so how does the smok one compare with the original ? The smok I can order nearby (less waiting time and alot cheaper shipping)
In order to make it easier for us to know specifically what we are comparing it would be helpful if you provide links to both products.
I see no difference between the Drunker Tank available at the following vendors.
- Welcome to SmokTek, LLC - The Better Smoking Alternative - Your source for personal vaporizers, e-cig supplies and e-liquids(my point of purchase)
- GotVapes.com, E-cigarette Supplies - Atomizers Cartomizers Mods Juice and more(my point of purchase)
- Madvapes - Electronic Cigarettes, E Cigarettes, E-Cigs
- Welcome to Clouds Of Vapor
I do hope this helped.
well I tought the one from madvapes came from another independant vendor, hence the question.

The only feature I see that is different in any of the postings is the colored top caps. Neat but anodized is not better than an inexpensive chrome finish. I think the popularity of this little tank has lent its self to copycat manufacturing. I would avoid the colored caps, but that is just my opinion. I would buy the colored caps separately if I cared that much about colored caps. The functional part of the Drunker is the base with the tank attached and the post hardware etc. the cap is well just a cap. I think if they where going to improve it they would use the two O-ring AGA style rather than threads on the cap. Thanks for the links, really helped in clearing up what you where asking about.
Same or very similar product is my verdict based on the evidence available.
Because of this thread I ordered one last week looks like I will have a new toy to play with when I get home!! I love vape mail LOL
Great! Let us know how it goes.
Just another reminder.. these silicon grommets from surevapes are great to have.. if you have one of the did clones AND they fit on the bottom of the drunker tank. I think they work better than the stock insulator as they are a bit longer. For only .39, they are great to have on hand.
So far I am pretty impressed wicks really well even with 30pg/70vg
Zero leaks really happy about that (wish I could say the same about my Kanger EVOD)
This one is a close second to my VMOD 2.0 as far as usability IMHO.

UH OH.. I just ordered an EVOD to play with.
This was the worst tank I ever bought. Leaked all over the place!!!!
sorry about that.. mine has never leaked a drop.

Bummer. One of the first places to check is where it screws together in the middle. Make sure you don't have a little bit of wick or something trapped there. If everything seems to check out then it sounds like it's time to contact your vendor for some help. One of the strong points of the drunker is that if it's not defective and it's properly put together, it won't leak.
I purchased my Drunker about 2 weeks ago as my first rebuildable. I had been vaping a carto-tank (3 ohm cartos at 8.4v 
) so I thoght the 3 ohm coils would be comparable. I cleaned up my tank, torched the silica and dry burned the coil. Filled the tank, let it soak for 30 minutes, then decided to help by hitting the wicks with a couple of drops of juice where they run from the top of the tank to the ceramic cup, then dripped a couple of drops directly on the coil. I put the cap on and took a quick hit. Fantastic! I then took another, longer hit, and got a burnt taste almost immediately. It turns out that it isn't wicking fast enough at that wattage. So I then built a 3.5 ohm coil using the stock wicks and 32AWG Kanthal - better but still not wicking fast enough. I put it aside until I can build a higher resistance coil (Just got some 34AWG Kanthal). I love the idea, just need to get it to work.

I can't stand this thing either. 
I wanted something lighter than an AGA to tote around, and it is that - but that's about all it's going for it, as far as I can see.
For one, the taste is barely meh; for two, the draw is so airy it actually whistles, and, for three, it's a complete and total pain in the ... to rebuild (getting cotton wicks through the wee holes could drive a saint to homicide).
Honestly: even the much-maligned Viva Nova is better than this dreadful thing.

LOL.. I don't think it's all that bad but yea.. getting the wicks into those holes in the deck can be a pain. Mine needs recoiling but I've been putting if off because of that.
I'm not sure if this will work for everyone because I prefer fairly low wattage vaping, but it's easy to try and see if it works for you or not.
I use a single short wick through the coil that just extends about 1/4 inch on each side of the ceramic. I then tuck the other two wicks in against that wick on each side. I'm using cotton but I would think it should work for silica as well.
I have caramel and vanilla in most of my mixes and they gunk the coil pdq. This way I can pull out the old wick, pulse the coils a couple of times, slide in a new wick and wet it good, set aside to soak for a couple of hours, and I'm back in business.

Makes me wonder if you have yet another defective unit. If you look at the holes in the connection, they are tiny. Then look at the hole in the ceramic. I'm guessing, but I'd say it's around 1.2 mm and that's the hole that determines the draw. The draw is looser or more airy than a dud with a 1mm air hole for example and slightly looser than my joye 510 attys, but not much. And no whistling.
I'm wondering if yours is getting extra air some way and might be causing the mah flavors as well. I get good flavor, at least on par with my reduxes, and almost on par with my 804s.
