Yeah, love when everything is wicking right, get a dry hit, frak, drained already?? Least that's always the first thought that pops into my mind whenever I get a dry hit on any of my tanks.:D

Once again, frak with it till it wicks right works:lol: the least sought out answer, but usually the #1 solution, for all wicking poblems. Glad she's wicking for yah, now throw a wide bore tip on and really vape the town foggy, or something like that:D

I just hit it with no drip tip if I want a warmer kick. Now that's wide bore. . Lol . Gets me a warmer hit opposed to the extra inch from the drip tip.

You right it's the least sought out answer.

She's vaping great and I'm really happy with it in tank mode now. I've got just enough on the deck and it doesn't spill out on its side right away like if I put 20 -30 drops in dripper mode.

No, not talking about warmer hit, talking about improved vape flow, especially if vaping at 0.4 ohms or lower. Find wiith the wide bore's don't have to remove the screw to get the extra flow I want, just using the larger air screw. Yeah find once the transfer wicks are up to the task, it vapes the same whether tanked or straight drip. I still like to break in a fresh wick in drip mode, till its' seasoned, because can super saturate the build wick, fill the well up, large well at that, and crank it up and do the Speed Seasoning Vape boggie. Or something lie that:D

Am very pleased it's working well in tank mode for ya, just a matter of not giving up. Kind of like my ramie dance:D

Vape long and Prosper.!!!

The flashi has been performing absolutely flawlessly for me. It is a great vape. It's holding its own against some top drippers at equal wattage. 20-24w .. That's tanked up with 5ml too! The air screw out is a near perfect draw for me. The dripper mode really rocks on this too, with more intensity.

Dice how does it hold up against the magma with equal wattage ? I sure the magma pulls ahead after the 40w-50w mark due to airflow.

To be Quite Honest about it, the flashi is undoubtedly, the best single coil dripper or tank, currently on the market. The huge drip well, and high large build post make it one of the most flavorful, consistent, huge vape available. Now add that you can throw some serious juice on board, ease of build, refill, able to test vape, break in and season the build in drip mode before ever putting the tank on, come on, just doesn't get much better in simplicity and quality vape.

Wile the magma can put out some bad azz serious vape, have mine pushed over 100 matts without a problem, :blush: what can I say:confused: the flashi can easlly handle 90, but at 30 watts is pretty fraking sweet.

Kind of funny, kid at work asked me some time back, say's hey, if I give you 2 bills, can you make me a cloud chaser?? All I could respond at the time was Really?? and was almost like high horse about it. Kid is using a ego something and a c something 4, 5, 3, ?? something, cute little ego though. But he want's to side step the path and journey.

Took me almost 2 months to decide and set him up, heck had these Hana clones just sitting around, only vape the blue TARDIS box when watching the Doctor, so I assembled the red hana like 30 with a woody skinz, my FT flashi clone, a spare flash drip cap + tip, usb cord, 50 mils of 3 Craps House Select Juice, and filled the tank with Gingerbread Cheesecake, set it up wit a 1.8 ohm build, hemp fiber wick, 3 extra tension wrapped coils, ~15' 28 gage Kanthal, a decent amount of both degummed hemp fiber, a boiled off cotton balls. a E.Pruple 35, and presented in a nice gift box.

Frak, cranked it up and powerlock the box at 30watts and said, here vape that. Think he umm, well, let's just say, his reaction was orgasmic. When I got it all built, wicked and set up, took a vape, and yeah, was way to good for this dude. Was hard letting one of my kids go, but frak, he now has a better understanding of what is vape possible.

The only thing that tops the Flashi in my collection is the Gus Estia 510. The Big Dripper, both Authentic and clone, will challenge flashi, but then Big D is a dual coil dripper with juice injection tank dripping system, and the Estia, well, tri-coil, perfect for verts, 6 wick channels, air and juice control, and with Fatty tank can hold up to 5 ml's of juice. Estia, well, is in a class all her own. Just saying, there is something special about those greek ladies, they just know, oh, how to Satisfy!! Serious Top Contender rba, in any category, she reigns supreme.

The falshi, at any level one vape's at, will prove to be a keeper and a contender, a great addition to anyone's collection.

^yeah... I was about to be like...." like dice, I have a Gus Estia."

