buy a tank from a company that won't supply replacement seals? Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice shame on me.

So what is everyone doing on the top fill hole o-ring? I see this one failing with no replacements that I know of. Unless anyone knows another way. Other than that, the nano version is a great RTA, I've been using it a couple days no leaks at all and great flavor. Good buy.

I guess that's the only upside to scoring all those leaky .......s, I have plenty of spare parts available.... :p

If nr. 5 turns out to be a solid one they might just fool me 6 times, I still need a working black Nano too

@OhTheAgony hopefully the o-rings will turn them into no-leak bachelors. :lol:

I found the TC coil that came with the BN to be lacking in flavor, so I put in (as suggested by someone to me earlier) a 28g kanthal (all I have), 3mm ID, parallel .8ohm, and it's fantastic. Still no leaking. It's my quick nic fix setup. My Tobeco KF5 is the all day vape @1.7ohms .

I kinda forgot I ordered those. Yes, that would be very nice, I hope they arrive soon. Glad to hear the fix holds up on your end

I've never tried any of the stock coils, they still sitting in the boxes together with all those blue o-rings, lol

I've just started looking in to Kayfuns actually, I have a few on my FT wishlist but not sure which version to get yet (there's so many of them!). It's between the Mini V3, the Lite Plus V3 or the V5. The Lite looks best to me, but the other two are from a more reliable brand from what I gather.

Hehe no deal :) Already have the black serpent mini ;-) and the Bachelor has really grown on me, put a different coil in it and I quite like it now actually...so I'll think I'll keep it in my grubby paws....

Yeah, I'm still waiting for them to arrive but Cirus found some at FT that apparently work well: link

Good for you, enjoy!

The paint on mine started chipping on day one so I was reluctant to offer that one anyway, otherwise I would have send you a pm already ;)

Yes, that's what stopped my leaking.
-Bachelor Nano-
Well, I received some 15*13*1mm o-rings from FT.
SKU 2066603
$0.80 Rubber O-Ring Seals for E-Cigarette (20-Pack) 20-pack - 15*13*1.0mm (OD*ID*W) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Replaced and lubed with vg juice the two stock clear o-rings (14*12*1mm) on the deck/base threads with the above. No more leaking, even leaving JFC wide open and AF open.
Just reporting that I still have no leaking/seeping.
Still no leaking.

I'm loving the 5. No leaks, easy to build and wick, 4ml capacity.

I must have overlooked this post yesterday.

I thought I'd start with an older one and work my way up from there, haha.

The one people seem to love the most is the mini V3 from what I gather, so that one has me curious. I want to know a little more about the differences before I decide though.

So I had this nice citrusy flavor in the background with my banana-custard juice after cleaning yesterday. I DIY but don't have any citrus flavorings so I guess I didn't rinse it out well enough after cleaning, lol.

I expected a rather soapy taste from the liquid eco-friendly dishes soap I always use but it's rather nice actually, I think I'm gonna order some citrus flavoring to try :D

I also got some long awaited vape-mail today

That is a Cuboid mini in silver. Build in battery though.

I got the square tank that came with it too but can't recommend it, so you might as well save yourself some money and just get the mod alone.

Thanks, I was hoping it had SS316 capability also and it does!!! I have to get one but not sure what color to get now... Too many to choose from.

YW :)
Not just SS316, it even does TCR! :banana:

I googled a lot of pictures and watched a lot of YT vids before deciding on a color myself, so good luck with that, haha.

I kinda like the gold too but wish it was a metal finish like the silver version instead of paint or other type of coating.

I might get another one in black too though, but I'm hoping they'll release a newer version with a clock in a couple or months or so, like they did with the VTC mini and Evic VT, so I'm holding off ordering another one for the time being.

I'm using titanium myself but the TC is really smooth with this little guy, nicest TC vape I've experienced so far probably.

Alright, I just started testing my 5th specimen of the Bachelor family, the one I got from the Gearbest flash-sale.

Some prayers might be in order
24462279700_2cc68e3b1d_o.gif


Initially it started gurgling right away, which had me fearing the worse (my good Nano never gurgles). But it seems to have past now somehow so guess I just put too much liquid on the coil before closing it up.

I had one that didn't start leaking until I let it sit overnight though, I think it was the first one, so initial testing ain't over until morning comes. Wish me luck please :(

Is your new one a nano?

Yes, all are Nanos except for the first two, and the second one of those was just a warranty replacement for the first one. Unfortunately I couldn't get a warranty replacement for the warranty replacement :p

Topcap is a bit loose on the new one by the way, first one I've ever received with a loose topcap. Even if I only adjust the JFC it starts opening already.

But I have more of those to replace it with if it holds up otherwise.

Well, crap :(

There was just a tiny bit of juice left when I put it down yesterday, but it sneaked off again during the night even though the JFC was closed.

I can't wait for those o-rings to get here!

I'm actually using my Toptank right now, my good Nano acted funny and then stopped working last night. I suspect a loose or broken coil-leg but haven't had time to look in to it yet.

I think I'm just gonna cry a little first....

Just put the tight top of my good Nano on the new one. I would say for science, but frankly I'm just to lazy to open up good-Nano to see what's going on inside right now, lol

I just noticed a difference on the new one though, it has two stop pins, one in each air inlet. Good-Nano just has one in one of the air-holes. Apparently they do keep working on these at least. SN on the new one is in the 23.000
