I have the CM v4, like it a lot. The one thing I might do is use a piece of teflon tape on the handle joint - it wants to unscrew when I wrap a CCW [emoji5]

Good advice, and an accurate observation!
First fill of the Engine, I had really clear juice and when it came out the fill port, I thought "Gosh, why are my hands wet?' Then I realized the stupidity I had committed.
See below.
Yep, and one I heard somewhere and follow just because I can and it doesn't take anymore time. Fill to the left side of the opening and you won't get spitback. Maybe, matbe not. But I haven't had any spitback and I fill mine FULL.
This is how I wick all my Engines(Regular, Mini and Nano), except that I'm using cotton. I don't have any wicking issues.
I share your opinion. This is the first tank I've been able to fly with and not have a puddle of juice when I get off the plane.
Anyone know what size wires are used on the Clapton coil that comes with these? Mostly curious about what size is on the out side.
I don't know for sure what those are. The fused claptons I run in my Engine are 24g core wrapped in 36g. If I had to guess I would say those are 26g core 36g wrap
I'll take a piece of the extra cut off length and unwind it and try to figure it out. I think I want to try making one with thinner wire. Maybe 28 or 30g wrapped with 36g???
Well, I couldnt wait for my clapton wire to get here. I saw the coil master kit came with some 24 ga kanthal and figure what the heck. Never built my own coil, no better time than the present to start. I made a 4mm 7 wrap spaced coil. That coil master kit made it easy! It came out to .782ohm. Wicking this thing is so simple it isnt funny. Put it on my Alien, 33 watts and fire away. Instantly started coughing, this thing puts out a much denser vape than the baby beast I was using! I thought to myself this sucker aint getting the best of me, so I sat upright(just got off work and was relaxing on the couch) and took another shot. No coughing but I couldnt see crap for a couple seconds, talk about clouds!.....lol.
I will say this though, flavor is about the same as the baby beast. So maybe 4mm is a little much. Not sure. 1st RTA so not sure what to expect. But I do know this. Im hooked! No more buying tanks with factory coils. I think I pretty much knew I was heading this direction....ordered an Avocado 24 from FT yesterday...lol.
Thanks for doing what you do all, its opened a new door for me. Appreciate it!

I hate that. Same thing with my Serpent (which I don't use anymore). How difficult is it to design these correctly...That is the only thing I don't like about the tank is the backwards coil wrapping...

Really don't like the idea of getting a new coil jig just for this atty. Sure, I can wrap counterclockwise with my old jigs, but annoying nonetheless.

Thanks! I was waiting for that, and check daily but didn't yet today(I don't know why I don't just subscribe, lol, but manually check the channels I like). Great review as always, and the findings/conclusions are spot on, as usual. I love that guy!
I have currently been using my merlin again before seeing it, and for regular round-wire and DL it probably is a little better flavor/vapor-wise. I seem to have fixed my issue with the merlin also, by using spaced coils. The few spaced-coils I did in the beginning, I probably didn't got the wicks long enough away from the airflow, but now it's fine. All the contact-coils I made thereafter where for sure away from the airflow, but as the coil isn't as long/wide(with regular-wire), then that probably was the culprit, or something...
I was going to try 3*30/38g today.
I knew you'd give in before the Claptons landed.
And yes, it is dead simple to build. Best advice is play around with your builds to get exactly the vape you want. That's the beauty of RTAs, the coils are built to YOUR specs, not you compromising on a factory coil that "should be about what I want". A 4 mm coil might be a little large for that tank. For me a 3 mm coil is my typical go to for most tanks anyway. As for the clouds, there are cloud chasers who view the cloud from these as meh. Think about how much they must be pushing to do.
OK, now I call superstition.
Just fill the tank while standing under a ladder while holding a black cat and you'll never have spitback again.

Now I've got to get a cat.
The things I do for a leak free vape...
Don't forget to through some nicotine salt over your shoulder while doing it!I knew you'd give in before the Claptons landed.
