I didn't have time to follow their FB post but only found many people got problem.

I don't know whether mine has problem but I got some issues but don't know whether they are the problem that other users are experiencing:

1. There is always little bit leakage from the AFC ring
2. The juice control ring seems cannot 100% shutoff when trying to refill, always will leak from the air hole while refilling
3. Try to clean up the whole atty and found one of the O ring size is not correct (I do think this lead to the leakage from the AFC ring), but can't find a more appropriate one to replace that

I must admit the damn thing seems to have more orings that a KF 4. Never thought that would be beaten for complexity...

Just jump on their page, and send them a PM I am sure they will sort it out. They have acknowledged that there are some problems and they sound like they are going to sort them out.

I dont want to bash them here, so as long as they rectify the issues then I don't have a problem with them.

FWIW, I have never had a single issue with my 1.3 LE and it is my regular rotation

Is the Hurricane V2's capacity really just 2ml?!? :shock:
These regulations really seem keen on making people go back to cigarettes.

I came here to ask about something similar to Hurricane, as I gave the 1.3 as a gift for Xmas to my wife and I... I kinda wish I had bought it for me too (but there was only one in the shop and I was there for her). Anything similar with decent capacity? I already have the Calix V2, which I like but I'm not too keen on rebuilding. I vape in TC.

Edit: also... is E-phoenix website down?

Yep V2 has 2ml capacity - If you want more of the MTL then Skyline, if you prefer more of an open draw the Hussar has a massive capacity and amazing flavour.

I got Hussar already, basically capacity is not very big issue to me, but I got the 3 size tanks for Hussar already and never use the nano yet.

I think I should get a Skyline soon to see how good it is [emoji51]

Twas funny today... I sold my last Provari mod - the Radius that served me very well. The chap that bought it really wanted to buy one of my RTAs... I could probably use the money as I am starting a squonk journey, but I looked at my Squape R(s), Kayfun 5, Doggystyle, Skyline, Hussar and Cane and thought to myself do I need all these high end RTAs - and the answer was YES! LOL I couldn't part with any of these.

Yeah, it is a great tank and once I discovered the secret to stopping the jumping ohms, I realised just how great it is. But believe me I had times early on when I thought about smashing it with a brick LOL.

I would have thought they would be pretty easy to pick up cheap these days?

Sorry to hear of your shorting issue with the Taifun.

I think the X is a completely different atty from my understanding. Some love it and some think the R(s) was better. I didn't end up getting it, simply because there were others that interested me more at the time.

I have a squapeX but never tried the R, and squapeX is one of my mostly used tank, the turn and lock mechanism is a very smart design and it match with one of my favorite juice very well, so it always mount on one of my favorite mods all the time. But I found it is not working well with dual coil and if you run with single coil, you must need to buy the single coil deck and don't use the dual coil deck with single coil install, if not, very easy to leak

Remember kids, lock the mod off before building!
I've gained a healthy respect for the power of mods. Over a month ago I rebuilt a Merlin which I've done a bazillion times, pushed the fire button and received a ball of heat and smoke up into the mouth. Pretty shocking. And unpleasant. Rebuilt again and this time fired up without my mouth in place and saw, through the open juice holes, red. Red as in something is burning. It was, a coil went belly up. After trying the Merlin in another mod, concluded the Efusion was faulty and sent it in for repair. (BTW, sent it in on December 1 and have still not gotten it back! Not the kind of service I was expecting from a new mod under warranty that ain't cheap!). Since then, whenever I pick up a mod for the first time in a day or after a new build I hit the fire button first and take a wiff of any hint of smoke or anything else amiss.

Haha, when it happened to me i .... my self just about! You always hear (watch out for a short or youll be in trouble) soon as i heard that noise coming from the coil leg breaking and that bit of smoke i was like (EDITED - NO!)

Rs is incredible for desert liquids and N.E.T's, i had a vieness whirl liquid in there ( a biscuit with rasberry and vanilla custard filling) was very spot on, dont think ive been able to replicate that from any other attys.... hence why i miss it

YESssss! I find that HHV juices really sing in the R(s) - having said that I tried one in the Hussar and it just blew me away. The Hussar is very intense with flavour.
