Hmm.. I've got the ErlPrinz which has the larger air-flow, and I've kinda got used to it. :)

Did they not release a larger air-flow version when the clones first came out? Could have sworn I saw one back in the day (couple months ago!).

yes they did and, I ordered it but when it arrived it had the small air hole/tube. so somewhere along the line they switched vendors for that particular ATTY :(

Just pulled mine out of Santa's mail delivery box. Really impressed so far. But man this is one tough deck for me to build on. Please point me to where I can find build tipes specific for this deck.

It's a MUCH smaller deck than the pictures make it look like! In the OP, at the bottom there is a bunch of links for different builds.

Just be careful with the pmma tank Kiwi...I built it and had the best vape with kanthal and after a day rebuilt it with Ni200 and this time might have overturned the tank ( or not) .. But it cracked and leaks without able to hold vacuum. Now it is sitting in shelf till I get a glass replacement.. But otherwise a quality build.

Couple of things:

1) fasttech has listed the chimney and/or nano tank section for purchase! Yay

2) has more people received the nano erlk? How's it! Mines sitting back home and I won't be able to play with it till after 6 jan :(

I ordered the nano tank section. Haven't received it yet, but someone on FT was showing it off with a glass tank...that he pulled off of FastTech's full size glass conversion kit for the Kayfun. Guess who ordered both? :D

Would really like a glass tank. Planoman, did that require modification or was it plug n' play replacement? Could you share link or stock number? And Merry Christmas everybody!

Mini-Erl arrived today -- and sitting at a bin at the post office. Rats... No sign of my amod / wotofo Erl from EC; processing was first delayed and now ten days showing "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment". Ugh.

Here's the thread he's talking about. Mini RTA with full sized Quartz glass: FastTech Forums

The glass on there is about 1mm shorter, but the Erl Nano still tightens down perfectly fine. No modification needed.

Just to let you know Dusty, I used an authentic Open Draw Posi Pole on my clone and it fits perfectly.


Good to know, but I don't have one of those. All I have is the ErlPrinz, and that came with the wide open draw to begin with. If I'm going to order the open draw post, I may just go in for another Prinz instead. :)

Well, I ordered 2 open draw posi posts with my last order of an ErlK and an ErlP. The Prinz has a somewhat different base so I couldn't use one of them. I'd be willing to part with it if you're interested.

Bumping this thread to let everyone know that Angel has reduced the price of their silver-boxed 1:1 clone.

$10 + S&H

EK Style Rebuildable Tank Atomizer (8ml) 1:1

I have two and LOVE them.

Happy New Year!

Have you tried using the IBTanked glass tubes on those? I have a few clones with top caps that are a little too wide to fit

It worked on mine, but a couple days ago, the whole thing just cracked. I don't know why. I hadn't dropped it. I find it hard to believe I overtightened it.

So I'm getting the nano kit. The quartz glass at FT is like $1 per tube.

I've been reading around and it seems like many of the clones have the top cap which are a little too wide, so torquing it down stresses the tank.

In 2 of my clones, I could never hand tighten the top down filly such that it sits snug on the tank. Did it using a tweezer, and it also randomly cracked after a few days with no drops.