I figured you'd mention it though.. I've been selling it the past couple of weeks...so:)


I've tried screwing up a build on the estia... I get some minor drops fall out when I have wicks removed from channels..but that's it... I've had coils right on top of airholes, top and bottom filled without concern of pressure...tried screwing up my coils by trapping the negative legs in different directions..it isn't happening.:)

I'm sure those Greek ladies are high maintenance. Meaning they cost some doe. For the 22.00 I spent on this clone, I mean damn, can't be beat for a cheap date. Lots of people pass on it. I'm just trying to get the flashi some love...

For my SIF budget I think I'm set with the flashi clone. Best of both worlds. If anything I'll pick another one up as a spare. But I'm hearing reports that it becoming hard to find. - Haven't checked myself yet.

It Just vapes till empty, no leaks and a great draw. Great vapor and flavor is tops. Once I put mesh to it, it didn't take long to dial it in for a perfect feed.

Well K, when asked a question, I have to fully qualify it and put everything in perspective. And the Estia is in a class all it's own, but seriously, the flashi can and does deliver the goods. For an all around fantastic simplistic design, that just works, it's way under appreciated in the states, and should be one of the top, first rba's to own and learn to build on. While remaining a star in anyone's collection.

But, yeah, fell in love with Estia at first sight, didn't care how much she cost, I had to have her potential in my life. Oh, me 510 base finally showed up, turn's out me build is 0.25 ohms, was aiming for 0.20-0.25, so thought that my guess was close enough.

Yeah Jeremy, agree totally with you, can't go wrong with the flashi, thinking the V2's are just being all sold out so they can release the V3 clones. Heck, still have a spare full tank set up, was thinking on getting the V3 base, and would have a flashi authentic clone, or something like that.

Understand, just saying build wise and quality, ft's is better than the Enhpro, and actually like the tab lock down over the shear pin. But then, the ft didn''t come with a dripping cap, but had a spare cause the vender sent me a replacement 510 build deck since the Ehpro's received was faulty, and was sent with the drip cap and long d.tip. Which works well on the authentic and all the clones.

The nurling is rough on the tobecco, that's for sure. I guess I did need to file taper the pin slot on the cap. But the vape quality is good works well. I figured for 20.00 I can't complain.

Edit to add - forgot, I also had to grind the tank air tube down so it wasn't over the wick ports.. But once done it's performed great. The flashi concept works.

Well there you go, clones, regardless who makes them, one is always at the mercy of the qcg. Quality Control Gods. It's a fraking crap shoot. :D Out of 5 Ehpro purchases, 2 have been outstanding, the rest basically junk and not used. Some parts do come in handy, :lol: Tobeco not a fave, but it's numbers game, hope for 3 out of 5, and usually get 2.

Yeah, the build quality on me ft clone is precise, same finish as the real deal, and the plumbing matched the most precise and vaped up to authentic standards. It's the one I set up a co-worker with the Hana clone. Powerlocked at 30, tis a hard vape machine to beat. I almost couldn't let go of it.

Did ask him today, in the vapers corner, of the employees Vape/smoke break room, any buyers remorse? He simply took a big fraking vape and huge hit, blowing clouds and smiling like an idoit. Vape Euphoria glazed look. I responded in kind with the tri-verts, 26 gauge, 0.25 ohm built Estia riding the Torched Dragon,

He couldn't figure why I'd bother going past his setup, told him, I couldn't understand why he isn't using his ego no more? Saw a flicker of light go on, a nod and he shuts up and lets me vape.

Vape is now a serious presence at work. And mostly my fault :evil::lol:

I've had the FEV v3 for about a week now. I'm thoroughly please. Amazing draw...smooth and quiet. I'm using mesh straws for the tank-to-wick feed and a mc with cc wick. Outstanding flavor and am able to chain vape long draws with no issues. It is built so well. No leaking or flooding. I'm sold.

You can't beat how easy it is to build and fill without the need of needle - tipped bottles and rewick mid-tank if needed.

Yeah, like I've been saying since before last Christmas, the flashi is a very unappreciated rba in the states. It's fantastic no matter what watt's one vape's at. 15, 30, 70 watt's, can drip, tank, work on build with a full tank of juice, large build deck and drip well, easy to fill..... Yeah, a worthy addition to any vapers collection, it's simple, elegant, and just works.
