Well it's time to admit my complete failure to get this thing to work without leaking. It has been DE-comissioned and and sent to the landfill. There are enough things to fiddle with in my life.

It took me 6-8 maybe 10 variations to make it happen. I finally think I got it.
Give it try again when you are over the frustration.
For me it's the complete opposite of anything I do on other rta's

Need advice please on Bachelor Nano

I just got it today and am getting use to it. this is my first rta with juice control.

There seems to be a time lag of about 4 seconds before the coil fires.
I am using the coil that came with it I am trying wattage's around 20 to 25
If I chain vape it , it seems ok

Thanks in advance Larry :)

It's a big coil, haven't tried it myself but it takes some time to heat up I guess.

Just make one with a thinner wire of your choice if that's not what you want.

You need more watts. The coil that came with it is a very thick gauge. The coil itself is really large.
Bring it up slowly until you get the flavor and ramp up time to where you satisfied.

As they said... it's a hefty wire. For 0.5 ohm, it's more like a paperclip. :p

I used mine for a few days at first... it easily sucked up over 50 watts.
It'll work fine a tad lower, but you'll have to live with the ramp-up time when it's cold.

Today, my son accidentally knocked my Bachelor tank off the counter, on to the kitchen floor...and it didn't fair well.

The base was knocked crooked, which I was able to press back together.

But now that it's back together, I notice the tank has a wobble to it.

I'm wondering if anyone else has noticed a tank wobble on their Bachelor?

Maybe it's always been there?

No tank wobble on mine. Sorry to hear that yours met with misfortune.

I'm really enjoying this setup. The Nano has been performing really well. Only downside is that I have to fill it several times a day.

The stock coil seems to need a lot of power to ramp it up and that is affecting battery life. Need to build some 26g SS coils. That should be a better build on this setup.

Hi all, I just want to give an update on the full size bachelor. After experiencing loads of leaking using 26g and cotton bacon for wicking (it's what I have on hand) I decided to make up a quick coil of 28g on 3mm diam, lost count on my wraps but it's ohm'ing out at 1.9, anyway I remembered I still had the cotton that came with my kangertech tank. (if someone could tell me what kind of cotton that is I'd appreciate it) since using that cotton I have yet to get any leaking and the flavor is coming through absolutely amazing...

The only grip I have with this tank is the top fill is sometimes very hard to slide open. It's a good and bad thing I suppose...lol no accidental openings....I should ad somehow I did manage to get a hair line crack in my tank, so on to the spare.

@Sue1971 .. The cotton that comes with most RBAs/RTAs is Japanese Organic Cotton. What wicking material do you usually use for your tanks? I use Koh Gen Do Japanese Organic Cotton and it works well for me.
I've been using the same bag of "cotton bacon" I bought from "LV" 2 years ago...I still have quite a bit of it left. But I was getting so much leaking in the tank using it. Just couldn't get the right amount in it I guess. But I find the cotton that came with my kangertech easier to work with.

Funny, mine opens if you breath on it.
Guess someone has one that closes just right.
I seem to have resolved all of my issues I'm sure you'll get it right soon enough.
Stick with it !!!

I have recently had 2 glass tubes split unexpectedly on the Bachelor while disassembling/assembling the tank. Kind of a disappointment.

the top fill is sometimes very hard to slide open

The trick when opening is to press down on the lid slightly to unlatch it, and do the same when closing to latch it back in. The silicone top-seal provides the springy pressure to keep it latched.

That said, I think the little machine requires careful handling. The metals are a bit soft, so I think the hinge pin for the lid can work loose. Another worry is to not disturb the hemispherical walls of the cup area of the base. If they get bent or compressed, you'll lose the seal against the flat O-ring in the chimney dome and be leaking.

Again, this is my first RTA so what do I do with the wicking here, before I put the base on the tank? Twice now, when I've had leakage, when I've removed the base from the tank the o-ring came out with the base and was pinched in the channel with the wick. I'm trying to not have very much pre-soaked wick outside the channel and almost none above the cup area, but it seems I'm doing something wrong.

I'm loving the flavor. Don't even wanna use my GS-Tank and Triton Mini. Yuk!
I also use Koh Gen Do JOC. Great stuff.
