Can you guys recommend a nice tank that will look good on and ePipe.

I don't know if they will look good on an ePipe, but I really like the standard sized 19mm and 22mm OCD tanks. Here's a picture of each respectively:

Atmistique's Scuba tank will be available this week. Based on the pics, which I have seen, it will accommodate both the flanged and flange-less Divers. It also has a removable filling port located at the bottom cap.

oh my poor bank account looks like another diver and tank are needed

Hey guys!
Been so busy that I forgot to check back in on this thread ><

Anyways... I did get my diver set up with SS mesh wicks with my diver and there was a wee bit of flooding and leaking (6 or 7 drops when "at rest" over a period of time). To make the coils I slipped a pin into the mesh and wrapped from there. Originally I was thinking that adding a second short piece of wick would slow down the flooding issue, which it did somewhat. But now I'm thinking that my resistance only coil may be the problem. I may also try starting fresh with a longer mesh wick because I may have made them too short ( :oops: ). Failing that, I have some silica wick on the way.

Are there any local shops that carry nickel nr wire? I'd rather not be waiting on a constant stream of vape-mail if I can help it.

As an aside, I bought a 35mm Phiniac tank which fits really well (albeit very snug). In fact I have to be careful about how I remove it because I have accidentally unscrewed the Diver tube while trying to re-fill my juice.

Edit:

Well I just took my diver apart and found out that the base of the cup was broken ><!
I did buy a couple of extras (I have 3 now) and at the risk of breaking another I tested the center pin on the cup w/o wire to see the tolerance. Holy cow... there is like zero room for anything bigger than a couple of hairs... what size wire should I be using for this?

I use 32 or 34 gauge nr wire with it. anything bigger will crack the base of the ceramic (in my experience... started with 16 ceramics, I'm down to 10 now) I also found that the length of the positive nr wire stuck into the base of the ceramic cup will affect how tight it is. Too long and it's too tight, resulting in difficulties removing the ceramic and (possible) breakage of the base of the ceramic. Too short and the connection isnt tight, the ceramic will spin while tightening the tube onto the base, and it could misalign the wick and hole in the tube, as well as not making good positive connection. It all comes down to personal preference, and how many ceramics you have to experiment with. Honestly, my diver is taking a break for a bit, I just got a Kayfun 3.1 in the mail :)

Finally pulled the trigger and snagged a diver last night on vaperev (my wallet is LIVID from this week) so I can finally do a side by side between it and the killer. I'm hoping it lives up to the hype! Anywhere in the US that sells ceramic cups and/or will killer cups fit into the diver?

Cheers folks.

Chikenbok, you may want to check with 405 Vaperz. They are located in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

Looking forward to reading your observations and comments about the Diver and Killer 705.

Although, I have another Diver arriving, I can't help but feel that I need to try and test the Killer.

If the Diver performs like everyone has been claiming it has been (better than the killer) I'll send you the killer down to try out and you can tell me what you think. I've been having some annoying problems with the Killer recently and hoping that the Diver fixes all of these. I'm gonna go with 3m German Silica, 32g Kanthal, and .999% 32g Silver, have about 20000000000 coils already prepared at 1.5-1.7ohms.

Edit RE: Killer - It performs INCREDIBLY well when its working. Its finicky which is my only complaint with it. Its an incredible device but I mean, there's nothing to 'fincik' (yeah its a word) with the Diver thus, I'm hoping it'll replace the need to adjust juice flow, air flow, etc. Also, its a great dripped for trying out new juice. Will do a proper side by side when the diver gets here. in the meantime, I ordered another.
