Yeah, good question. Read that one clone does have the open draw pole (2mm @ deck opening) but don't know which; think it was a FT version. If we identify, we can request that FT stock for individual sales.

I have a build on FT mini so couldn't measure, but doesn't look like "open draw. Any others? What about FT's Silver box clone?

my mini came with an airhole that could just fit a 1/16 drill bit so theres that.

Wow. That thing is ridiculously overpriced. :/

Indeed. I don't know where else they can be acquired from atm though.

Does anyone know where to get a different positive airflow for these amazing clones? In the US?

I have a silver box clone. It wasn't from FT but the packaging looks identical (the one in my OP). I am expecting a pair of callipers shortly and will measure it to find out what size it is when I get the them.

I finally found the perfect drip tip to make my nano look absolutely ridiculous

Oh found it. This clone has a 2.3mm airhole -- and sells for $14.31. That should be large enough for most. Damn, FT is blocking paypal for purchase of another mini. And don't feel secure giving cc# to china based company.

There are comments in the discussion section that says it's not though :(

Cracked my PMMA tank today after dropping my mini. I have some glass sections on the way, but i would like to get another PMMA tank. Where is the best place to get one, quickly? The glass is coming via an old man in a row boat.

They're a $1.30 from FT so order some while you're looking. I know you can order glass from IBTanked.com. Maybe eBay? BTW, I like the Ucan when I'll be out and about, and the ERL might need a refill.

Oh rats! Personally I like current vape -- so I'm good for now.

Discussion here says "Drilled out the center pin to 2.4mm at center vent and 1.7mm at the side vents". And surely a less than $20 upgrade will arrive...

LV; thanks for the link, but I'm looking for a PMMA for the mini Erl at only about 24mm in height. The one you linked is 39mm, much to tall for the mini Erl.
I have a similar can for out and about and really like it, though it sems to be better suited for dripping. I just take the bottom off and fill my tanks with a good squeeze.

Is it possible to cut a little more thread on the chimney? The glass from FT is just a little to short and my O rings are having a hard time keeping things sealed up nice and tight.

Wouldn't it be easier to file down the chimney's top and the drip tip if it needs it?
Good points. I was a little frustrated yesterday and having leaking issues all day. Once I got home and tore it apart I realized what could and could not be done. Looked through all of my spare parts and found a perfect uber thin O ring, placed ontop of the top piece and existing O ring, sealed up nicely for now. Time to bring on the Cinful-Apple juice.

FWIW, I tried to switch back to my R91, nothing but dry hits even at low power. If I ever get the leaking fixed after refilling on this mini Erl, I'll be in paradice.

I've been having feed issues with my R91 too. Not sure why, it was working great when I first got it. Perhaps I need to tear it down and clean it up.

Regardless, I'm really looking forward to my Mini Erlk clone coming! It's apparently out for delivery today!
