Thanks, Roxy--this one is on my list above; it doesn't have the DT adapter, but I guess I can live with that.

I've been looking at the Lemo Drop for months now--hoping for a V2. That skirt and the 23 mm diameter kept me from getting one (I hate overhangs :facepalm:).

But maybe it's time for me to just get one...

I like the skirt because I don't have to worry about dropping the fill screw. It doesn't overhang any of my regulated mods. If you need a matching mech, look at the Caravelas on FT, too.

Katya, you should look at the Lemo Drop. It ticks all your boxes except top fill. IMO it has better flavor than the kayfun, a bigger deck that's easier to build and a wide range of airflow options.

I might have this Erlk, but I'm not sure because I don't see a pic of the box:

Whichever one I have, the nano kit fits it.
If you got it from fasttech, you can log in into your account and check your order history and the SKU of the erlk you bought.

I forgot. But, yeah, I didn't quite recognize it when I looked at them.

Oh, wait...another member gave it to me so no, I can't.

Ok so going to put a FT order in today and pick up a bunch of various "stuff".

I'm trying to find a SS "nano/micro" tank for one of the Erls they offer... does such a thing exist? I can't seem to find any.

I always crack tanks and i have no need for more than 2/3mls of liquid in a tank at a time (nor do i want that size!)... am i out of luck with the Erls?

I did just "google find" some people who have used Kayfun full sized glass tank sections with the nano kits... looks, "not horrible" but i'm not sure how well that fits on there.

I just get my nano tanks from IBtanked. They're cheap amd available in a multitude of colors. I don't think FT has any Erl nano specific glass tanks.

I completely forgot about those guys! Only $5.00 a tank... can't beat that!

Now i just have to find a clone, buy the right nano chimney and hope it fits lol. And i gotta have that drip tip adapter.

I used this glass on my Erl, I had leaking issues ALL the time. I ordered an IBTanked glass and was skeptical at first. To my calibrated eye it appeared to be the same size as the FT glass, and about 0.5mm shorter than the plastic tank section. According to the measurements on FT the glass is a full mm shorter, thus explaining my leaking. Knock on wood the IBT has not leaked yet, guess my eye needs re-calibration.

Ok, I put the nano kit on mine along with the FT Kayfun quartz glass. Those glass tanks are cheaper than the IBTanked ones.

Is your Erl an authentic or clone? Only reason I ask is because it seems like there are 6 or so different clones on FT... Trying to find the best one... Which also fits a glass tank. ...... Half say they are 20.9 or so mm?!?

Yeah, see that, the kayfun glass fits my clone with the FT nano chimney. I had an IBTanked glass and it cracked from a hair difference compared to the authentic.

How's the fit!? Does it fit flush on the outside? Which Erl do you have... If a FT one which SKU if you don't mind me asking? It does look nice!

It fits perfectly. It looks like FT doesn't have my clone anymore :( I can't check the SKU to be sure because another member bought it. He didn't trust the wicking and gave it to me. Once I realized he gave it to me because it worried him, I gave him a Taifun.

Ah ok no worries! I'll have to research and find out which ones fit. More importantly FT needs to hurry up with that 1:1 Ubertoot lol!

I'm also using Kayfun glass with the FT mini-Erl (now discontinued, :( ). I made no oring or other changes, and have had no issues. While the glass does seems more prone to spinning/slipping on the orings but I have seem no consequences and had no issues. I am using the Kayfun Quartz Glass Tank on two different mini's.

That's the Erl I was planning on ordering before I noticed they stopped carrying it... Bummer! Some of the other clones look a lot different with big, thick top caps and stuff... That one is the most authentic/quality looking.... Or should I say was :/

Well, after several different builds and wicking variations, I've given my Erl clone a final cleaning and re-boxed it. (Angelcigs version)

The Flavor is amazing, but I simply can't get the wicking to keep up with the kind of vape that I expect, and I've lost patience with it. That, and it's cheap and ugly looking.

I've decided to give it to somebody that I don't like.

:laugh:

If it works, someone yo do like might be happy to get it.

It is ugly. But, not as ugly as the Flash e Vapor.
