Oops.

Thanks dwcraig1, that sounds promising. One question: I use to dry-burn my coils when I rewick them. Will the PTFE be able to whitstand that?

Not without being careful, mines brass

I have had a bit suboptimal experience with this tank with regards to MTL. The airflow hole under the coil is huge, so if the coil is not very big, there is going to be a lot of excess air flowing around but not hitting the coil. This will lead to a bit harsh vape when used for MTL.

I am expecting some PTFE tubing, outer diameter 5mm and inner diameter 3mm, which I will attempt to stuff in the airhole to see if it works better for MTL. Will report back when I have tried that.

mrjohs, have you tried closing the airflow 3/4 of it? how's the airflow, is't still loose? Thank you.

 

[mrjohs]

If you close the airflow too tight, the speed of the air as it hits the coil will be too slow, so you'll still end up with a harsh vape. It is better to restrict it in the airhole underneath the coil.

thank you for your advice mrjohs!

I'm just going to stop using the JC on my black serpent, o-ring fix worked for a bit, until I snapped the o-ring. Now I've decided to just leave the JC open when top filling, using high VG, and just fill quickly, seems OK for me.

The SS one seems to work fine with JC, no o-ring, and doesn't leak.

I'm liking this twisted triple 28g on Serpent better than the Clapton it replaced. Ramps up a bit faster, flavor just as good or better, and lasts a bit longer with NETs before a dry burn is needed.

^ Nice wick job! that's exactly how I do mine and it always works spot on

if i leave my JC open when i fill, it leaks like a sieve. If i close it and burp it, it's fine tho.

Yup, it's worked perfectly from the first build so I ain't changing nuttin.

I've only filled it twice with the JC open, but so far so good. I used 85vg diy juice in it, so its kinda thick, maybe that is why.

Yes, the "S" wick, when looking straight down. Plenty of cotton, tuck it to the side on decks, overlap the juice channels, but don't stuff any down it. Looks great WestPole.

Iv'e got 2.One leaks pretty bad on refill but the other,not a drop....

 

[DP2Raja]

There must have been some bad QC somewhere, mine is excellent.

 

[Kingboomer]

OK, anyone else notice a trend? From what I'm reading, the SS one doesn't leak a drop but the black ones do. Just making an observation, but if I do pull the trigger on one in the near future, make mine SS.

Mine is black, just got it last week & not a drop has leaked. I love mine, everything feels so precise, really is a great feeling & performing tank.

 

[DP2Raja]

SS here. No leaks.

 

[HDMontana]

Black one here. No leaks so far.

I have 2 black and 2 SS. Since installing the o rings mentioned previously in this thread none of them leak a drop. [emoji3]

Sounds great guys. I wasn't trying to start something, just making an observation. On that note, the O-ring I'd need is 10mmO/D, 1mm thick, correct?
