I've read the posts about the leaking from this tank.
As self-proclaimed 'King of Leaks', I decree that this tank is the only tank I've ever used that has not leaked.

Not once, not even a little.
3.5mm spaced coil, 7mm KJD, cut flush with the deck.
I won't read replies to this as if someone says it couldn't work, it will stop working.
Same reason I don't fly on planes, once you know it's impossible, it is.

That can only mean one thing I guess, the king is dead!

Long live the queen...?

Got a pack of the iJoy TSS coils in today from Lightning Vapes (the iJoy version of the notch coil) and tried it out with the Bachelor. Very pleased – the ramp up time is next to zero, and the 3.5mm coils fit perfectly in the Bachelor.

It’s a little challenging running them in wattage mode since the ramp up is so quick it’s easy to get a dry-ish hit. I’m finding it works best in temp control.

Only been playing with it for a short while, but so far I’m really impressed with how those coils work with the Bachelor.

If only I'd bought a mod that did SS in TC mode

Ooo, I'm so glad that I have a couple of TC mods that do SS... Lovin' my Evic VTC Minis and got a Pico 75W on the way, too. :thumbs:

Haha, I'm not really complaining. I only got my first mod a few weeks ago and I'm absolutely loving my Evic VT.

Plus now I still have a great excuse to shop around for a more up to date back-up unit ;)

I really like the looks of that little Pico, it definitely is in my top 3 of mods to watch. But I'm still shopping around and curious to see what else will come out this year, no rush.

It's worth playing around with SS in Ti TC mode.

It's the exact same procedure as using Ti in Ni TC mode... turn the max temp down.
In that case it's around 70-100 F, you'll have to play with it to find an offset for SS in Ti mode.

You'll get temp protection, but almost certainly lose dry hit prevention as the calculations are now off. Though I've never pushed it that far. But it does work for TP at least.

I've not managed to get SS to temp protect properly in Ni mode though.
For me... I run out of temp adjust at the lower limit while it's still too hot. YMMV.

Ti Mode to the rescue (in a pinch). :p

I've read about people (you maybe?) experimenting with SS in the VT thread, but the results didn't sound great from what I remember. But I guess I could order some wire just for the fun of it.

Did you use 316, or will I perhaps have a better chance of success with a higher grade?

My only loose SS is 316L from Unkamen, and I know the Crown heads are 316 as well.
Don't recall using anything else. Though I take your point... 316 is not the best SS, not sure why we've come to use it the most.

As to SS in Ti mode...
It's a half dodgy practice and just done because, well... TC.
It's likely to depend greatly on the particular mod... and luck.
If the need arises, it's just a possibility. Not something for say... purchase planning. ;)

Gotcha. I'll have a look what I can find then, 316 is probably the only one I can get locally anyway.

Thanks for the pointers, I might be back for more once I start experimenting

Accidently filled mine without closing the jfc yesterday, the flooding was inevitable. I disassembled, washed it and put it to dry overnight.

I assembled and wicked it this morning and haven't had a juice ring since. Have probably vaped around 15ml in this one today.
:rickroll:


Woohoo! :banana:


How is the hinge on the top cap holding up? Is it still nice and tight after weeks or months of use?

Fryslan boppe :p

I don't own one long enough to answer that for you, but if I remember correctly only one person posted that his cap came off so far, and that happened when he dropped it.

Yeah, baby! :banana:

I think I'm going to order one. I've always been a single coil tank guy and the Bachelor looks very easy to build on.


I'm only about 20km north from you :D

I don't have much to compare it to but it is real easy to build on. It does require a bit larger coil to provide you with enough wick to keep it from leaking though. Or well, larger then I was used to coming from a Toptank anyway.

Idk how they can still sell tanks with more then 2ml capacity but E-wolk has them in stock and ships real quick.

Watch that little o-ring in the cone-shaped part of the chimney closely when you clean it though, or you'll be cleaning up some e-liquid

I'm used to building 3.5mm coils (on the subtank as well), is that large enough?

E-wolk is actually located in Germany, that's how he does it. And shops have until November of this year to clear existing stock

I'm a shipwright (scheepstimmerman) and at the shipyard we have tons of o-rings from really tiny to very large. I have a never ending supply of them.

OK, 20km as the crow flies then (just outside Leeuwarden) :)

Wow, you manage to fit coils that large on the Subtank RBA?! I usually top out @2,5mm on that one. I haven't really used my Toptank much since I got this one though. I find it lacking flavor greatly since I've gotten used to the Bachelor
24462279700_2cc68e3b1d_o.gif


But yeah, that will do nicely. I make 3mm ish coils for my Bachelors (I use titanium and they always turn out a little larger then I wrap them because of the springiness).

That's funny, both orders I got from E-wolk came from within the country and I had to send my Bachelor to Oosterbeek when returning it to exchange the first one I got
24664313681_c43e9e55b4_o.gif


That's great! Perhaps you can put together little o-ring kits for the Bachelor and sell them on the forum once you got the sizes down :D
