I have 10 of them, most have been slowly discontinued, none of them were bad quality, well maybe the Yeahsmo, that one was slightly re-engineered by them for the worse. Of the ones that stood out, the one I linked is the last man standing of what was slightly better quality.

Another interesting adaptation of the Erlclones is the EK2 $12.34 EK V2 RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer (4.0ml) - glass + stainless steel / 21mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping A bit different on the air flow, and ships with a glass tank & metal tip. Used to be $9 which was a real bargain.

I would suggest the first one I linked in the previous post, and if you like the Erl design enough grab one of the above as well.

This was the one I initially suggested $11.85 RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer (8ml) - stainless steel / 20.9mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

The one I got was noticeably better then some of the others. It also had a recent price drop, I suspect it will see discontinued status soon.

The HotCig was also very nice, came with the nano kit as well, unfortunately I don't currently know anyone stocking them. Wotofoco was good as well, again hard to source now days, Focalecig may still have them, but think it was OOS last I looked.

The authentic China made Erlprinz is not bad, and pretty inexpensive, If you really like them you could also keep an eye out for an authentic, have seen a few here on classies in the $60 range, as well as a couple on Feebay.

For some reason, you can order the EK2s on fast tech with Pay Pal, but none of the other Erl clones. It is a PITA or I'd order some more of the ones ccwaters linked. The ones Angel Cigs had on clearance for $5 were actually very good, but they've since gone out of stock. The EK2s are pretty good, but you won't get as much air as you would with the regular clone.

Thanks for reporting back, ricks. I've almost pulled the trigger a couple of times on those Focal ones. Now I know to look elsewhere. I really want a few more for my vapocalypse stash. I saw those on Gearbest, but have never used them before.
Hoping the Gearbest ones will work. With the Focal ones, the tanks are very loose on them. I tried combining the 2 to make one work and it will not hold liquid. The tank spins too easily when put together. They are a POS!!

I've found on all of mine that you really have to crank them pretty tight to get a good seal. But if you get them tight and the tank is still loose, not much you can do about it.

What I like about the Gearbest ones (plus how cheap they are) is they come with both a delrin drip tip and a metal one. I like the metal ones a lot better. I think the delrin will wear out from taking them off and on all the time.
