not sure which exact version you received for your Erlk, but I was thoroughly impressed with mine. this says a lot considering I'm used to vaping 50w + for the last 3 months or more

I just wish mine came with the drip tip adapter

My (mis)adventures with the Erlk clone has been documented in the Erlkonigin vs Clone thread. My first one was from FT in a silver box. 2nd was the first one in stock from FC ($19.36 version).

I'm in the process of getting the base replaced by FC as one of the deck screw holes was mostly stripped.
 
This thread is waaay too long. It might have been discussed already, but has anyone tried chinavtrade? No free shipping, but their prices are good. I tried to place a small order to try them out, but the PayPal link returns an error and they don't use SSL at checkout, so I didn't complete the order. Anybody use them?

Never heard of them. Website is not work safe though, lol. There are banner ads for, um, adult novelty items.

The screw holds the 510 threaded part to the post. If you loosen it, the deck will be loose. It was not meant to be adjustable.

Mine doesn't look like that. When you take out the screw with the oring there is another piece that you tighten with a flathead screw driver. The deck only comes loose if you loosen this inner piece. The Yiloong is not a 1:1 clone.

Also, are those pics of the authentic or another Yiloong clone? The air paths on the base of my Yiloong clone look more like the Prinz with less notches than the Erl and the top cap where you fill is much thicker than the Erl or Prinz. This is the one i have:

I think the pics are from the authentic but both my clones look just like that.

Your link is broken but I was browsing a few different models of Erlkonigins and there seems to be some different designs. Have you had any issues with yours? Where did you get it? Is it loud? (sorry for all the questions, I'm curious :D)

If you search "Yiloong erl" on Alibaba it should be the first one that pops up. You can tell right away if it's the Yiloong because the base and top cap do not look like the authentic.

AFC is useless and top of wick channels are not carved out, or barley carved out (less than 1mm), so wick sits on top of channel and not in the channel. I do not recommend this version even though it looks really good in pics.

I got it from a member on another forum.

Yes it has the loud whoosh sound.

Anyone know if coupon codes stack? I "won" a $10 coupon code by using some reward points to spin the FC wheel of destiny. Wondering if it'll stack with fcvapingcheap?

I have no clue honey boo .. try it out and let us know what happened :laugh: And high five on the $10 coupon :D

I would assume the $10 code would work with US warehouse items even though fcvapingcheap doesn't work.

However, I'm eyeballing the Cloupor T8 shipped from China. It would be a long term replacement for my IPV2 which is going off for warranty service. I'd only be using the T8 @ <30W with my RTAs so the unpowered/inaccuracy issues with those units isn't a huge deal. My Sig 100 is my high power dripper box. The T8 would go in rotation with my Hana clone for daily RTA duties. If the codes will stack I can get it to my door for $72.

Then go for it .. I have one coming but I asked Bird if she could get me Silver instead Blue so I am waiting .. After receiving and using the T6 but this about the only reason that I would give it a recommendation .. BEATER STATUS. You can get a 30-50W vape as long as you adjust up... the ohm meter is pretty accurate :laugh:

Speaking of beater, I jacked up my T6 a little :unsure: .. One of my magnets not only came out, but broke, so I replaced it but glued it in on the wrong side :blink: even though I was consciously warning myself to NOT do that, I managed to accomplish it anyway :facepalm: Decided to remove the magnet from the back cover using the oven/cold water quench trick .. it worked fast too. But .. the broken magnet left crunchy debris in the magnet hole, so the replacement is not exactly sitting flush ... and so the cover is not exactly flush anymore either :cry:

Beater beater .. :p

Yiloong Erl update: I know I said i would post up detailed pics but i'm not going to waste my time. It has some positives but basically it's still a POS. Yes, it looks very nice and is 22mm so it sits flush with 22mm mods. Yes it comes with extra goodies like the steel tank with logo, metal drip tip and drip tip adapter. It even has an adjustable 510 pin which i don't think the original has but unfortunately there are two major flaws with it:

1) AFC is useless. The black disk has to be screwed in all the way or the device won't sit flush on the mod. It should have been countersunk a little. Also, taking it out completely didn't really change the airflow at all so it's there for looks only.

2) The grooves at the top of the wick channel, before it starts to slope down, are barely cut out at all...maybe 1mm at most. Basically the wick just lays on top instead of actually being in the groove/channel. Imagine the wick has to slope up from coil and go over/on top of the wick channel instead of straight out from the coil and into the groove in the wick channel...if that makes any sense.

I got it to work on my second build but it wasn't a very good vape, wicked slow and had muted flavor. My only hope is that i can use some of the parts on the other clones. For example, it would be nice to transfer over the center pole with adjustable 510 pin to one of the other clones but i don't have any others in my possession right now.

Ouf .. I was eyeing the Yiloong clone before the last Chinese Holiday, but I could see that it wasn't a 1:1 from the pics the sent so I scrapped it .. Maybe the vape will improve after your wick breaks in a little? :unsure:

All my mods are beaters, lol. I don't pamper them, that's for sure.

I did a search and it showed about 20 different Yiloong erlkonigins but I kinda figured it out with the product # on your link and description of the thicker top cap. It looks good. I also saw a polished silver one I haven't seen yet with a metal afc. I kinda figured out mine but the noise was a deal breaker. Just stupid loud. I might polish the air ways to see if that smooths the airflow and lessens the noise.


Happy Porn Monday! :banana:
