I've got mine set up with 2mm ekowool in a special 8, 30g kanthal, 5 wraps @ 1.8 ohms. Took about half a day to break it in but this thing is awesome! The flavor just keeps getting better. It's a little more airy than I'm used to but I'll adapt because it's just that good. I think my next build will be 4 wraps... gonna shoot for 1.5 ohms.
I am noticing a tiny bit of liquid on the bottom which I'm assuming is from the fill screw. It's not enough to really bother me though. I'm gonna try a little teflon tape tomorrow which, from what everyone is saying, should fix the problem.
In the end, if you don't have a Lite yet and are on the fence, just go ahead and get one. My carto tanks are officially in retirement.
I use a little teflon, but the o-ring on the mini-screw driver that came with them (if you got it) works well too.
As to why did you pay more at VapeRev than at Intaste...well, it's VapeRev they charge top dollar for everything thing. They can get away with it since they are really, really popular in the local area. Hell, they don't even really need to do internet sales...and don't for certain items. The SoCal vape scene has exploded this year, especially in the "high end" market. People are throwing piles of cash at certain brand names, one of which has been svoemesto.
