Erlkonigin and Clone Comparison

[roxynoodle]

Ok, went to a smaller diameter coil so no monster wick this time. Working well, no leaks. And I filled fast enough not to have any come out the airhole

vape is about the same as my first build (very nice).

Got my 1st erl today from fasttech, got this one - https://www.fasttech.com/products/1910106

Well 1st the deck screws was total crap, you could just pull them out without even trying to unscrew them, lucky I had spare screws that did work. The 510 pin sticks out to far, so won't screw flush on my hana, but it is close enough though.

Seems from reading the erl threads, I got the wicking right and not getting any dry hits or leaking so far, but the flavor seems muted to me compared to my lemo, orchid and foggers, will give it more time to break in, but right now, not seeing the hype over the erl.

Hmm... Thx for the clarification. I doubt there is something like that for an evic s thiugh

The Lemo is made to hybridize with the Evic S. The bottom part with the 510 connection screws off.

A big thanks to Qorax for your brilliant tutorials!

Is that the Yiloong clone?

The elrk or Squape? The erlk is a genuine one, the Squape clone is the PMMA 1st logo'ed one FT sold and removed from sale.

I am not sure you can base any opinion with a clone there just to hit and miss, you roll the dice. Even buying 3 of the same SKU they might be ok or not, there no such thing as luck

Last year I bought 10 KFLs clones from 4 or 5 sellers only 1 was ok for me ended up buying 3 genuine Svoemesto KFL+'s V1+V2 still mediorce never liked them just not for me.

Anyone tried this clone ?

Got one on the way, I'll post up a review when it gets here.

Good, me to will see how it is, might do a side by side comparison. But I guess we just want to know how the threads and finish are?

Any idea who makes this one?

 

[Juggernaut666]

No idea, the original one I ordered took too long to come in so I switched to that one. Now I ordered the other one too. That makes 3 different FT clones I'll have LOL.

On the FC thread last night someone said the wick channels aren't cut on the top of the base for the Yiloong clone.

 

[Juggernaut666]

Haven't seen that, I'd like to see pics though.

FC is sending me a replacement base.

I was playing around with the bases last night to see why it's so damn loud. The base 510 part can be turned 90° but it makes it even louder. I roughly smoothed out the holes on the center pin but that didn't help even though it was rough. It looks like the base is the issue. Interestingly, the FC has a gap at the cutout of the 510 block and the FT doesn't. I got it so the FT is quieter than the FC but the draw is tightened up to about a KF.

I'll try to get pics when I really work on them with a dremel, file, etc.

If it comes with all those tips, it'd be worth getting just for parts.

 

[KTMRider]

They also make it in polished.

 

[redordead]

I like the look of them! [emoji106]

 

[roxynoodle]

I like that polished one.

 

[Juggernaut666]

Interesting...... yeah kinda like the polished one too, would look good on top of my Stingray


Links?

No idea where to get it. The first one is available on eBay for $35 from a US seller. I heard the base wasn't very good though. YMMV.

Exactly what I was thinking!

 

[folkphys]

No holes in the top-top cap?

 

[roxynoodle]

Oh, supposedly the Yiloong has a 2 part, adjustable 510 pin.
