i have 3 erls. the a-mod from fc, a 1:1 (supposedly) from ft, and a cheaper one from ft which came with a ss dt adapter (got this one for the adapter).
the glass tank from ibtank matches perfectly with a whole glass dt on the ss adapter. sorry i haven't taken photos yet (will do).
the three have leaked: in the 1:1, saw the ibtank glass tank had a crack, probably shocked it; in the a-mod, i got dry hits and then, leakage.
so the problem resided in my build for sure. the tails of the wick were trimmed in angle (arrow), and they were reaching the bottom of the juice channels. the quiz, as usual in some attys, like the squapes, was in the corners. thanks Audrey, for the heads up about trimming the shoulders. that's a very sensitive point in the erls, like in the squapes.
got mail! the copper cartel from the wheel of destiny of focalecig has beaten the record (less than 12 days from china to spain). it's my first full copper mod (in the stingrays x, most copper is hidden below the ss), and my first M20x1.
now i have it, i'm loving it! was scared by the copper maintenance, but i guess this comes with a patina cover, and the cleaning work will be worth it. it's maybe a "tiny" version, 22mm width, compared with other versions (~25mm, very thick walls). but tested the voltage drop.. and it's terrific good: 1.2ohms, lg he2, from 4.15v to 4.07v. 0.08v with a load of 1.2ohms! these are true good numbers. then, the vape experience confirmed it. so it's a tiny but killer mod. will keep it clean to maintain these numbers (lubed the threads, switch, and contacts with no-ox-id). the switch works very well, nice touch, not too soft, not too hard, softer than the panzer, so didn't plan to replace the spring with magnets (anyway, there are not magnet rings with od<17.7mm and id>12.4mm). throw of 1.5mm. however, added a 6x4x1mm o-ring to the pin to make it protrude a bit more (prefer a full firm contact with the battery); no risk of autofiring.
tried to hybridize it, but as the switch is barely adjustable, you have to adjust with magnets to match the proper length of batteries and atty's 510. the 18500 tube is specially long.
and guess what did come at once with the cartel? the otm aqua v2 (the tobeco aqua from fc was only in the u.s. warehouse). they came together and got married instantly =)) it was easy: it's my only 20x1 mod, lol. had to adjust with magnets to get them hybrid. but the aqua will probably have some adventures with the sx mini, and the cartel with some drippers.. sort of open relationship
)
i have no drip tips with copper accents, guess will have to search for one now. another set of pendent photos.. will wait for the sun, cold wave here too.
about liquids, i was reading your comments about acetyl pyrazine while tasting a stepped juice of arabic tobacco (from tino de milano, inawera) with some additives, like absolutes of tobacco, ethyl maltol, and 0.3% of ap. that arabic flavor is a bit sweet with slight spice accents, and was good, but the ap has made the difference. it's probably one the best mixes (or the best) i've tasted.
took a look to the chi you in clearance sales. had problems to make the order (maintenance tasks), and today is sold out. after the fiasco of the chi you switch from ft, i thought i could play with the chi you, the caravela 23mm, and the kato, all M21x1 from fc. hope i'll get another chance soon.
back to lurking, till i can take the pendent photos
I recently PIF'd it though, never even used it, but I am positive about the DT's, so it looks like Eleven make have packed your order 
it's a nice, smooth, airy vape just like I like it. Could do with a bit more warmth, but I'm still learning my way around it. 
I can't keep up with the tank explosion I created.
