I won't be upset if I don't like them. They were pretty cheap.
Im most likely guilty of over tightening. Plus every time i screw fill top on i tighten it a little more.If you need tools, and rubber gloves don't work, then folks are over tightening their parts.
Thats why I want to get some better o rings for it.Officially retiring my Merlins! 3 weeks without any sign of a leak or condensation. Tonight 10 minutes of use no rewick or refill and suddenly juice everywhere. Loved this Rta but Kayfun v5 for me all the time from now on.
I would agree with you if it was not press fitted.Just too much hassle compared to my Kayfun v5's.Thats why I want to get some better o rings for it.

Have the kayfuns gotten better? I had the 3.1 lite clone, and it was plastic tank, and really small build deck and juice wick wells.I would agree with you if it was not press fitted.Just too much hassle compared to my Kayfun v5's.
All i use now,i have 8 kayfun v5 clones.All work perfectly,no leaks easiest build deck i ever tried and amazing flavor.All parts are easily available and you can fully strip them down.The perfect tank to me.Have the kayfuns gotten better?

i did the same, i am done with my merlinOfficially retiring my Merlins! 3 weeks without any sign of a leak or condensation. Tonight 10 minutes of use no rewick or refill and suddenly juice everywhere. Loved this Rta but Kayfun v5 for me all the time from now on.
I have no idea what the originals are made of but was told to use buna 70.That is what i use in my kayfun v5's.Here is a link what i use.So I am looking to finally get around to buying better o-rings for the Merlin. I sent the company an email asking for a specific list of all the o-rings and position they go. So far this is what I have. (I am only listing the ones I can reach without unpressing anything)
Quantity : size
1 : 5x1 mm
1 : 8x1 mm
1 : 12x1 mm
1 : 15x1 mm
3 : 20x1.2 mm
One question I have is does anyone know the type of material that the o-rings are made of?
"O-rings are available in several different materials such as PTFE, Nitrile (Buna), Neoprene, EPDM Rubber and Fluorocarbon (Viton)." (source)

@ricks you like it better than the Kayfun v5? Or the older Kayfuns?Merlins are better than Kayfuns for building and vaping for me. I use my Kayfuns for tasting new liquids only now.
took advantage of eciggity Black Friday and third Merlin on the way. They just have the blacks left. Nothing in my experience rewicks faster than Merlin.
Wicking is a breeze ( I actually blow on mine to fluff them )!!
Congrats on getting a 3rd merlin![]()
When I rewick my Merlins I fill the tank from the liquid feed holes before putting it back together. I find I can get a little more liquid in them and it makes the whole process quicker.I've gotten into the habit of wicking a lot more frequently than I have in the past. Don't know if it's the juice I use but I don't go through more than two tanks without rewicking. The vape just tastes better. Flip the Merlin upside down, unscrew and everything is right there easily accessible. I don't have enough patience to remove chambers and to fiddle with those old style Griffin-like wells that take extra time. For me anyway. I don't want to spend more than five minutes if possible.

I would agree. I had one of the older Kayfuns, but that thing was tiny, and had so many parts that had to be cleaned when I would rebuild it. I just looked at some of the newer Kayfuns, and they still look like they have a very small build deck and a lot of parts.Merlins are better than Kayfuns for building and vaping for me.
