I know--but I thank you anyway! Do you still like it?
I still want that drip tip adapter though...
Maybe I just don't really want the Erl and I'm just looking for excuses not to get one.
I'll be busy with my new Lemo Drop for a while, anyway.

Thanks for the heads up--I was looking at this one because it has the adapter.
I'll probably get this one, eventually.

Did you drill out only the center shaft or also the 2 air intake holes in the pole?
I drilled the center shaft with 3/32, then used a diamond Dremel but to widen it arbitrarily you would be surprised by how airy an erlk can get [emoji51] enough for me to finally bring it back to my rotation!

Man, I hope I can do that too... After using my Squape R and kayfun v4 - the Earl just sits there. The draw is not enjoyable for me. If I can widen that air tube - it might make it back in to my rotation too!!! THANKS FOR THE INFO!
No prob
doing so brings the draw very close to a k4 with the sub ohm kit. I can help you with it if you'd like Burping out loud using Tapatalk

Man, I might take you up on that. I'll have to do some checking when I get home. If it looks like something I can handle, or something better left to those with better toys.. I mean tools!
Been enjoying the 2 Erl Nano clones from FT just before they stopped selling them. Picked up a few glass sections from IBTanked for them but definitely going to get a few vape bands or something similar to protect the glass as I already broke one. That's the one negative of how it's setup where the tank has no protection at all at the edges, it's not even like it dropped it I had just knocked it over sitting on top of an 18500 mod.
Sorry but I have to disagree ...
I just bought three of those from Angelcigs myself. Along with one from fasttech that was $21 (sku # 1926100). All three are terrible compared to the fasttech one.
The tops don't fit easily. Have to use pliers to tighten flush, and remove.
Had to take a dremel to the wick rings so they would fit.
It's impossible to lossen the drip tip without something to grip it with.
The deck screws had to be replaced with spare Kayfun screws.
They keep weeping a little liquid which I think is because the oring on the chimney doesn't fit tight enough against the top cap. So air is seeping in.
Oh and had to take the dremel to the plastic air control ring because it couldn't shut off the air for filling which I like to do. Or get the draw for mouth to lung that I like.
With shipping the 3 Angelcigs came out to the same price as the 1 FT ErlK and they don't come close to working as well.
With the fasttech everything fits and works perfectly. I've had it longer and never the slightest leak. I like it so much I'm planning on getting an erlprinz or two to support original company and using the angelcigs for spare parts. At least the parts that are worth using. Wish I would have just gotten two at FT.

Hehe possibly my favorite set up using the drip tip adaptor. Seamless!

What drip tip is that? Love it!

Well the angelcig Erlk's seem to work so long as I don't use the top oring. Seriously. The top is so tight that it doesn't leak even without the oring on top. The leaking I was getting was because the AFC ring wasn't closing off all the way. I took a dermal to it and now I can close it to fill them. Works better. But hey they were only $5. I wasn't expecting it to function properly without some fiddling with it. The other one from Fasttech (their most expensive one) has been working perfectly since I got it.
I'm waiting on the glass tanks from FT now, I have 3 Erlk's from FT - 1 of them has a base I can not take apart to save my life. (can't remove the air flow pin or the 510 threaded section no matter what I've tried)
I was never able to get it to perform the way others have sadly..........however I was having an issue with my SqR and got some good and simple advice on that thread which solved my wicking issues on the SqR... I may give the Erlk another try when the glass tanks arrive (and hopefully fit)

Search the RTA sticky thread. I did a build tutorial. Maybe it will help; hope so.
Got the nano-kit and the Kayfun quartz glass mini tank from FT the other day.
The glass tank was a tad off dimension. Cracked it the first try putting it together. DOH!
The nano-kit works fine... but I prefer the regular Erlk - it's so light and 'small' already, banished it to the shelf.

I ordered a nano chimney and the kayfun glass also. Sorry to hear it cracked.
I have an authentic Erlk now and I'm going to check if the kayfun gllass fits that out of curiosity. If not, no biggie since the IBTanked ones do.
Please report because I also have an auth (erlp) and have two glasses on my way.

No problem . I think a chimney will have to be on though for me to check vacuum. So this test be dependent on whether the clone nano chimney fits without any possibility of damaging threads on my authentic base. I can't afford to order the authentic nano kit yet.

Diameter wise... It's almost perfect. It sits well, doesn't leak but the glass isn't exactly pressed tight because when you attempt to unscrew the erlp from a mod, the glass will start to slip before there is enough pressure / force to unscrew the base from the mod.
I'm looking for some thicker o rings that will hold the glass tighter.
