I received my Bachelor from Eciggity today. They aren't even on the mainland and managed to get my order to St. Louis in 4 days. Angelcigs in CA can't complete that same feat in a week and half.

I am impressed with the Bachelor. Excellent build quality, and the tank arrived well packaged and clean....pretty much what I've come to expect from EHPro.

My ego prevents me from using a factory installed build, so I ripped it out and put my own in. I eyeballed the leg length and found mounting the coil to be easy. Wicking was no fuss either. I pulled the cotton through and clipped it at the edge of the deck. My build was 8 spaced wraps of 27ga kanthal with a 3mm ID, and I'm running this at 28 Watts with the airflow set for a loose MTL.

Flavor is excellent on the Bachelor! And for my first and only build on it, it seems to be wicking excellent as well, with no signs of leaking at this point. The draw is very smooth and quiet, and something you notice right away.

Only downsides, IMO, is that the AFC ring seems a little loose, and the tank is rather tall. I'd have given up some liquid capacity to shorten it a bit, especially seeing as it's so easy to fill.

I will probably have to order one of these for my wife, as I'd like to get her into something other then the 3 Lemo 2's she likes to vape. Great flavor from the Lemo's but I'm long past the "building coils is fun" stage and gravitating towards tanks that are easier to maintain and fill. The Bachelor fits the bill nicely!

Been testing coil diameters. I think this tank really shines with diameters above 3mm. It's not a cotton leaking issue, however. I'm not sure why smaller diameters don't seem to perform as well.

Just gave mine a bath and dried them out. Threw a 26/32 Clapton wrapped around a 3mm bit, 7 wraps @ 0.96 ohms.

Hot damn that's a fine vape! This has to be the easiest tank I've ever built.

That's an interesting point- I've always just stuck to 2.5mm in everything- am keen to try this now this evening with a 3mm clapton close to the airflow- thinking it may hopefully blow me away!

If your 510 pin on the Evic has been squatted down by taller connections, you can try taking a micro flat screwdriver and GENTLY wiggle it around the pin as you GENTLY lift it a tiny amount.

That's an old fix for an Innokin MVP2 pin. I just had to use it tonight on a Kbox 40 to make a connection and it worked like a charm.

I love this tank! Its an upgraded Rose v2 :)

There's a lot to love with this one.

I noticed something different on mine when I was watching a review video (VapinFagan). His tank had 2 black orings on the fill ports. Mine has a large white gasket that covers the whole top surface under the lid.

Maybe his was pre-production, or perhaps mine has a later production change? My serial is 1669.....

The Serpent is good but this is better in every way except looks for me, not that its bad looking at all. With a 3.2mm ID coil in there I don't even have to think about my wicking, I just stick it in the slots, trim it flush and its good to go, no leaking or dry hits. Top fill and juice control are so easy, I love it. Has anyone actually measured the volume?, FT lists it as 4ml but it seems to hold more than that to me, have been meaning to load up a syringe and test it.

Couldn't agree more with these comments, have been solely using this for the past couple of days and it's really growing on me. Put a 3mm Clapton in and definitely notice a difference to 2.5mm, the only thing I don't love about it is the looks!- the black seals do look better, but if they got some European or American designers (eciggity?) in to make a v2 and changed the name they'd be onto a sure fire winner!!! I wish though everything didn't have to be top full these days- I've personally absolutely no issues with opening an atty once a day to refill, and the juice flow and top fill mechanisms just add extra bulk....

Couldn't agree more! I'd love to see a Billow V2 with a Bachelor deck!

Well... this is only my third with it, but I love the hell out of top fill.
Certainly use them each more than once a day too.

I agree with you about the name though.
Most make sense, some like the Bellus are appropriate (yes, I think it's a beautifully simple aesthetic, even the cheese graters), but "Bachelor" ? SMH.

Now someone explain why this pre-installed 0.52 is sucking up almost 50w and 5v just to get a proper vape the same day I press the fire button.
Vapes fine, great flavor and vapor but... Is NiCh that slow to ramp-up? o_O
Or is it just a fatty? I should have had a closer look before I put it all back together and filled it up.

I pulled mine after about 30 seconds into vaping it. I think it's 20ga or a small paperclip. I've got 24ga Stainless in it right now and it's vaping like a champ. It has to be one of the easiest tanks to build and personally the look of the tank doesn't bother me at all.
