I had my merlin laying on hair brush bristles(well dog brush) on the coffee table, it didn't have a band on it rolled off the brush and fell a whole inch and half and it cracked the glass. I was some choked that the glass broke after such a minor fall. I now have a wide vape band to hopefully protect the glass. I vape band all my attys so I don't know why that one didn't and I paid the price.

Well, the wick WAS burned . When I pulled it only one half came out and the end had a black char on it. I'm back up and running with a new wick and flavor is back to normal. I think I'm going to like this tank for around the house, but the Kayfun V2 and Kayfun Mini V3 will be my carry tanks. The Kayfun wins out in that category for its 4.5ml capacity and no leaking in my pocket. The KF V3 Mini requires re-juicing much quicker.
Air flow is much more free than I'm used to. It's closed down all the way and I can still do a tight lung hit. Juice flow is open to about .5mm and keeping up fine.
I'm feeling a nic buzz that I don't usually get from my 3mg/ml DIY mix. I'm vaping FA Western 2% with .5% AP and .5% EM added.

This is the one I was talking about earlier.
Merlin 22 mm | augvape
It's the new model of the merlin and is 22mm instead of 23.

I'm wondering if this is even going to get released.
Wish they would send a...........
Deck pic......
I think it got shelved while making the RDTA and Druga RDA.
I was really hoping it would have a non seeping base design but work as well as the regular merlin. I guess it's too much to ask.
The more I gain experience in vaping, the more I like thin wire.
But to me, I like them not because their quick ramp up, on the opposite, I like their quick cooling down - and this is important if I chain-vaping. Many decent mods can help in shorten the ramp up time, particularly one which allows user-define temperature or wattage curve. We can control how fast/slow a coil being heated, but not how they cool down...
Imagine you are running on TC mode, the very first firing up early in the morning will heat the coil from room temperature to whatever temperature you have set, it takes a while to reach that (say 440F) and you usually will get a very tasteful first puff. But then if you chain vape by firing again after the first puff is consumed, this time you are pushing the coil temperature from say 200F to 440F, the TC protection mechanism kick in much quicker, the duration of heating up in this second firing is shorter - second puff normally won't be as flavorful as the first, and as you continue to chain vaping, things deteriorate...
IMO, thin wire is nice, because they cool down quicker!
eheheh... I just order from GearBest, a pack of notch coils - the thickest wire in the world and a special edition "Bronzed IPV Vesta" and I plan to run my wattage curve (for 10 seconds): 35, 24, 15, 10, 20, 25, 17, 15, 18, 10.
I put my 2 away a long time ago.Merlin's last stand!
I shoulda woulda coulda but tried to crimp the deck and added the nano set I had bought back when it only dribbled on occasion.
I just broke mine out for a new juice I mixed. Put a 316L parallel coil in it, and really yummy juice. Sat overnight with the jfc open, and dry this morning. Don't hit me, I have no idea how I lucked out.
Anyone found Merlin styled driptips yet? I know fasttech etc china markets is full of them, but they are all too short. Original Merlin driptip what i love, would love to have those on every tank!

Arent those Merlin Mini tips, a bit shorter than full sized Merlins?

You know, it's funny you said that because I've been using the ones I got from FT and never noticed it but you are right.
Fasttech also has another one $4.41 Free Shipping Acrylic 510 Drip Tip (5-Pack) (15mm, Black, 5-Pack) at m.FastTech.com, though the material is Acrylic, but it is cheaper and its size match better with the drip tip come with (full) Merlin tank.
They are nice but less wide airflow than the merlins' and too small for several tanks, but when you put 8*1.8mm o-rings in them they'll fit any tank. Or put 2 to 3 wraps of dental floss underneath the original o-rings.
After testing quite some other RTAs, the Merlin is still the best RTA i have.
Very few tanks beat the Merlin in flavor, and all of them have other cons/disadvantages.
So, for me, the Merlin is still No. 1.
Very good in flavor, totally easy in handling, and it delivers quite good flavor at a reasonable battery- and liquid-consumption.

I have to admit that even though I've had seeping from the base on all three of my merlins, I keep going back to it because of the flavor production and ease of building and use. I just have to pull the tank off once a day and wipe underneath it. It seems like a lot of press fit base rta's leak and don't produce as good of flavor as the merlin. I keep waiting to see if augvape comes out with the new merlin.
