Let me know how the Orchid tanks fit your KFs.
Business could slow right down for B&Ms after August.

With zero new products, multiplied by many Vapers stocking up (some have prepared to never buy anything else ever again).

Things are looking very dismal.

Stocking up shouldn't have a big effect. People who stock up mostly shop online.

I have the 34mm orchids. Fit perfect with the long chimney. I also have 27mm 5 pawns tanks. Fit perfect with the short chimney top.

The finned orchid caps are a direct fit also.

PC tanks for 50 cents to a buck a shot are a no brainer stockpile item. I have 20 of each and will double that soon.

I've seldom shopped the b&m's. 3 times maybe, just to get 5 Pawns juice. The rest has been online.

Sub Tank Mini Maz. If you close off all but one small hole it is close to a Protank. Open it is much more airy. It comes with a RTA and is easier to build than the Protank.

I bought one and loved it so bought four more ($10 at Vape Happy a few weeks ago)
Thanks Chanel !
Did you use it with PT2 heads as well ? Thoughts please if yes. I assume that's a picture of the RTA section. How did that work for you ? Could you get a satisfying MTL vape from that at 10-15 watts ?

@Mazinny , I am a Protank lover too but I am using STMs more and more. I have several. Although I have not tried the PT coils in one (yet), the RBA for the STM is very easy to build on. And as Chanel said, with the AFC closed down, it gives a MTL hit comparable (to me) to an AFC on a Protank (not closed down) . Perhaps slightly airier, but not enough to bother me.

Thanks. Any idea where i can get one cheap ( shipping included ). I'm not really buying anything else, so shipping cost cannot be spread among different items !

I'll give you my thoughts.

After giving the STM high praise (a few posts back) for it's ability to use the PT2 heads, I now have to say that I'm not impressed (with that aspect only). The vape is fine. Very, very good as a matter of fact. The problem is that after vaping for a while, it starts to gurgle due to juice getting in the base. I believe it's getting in through the chimney (but I'm not sure).

I've tried pushing the top cap up to the STM top tube, and even put a small o-ring on as well. Still starts to gurgle after a while. Set it down for several minutes, pick it up and vape and it's fine, for a few minutes.

I got so tired of it that I finally broke out the rebuildable head, swapped out the coil it came with (.5 ohm I think) for one of mine, and am happily vaping away with a 1.9 ohm coil at 7 watts with nary a gurgle. :) This thing is so much more efficient than the PT2 that I don't dare increase the wattage until I mix some lower mg juice. Even at 7 watts, it's hitting WAY better than the PT2 ever did.

I'm still going to fiddle with using the PT2 coils at some point. Maybe some silicone tubing stretched over the STM top tube that would still allow the PT2 chimney to fit into it. It's worth a shot. ;)

I did not use PT heads. No need to. I am perfectly happy building on the RBA it came with as it is triple times easier to build (no fiddling with insulator and such)
I like it 100% better than the protank. With all but one small air hole closed I think it is pretty much the same MTL and much better flavor and ease of build.
Just watch for sales because like usual, it is yesterdays news now and can be found cheap.

Thanks, so $22 for authentic and $ 10 for clone on Fasttech. I will get one of each i suppose.

Chanel, how would you compare your Taifun GT2 vaping experience with the STM rebuildable ?

The RBA on the one Clnire directed you too has a screw that you use to remove the well (chamber)
The RBA I direcetd you to the well screws on and off

I did not realize that. Thanks for pointing it out! That little screw can get lost so easily, fortunately I have spares. But in a pinch, it would be nice to not have to deal with it at all. Hum, yet another FT order? :w00t:
