A couple of weeks ago I dropped my trusty Boreas 1 and bent the metal enough that the replacement tank doesn't for perfectly. But I'm now very happy with the Blitzen which is probably a better tank flavorwise than the Boreas. I also enjoy the Manta a great deal. Both use the cool bubble tanks...

I've moved on to the OBS engine single and dual coils. Looks like there is no place to leak outside of the base for the coils/posts and that appears to be solidly designed. And of course no air flow from bottom. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is close to my DNA200 settings when I run in SS temp mode. Anywhere from 420 to 460 @40w and 40w punch. Seems to work on most of my builds. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great review. Have you tried sticking the wicks through the holes just as described in the little booklet. I tried your approach initially and it gave me a bit of a wetter vape while going through the holes makes things dryer, which is what I prefer. Of course that's just me and very likely...

@road looks like fine wicking. Do you like that cotton in particular and can you compare it to cotton bacon? Edit....just now looked at some pics and I thought it came in rolls. But it seems to come in pads but they look fluffier than the pads I sometimes use. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wasn't able to figure wicking on this so I binned it. Not a lot of room for cotton between the posts and the tall steam stack air holes. Combined with those ample juice holes, vapes come out too wet. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah I learned my lesson. One of my DNA boards went bad. Right after a new build punch the button and it's Mt. Vesuvius in my mouth. Could have been worse as I just got a small boo boo on the roof of my mouth. Under warranty repair confirmed bad board. Now when I pick up a mod after it's been...

I started using SS when I got a couple of DNA mods. I use the mods only for temp control. I've got a Smok r200 for power mode and usually with kanthal. I also have an Alien. Or had one. Somehow my Boreas leaked into it one night and I found juice at the bottom of my battery compartment. Then one...

I haven't used those wires or know much about them. Mostly I roll with single coil SS316L in temp mode about 75 pct of the time on my DNA200s. Otherwise I run simple kanthal builds in dual coil RTAs. Like with the OBS Engine. Good luck. Quite honestly I prefer the Merlin over the Ammit because I...

I use SS Claptons. Both core and wrap. Seems to work well with my DNA. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Have you all tried cotton bacon yet? It's naturally fluffy so you just need to get the right length so it's touching the bottom and that's it. It is not the most efficient thing in the world so you need to experiment with length and width but fluffiness is very important imo. I'll never be...

It's become my favorite dual coil in a short time. I need to get another also. 2 Ammits for single coil and 2 Engines for dual. Love the Merlin but the thing seeps unfortunately. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not sure how much of my cotton actually touches the bottom. If it does it barely touches as I didn't want to use too much cotton. But I'm glad you pointed that out as it is something I might want to experiment with. It sure is vaping well at this point. Nice tank. [emoji106] Sent from my...

Just got my Engine today. Read with interest the wicking strategies in this thread. Took me three tries. First two times I tried the Boreas approach of folding the wicks under the coils and got a vape too wet for me. Condensation at the drip tip was mostly e liquid. Thinning the cotton didn't...

I'm warming up to the Ammit. If you don't wick it carefully they won't juice up efficiently. Especially with high VG. Keep the wicks short and fluffed at the end and the Merlin and Ammit are my two favorite tanks. Haven't tried the mini. * Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I knew the mod was the problem because I glowed the coil on something else. Everything appeared fine. Not! After a third try and a fried coil leg it was time for the Efusion to go back. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've gained a healthy respect for the power of mods. Over a month ago I rebuilt a Merlin which I've done a bazillion times, pushed the fire button and received a ball of heat and smoke up into the mouth. Pretty shocking. And unpleasant. Rebuilt again and this time fired up without my mouth in...

Mike Vapes did a review where he complained about air bubbles but concluded that it was a non issue. For what's it worth as those guys can't be trusted IMO. Apparently the glass is way close to the chamber but he claims it still wicks if you ignore the air. Whatever, I've binned my Mage RTAs...

I got the rayon I pictured above via Amazon. If you're used to using cotton bacon it's just like that. Except as mentioned you gotta make the wick tight at the coil and snipped at the tails. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
