It does give you options, you can use it in vw or tc modes.
Personally i never liked it in vw mode, it seemed to have a very narrow window between just right and too hot, but i love it in tc mode, which is what ive switched over to exclusively in the last 4 months. Its the best most accurate tc wire ive used, if you wrap 0.5 and above coils with, it in my opinion. Below that you can have spotty performance, ive tried all sorts of builds, but 0.5+ works best for me.
My standard build is 7/8 wraps of 26g 316L on 3mm for around 0.5-0.6 and between 185c-205c on my tc mods with manual tcr set to 0.00092. Warning: i do not chase clouds, but what i do get is enough.
Most consistent vape ive ever had, press the button, same vape every time. Thats all i need to not smoke.

Thanks, 2 coming from eciggity.
Watched a video on building this tank, looked incredibly easy. Especially the wicking.
Why, even I should be able to do it!
Ive pretty much been using mine non stop since I got it last Monday. I think I'm gonna try a 3.5mm coil tomorrow, and see where that gets me.
Well crap! I really do not like the looks of this atty, but the high praise I am hearing from you guys is just too much. I guess I just have to give in and order one. Mercy. I can always wear a blindfold when I vape it or turn off all the lights in the den. (sigh)
Got mine in Tuesday from FT. Pulled the stock coil immediately and gave it a bath. Did a 7 or 8 wrap 26ga 3mm spaced SS coil came out to around .65ohm. Wicking took a few tries to get the juice holes properly filled (trimming a bit long 1mm or so past the channels and tucked in worked for me).
After a few days on this tank, I won't be going back to my previous ADV Hurricane tank. Got dry hits on the Hurricane unless I dialed back the wattage, on this one I'm running a conservative 22w and loving it. Not huge clouds, because I don't care about huge clouds. It's very satisfying and no dry hits, NO LEAKS, and super easy top fill.
This puts the KF4 top fill/juice control to shame (sorry, I had many of them when they were THE THING). Deck access without draining the tank is easier than any I've had access to so far.
All around, a solid tank. For 20-30 dollars depending on exchange rate (canadian here) it's hands down better than the KF4 which cost MUCH more than this, heck even a clone cost more than this when I got my first one... Anyone that's a single coil fan ala KF decks won't be disappointed. Don't hesitate, GET IT if you're even slightly interested, you won't be sorry.
The bottom "post hole" cavity thing will be a bit to get used to if you're used to wrapping around a screw like me, or using regular post hole "velocity" decks. It's not bad at all once you get used to trimming the legs to the right length.
Sitting on a JayBo Reuleaux DNA200 with the black orings, it's really as good as it's gotten for me so far with my style of vaping.
Cheers

The great thing, is that the pros of this tank far outweigh any aesthetic cons.
Filling is easy and mess free. Wicking is a total no-brainer. (This tank wicks like a beast). The machining is excellent. The flavor is outstanding. I realized since getting this tank that I am going through more e-liquid then usual, but it is not a flaw....I just love vaping it so much, I'm vaping more often.
Aesthetics?
Nothing wrong I that category in my mind. It's a clean design that looks good and does what it needs to.
Oh, and it doesn't need a stupid vape band afc thingy on it... A win in my book.

I use that one that came with the Serpent on all my attys now.
Well my Bachelor came in today. It had the .5 Ohm coil in it already so I used it on top of my IStickTC 40W. Ran the watts from 14 on up to 22Watts. Got warm to very warm vape, fairly decent flavor. Pretty good but not outstanding not even close.
Has anyone gone single Kanthal A-1 up over 1 Ohm, say maybe in the 1.2 to 1.5 ballpark with any success? What did ya do? Wraps, diameter, wire gauge and so on, on plain old Kanthal A-1?
Thank you.

I found that an unwashed Bachelor gave an excellent machine oil flavor.... You may not like a good rendition of machine oil flavor. I didn't.
If you didn't wash the damn thing multiple times and rinse it in alcohol I seriously suggest that you do so because when it's clean it can do a great job with the flavor of other things beyond machine oil.

Very very true.
My interest though is as regards getting the coil up to about 1.2 to 1.5 Ohm range on single plain coil Kanthal A-1.
I guess you missed my post. Running 27 gauge kanthal with a 2.5mm diameter coil, one tank reading 1.10 ohms and the other 1.2 ohms. Ample vapor, loads of flavor and running it tightened down for MTL. Works fine
I removed the factory build immediately. It looked power hungry, and I prefer spaced coils for flavor.
My first and only build in the Bachelor is: 8 spaced wraps of 27ga kanthal at 3mm ID, which came to @ 1.4Ω. I've been using it around 25 Watts on iPV Mini II. Works perfect for me, and I've found no reason to replace it.
The included build is in fact power hungry, I typically vape around 30-35 watts & the ramp up time was too long. I've been using Ti or SS wire with great results.
I ordered mine on Thursday, can't wait for it to get here from Hawaii. Looks like everything I need in a tank: easy rebuilds, good top fill, single coil, and large(r) capacity than most of the tanks I have. Hoping to throw some stainless steel in this thing and be able to vape for days without taking my atty off my RX200.
Thanks to both of y'all. Exactly what I needed to know, both a great help. Just got some 27 ga. wire from KidneyP-- yesterday.
Thank you.
You can try to get ss wire from beekeeper suppliers. I can't really translate the word. They use the wire to build the honeycumb holders or something. It's dead cheap and they sell it corresponding to weight. Like 250gramms or 500gramms.
