I tried that my first one too. I'm thinking about polishing the air flow channels to see if smoothing out the airflow quiets it down. I almost don't hate it.

I think you've got it on quieting it down my friend. Get those chamfers in there and it should do the trick, just like chamferring the air hole on a KF does. This would apply to the clone as well as the authentic.

Ok, I definitely took more than 4 seconds to fill it. Guess I need to be faster. I was trying to gentle with pressure. Using a needle bottle (Nicoticket). Should I use a syringe? I keep getting a few drops out the airholes.

I fill all of my ErlKs without any leaking and without an afc ring installed. Don't rush it and yet do it quickly, if that makes sense.

The easiest way to quiet the atty is to remove the airflow control ring, slip an o-ring over the 510 and snug it all the way up, then reinstall the airflow control ring.

And what about those of us that don't use the afc ring at all? Hmm?

I think KTMRider is onto something with his polishing line of thought in that regard.

Yes, some of their bottles are quick and some are super slow. I've had a few that were so bad I had to squeeze the snot out of to get anywhere.

Guess I should get some needle bottles.

High VG liquids will be slower to squeeze out than high PG liquids.

I got a pack of 10 from FT for $3.40. The caps fit on most juice bottles. This was the cheapest way to get the tops.

I wouldn't recommend anything smaller than 16g for e-juice.

Oh, and concerning bottle/syringe tips. I use both. I forget the gauge on my syringe but I think it is 16. I also fill with My Baker Vapor plastic bottle tips without issue.

My link above for the 10pk of needle caps are for 30ml bottles, cap and needle cap. They fit perfectly on MBV bottles and most other vendors.

It comes with 2 - 5ml, 10ml, 20ml and 30 ml syringes and 2 - 14g, 16g, 18g and 20g 1.5" blunt luer needles. 8 syringes and needles total.

Damn! I didn't read the description. I thought that was only for the needle set. It comes with the syringes as well? Ordered!

Thanks again Bud! :toast:

I bought a set a few months ago when I was looking. Apparently, there's a law against selling syringes(!) in NJ so I couldn't get them from Duane Reade, CVS or Walgreens. Not needles, but syringes weren't allowed to be sold! Everywhere online were selling packs of 50 or more.

I only use the 10ml and 16g from that set but I've used 14g with the 30ml syringe to transfer juice and it's so convenient to have.


On the topic of useful gadgets, you guys should get a few of these at least:

Damn! That sux! Glad you were able to cop some online though. Again, thanks for the link.

I'm gonna have to retract my review of the FC clone.

I finished off the tank last night and cleaned it to see how to modify the base but as I was taking the coil off, I found one of the post screw holes was stripped on the top half so only about 1.5mm of space to thread. With a wire, that would only catch half a turn. I sent an email to FC last night and they want a video of it :facepalm:.

I have been reading through a lot of this thread and I think I need...want one of these. I'd rather not pay $160+ for the authentic. I have read about several problems with the clone and the Elprinz. Would you recommend the Erlk clone or the Erlprinz? I'd like one that doesn't leak when wicked properly and sits flush with my mod. I know there are quirks with almost all clones but I am hoping to find something quality for a reasonable price. Thank you!

From what I heard they have switched gears and are making the ErlPrinz in house now, because of the bad quality control issues they were having. Once they come back in stock it should be fine.
