In both, so far great flavor.

Ive found on th e first run tanks that seeped bad
Make sure the base is completely seated replace all the orings with right sizes and wick like you have yours and the seepage problem either disappears altogether or begins to look like sweating and no more
I had two that seeped bad but after doing these things seepage stopped even in 100 degree heat
My flavor was always great thats why I worked on these tanks so hard

I've always loved using ekowool and silica in my old kayfuns. Didn't think it would work in these Merlins but it's working great so far. I didn't think it would cover the liquid intake holes enough but it does.

I've had to replace my cotton wicks every 3rd refill. Ekowool will last a lot longer...

I have noticed I have to re-wick more often than with other tanks

 

[hittman]

It's funny you mention that because I was just thinking that I'm losing flavor and probably need to rewick.

I got the merlin a few weeks ago. This is the second time i got a RTA from an online company (not sure it's ok to name them? They are a great company and i order from them all the time, probably has more to do with the QA person?) Anyway.. looks like the 510 pin was screwed in by someone who forgot to put their glasses on. It was scrathed to hell and looks like it was overtightened to the point that the screwdriver slipped and the slot is all damaged. No big deal, but it is grinding the hell out of my 510 plated connectors on my mods. I'm just worried over time it can cause connection issues on either my mods or the RTA itself? Like if a burr is sticking out and you screw it down, wont it stop screwing once that burr hits the 510 and it wont make full contact? is it safe to sand it down? or is it bad to sand away so that the plating comes off?

Also noticed after a few washes that the inside of the chimney that houses the deck is losing it's paint ( got the black one) Like it's wearing off. Not sure the heat caused it, or it just happened from washing it? Only used small amount of dish soap and ran it under hot water.

Can't help too much on the 510, as I was lucky to not have any issues, but as far as the black glass, lots of folks reporting it comes off with repeated washing's.

 

[chazz80]

Thanks for the reply eskie. Not talking about the glass though, like the actual inside of the chimney that has the augvape logo on it, if thats what you meant.

 

[Fozzy71]

Glad I ordered both of mine in silver. Now I just wish efun would ship them.

 

[chazz80]

LOL I usually always get stainless steel too, but wanted something in black to match my black H-priv.

 

[Vinnybagodoughnuts]

I try to never order anything but SS.(I do have a gold v3 but it appears to be annodized) I am a painter and therefore know the limitations of SS adhesion. It can be done but it can be quite an expensive and time consuming process.Something most manufacturers are not willing to do.
@Fozzy71 both my recent efun orders have shipped within 2 days including my Merlin.China has had some really bad flooding in recent weeks so if you haven't already I would contact them.

 

[Fozzy71]

I contacted them a couple days ago and they said it had been pulled by warehouse and I would get a shipment notice when it ships.

Hi
our warehouse prepared your order , soon we'll send you the track number , please wait kindly

This was 4 days after I placed the order. I am too impateint for any more overseas orders for things other than parts or stuff I am in no hurry for.

 

[osso1]

Ordered 2 from efun
Now the wait begins
Looking forward to these tanks
And a Shout Out to Roxy.. I miss your posts

 

[trentenmarschel]

Just noticed something on mine. First do these tanks have a overflow tank or some place that liquid flowing back out of the air intake to go. I just noticed when looking through the air flow adjuster slots there is like a drop of liquid just under the 2 holes in the center post.

 

[chazz80]

Not sure, but i'm pretty sure those holes are for the airflow to reach the coils? You reminded me of anther thing on mine. When i look through the airflow slots, those two holes aren't lined up with the airflow slots on mine when i have it tightened down. Not sure if it could be affecting the airflow? I'm coming from the wotofo serpent and i feel like i get a smoother airflow from the serpent over the merlin.

Man i freaking LOVE the drip tip on this Merlin. I'm using it right now on my smok tf-rdta and usually use it on whichever tank i'm vaping on.

Lol, only part of the Merlin I'm still using, awesome drip tip for my WoToFo Serpent Mini.

 

[Jason Lewis]

Even thought of buying another just for the drip tip.

I hate these drip tips... I like small thin ones.
