It is one of my favorites, very satisfying vape, great flavor, and TH. One negative that it looks "weird" and too tallHas any one on her tried the Flash E Vapour -Fev V4 ,
Or cloner Ser Fev v4,
Its diffrent seen many Germany reviews about this months ago so picked one up back using it again , and its a great MTL- restricted vape even with the Airflow plugs removed its still pretty restriced airflow ,
Unusual build an wicking , usual wicking strips to feed the coil , but i used cotton to hood effect , can fit a mesh coil in these too , great Flavourful vapes either way ,

Coppervape's Skyline Clone

I have the Coppervape and the SXK Rose 3. The Coppervape is better. The SXK is hard to take apart and the base plate always comes spinning off when you try to disassemble the atomizer. The afc on the SXK is very hard to adjust once in place because it is fighting the o-ring. Lube the o-ring and it is still the same. The Coppervape is the superior clone virtually 1:1 with the original. I use them both but if I had a choice I would only buy the Coppervape version.
That's some Great News ian, I've got my Bubble Tanks already delivered but still waiting on my FT (SkyLine) order to come in.
Three days ago my CV Skyline clone arrived from China. My build: 6 wraps on 2.5mm SS316 (0.69 ohm), KGD wick and i have the smallest single-hole airdisc installed. Mod is set to 14W. First impression: i like it but it's not outstanding.
Pros:
- flavor is good.
- nice MTL with the smallest airdisc without any annoying noise while having a draw
- looks nice
- no leaking so far (seem to have nailed the wicks on first try)
- very flexible because of the airdiscs
Cons:
- the liquid flow control. I don't know how the authentic is made but on this clone the "nut" is very hard to turn. I have to grab and hold the ring/topcap to not unscrew it while opening the LFC.
- you have to put aside two parts to fill the tank. Compared to the swivel topfill of e.g. the Smok TFV-tanks it's a PITA. So this thing will be used at home most of the time.
verdict: for 20 bucks it's ok but i wouldn't pay three digits for an authentic. Also, there is nothing really new to this tank that others do not offer. It's a solid design and that's it.

On some of them it seems like the outer o-ring on the LFC cap is wrong. There is one that is a little bit smaller diameter in the spares bag. Swap it out for that one and it will be much better.
Had to do it on the one I got from FT, but not on the one from CV.
I have to agree with the comments above. I have been using mine for about two weeks and I find it very average in performance. I have several atomizers I would rate above this one. I am not even sure I will keep it in my rotation but I am giving it some time to be sure. I have tried different airflow inserts and built it with a few coils. I don't think this is going to give my Kayfun 5 or others that I own much competition. I would just call it overhyped. I am not a dedicated mtl guy more of a tooty puffer so maybe I am not the best judge of this.
Ok, so it seems I have confirmed what I was suspecting: It dumps juice into the chamber when opening the JFC. Here's how I arrived at that conclusion:
1) Had a vape break, everything worked normal.
2) Took out the base to check and it was adequately saturated.
3) Put the base back in.
4) Closed JFC.
5) Took out the base again to check, same result as 2).
6) Put the base back in.
7) Opened the JFC.
8) Took out the base again to check. This time it was totally flooded.
I know one "solution" is to open the JFC carefully, but to be honest this is a bit of a pain in the ...., since I'll have to vape it and try to sense wether the wick is dry or not as I open the JFC a little bit at a time. This is far from user friendly.
First I thought this was a consequence of pressure in the tank after filling from the top, but when you screw the base in there should be no such thing. It indeed seems like there is a vacuum issue with the JFC as I think someone earlier in this thread mentioned.
If someone has a better workaround or solution I'm all ears!

The good news is that i solved the problem. In my case it was the inner o-ring that had to be replaced. The one in the spares bag was indeed a little bit smaller and that made the difference.
But: it took me ALMOST AN HOUR to get this sucker into the nut. There must be some sort of special tool to put these things into place in the factory... Two pairs of pliers, sweat and swearing. Five more minutes and i would have shelved the whole thing...
And by the way: i swapped the mouthpiece to a Kayfun 4 styled one (my alltime favourite mouthpiece) and this improves the MTL experience significantly.
thx again,

