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:

It not being 1:1 is what i liked about it. I actually prefer that it is 22mm, that the base does not have a million notches in it, and even that the top cap is thicker...makes it look more like a regular tank and not so cheap. Of course the adjustable 510 pin is huge plus over the original.

When my new grinding bits come i'm going to deepen the grooves at the top of the wick channels to see if that helps. I'm not impressed at all with the flavor though and i think it's because the coil is really far away from the air hole. The coil has to sit high because like i said the wick has to go above/over the channel. Vapor is thin and flavor is muted. I usually get this when i have the coil too far away from the direct air.

I don't see how i can fix AFC since it seems to flow the same whether or not the disk is even there but at least it is nice an open already.

    My blue hana clone just shipped today. Why am I thinking about getting another one???

    Because backup. Or the backup's backup. Or the backup's backup's backup. Be prepared.

    My humble little Hana clone is still my most used regulated mod even though it is sharing the stable with a Sig 100 and IPV2. I'll definitely buy another if this one ever croaks.

    Well I can't see what the hype is for the erl, pretty disappointed, thought it was going to be my new go to tank, but it's blah, ok it the deck screws were a total waste, could pull them out without unscrewing, easy fix as had spares, but flavor is very muted compared to my lemo, orchid and foggers, going to give it a bit more time to break in, but so far it is nothing special, which sucks as been waiting for so long to get one.

    *I did not get this erl from focal*

    My $6 Little Boy clone arrived over the weekend (15 days from purchase to delivery), and just finished my first attempt at a parallel coil. I can see why it's a popular style build.

    There isn't as much room for building inside the deck as I was hoping, but the nice and wide post holes make up for that. It has a fairly deep juice well that should hold around 20 drops -- I'll have to remember to not tilt it since the air holes are fairly low on the cap.

    The Little Boy is 2nd from left in this group pic; it, the Caravela on the far left, the Vanilla (2nd from right) and Hades (far right) are Focalecig purchases.

    The Erlk is different. It gives me flavor notes I haven't tasted before in my juice.

    I like ita lot, but it sure is ugly, lol!

    Hmm, was thinking of picking up the Yiloong. I could Dremel the wick slots.
    if you find the yiloong somewhere can you let me know? I have yet to find it for sale... if it was cheap enough I would take a chance on it just because it's "22mm"!

    Just asked Doris for you, Orchid v4 is on it's way by DHL to the USA warehouse today, so shouldn't be to long and the rose v2 is expected to be in stock by Friday.

    Saw it on ebay last week. Price was around $44. Kind of high if it needs repairing. It will likely show up other places for less, soon.

    ETA: he's dropped the price to $35 on ebay

    Yes! Very classy water mark, well done! :)

    Thank you darling :D .. I like the dainty script font, looks good on my name :wub: But Cindy made me a transparent watermark layer thingy, and then proceeded to show me how easy it was to remove my watermark :laugh: She's a smart one that Cat :p

    Maybe I will use both because I have grown rather fond of the dainty script font :laugh:

    I would like to try an Orchid or Fogger now. I would like recommendations (is one better? Which version of it?)

    I love the fogger, but it is tricky to build though, as no post holes so have to wrap coil legs around post screw, so 1st coil stays in place while mount the 2nd.

    The orchid is easier to build and I do think it beats the fogger, probably due to more airflow, but the v1-v3 have low juice capacity, so have to fill often, but I have a orchid v4 coming, which is meant to hold a lot more juice, just don't know if the longer chimney will affect the vape experience with it.

    Personally if the juice capacity is not a big deal, then I would recommend the orchid over the fogger, but both do produce good vapor and flavor.
