I think the big buddha is good also, I just really like the plume veil style deck, not bad air flow if you take the screws completely out, but I have mine in to get a bit tighter draw with a better flavor. Trying different builds, first one was 2 24g kanthal at .25ohms now I have twisted 26g kanthal at .5ohms.
Which 26650 mod is that? ThxYou're preaching to the choirHere's my current family:
I just bought one of these,can't wait for it to get here,so i can throw a build on it and check it out.I've been really happy with the big buddha,but i like the way this one is more similar to the orchid style deck that i'm used to building,so this should be a real winner.
ditto that! 2mm is not large enough for my airflow preference either. I've drilled my orchid and foggers to 7/64 as well!
I ordered a stainless steel one on eBay yesterday, should arrive middle of next week. Very much looking forward to what kind of builds I can throw in it. Will be sitting atop a Congestus.
Mine will be delivered today! Tracking says out for delivery! I can't wait. I do like my big buddah but I think this deck might be a little better. I couldn't decide between the blue or stainless steel clear but I ended up just getting the clear. What's even better is my delivery of juice is also out for delivery today! I'm going to hook it up! I like my orchids so I think I'm going to like a giant orchid.! (The similar deck) I think that's a plus. Hope the flavor is good!! I'll let you all know later. I'm excited! !
If you like the orchid,then you will really like the evil eye,it's like an orchid on steroids haha.Huge deck to build on and great capacity.I got mine a while back,and i want to get another here soon,i really like these things.
Your so right! I love it! It's a super easy build and it hits so smoothly! It's completely awsome!!! I am very impressed that they give a EXTRA GLASS tank! Super sweet! Vapes like a dream and fits beautifully on my IPV3 150 watt box. I was afraid it was going to be too large but it's made so nicely it works perfectly! I've got it filled with some vapor tief cut off which is a crazy fruit blend and the taste is coming through beautifully. It wicks EXACTLY like the orchid. I got a .7 build running at 30 watts and that's a good spot for me. I might kick up the watts just a bit. Can't believe I even gave myself a little nicotine rush with it. defiently will be buying another! Eupro did a great job! It blows my big buddah out of the water!! Happy happy happy!! Anyone who is thinking of getting one, what are you waiting for?? It won't disapoint! A super smooth vape! Great flavor and made very well! I got number 74. the evil eye is a winner! I wouldn't compare it too the big buddah , only tank size. It's defiently like a giant orchid, which I happen to love!! If you don't like the orchid, then don't get this tank. It's like a giant orchid! Totally sweet!!! I'm very happy.it's a really nice looking tank too! Couldn't ask for more! The adjustable air flow is great for me! The drip tip is nice as well. The glass is good and thick. Tank has NO leaking or issues! I highly recommend! Best wishes!

Where did you buy your's from?The only place i have found them so far is ebay,and they keep pulling the listings,they are doing away with vape related sales on there,and every time i see one listed,they pull it within a few hours,so i need to find somewhere i can buy another one without having to wait for it to pop up for an hour haha.
So mine arrived today... and I can't get the darn thing apart. The first video review of the original BB I checked on Youtube mentioned how difficult it was to disassemble when the bottom o-rings aren't lubricated, so I'll definitely keep that in mind when the time comes.
I was about to put it in the freezer to see if I can get the metal parts to contract but if anyone here has a better suggestion, I'm all ears!
edit: So I'm halfway there, got the tank part off but the base and deck plate parts are still super cuddly. I'll figure it out, just don't want to scratch anything.
edit 2: OK, I think I'm just an idiot. Looks like what is two separate pieces in the original Big Buddha are now one piece on the Evil Eye version. At least I didn't try anything too drastic!
edit 3: Finally up and vaping with it. Accidentally ruined both coils by over-tightening the negative post screws, so I'll be careful in the future. Also remembered the best way to wick it is to thread the material through, pull them straight up so they look like Trolli dolls, screw the chamber cap down, then trim the wicks and stuff them down inside. Just a simple 0.5Ω dual coil build on 26g kanthal for now but I will definitely be trying some twisted wire in the near future.

The big Buddha is one of the most underrated rtas out there. I carved 2 more juice canals on mine and run .6 ohm build. It puts out better flavor than any rta I've tried. I'll probably grab one of these and bore out the canals with a 1/8" burr bit for it will be more like an aqua. Should be amazing
OK, bored out my air channels to 3/32" or about 2.77mm (caliper reading on the rba after drilling). The airflow is now more to my liking. Nice thick vape and the flavor is still there. For you guys out their who would like more airflow I would suggest drilling out the channels. A drill press would be a good tool to help you on this one. BTW I drilled on the holes that held the air adjustment screw that goes through the center pin and not those side holes that Ehpro drilled, I think Ehpro's engineers should redesign that part....you listening Ehpro.
Anywho, my Evil Eye (#0011) has a massive airflow close to the Goblin (for comparison) and no leaking as of yet. On my Sig 100w, 26g 8/9wraps, 2mm bit at 0.5ohms, J-cotton I can take it to 40-45w with no dry hits but 40w is a little to hot for me. I want to take some pics but I've been using it a lot lately, I'll wait when I need to change out wicks and I'll take some pics.
You know what to do if you have any questions....

@Mangomonkeyman, You are so right with the BB, I love my Buddhas. Hey bro would love to see how you added those new juice channels. How did you do it and what tool you used. Wanted to do that same thing. Thank you sir.
Oh, I already bored out my Big Buddha's air channels to 1/8" and this thing is even better that before. I thought the narrow chimney would be a bottleneck for air flow but it was not. I have two BB's one I bored out 3/32" the other at 1/8" and compared air flow on both and I must say...WOW!!!! Their is a difference in the flow and the chimney can handle it. Dang, I haven't even posted this on the BIg Buddha thread yet. I take some pics later and post them there. No need to hijack this thread for that.
BTW I think 1/8" will be the limit on boring out the Big B. You'll see in the pis later.

If anyone knows of a suitable replacement for the small o-ring that fits in the chimney cap, please share! Mine has broken in one spot; might still be able to use it but I'll need a new one eventually. I'm searching on Fasttech but they don't seem to have the exact size I'm looking for.
