Hey Nailz, do you think that the flavor of the Ares is as good as the Siren V1 then, or more like the Berserker or Hussar ??

I would count it as good as the V1, which to me has been no.1 for flavor since it came out, IMO I rate flavor best to last as Ares, Siren V1, Berserker, Siren v2, Hussar.
Right now, my perfect tank, would be the Ares tank with the top fill of the Siren V2, as do love how simple and easy the top fill is on the Siren V2, the top fill on the Ares is a let down , as it seeps from it, if it wasn't for that, it would be King

Well I have been doing some more experimenting with the siren. I discovered that using cotton solved some of the issues with the leaking and weeping. You also have to really pay attention and make sure the wick is no where near the air intake. It still floods from time to time after refilling it though. It also doesn't seem to wick all that well either. I still get a burnt tastes every now and now and then if I chain vape it.
Today I finally got my order from fasttech. I got the hurricane and skyline clones. The siren doesn't hold a candle to either of them lol. Even for 20 dollar clones the build quality is better. And they are easier to build. Nailed the builds on both of them right of the gate, which is what I am used to. No fiddling or playing with the wicking and no learning curve beyond what you need to know for pretty much any other tank. No leaks, flooding or weeping. Dry as bones. And the flavor is much better on both of them as well. I can also get a much tighter draw on them, more like I expect for a mouth to lung tank. Then again the original models of these tanks cost 5 to 10 times what the siren did.
Looks like the siren will be getting cleaned up and put back in the box and kept for a back up tank. Or maybe I will give it to someone that wants to fiddle with it. Not horrible tank once you figure it out, but not as good as my two new ones.
Thanks to everyone that helped me and offered advice. If you like the tank more power to you. Everyones vaping tastes are subjective. This one just wasn't for me I guess.

I hear everything that you have said Paul. I don't know how long you have had your Siren V1, or how long you have been building on it, but let me suggest that every once in a while you pull that Siren back out and try it again. I have been using either a 22mm or 25mm Siren V1 each and every day since Jan. 23rd of 2016 and just recently "Found the Touch" with wicking this thing, and it puts everything else that I have in the back seat. Once you get the hang of the wicking, this thing really puts out the flavor, and no dry hits or burned taste at all. Just keep at it Paul.
BTW, I do realize that the Siren V1 is not an easy RTA to get along with, as all of us here have had our little struggles with it.

In keeping with my totally random experiences with the V1, I've been running my normal two now for at least two months, not a fargin' drop of wet. Not even at the connector.
Tasting great, as always, but for the first time, neither has even the slightest hint of seepage (JINX!). I still won't risk using them as out-mods though. No, no, no - "No out for YOU!"
Ideas, I have none. I just vape 'em.

That's strange DPL, but Good all the same. I won't even hazard to guess why. Call me "silly", but I have one 22mm that is on my HΩ G2 that I have taken out a few times over the last several months and it has acted very civil indeed. I think it might have something to do with proper training, but not sure yet.

I find it truly amusing that this is the discussion du jour, especially in light of this vid that DPL sent me:
Normally like his video's, but his info is nearly all wrong in this video, Siren V1 is one of the best flavor MTL tanks, I really believe he is only bashing the Ares, because he is pushing the Siren V2 he promoted so much, I do think the Siren V2 is a good tank, but the flavor is not as good as the Siren V1 or the Ares.
I agree and if you watch his video on the Siren V2 he makes it sound like he saved the tank by fixing the airflow before it was released. I wish he would have stayed out of it because it was his idea to change the air flow and I think that's what killed the flavor on the V2. I still think the V1 is great and use them daily along with the great SXK Doggy Style, and Coppervape Skyline , those 3 are my favorites.
Yes Nailz, I concur. I have always liked his video's too, but now I just can't trust his opinion like I did before. Sad.
Edit; We posted together bob. I didn't know about the air flow of the V2, and that Vic was instrumental in it. Makes more sense now.

As I was watching that video, I was thinking to myself, "Use a spaced coil and maybe you won't cook your juice dude".

Yes Kat. The discussion on 2 different threads.
Edit; I think ol' Vic sort of stirred up a Hornets Nest.

Just like the flavor of the Siren V1, that's still alive and kicking also.and our Siren thread lives on.
And as I vape my Siren (non-leaky still, 5-2!), I look around and see no other similar tank.
Happy, me.
Happy, me.
Good Deal Kat. I was hoping that you would come to like it as much as we here do. You deserve some Dancing Bananas
