak, vaccuum lock, etc. I chain vape a lot so important that something can keep up well.
alberich 2 or bishop or ares 2?
on good borh TH & flavor
so confused 😢
Go for Alberich V2 for both strong throat hit & good flavour. The other 2 lack on TH
Thank you very much Nathan for your informative review. I would like to ask you something specific. Which of your rta's you use to vape cigar nets? I usually vape them in Sputnik, kayfun prime or dvarw. Also the mata fina is very nice in fev4.5s+. But I am not sure if there is something else to go well with this type of net. Thank you in advance
Thanks Duca. Your list of RTA’s are perfect for Cigar NET’s and really are top of the line. I also use the Taifun GT one with mainly the Italian Cigar NET by La Tabaccheria. As of late I use the Alberich V2 although a mid budget it really does well with a verity of blends including Cigar. The 4.51 is also a top contender. The Classic by steam crave would also surprise you.
Thank you Nathan. For everything that you do. Thank you for your precious time.
Sir,where i can buy perique liquid?
Hi Teo. Depends where you live. In the UK you can find on 3 vendors. Naturevape La Tabaccheria. Juice Cabin & Drakes. In Europe there are many Italian vendors
@@netvaper thank you sir
Does the glass fit 1 and 2?
No Mick
@@netvaper bugga could of been spares o well. Thanx for the reply i might grab one using pioneer atm with your coil tip vapes very nice. Thanks.
I am getting hot juice in my mouth while puffing...any advise pls...🙏
Yes you are not using enough cotton so it is getting over saturated and the excess liquid is drawn upwards. make sure the cotton is cut so it reaches the deck bit not folded and thick enough to fill the wicking channels fully from side to side.
Has this been resolved? I'm the same inner chimney just getting full of liquid not sure I can get anymore cotton in
@@jameslilley7748 So far it looks fine with enough cotton...
@@netvaper Thank you, it looks fine after following the way you suggested...🙂
@@marufmakki6776 happy to hear it. If many will have the same issue I would record another wicking video
What mod are you using ?
@ Keith Adams. The Innokin Coolfire Z80 Mod
Thank you
This thing is realy shit!!!
Lol i bet all you want is a real smoke couse those just aint worth the mustard
@Hood House. Indeed a good cigar or pipe blend is very desirable but vaping good quality tobacco liquids on a good quality MTL is the closest to the real thing possible and that will do for me majorly of the time. Give it a try what can you loose maximum you carry on smoking
I love watching your videos and after seeing this one i decided to buy myself an Alberich II deck. I love the taste, how it looks but i'm having some problems each time when i fill the tank with liquid it gargels. The liquid somehow overfill the airflow chamber and stops the air mooving freelly to the coil. It's my first RTA and i vatched your videos and i really don't know what am i doing wrong.
Please if you don't mind share some infos and help me to do it right because this starts to be frustrating eqperience 🫤
Thanks in advance.
Hi Marko. The issue you described is a vacuum break when adding liquid to half full tank, the downward pressure forces the existing liquid to go to the nearest exit the airflow causing gurgling when inhaling. The solution is twofold. First make sure you insert enough cotton to fill the entire wicking channels on either side with a length of cotton that touches the deck on the base so any excess liquid is absorbed by the wick. Also never over moisten the dry cotton especially the coil as the gravity fed juice flow work very officially. Next add liquid very gently and don’t overfill. When adding liquid to the tank before securing the top cap, turn the tank upside down ( don’t worry about spillage as the membrane would hold liquid in the tank) and secure the top cap in that position and hold upside down for a few seconds longer then hold it upright and vape. That should solve the problem of gurgling when adding liquid to half full tank. You might still experience some light gurgling but will disappear after a few inhales.
@@netvaper first of all want to thank you for a fast reply, much appreciate. Yes, i watched both videos about Alberich II and i did the same things that you did, and not only once but several times and each time same result, a negative one. I vatched other youtube videos aswell and just can't imagine that the device can be so "tricky" to install and to vape.
I played with the coil, with the distance between the coil and airflow hole, moved it higher, lower, played with amount of cotton and allways the same......i have this tank for a feew days and unfortunatelly still can not enjoy in the full potential from the device. 🫤
Hi Marko. I since discovered another method. When you insert the cotton and cut it to the right length Do Not moisten the cotton or coil at all. Just tuck in the cotton ends gently into the wicking channels and leave them totally dry then screw back the deck and allow 10min sucking the mouthpiece a few times without firing. After 10min you can vape as usual as the gravity fed juice flow would moisten the cotton & coil perfectly without any flooding or gurgling.
@@netvaperthank you for your reply, it's very kind of you....what ever i do the result is the same, i managed to find the right amount of cotton but each time when filling liquid, slowly, gentle or quickly by pressing liquid bottle i create pressure in tank which presses the liquid in tank in the chamber wher the airflow pin is and the darn thing starts to gurgling again. The thing that i did is i dismanteled the transparent rubber gasket on the filling holes on the top of the atomizer to stop creating pressure in the tank while liquid filling. I did this feew days ago and till now i had no issues, i hope that this is a permanent solution.
Beside Alberich II i ordered a replica FEV V4.5 S and i'm thinking to buy myself a Arcana 22 or Chariot atomizer from Arcana Mods. Do you have any experience with Arcana Mods atomizers, can you describe shortly which one is better, which one has a better or stronger lung hit?
Thank you again, best regards from Germany 👋
@@holjeholjevac Please let me know if removing the membrane off the liquid ports has solved your gurgling issue. I reviewed the Arcana 22 link here. ua-cam.com/video/e7Xiz4xVUj0/v-deo.htmlsi=oOLqJ4XX7uHX389k
It is very good quality MTL RTA
