It could be the Paragon that has messed up threading. If it does I guess I'm stuck with it the way it is. I will test it on the Wotofo ZNA. That has 20 x 1, right?
Not necessarily stuck. You can take pictures and start a ticket, ask them to send you a new top cap. If we can identify the threading maybe there is something that will work.

Don't know about the ZNA, don't have one. I'm sure someone else will confirm.

I bought it from Eciggity, not FT. Once they sold them, they haven't restocked either. I didn't realize when I ordered it that it didn't have a floating or adjustable pin. And the crooked threads just make it worse. Now if the threading isn't 20x1, then it won't work on the Aqua either.

I will check it on the ZNA in a bit. My blind African Grey is in my lap and still eating breakfast. She loves her brekkie and spends hours eating, lol!

Eciggity is a good outfit, contact them and see what they have to say, it couldn't hurt.

running the aqua v2 at 42 watts with milk and honey

decided on my crazier tiger coils. twisted 30 gauge, then twisted with .6 x .07 flat ribbon (normally used for mundy magic wire)

I think my wife is a little jealous already

Argh, I gotta make time to build this baby, but I doubt that I can get to it for another week or so :cry: Since I am going to review it, I can't build it until I photograph it. I think I may opt for twisted 30 or 27 gauge myself. How is the flavor production and juice consumption?

Yes, the Wotofo is 20x1 threaded :) Too bad the Aqua pin is too long to hybrid to the Wotofo, even as the pin is adjustable there are still limits to how much it can be shortened.

Those little IN'AX NANO's with the ceramic wicks look very interesting! But my concern is the ceramic wicks, how good is the vape on them and how do you clean the wicks? My thought was these would also be great for testing your DIY mixes but I wonder if you vape one flavor then drip another will the first still linger and mess up your perception of what your juices taste like? I have a couple small drippers and the flavor from a new juice dripped will switch right over with a couple draws but that's wicked with rayon.

BTW I bought one of those Plume Veil's that was on the last group buy, wow that little guy is amazing! Very well made and with the three different air flow controls you can really zero in flavor, even with one basic wick. It is a little weepy from the bottom air holes, nothing major unless you over drip but because of the performance it's well worth putting up with. I have read the originals were the same way.

I got that little baby IN'AX NANO, as soon as I saw the youtube video that inswva posted I was sold! :banana: I have never used ceramic as wick before but I do know that it is quite absorbent, and I would like to think that you could be able to change flavors quickly with it. Pbusardo did a review of ceramic wicks some time ago, go search his channel to see if you can find it.

Good for you on the Plume Veil Group Buy :)

I got some perfectly timed vape mail today, The Cloupor T8 and the Samsung 25R's that I ordered to use with them. This order took way longer than usual to arrive, 18 days :confused: From tracking it looks like it got lost because it never showed being processed through sort facility, and when it finally did show up it hit Garden City first (Long Island, Nassau County) which my mail has never gone through .. and it stayed there for 3 days before moving on to. Usually my stuff is in and out of ISC NY within hours, not days of arriving.

Now, DHL is late with my IPV Mini :cry: Tracking sys that it is out for delivery but its still not here yet :( I was hoping to take pictures while it was still light outside.

with this specific build at this wattage, the vapor is very proficient even with a 50/50 (just got my wife's bottle of gambit to refill it just now)

flavor at first seemed a bit underwhelming with my Wicked Nectar from King of Clouds (vapor's knoll) but that's because I had the air hole wide open which is quite an airy draw

I really like this special tiger coil since I came up with it last week. 26 gauge is too much ramp up time on a DNA 30 device. flavor is great with a dual setup at 70+ watts in a dripper, but that build isn't really meant for an erlkonigin.

I had a small section of 30 gauge left (used the last of the spool) and wanted to increase the surface area even more so.

I have 2, 1 ohm coils now (net .5Ω). it's like 7/8 wraps. it's quite springy to work with but I just torched the bejesus out of it which helped.

only real problem is that the deck section is so small that you have to make sure your chimney doesn't make contact with your coils. as long as you keep that in mind, it's quite elementary

I remember my first build on the v1 being quite difficult. this build went in in under 2 minutes (counting the torching and squeezing)

I really like the ease of adding juice to this tank. I do wish one of the holes were larger for glass drippers. you'll have some "run-off" on the lip, but it's not hard to get the majority of it to go into the fill holes which are the same holes that the juice comes out of for wicking.

if I wanted to be extremely picky, I wished that the polished finish on the ring with the AQUA logo was the same finish as the deck/base. the chimney + top cap-like section have this finish, but for some reason they went with a brushed finish on the deck

also, the chimney/top-cap section has a weird indent on it. not all drip tips are going to match the device. I went with a taifun DT as I didn't have too many other options

with the air flow at about 1/2 the flavor is very good. mind you I'm comparing the flavor to the erlk and the lancia RDA

edit : in regards to juice consumption, I seem to be going through quite a bit since I got this. I think it's the ease of adding liquid and the quality of the vape that is really to blame. the lancia is a fantastic RDA, but with most drippers, adding juice can be quite a production as well as a mess.

mmmm Gambit

I see they cloned the 5 pawns KFL

Is that right? I have heard of the 5 pawns KFL but I have never actually seen it or looked for it. I will have to check this out .. Or you can post pic/link :D

Oh, and China has cloned the Vapor Shark, technically its still in production, but it is cloned.

The Paragon clones are 20x.75 threaded, with the exception of Infinite's Paragon Midnight Edition clone, which is 20x1.

Saw that Five Pawns KFL this morning and snagged one. A combination of impulse buy and order before the cease and desist letters arrive. :) It helps that I actually like Five Pawns Castle Long Reserve...but I need another Kayfun like I need a hole in my head. Which is to say, not at all.

I have to blame someone, so, here goes: Your not good for my wallet. LMAO, Just days after I ordered another set of Panasonic 3400mah, batteries (and thats after days of battery shopping), I see this post, and google the 25-Rs. Much better reliability rating than my Panasonics.
My wallet does not like you.

it's absolutely my favorite

you could check out thesteamco.com for their clone of the CLR. little easier to stomach the price. I've had like 8 bottles of the gentlemen's reserve
