For those that don't know the splinter is a 510 threaded mod made by RBT that uses the heater technology from his previous vapes. So you can think of this as a mini Zion or a regulated Milaana.
The Splinter pre orders are going out and I thought it a good time to put a link to the store and the signup sheet. Initial impressions from people are great (Y) This is the way to get the Zion experience if you missed them.
Not sure on the full details so I don't want to say yes to something that ends up being wrong.
With some now out in the wild I hope others will be able to answer some of the questions. I'm sure a few members here were/are on the waitlist.
Looks interesting!
I used to demo a bunch of mod companies when vapers.tv was a thing so if anyone needs a recommendation to a cheap yet quality reliable 50w box mod, I could help steer you. They make TINY reliable ones now.
BTW the mouthpiece shown here is NOT the one included. This is something from 7th floor and Ryan cut it down from 26mm length to 22mm so it would fit all my RBT gear.
First batch has already shipped (I have beta units but this walnut is the production version). There are a few more presales to get out and Ryan will be contacting people on the waiting list. Get on that list. I suspect he will be producing more in January to fulfill the pre-orders left and the waiting list. He's waiting on parts now.
don't have one yet but I am looking at the Tesla one above. I would like to use "myevic" open source firmware, never used it yet but looks really interesting. Still new to the box mod thing. Really love my milliana and can't wait to try another of Ryan's devices.
Nice reviews, I’m on the waiting list for a splinter and your review just confirmed that I must have one. Question: do Tubo stems work in the splinter?
Nice work as usual! Thanks again for taking time to review some of the less known "small company" vapes. As you noticed these can perform with the big boys but don't they don't have the marketing bucks the other guys have so your exposure is extremely helpful!
Just a couple points of clarification....
*The Milaana and Zion heater is the same tech with just slightly different configurations.
*You can mix/match your Splinter/Milaana batteries but it's recommended you keep a matched set with the Zion to be charged together at the same level.
The Tubo stems will not work unless you cut them down. While they are both 18mm joints the RBT products take a 22mm (US sized) length and the Tubo comes with a 26mm length. Hence why I had Ryan cut down all my 7th floor stuff which is 26mm length default.
There are some ways around this (like wrapping the joint with a O Ring and pressure fitting it in the joint but the hold is less secure and it sticks out a bit. This is what I did before I had everything cut down.
I'm on the Splinter waiting list, and I am rather ignorant on mods. @Other Side posted info I thought helpful in the Zion thread https://forum.vapelife.com/discussion/2000/rbt-zion/p3 . There is good info on the FC forum
