I'm gonna try to get her to buy 2 of them, each color, for me for Christmas, and make her think that it is her Idea. I can't up and buy them myself with all the vape gear I have bought over the last....since I quit smoking. I'd hate to see That bill.:blush: She might make me sit in the corner in "Time Out" for who knows how long.;) Yes, I've been a Bad Boy.

Thanks for all the posts from the lucky ones that have this tank!!
Finally a listing of the missing weight spec....
From 3FVape: 70g
upload_2017-12-2_19-15-33.png

So about the same weight as a Kayfun Prime, but 2x the juice capacity.
(and loads cheaper!)
Hoping to get a couple black ones when they come in stock there.
Authentic Innokin Ares MTL RTA Silver 5ml 24mm Rebuildable Tank
(or from VaporAuthority for $2 more as they are U.S.
Innokin™ Ares MTL RTA - Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - Vapor Authority )

52, I hear that.... Started collecting stats since I started vaping for just such a discussion with the better half:

TOTAL SPENT from 12/11/2015 to 12/21/2016 = $ 644.33 (Hardware)

TOTAL SPENT from 12/11/2015 to 12/21/2016 = $ 695.17 (E-Liquid)

GRAND TOTAL 2016 = $1339.50

Per Month Average for 2016 = $111.63

Total cigarette expenditures for 12 months @ $65.00 per week (one carton) – 52 weeks 2012/2013 = $3380.00

Savings from 2012 = $595.42

Savings from 2013 = $1075.10

Total cigarette expenditures for 12 months @ $70.00 per week (one carton) – 52 weeks 2014/2016 = $3640.00

Savings from 2014 = $2034.36

Savings from 2015 = $1633.62

Savings from 2016 = $2300.50

Savings to date = $7648.90

I think I'm ahead of the game so far... 2017 has <$1000.00 spent. I got proof.

I've only had mine for a few hours --- but I am :banana: right now.

Certainly recommend for anyone starting to build. For me installing coils can be quite tedious and this is about the best yet for ease.

The top feed doohicky is working fine for me. Plenty tight (almost too much), but the wonder of wonders, I refilled (and didn't close the air) and zero leak. Miracle.

Wow !! This is Great. Some atomizers are just waiting to leak and seep all over the place, and leaving the air holes open usually guarantees that will happen. That's Good news Tearose50. Thanks. (I wonder if it's those "juice dams" that Phil put in there keeping it from leaking like that) Now watch all the MTL RTA's that will come out in the future having "juice dams" in them.

My Ares came today too from MVS! I had a small mishap. I stripped one of the screws trying to loosen it. My husband had to get it out for me tonight. Thank goodness they included replacement screws. I used one of the included premade coils and have it all set up now. It's vaping great. I love how quiet it is. After 6 and a half years of vaping, I finally have a rebuildable tank!

You could be right. Funny thing is that I didn't even notice those "juice dams" though it was a feature that certainly appealed to me.

We'll see how the leaking goes as refills continue. Afterall, I've only refilled once.;)

Please keep us posted tearose. I have heard the word "Quiet" several times now. I know that my Berserker is also quiet, and when I first got it I thought something was amiss, as I have always had some sort of air flow noise when I inhale off of a tank. It's kind of weird not to have noise when you have gotten used to it. This is a Good sign of quality I think.

Your first reports are sounding very good! Since I´m from Germany I won´t be able to get this from a local shop in any time soon (curse you, TDP2...) I bought one from France which is on the way and should arrive on Tuesday. Paid the full price but I really don´t mind. If this tank really delivers what I hope it will (no hassle coil fixing and juice refilling, no leaking, no gurgling, no dry hits, solid flavor and throat hit, MTL air flow - simply put the perfect Every-day tank) it´s still a bargain at the full price compared to the overpriced Kayfuns or whatever 199 USD tanks are out there... 39 bucks for the perfect ever day tank? Yeah, I´m in heaven!
Thanks Phil and Dimitri!

One thing I´d like to have tested is what happens when you turn the tank upside down for an hour or have it lay on the side for several hours ... will some juice escape through the air flow or result in gurgling ? It´s a common scenario if you carry your tank in your jacket...

I left mine on its side overnight. Woke up and grabbed it. No leak, or gurgling.

But if you flip it upside down and take the coil out with juice in it. There will be a little juice under the fill cap. I just wiped it off. And had no leak.

I will take the tank off and stand it upside down for a hour or so. I'll let you know what happens.

Slight problem here-my drip tip is getting uncomfortably warm when I take 2-3 vapes in a row. Anyone else experiencing this? Since I am new to RTA's, I am sure it is some kind of user error. The coil is reading 1.08 and I am vaping at 15.5 Watts. Maybe the fact that I have gone through half a tank since 10.00 pm last night has something to do with it? Any ideas on what I have done wrong?

You could try switching out the driptip, for something skinnier, maybe? IDK and also are you getting any popping or spitting, that sometimes heats up the driptip uncomfortably. With that said, I vape my Berserker tank at fairly low wattage as the tank was heating up. It could be chainvaping, or just your particular build, or a lot of things. What kind of coil are you running in it?
