    Original Merlin Replacement Glass

    I'm looking for suitable replacement glass for the original Merlin RTA by Augvape (the 4ml tank). It looks like all the normal places are sold out / discontinued. Any reasonable replacements? $6.98 Authentic Augvape Replacement Glass Tank for Merlin RTA Atomizer (5-Pack) 5-pack at FastTech -...

    FWIW, the factory ring that goes into the groove between the AFC and JFC rings is an 18ID x1.2. If yours had no ring then it likely leaked like a sieve. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    I've taken one of mine apart several times -- mostly to figure out how to do it and to take pictures for those who were too scared to open theirs. No issues getting it back together as well as no leaks that I didn't ask for. I haven't opened a v2 yet to see if there are any differences in...

    I hate it when that happens. Now when I'm unscrewing the base and I feel any resistance I make sure to watch carefully that I'm not unscrewing the tank. If I am, I remove the merlin from my mod and be extra careful removing the base. When I'm done I make sure to tighten the tank up...

    To reseat the deck: 1. Place the merlin deck upside down in a 13/16" spark plug socket or similar. This should be supporting the deck by the juice flow ring. 2. Place an additional socket over the 510 connector. This would be any size large enough to not touch the 510 connector 3. Tap...

    It screws into the bottom of the positive post. That's the piece that you see when you look through the air slots and is the tube that holds the airflow restrictor in place. I posted pics of all the base pieces a while back. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

    The airflow tube where the airflow restrictor goes is actually adjustable. From the top of the deck you may be able to tighten it down a bit and expose more threads to the 510 pin. On mine I can gently insert a small flathead screwdriver and "tighten" the tube down until the top is just...

    It's threaded onto the air flow tube. I used a small screw driver wedged into the air flow tube to unscrew it - being careful not to abuse the threads where the airflow restrictor screws in. I broke it down once more to get a better look at the "missing" oring. Its there but its clear and...

    Actually, after I look at the pics the only oring I saw was the one that is on the outside that doesn't require taking the base apart. I guess my "airy" issue is that I'm missing an oring. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

    Here's what worked for me, finally. 1) remove all user serviceable parts from the base - 510 pin, positive post, positive post insulator. 2) wrap duct tape around a pair of vice grips and grab the merlin by the JFC ring (the knurled ring above the JFC ring) 3) place a blunt object slightly...

    Here's a pic of something that didn't work. I beat the crap out of it with a hammer cushioned with a piece of wood. Didn't budge. And still doesn't leak a drop. [emoji1] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

    Scratch that. Couldn't leave well enough alone and broke down the entire top side of the deck. The air tube looks to be connected to a plate where the copper + screw goes, with an insulator. In a roundabout way, the copper screw holds down the tube, and the positive post is screwed to the...

    I really wish mine was broken so I could risk destroying it. I poked at it a bit. Looks like you'd need to go at it by removing the center of the deck from the afc/grasping ring assembly below. I was able to move the deck side to side about 25% around but wasn't sure if it was pressed in...

    Been staring at mine off and on for a few days now contemplating the best plan of attack. Oddly, I feel that there probably ISN'T any user serviceable oring in there. Posting this may just make me take a screwdriver to it though. I'd hate to kill it as it isn't really broken. Sent from...

    I was thinking of doing the same. My deck works ok but is very airy fully closed. Luckily it's right where I like it fully closed. Was going to ask if I ordered two more if they'd hold them till a replacement deck arrived and ship it all at once. Sounds like you went that route and got...

    You're likely going to have a bad time. Twisting the atty from anywhere besides the base simply spins the juice control around and around. Perhaps someone has an easy workaround that doesn't involve gluing the juice control in one position. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

    Two Alleria and a Merlin. They're durable. I wouldn't back my truck over them, but they're not going to split into two pieces in my pocket. FWIW, the merlin is machined much smoother than the alleria all around. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

    Alleria RTA - Unboxing

    I only have the stainless and can't imagine the cage warping from anything other than brute force. I hope you get it straightened out. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

    Alleria RTA - Unboxing

    Sounds like you either got a dud or have something assembled wrong. Make sure that you have seal rings on both the top and bottom of the tank / cage and that the flat part of the ring is facing away from the glass (towards either the base or top cap). Also make sure that the cage is properly...

    Augvape Alleria Rta!

    I singled coiled mine when I first got it. And oddly, a friend of mine is going to single coil his this weekend more than likely -- he's loving the Alleria but not loving the battery / juice consumption of running dual coils. The kicker with the single coil is that there is no single coil...