I noticed that while opening the LFC there are a lot of bubbles coming out of the liquid openings. This usually only happens after i rewicked a tank and lots of juice is sucked up by the wicks.
How did you wick your tank? I filled the whole base with the ends coming out of the coil. Bent them around and not only placed them in front of the openings. So i guess even if it gets flooded the wicks suck up the exess and prevent any leaking. It could also help that i use the smallest airdisc and the juice never gets to/through this single small hole.
b.
Yeah. I can actually feel the suckage. The JFC gets harder to turn, and when the bubbles rise it becomes easy to turn again. It feels like opening a refrigerator door that is stuck because of vacuum.
That sounds pretty much similar to what I do. TBH I think that wicking this way or that way might relieve the symptoms a bit, but it won't solve what is clearly a design issue with this tank. I also noticed that pbusardo, in his review of the authentic, recommended to open the JFC a little bit at a time.
I am gonna try to remove the o-ring on the shaft of the inner chamber/JFC tonight, and see what that leads to. Maybe that is the cause of the vacuum?
I also saw the video and was curious about this little detail.
Maybe that makes the whole LFC useless but we will see.. Interesting: Open the LFC completely and then close it halve a turn and open up again. You will see bubbles. Indeed most likely a severe flaw of this design...
b.
I have never had any leaking problem with this clone but I did discover something that might be a clue to the problems above. I changed the airflow insert from small to large and discovered that it effected the pressure issue in the tank. When I used a small hole for mtl I got lots of pressure issues including discoloration of the e-liquid. When I used a large hole there is no pressure problem in the tank. Of course this is not mtl vaping. So, I am using mine as restricted lung vaping and it is working without issue but still unremarkable.
I have two and and do not use the disks to restrict the airflow, the AFC works fine getting me to the right restriction. That being said the tanks are performing real well and the flavor is pretty damn good. Like anything else you need to play with it to find your sweet spot. 4 wrap (2.5mm) with 24ga comes in at about .38 Ω and like I said, damn good vape.
Ok, so I removed the little o-ring on the shaft of the inner chamber, and did the following experiment:
1) Filled the tank with disposable liquid.
2) Removed/inserted base to relieve pressure.
3) With the tank upright, opened/closed JFC 3-4 times in a row.
That led to juice pouring out of the airholes.
I did the same thing again, only now with the tank upside down when opening the JFC. Then I did not experience any flooding. I even removed the base to check, and saturation was fine.
So my conclusion, and disappointment, is that it seems like the tank must always be upside down when opening JFC, or you'll have to open it a little bit at a time while vaping and hope that you can sense the dryness of the cotton adequately as you open the JFC.
If someone can repeat the experiment and post the results, that would be most helpful!

I've not had any leaking or any other problems whatsoever....I do, however, agree that it's a good performer...not a great performer. I love the looks and the principal...and it's fun to use something new. However, my Hurricane V2's have returned to the top of my devices.
Not having mine , leak , you can unscrew the base refill down side of glass easy enough , just done that myself when fresh wicked an cleaned out my coil rayon used its shining in this tank with this build no break in just vapes with instant Flavours,
Old wicks total gunked still had no leaks at all?.
Just so ....... easy to do,
Rayon should be tight fitting in coil being Rayon it dont expand like cotton ,
Stuffed down into juice well,
the dentist tool to place cotton in the small slots for wick on deck ,
only over the juice hole in deck not covering deck with wick,
Pushed the wick away from central airflow any threads will allow juice to weep down airflow,
Simple no leaks.
Great Flavourful vape can handle a little more heat,
I Dont understand how every one is having leaking problems.
It got to be the wicking method your using. If the decks juice holes have enough cotton or Rayon then it wouldn't flood through,
like all decks some are easier than others to wick.
Using my Dentist tools 99p online , has helped so much with tricky wicking.
Leaks ? Not had any on mine ,
Since switching to Rayon ,
Vape has improved substantially using Claptons
So has Flavours with Rayon instant Flavours.
This exact build an wick is par now with hussar for me,
before it was lacking in Flavours. No flooding or leaking and my deck isnt covered in wick either,
Maybe try to fin something to help put the wick down into the wick channels behind the decks juice hole its only small but im sure once its in there properly it won't leak,
JFC/ is 4/5th open all the time
Unless refilling.
Airflow/ have only one open an not fully 3/4s at the moment.
open
On this one i have removed the deck inserts for an open draw be it slightly restricive but chucks dence thick clouds,
It,s producing some nice thick dense Flavourful vape
like any other larger atomiser but substantially better Flavours.
Clapton @21w.
Will try rayon in my other Skyine once home this has the cleito bubble an deck inserts, Spaced 3mm 316L build, for TC,
This pictured one here was done on fly at a pals house ,
Main tool used my little dentist tool for wicks , makes a good difference to my wicking.
My little pocket portable build kit.
You can see the dirty gunky wick in back ground from using some Cereal Yogurt mix with sweet strawberry ,
Totally gunks up the wicks ,
Totally worth it though tastes so yummy,
but did hammer it for a week ,

Its definitely strange looking but the vape once coiled up wicked up right is just outstanding , its one of a unique design too unlike 90% of the others this fev v4 uses a totally different take , have you seen it coiled up with a mesh coil yet theres a German YouTube videos of it , might Try it at some point but having great results as is ,
Only thing id change is some larger orings between bottom and top to secure both part more , not had it come apart yet but always worried it will do when im not thinking an just pick up via tank an not mod
But a very nice restriced MTL vape even with the airflow threads taken out,

Swap out the oring on the top cap jfc where you grip to turn , swap it for the smallest one in packet , will make it so much easier to turn , an still seals , theres w spare same size o rings an one smaller one , I swapped for that an JFC is so much easier to use ,
