Yeah I want this thing, but only if I can fit a glass tank, especially the nano size.
You wanna take something that holds barely any juice and make it hold less....
Well I guess it's gonna fit whatever it fits, I'm assuming the tank is the same size as the kf tank n 2 sections attached. But idk...

Sedge, I've heard the filling is the tanks weakest point. There's no bottom fill hole... so how is it done?

Just like top filling a kayfun. Easy. Also no different than an Aqua.

With top cap removed, fill, then screw on first thread of top cap whilst covering the two air holes with your fingers. Flip upside down and continue to screw on all the way. Release fingers over air holes the flip right side up.

It already holds 4ml. That is not insignificant in my opinion. I only use 3-4ml a day. The nano Kayfun holds 3ml. Right now I use a tank that holds 2.5ml and it is fine, I just fill it up once a day. If I want something that holds a ton of juice I would just use my fogger, but honestly I don't like how big it is.

Yeah, nano fits, but can't get no juice in it because of the larger diameter containment chamber. Tank could stand to be 2-3 mm taller and still work. The tank section is the same height as the kayfun tank without the middle section. And since it's a top loader, a nano tank will pull apart after a few fills.

K, love the air flow, almost as good as the Magma. The wick channels, are plain and simple, to damn shallow. Heck they ain't much deeper than the juice channels of a Kayfun. Need to open them up to the size of the Aqua's, get a slightly taller tank and we'd be close to ok. Damn jc is tough to get at, and once wide open, turning the top off, unscrews jc also.

Need a chim like the aqua or rose, so jc is acceptable. Frak, have to either unscrew the top or carry barrel nose pliers around to tweak it.

I did put the nano kit on the Russian, and had it's funnel top plugged with rubber tubbing, and was going to use it as an extension on top of the orchids funnel, so that I could use the full size Russian tank on the Orchid, but need to deepen the wick channels before I mess with it, so right now it's a pos with great potential.

You know, all in all, this is the first Authentic piece of gear that if feel violated. Usually get kissed before getting screwed. Seriously. Pay a buck fity for something, and then are expected to get a decent tank, and tools, then modify, to make it close to what it should of been in the first place. And it shows up in a tp roll and some bubble wrap. really? REALLY?? and made in America, so you know it was a fellow brother the stuck it to ya!!

Yep, they lost my business, no matter how well it will eventually vape, ain't cleaning up after them no more.

I've had this atty for 3 days while on a trip with my kid.

I can see it has great qualities but also some aspects that keep me from saying its my favorite RTA.

Again, I can't comment on flavor because of the cotton that was installed by the b&m. This was my first b&m purchase and was a spur of the moment thing. I've never had anyone else build for me.

I'm sure top filling will be an issue for some. Not a big deal to me.

Juice capacity is minimal.

The positive screw is so far extended that it may be an issue on some mods. Works fine with the GPin.

The claim that it has juice flow control is suspect.

When I screw on the top cap with the chimney only partially screwed on, the action of screwing on the top cap catches the chimney and tightens it all the way down. It just isn't designed well for juice control like the Aqua.

So far the Orchid has performed great in vapor production. No leaks, flooding or dry hits. I see great potential in the deck for great builds and ease of builds.

I have 10 highend RTAs. My current favorite all around is the Erlkonigin by far.

K, now the Erlkonigin looks mighty fine, but frak, 4 bills to get this baby? omg, yeah, was in the cart, account set up, throw in a SS tank & drip tip, shipping, 4 bills, damn, is she four bills worth of rba???? And looking at it's air flow has me kind of confused, Is it really going up the 510 connection??? That alone is like a deal breaker for me, don't care how great she vapes. OH well, time to watch the clone clock me guesses.

My bad, accidently had 2 in the cart. woops. glad I didn't check out. lol

edit: came out to $253.59 US, and that's with the 9 ml SS tank, SS drip tip, Crown drip tip adaptor and shipping. Hmm, that seems acceptable. :lol:

I was wondering. I thought you were talking Singapore dollars or something.

I wouldn't pay $400 and I know I didn't even with all the extras I got.

I have 3 Erls now so I guess I've paid over 400. Lol
