Might do that to mine...yep my vaporsharks have seen better days, but still work well. That one looks a little different. Maybe because mine are 18650's. I just have one screw to take off door, that one has 2.

I'm waiting for @vapdivrr 's decision between Dvarw and EVL, I have three Dvarws in use. Yes, the price of admission is high (I bought the authentics) but the vape quality is superb. The only thing getting close to them is the BBs with MF bridges and 1.3 ohm ceramic EUC coils.
I loved vape on the Dvarw. Thought it was the only tank with as good a vape as the Doggystyle, but more parts to deal with and a little picky in wicking. I love the new Ehpro True MTL- it has a better vape than either, imo. And very simple to use & build, forgiving, top fill, good afc, stays dry as a bone, bulletproof reliability so far. Authentic available for under $30. Highly recommended, and I'm pretty sure it's cured me of tank shinyitis for some time to come.

The Dvarw is my RTA end game and one of the things I love about it over many of the other RTAs I have had over the years is it's versatility. I can setup a Dvarw with uber-tight draw or a loose DTL draw under the coil, where it is most important IMO, if I choose.

90% of the time I prefer a tight draw and so many of the MTL RTAs fail in this regard. But with the Dvarw you have a plethora of options, under the coil, to fit your preference.

I definitely like the vape quality of the ER3 over the darvw, I find the flavor a bit more full and vapor a bit more full as well. I definitely like the build quality of the reaper better, as it just feels a bit more hi end. The looks are pretty even and size is pretty close. I have 3 darvws and if someone right now would trade for the reapers, I would do it in a heartbeat. I also like the ease of filling the reaper, as I dont need a tool to unscrew tank (with the darvws I have to insert something into the af hole to gain a grip, like the doggy) but there is that dang af ring and JC thing on the reaper that I just dont like. Every time I take off tank, I have to realign the af hole to my liking , which is a bit of a pain. Also the juice control is just backwards, as every time I tighten the tank on the mod, it turns off juice control.....if the reaper was the only tank I had, those 2 things would be a real pain, but I vape like 7 different rtas each day, so a full tank on the reaper lasts me a few days, so it's not that big of a deal......they are cons, but it's just such a great vape

How about for us tight draw enthusiats @vapdivrr, what are your thoughts? Can we dial the reaper to a tight draw like Dvarw with .8 or 1mm insert or similar to Berserker?

That I will have to try. I vape the darvw with the 1.2mm insert and vape the reaper on the 3rd tightest, which seems comparable. I do have all darvw inserts, so on my next build I will insert the the smaller ones and compare. I know the reaper has a very small hole as its tightest setting, but the way the AFC ring just sits , it's not 100 percent sealed, so I'm sure there is some extra air coming in. I just tried the reaper as tight as possible and its freagging tight, but never tried the .08 on the darvw or never tried the berserker, so I'm not sure if comparable. I will definitely let you know in a few days.....if the reaper had inserts like the darvw, it would be better, as I really like those....

One more comparison, the reaper is much easier to build. There's something about that ring on the darvw that I dont like when building. Either you have to insert down after you place wick or before and either is a little bit of a pain and then placing the wick tails properly against the holes is also a little bit of an art, in the reaper it's just cut and place and way easier

I'll be sticking w the Dvarw for sure but really like hearing others experiences. If you had asked me 2 years ago if there would be a killer 16mm MTL attie that would come out I would have laughed (i thought Spheroid V4 would be the end of that line forever). Everything comes back around LOL.

Diver, dude- you like Kayfuns. You like Dvarw. You like (demand, like me) TH. Trust me, you will love this tank. And no wonky chimney cap like the Dvarw has. And even the authentic is cheap. Just get one, and thank me later.

My 2 cents on the Dvarw vs Reaper3 battle is: Get both, they are excellent tanks. Reaper for loose mtl and Dvarw for tight mtl. (I have only experience in clones)
Is your reaper the mtl version? Mine is and at its tightest setting, it's super tight . I always thought if the main af hole is kind of big, but the afc ring hole is a lot smaller, it wouldn't work as well or couldnt be a true mtl vape, but it does. Perhaps it's just that I haven't vaped .08 mm af in many years and I'm just too use to af over 1mm, but it's hard to believe that someone would or could vape tighter then the reapers tightest hole. But like mentioned before, if your reapers ring has more play, then that would certainly make a difference. I agree though, both are some of the best out there
