Searching for a compact tank

[shortdraw]

Well, my stealth mod will be delivered towards the end of the week, an 18350 mech mod. Searching for a tank style topper that meets the following criteria:
Must have a tank, size is not a concern
The smaller, the better
Flavor is a plus, I'm not a cloudchaser
22mm please, I'd like it to fit flush
No plastic tanks, glass or stainless
No leaks in the pocket!!

I'm open to almost any style but the drippers have been looking attractive, albeit large. I'm still a noob, I've been vaping about a week now so if you could please explain how your recommendation works that would be appreciated. For the record, I have done my research and am confident in my ability to make a safe coil, even though I haven't built one yet. I'm planning on a 1 ohm single or dual coil build depending on what I go with. Thanks for the insight.

The LEMO drop sounds good but it's 23mm. I don't think it's available yet though.

Hi from Alaska

I think the atty that fits all your needs is the Erlkonigin with a nano kit. It's a bit on the pricey side, ($130 w/o shipping) I'm not sure what your budget is. The Erlkoenigin - Nano 3ml (0,1 oz)-EK-042

It is 21mm in diameter and comes with a plastic tank. You can order 22mm glass tanks from IBTanked - Get Tanked With Us! for $7 each.

It annoys me that it is not 22mm but it's tolerable with the 22mm glass tank. It is a tiny atty, but still holds ~3ml of juice. Here is a picture next to a penny for size:

I have it on my mod with a 'hybrid adapter' - this eliminates the need for a topcap on the mech and makes it a little smaller.

It is not hard to build on, but learning to wick it can be finicky. Honestly, if I started over with nothing, I would buy an Erlkonigin and call it good.

You can check the main Erlkonigin thread here for more info: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...zer-systems/573083-erlkoenigin-pictorial.html

slyphex, that's what I was looking for. Seems to be quite a nice piece. I'll take a peek at the thread. Are these available or are they hard to get?

Been Vaping for a week?
Interesting, I like your style.

I would have suggested a Kayfun Nano with Glass Kit, but I do not recommend carrying Glass in ones pocket.

What are your build skills? Might want to cover this before diving in to deep.

Orchid v2 don't use a drip tip and vape straight off the 510 drip tip connector

crxess, yep, I'm diving in head first. My build skills are zero, however, I have watched quite a few build videos and researched the safety guidelines for my particular setup. I have a Tugboat to try a few builds with first, then I'd like to tank it and throw it in my pocket for travel. I don't mind spending good money for quality as long as it's sane.

How fragile are those Kayfun nano tanks?

Pretty solid but if you're really concerned buy an all stainless one

I'll second slyphex on the ErlK nano. If you really must have a 22mm tank, you can order the full size tank as an option on the Erlkonigin website.

If your build skills are zero, it is very good that you have that Tugboat. I suggest you get started immediately with that so that you are somewhat familiar with building before you get a tank. Tanks are a little tougher in the wicking department.

Here's the full sized ErlK with the 22mm Steel tank on my 18350 NemiClone (with an extra small ring)

Here's the ErlP Nano on a 18350 NemiClone and OriginClone respectively:

How bout one of these from FT, genny style.
$9.59 Sat22 Style Genesis Rebuildable Atomizer (3.0ml) - stainless steel + glass / 22mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I'm using one on my SuperT Workhorse, and really liking it.

folkphys, is that a genuine ErlK or a clone? Does anyone know if the genuine nano kit works on the clones?

 

[jaxgator]

I did a comparison of the authentic to the clone that I got from G Vapors and the only part that didn't work was the authentic chimney on the clone. Mind you, that was with the full sized authentic chimney.

I have an authentic nano kit here but I didn't attempt to see if it fit the clone. Not that I remember anyway.

I'm currently awaiting delivery of my Ni200 wire and was going to rebuild one of my authentics with it but might just do it on the clone to see if the nano kit will fit the clone.

I'll post up what I find once the wire gets here. Supposed to be today but one never knows with USPS.

 

[jaxgator]

Well, I just heard the mail man so as I was doing some vape house cleaning, I decided to go ahead and clean the clone up to do the new build. Unfortunately, I didn't get my Ni200. Since it was clean I went ahead and attempted to install the authentic nano chimney on the clone. Sorry to say, but no go! Just like the full size authentic chimney, the nano does NOT fit. It starts to thread on but then just stops and I didn't want to risk stripping the threads off of my authentic nano chimney so I didn't try to force it.

Most of the Nano Glass are Quartz - Very Fragile
You can get Pyrex type Glass replacements

Thanks for checking jax.

It doesn't have a glass tank, but the orchid v1&2 is nice and compact. Lovely vape, also.

The atties in question are first, the ErlK (real) and second, the ErlprinZ (from the same company but cheaper, so "real-ish"). The nano kit is also from the same company (so it's real) and designed for the real ErlK but it indeed fits on the ErlprinZ, as pictured. I do not have any ErlKclones so I cannot speak to their nano-fitment.
