Augvape Merlin Mini By Roxy

[JoAnnW]

I ordered a stainless mini from Subtank but I'm confused. It stated all new orders are pre-order (in red) but below that it had 34 items available.

The order went through, got the confirmation email and nothing on my invoice states preorder.

Can someone explain it to me?

I should add... this is my 1st order with them.

The "in stock" with the preorder status means that's how many are left on the incoming shipment usually. He is a good vendor, but yes they are a preorder.

Just got mine from Subtank yesterday. Hope you guys can help me out. I am not new to building (6 months +) ... I get great flavors from my other tanks (K5, Hurricane, Pharaoh...). On Merlin Mini I put a Wotofo Comp Wire clapton 24G/30G in ... 0.5 Ohm ... in the beginning for the first 5 pulls at 35W I got incredible flavor. But then .... nothing but air. Tried different wattage. Nada. No leaking, whicking great chain vaping. What can be the problem. I know it's my user error, just don't know what. TIA.

Oh, and I am running it on Efusion DNA200

just get my hands on the merlin mini rta, I used the dual coil deck but cannot seem to find the right way to wick, it always leak from the air hole when i refill the tank. Any suggestion on how to wick this rta so it doesn't leak ? thanks.

Could you have too much wick in the cups? How tight is your wick in the coil? How thick is your liquid?

Is that cotton?

Might be starving for juice???

First, the Mini does not wick same as the original Merlin, If your using cotton do keep in mind it expands a fair bit when it becomes saturated. @Coach_Nat your build looks like something I'd be using to choke off a very high PG liquid, even then if you've not thinned those tails at the tips it may be too much.

The build definitely looks like a choker.

Here are some pics of a rewick on mine, I use no less than 80VG liquid, density may need to be adjusted for thinner liquids. Current build is 3mm twisted .28g .7 ohms I can chain vape the tank dry @45 watts and maintain full saturation until the tank is gone. So far zero leaks, completely dry fills.

Didn't need to rewick yet, but done for pics.

This is after maybe 50ml of liquid.

I started out with maybe a 4-5mm cut from a sheet of Muji, peeled two outer layers, twisted the end.

Left side thinned by maybe 1/3 by tip of my scissors, then repeat on right side.

Both tails lightly pushed into cups, not packed tightly.

Heat pulse primed wick, ready for the tank.

Quick, dry fill.

It is a bit different then I wicked the original Merlin, which I never intentionally put wick ends in the cups of it, just sort of laid the tails over them all fluffed out.
So far I've had no leaks during fill, no dry hits.

As I mentioned previously it is easy to wick, only thing you really need to consider during wicking is how thick your liquid is, and adjust the density of your wick accordingly.


EDIT: You might also try to keep your coil wraps same size, especially at the ends, the outer turn on your build looks a little large, and may cause some popping, or burn the juice causing a bit of harshness where it does not contact/loses contact from the wick which seems to sag a bit after time.

Excellent photos, the 2nd one should be a "sticky", as it illustrates how to make sure no wicking comes in contact with the air hole and the great clearance you made. Touching is one of the main culprits in bottom airflow hole leaking, as juice will flow from your wick, if it's in contact with any part of the air hole itself. I had to learn that the hard way. Most people on forums respond to leaking posts by simply saying "has to be wicked properly", but seldom explain what that means, that photo explains a lot of it, well done!

The top cap push the air and push liquid through the juice hole. This is a majot problem of Merlin

Has not been a problem for me at all, Multiple Merlins, and a Mini. One thing that can help a bit if you do not over saturate your wick on the first fill, then on subsequent fills dry the wick out a bit before filling, just not enough to dry hit.

I use my Merlins every day, never had it leak on the fill, and so far Merlin mini has been good.

Most leaks during fills can be traced back to one of two things, fill technique, and wicking. And no, I've never bothered to close airflow on fills.

 

[Coach_Nat]

All great point, guys. And @ccwaters:thank you for taking time to elaborate. The photos are a great help. I am going to try to build and rewicrk. Will report back. You guys rock!

By the way, what ID do you recommend? 3? 2.5?

 

[ernieball]

Really, I find it simple, not frustrating at all, and use my Merlins every day, literally takes me a few seconds to fill. Think I've filled the little 8, or 9 times so far today. I would agree to this point if you said "some people", or "I", but anyone? I guess if it is such a bother there are other choices.



Why should I watch him? I have my own sitting right here.




Average quality China o-rings, guess that is what all those web stores who sell o-rings are for. But quite honestly other then the small o-ring in the top cap of my original Merlin which went down the drain I haven't needed a replacement.




LOL, Yea I have a butler that builds for my 400 or so atomizers. Velocity deck is not the end all be all in electronic connections. Not even sure it would be my first choice, I'd have to ponder that. Again, in a single coil build 2 holes are plenty, but then we are just getting into opinion.



Like many other atomizers a thorough cleaning doesn't have to rely on 100% take down, just ask all the people who use atomizers which are much more difficult/impossible to access the internals for cleaning. Granted it is more convenient and faster if it comes apart, but not a deal breaker if it doesn't.




Personally don't feel a need, I guess Augvape and Roxy felt the same way. Sure there are easier methods, and it is a consideration when I buy, its just a ways down on my list.

Rarely any single coil rtas out there have velocity posts because single coil simply doesn't need it. 2 post holes is just more practical, the way I see it. It would be a turn-off if it were velocity style, because the holes aren't leveled for my one and only coil being placed in. I guarantee you roxy saw this and corand as corrected it on this one for these reasons.

I definitely don't disagree.

Very nice pics! Thanks for taking the time to share!

Hey guys been using the Merlin mini for a couple of days~ I do love it but need some advice from you experts out there:
Firstly I have been using pre made coils like the claptons and twisted on wattage mode ~ flavor is good dont get me wrong~ but now I want to try using temp control: simple round ss316 wire~ for amazing flavor ~!!!!
Please help me out with SS316 round wire build and be detailed with what gauge, how many wraps, what ohm, what temp etc.....
If you can add a pic of yoir builds will be much appreciated~ thanks in advance~!!!
