I don't know about that tri-coil deck, looks interesting, and at the same time looks like a short waiting to happen. Although its tough to say without seeing the final version / trying to build on it. Could be kind of cool though.

Seems a bit overkill to me, not sure who is wanting a tank with three coils and still only having 5ml capacity.
In my opinion (of course) they should start making capacity upgrade parts, such as an extra long chimney with longer glass section, different lengths obviously giving extra juice capacity, 8ml and 11ml for example. That way it is worth using 3 coils as you wont blow through the juice supply in ten minutes flat.
Regardless of the 3 coil deck, I would still like capacity extension parts to be available...

I'd prefer a shorter chimney option with less capacity, lol. They can't please everyone clearly.
Not sure why you would want less capacity, I am pretty sure that the majority of tank users (especially dual/triple coils) buy them because they require less frequent filling than their RDAs do. Well, at least that is the reason I buy tanks.
Strokes and folks etc
The shorter the chamber/chimney size is, (generally) the more flavor it will have. That being said, I wish the tanks were larger myself... more 28mm tanks would get the additional capacity without sacrificing flavor from increased chimney lengths.Not sure why you would want less capacity, I am pretty sure that the majority of tank users (especially dual/triple coils) buy them because they require less frequent filling than their RDAs do.

The Lemo drop as compared to the regular Lemo is night and day. So much more flavor from the drop version. I thought to myself as I was using the Cthulhu that a drop type kit for this tank would be awesome. I liked the fact the the V1 had less capacity.
Two main reasons for me are, A) I dislike tall/long tanks, and B) what @Landman said, I prefer the 'brighter' flavor from a short chimney.Not sure why you would want less capacity, I am pretty sure that the majority of tank users (especially dual/triple coils) buy them because they require less frequent filling than their RDAs do.

Pretty much, same thing @Jdurand noted, but with the OG Goblin, it had a 3ml short chimney, or a 4.2 ml longer chimney, and I preferred the flavor in the 3ml configuration.
Yeah, that would be ideal, a 28mm goblin mini ftw.
Yep, totally agree!
Maybe there will be a Cthulhu v2.28 for us folks (a 28mm version).
All I need is that along with a dual 26650 regulated mod.
i know exactly why, nowhere near enough cotton. I can vape all the juice on that wick in 1/2 a lung hit. twist your ... cottong and make sure it fits very snug in the coil, THEN do not cut it so it just rests on the deck, cut the cotton where the tank 22mm diameter ends, then just stick it all on the deck. you need to make it longer than that.Hello everybody, I need your help fellas.

I agree on everything besides just setting the wicks on the deck. You want the channel to hold on to some wick at least (but not too much) to prevent massive leaks everytime you refill. At least this is my experience, hope it helps!
i bottom fill everytime so i have no issues with leaking, top filling leaks every single time so i guess your method may work for him
I stuffed the heck outta those wick channels with my cotton and no dry hits and no more leaks.
I'm finding this v2 to be easier and easier to wick. at first i was very careful but now i just kind of shove the cotton behind the wicking ring, make sure it's straight, and pull it back up just a little. it's key to make sure no cotton is in contact with the airflow holes, that is a sure leak.
Dan, I think your right. Shorts, Wicking, Flooding, and that's just for the Experienced builders to muddle thru, just wait till some B&M sells that to a Registered/Card Carrying Beginner and tells them "Don't worry, it looks a lot harder than it really is" and then sends them out the door.
I knew that there was SOMETHING that bothered me as I looked at that deck and thought about it, and you nailed it on the head. Built correctly and it will prolly drink down the juice pretty quickly as compared to my single deck builds (I haven't even ventured into the Dual coil deck yet myself).
Again, I like where you're coming from on that, at least for me and the single coil deck, a 3mm shorter version would be Very nice to have, that and one of the new dinky box mod's coming out. That combo would be a good Stealth setup for going out at night on the town, Both in Black.
Yes, a 28mm tank and the New Sigelei 75 Plus 26650 Box Mod would be something that I would buy, put the Triple Coil Deck in there and have more room for builds, more room for more juice (taller maybe even) and more battery life (true 3500+mAh with good CDR).
You are Soooooo Correct on that one. I have ALL the Lemo's and the Drop taste the best of them All.
Until I read your post I didn't realize that I was Subconsciously doing that with ALL my RTA's, RDA's, but I do, and your right, it does help. That is something I have never put in any of my wicking/build posts cause I just didn't think about it, but it IS an important build point (I really saw the importance of that on my Magma). Thanks for that.

I just re-filled the single coil deck, again (6th time on this same build). No Runs, No Drips, No Errors. Simply Beautiful. 
I agree with this. If I wanted less capacity and more flavor I'd just toss on my velocity rda or one of my other rda's. I can empty the standard cthulhu fast enough as it is, and I can fit a fair amount of drips into a velocity rda.Not sure why you would want less capacity, I am pretty sure that the majority of tank users (especially dual/triple coils) buy them because they require less frequent filling than their RDAs do.

Well then, a 3mm sized Cthulhu V2 tank would NOT be for you (and many others out there), but for ME, it would be nice. I go thru 4mm-5mm per day at most, so 3mm and a dinky Regulated single 18650 box mod would be a nice stealth setup for a night out. The industry keeps trying to make us believe in the "One Size Does Fit All" mantra, and it just ain't so. Cthulhu could make all kinds of variants based off of the V2 model and make a Boat Load of $$$. Maybe, that is just what they are gearing up to do, and I hope that they are. If they do, then we will ALL be standing in the Same line to get the version that we like the most.
