I wish I didn't jump the gun on getting the first ones on 101vape.. it's been sitting in my drawer from tank wobble. Haven't wanted to use it before a response from 101vape.. Since it's been over two weeks since I sent that email..I guess I'll start with different orings..before considering threads. I'll only buy from hcigar or ehpro for now on..

Enjoyed the review very much. I appreciated the details and honesty.
You also saved me money. I already have 2 Rocket tanks and 2 KFL+. Very happy with performance Vapor is decent and flavor is well above Clearo/carto applications.
At my age, poor eye sight and Arthritis become mortal enemies of RBA building. Just do not see where the extra work would be worth the reward for me personally.

Thank you

Very nice review. After watching, I don't think it will be my next purchase, but I think I will pick one up in the next couple of months. Question for you, most of the time I prefer not to pull really hard, will it produce good flavor with a relatively light draw, or is it extremely tight to where you always have to pull really hard to get decent flavor out of it?

you're missing your o ring on the top cap.

did yours come with the pin for hybrid mode and the second drip tip?

i wish you would have shown techniques for the bottom fill to allow more juice to be put in the tank.

overall, good review. I really like HCigars quality


Yes it did come with a pin for hybrid mode, but it did not include a second drip tip, as this was an eBay purchase it is possible that Hcigar shipped a second tip but the reseller swiped it. Not sure what oring you're referring to on the top cap as all the reviews and pictures I have seen of the real thing, seem to be identical to the clone I have. But I will now look into it. It did come with several extra orings in a bunch of sizes so if I am missing one on the top, at least I have it to install. That being said I have never had any issues with the top cap. Once you get the build down it does not leak, but if it is not build just right I do have some small leaks from the air holes. Thanks for watching.

I find that even in its most open position, the draw is tight. Not to say that you have to pull really hard, but this device does not lend itself to direct lung inhales. Mouth to lung is fine. The flavor is excellent, on par with a kayfun, so I think you would be able to get that same good flavor with a short relativity light pull.

Thanks for checking out the review.

Glad to help. I can produce just as much vapor, maybe more, & excellent flavor with a $12 rocket tank. If you already own those tanks this device is not an improvement in my opinion. Now if I drill out the air holes and modify the post for easier dual coil connecting, then it may be a an improvement over those devices.

Thanks for checking it out.

The original does contain an o ring on the top cap.

I wasn't trying to be a jerk mind. I thought it necessary to point out as it didn't seem like you would be aware. I received the black box from FT and had the same issue (no o ring on top cap)

Unfortunately, my version didn't come with an o ring that fit the top cap.

You might want to try filling from the bottom as it allows you to add more juice from the tank. It is a bit harder, but not too bad.
