David-- I can't speak to your flavor question but I'll add. RE: silicone burn, None to date- not even a small brown spot - using 30ga 1.2 to 2.0 ohm coils. RE: leaking -- I think one needs to be sure the wick overfills the cut out slots. coil of 2.5 or larger I.D. and stuffed with rayon to the max. For insurance, sometimes I have a very small piece of cotton in the bottom of the airflow base to sponge any fluid that may get there. But this has become unnecessary as I learn. RE: airflow- you should have little problems shutting that down. I came from the P.tank. Buy the tank and a coil pack for $20 you can not lose.

Flavor - how does the flavor of the CLR coil compare to that gold standard of drop in coils for MTL, the Nautilus 1.6 and 1.8 ohm BVCs (recent vintage, not what you might have tried two or so years ago with ceramic wicks, those horrible horizontals, etc).? And how does the flavor compare to coils you've built (single coil) on say a Kayfun (or clone) V1, 2, or V3?
SirWolf, I will say that for me, the flavor coming from the CLR is actually more noticeable and lush than the Nautis (tho I DO like them as well). The flavor from the KFL is amazing. I'd not be able to distinguish a profile between it and a CLR, as they ARE different (in ways unwordable for me). Both extremely good!
Leaks - The V2 - does it leak? Out the air hole, maybe as the juice gets low in the tank? I vape high PG, and saw at least one post talking about leaks here with higher PG. Maybe also with VG? If it does i will play with that collar to control juice flow the way I do with my KF Mini V3 clone, though this will be compressing the cotton wick so who knows how that will perform.
The ONLY and rare time I've had a bit of a weep from the CLRs is when I have not taken the time to rewick them. That tiny bit of moisture/weep is indicative of a wick change for me. Other than that? Not a HINT of seepage.
Draw - Does the airflow control allow a decently tight draw for those who like that in their MTL tank, like the Nautilus Mini, Triton Mini, or KF V1?
Yes, it does. The A/F control to me is adequate, and then some.
Want me to start a thread?

VL (Or anyone) have you tried the Cubis BF RBA built horizontal like the CLR? Just ordered one of the coils from FT. Don't know why I even ordered it. Impulse buy.

Do you have a link to buy the tank and coil pack?
Yes, I've tried it. IMO, It's definitely not as easy as the CLR

here ya go, about the best price I know of...

- Joyetech CLR Coils (5 pack)
I have the authentic pico and clone pico-s and neither leak. The important things I think are the o-rings on the clr adapter top bit. The clone didn't have o-ring #1 when I got it so I added my own. It seals the clr coil (where the top bit has been removed). I also had to replace O-ring #2 as the one that came with the clone didn't stay in place. (The ones I used were 6mm inner diameter & 1.5mm thick - so 7.5 mm OD).
I haven't even attempted to use the build deck, I got the picos for the clr's as they are so easy to use (& ego tanks are really hard to get in the UK). I do have a TW oddy tank which is good (as long as you screw the coil in really tight) but I love the pico and it's all I use now for the clr's.
I'm very tempted to check out this tank, it's dirt cheap an even the coils are cheaper than my Nautilus coils. It's just how they compare really?
I get my coil packs from FT, it saves a bit. Of course you won't get them as fast, but I just throw in a pack or two when I order from them.

@Skold Very much MTL. They work great for me. I build with 29, or 30g Kanthal with a 2.5mm mandrel. That 2.5mm mandrel fits perfectly in the wick slots to hold the coil in place while you tie the coil down.
One more thing re: pico-s - make sure the top is screwed on the right way - with the completely smooth side upward. I put it on upside down once by mistake and it did leak then. My authentic has a patterned top which makes it obvious which is the right way but the standard top is plain & quite easy to put on upside down by mistake.

Ah that's coil, I've heard these are very easy to rewick.
I don't like building from scratch cos I shake a lot so these would be ideal
Arrrrrrrrrrrr! Not what I wanted to hear
I felt the same way. I had high hopes and they were quickly squashed!
