    Just wanted to add a quick update to say that I finally had my "Aha!" moment with wicking, after seeing this guy's easy-to-understand video (wicking description starts at about 7:45): All the other vids I saw on there just showed people jamming everything full of cotton, but what made the...

    ok... so, I think that answers another question I was going to ask. The VERY first time I filled my first tank, and the 2nd time I filled my THIRD tank - right after filling & closing, I noticed that the juice level just started going *BLOOOOOOOP* down really quick. SUPERfast dump. (guess...

    Here's my setup. (just got the rainbow Battlestar the other day with the Merlins - like it WAY better than my RX 2/3 that just died after a few months of use):-x Mods by SmokieTreats posted Apr 26, 2017 at 9:11 AM Battlestar3 by SmokieTreats posted Apr 26, 2017 at 9:10 AM

    But you're 100% PG MTL, right? Is there a different recommendation for coil size for DL with high to max VG? Also... do I also have to close off the AFC when I fill up? (I have been so far - just not sure if I need to.) And should I close off the JFC when the tanks are sitting? The AFC...

    SPEAKING of crazy... I just set up my 2nd Merlin with one of the AVS pre-rolled Dual Core Fused Claptons (3mm ID 6-wrap at .39 ohms) and loaded it up with some Adirondack Sagamore. Holy s:censored:t! I have entered flavor city! FRYD Oreo in one hand and Sagamore in the other - :w00t: - I think...

    I just gotta say that I'm thrilled with the flavor I get out of this tank.:shock: For my first build, I just threw in one of the pre-rolled AVS Triple Core Fused Claptons (3mm ID 6-wraps... came out at .27 ohms) Did the low wattage pulsing & squeezing & strumming method from their video to get...

    Yeah, I've cleaned one out (carefully - good thing I read about that top o-ring wanting to escape - mine would've been down the drain - barely caught it) & I'm going to take some time getting a coil in there, checking for hot spots n such (as per the AVS tutorial) & wicking. Got some other life...

    Bad decision? It's not definite. I'm starting with one.

    ok, ok, ok, ok!:-x Well... my vapemail JUST got here, so after ALL my freaking out about the seeping... I think I'm just gonna suck it up & hope for the best on all three of em. Does that make me crazy? (@Eskie - plz make sure the vape fairy watches over my Merlin(s)?) Hopefully it'll be a...

    How would you compare the single coil deck? And did you use the 6mL tube, or just the 2mL? If so, is the flavor dip negligible on the 6mL? (2mL is what kept me from the Merlin Mini)

    That's where I was being led to by my reading of this Merlin thread to the OBS Engine Nano thread readings. I mentioned the Exo here, & haven't had anyone else respond about it. (seems like it's got more of an "underground" following, as in lots of people saying it totally beats out the Engines...

    I vape like I used to smoke... about once an hour, outside (not by choice). So I tend to have about 13(+) 2-1/2 second pulls with my airflow mostly closed off... & in pretty quick succession. (would say "chain-vape", but that means different things to different people.) I'm not opposed to more...

    yikes. And where the hell does one look? I've looked & looked & looked & then looked some more. If you WERE a "1-atty-kinda-guy" - what would YOU hone in on - for best flavor, ease of use and least leaking/seeping issues? so... essentially you're saying that these Engines (Original & Nano) are...

    Cool... well I'm definitely thinking this may be the way to go. I'd hate to have three of something that's going to seep. (most likely) Or even ONE, for that matter. Too bad they never fixed this issue as time went by.

    ok... well in this post - I take away two important words: "like"... & "love". I'm not a collector, and have no interest in buying things to put in a drawer... as I don't have a $$$-tree in the backyard. Therefore - I'd like to get it right out of the gate, if possible.

    Merlin by Augvape and Roxy

    hahhahahhaha! Yeah, so would you say that would be your advice? (not the not wicking & putting in pocket upside down bit - but getting Engines instead?) I ALMOST got 2 Merlins & a regular OBS Engine initially. Then I just got nervous about whether it was a good idea to even bother getting a...

    Ok, that's what I thought I'd read. As far as wicking goes - I've watched a ton of videos on Utoob... and it seems that in every one I saw - they floofed the ends out and tucked em in gently - covering up the JF holes, and a BIT into the juice cups. But in my (extensive) reading through forums...

    Alright, well, it doesn't seem like anyone is saying "Hell no! Don't keep em! They're a nightmare!" Or "Get THIS one instead..." I'm not a "hobbyist". I don't see myself getting excited about building challenging coils for fun. (I've got some pre-rolled SS Clapton coils from AVS, and a spool of...

    Crap. I had asked for some advice on Reddit about whether it was a good idea to grab 3 of these as my first RTA. I needed to IMMEDIATELY get away from spending $3(+) on coils for my ooooold Halo Reactors (version 1 - bottom fill... rebranded Freemax Starre V1's). I had seen so many good...

    Reactor coils always reading higher than they should

    So psyched. No way in HELL i'll be going back to stinkies again NOW. Vape on, my friends. :vapor::drool:
