I need more posts so i can enjoy this site =) This is only my second post, ive been vaping for 2 years and into the good stuff for about 1. I am a poor person, so i cant afford anything but clones and even that is rough. I do have an authentic atomic, its the only rda i have so i cant compare it to any other experience lol but it works great and ive gotten to the point where i can get some really wonderful vapes. I do notice that with lower ohm builds like .3 .2 the juice burns off of the cotton so fast that even though it is saturated the area around the coil drys out too fast, even with nano dragon builds, i think its just not feeding from the well fast enough, i usually use one long piece of cotton, thread it through both coils and over the posts, so when i drip it drips right on the top and works really well. I just ordered an ohm reader " ive been using my svd" and some sony vtc5s and i really wanna get down to the .1 ohm realm but idk if the cotton can handle it, anyone have a good method? Anyway the point of this forum was to try and get a discussion going about panzer clones. I found a few on here that helped me make my decision but since ebay usually has free usps shipping im gonna have to wait about a week to get it. I was really reluctant to order because you have to use usps and they just recently took 3 weeks to send me some juice from Virgin Vapor that shipped priority, I have never had worse customer service in my life, i talked to two different people and they both seemed to have Stockholm syndrome lol they just went on and on about how horrible usps was and to never use priority mail because since its only a few dollars more most people use it over first class, ugh anyway. I was stuck between either the Infinite, the ehpro, and shenxi. I have heard great things about infinite, i was originally going to buy the king v2 from them, which seems like a great mod, but ive wanted a panzer for a long time. I just always assumed that the clones were cheap. The ehpro seems very similar to the infinite and i know they make good clones, i have a copper caravela from them and other than a few issues it does what its supposed to, the button comes unscrewed way to easy and the pins are all the wrong lengths for a good fit. Than i found the shenxi which looks great. It has the copper connections and even a gold plated atty connection. The only problem is that i just spent 65 bucks on a clone. I have never heard of shenxi but from my hours of digging it is the best one, some say better than the original, which i doubt, but it does have a .1 less voltage drop =) lol Anyone own one of these or all three and can help make me even more impatient?

Yeah i usually stay around .4 and its perfectly fine but im going to mess around with some super low coils, i go through coils like crazy. I am getting pretty good at it. My favorite build so far is a double nano dragon coil at around .3 .4 ohms it just has taken a lot of practice to get the cotton wicking down, you want a lot of cotton around the coils but as little as possible every where else or the excess cotton will soak up all the juice and not burn, ive gotten the best vape production and flavor with that method, now just a simple dual micro coil produces just as much vapor but not quite the flavor at higher ohms, but i almost only use citrus flavored juice. I have also noticed that the better quality the juice the less i have to drip, idk why but this organic strawberry lime cooler im using lasts twice as long as the local stuff.

I picked up the black Panzer clone from 88evape and I could not be more pleased. Fast shipping and it only cost about 35 bucks. I don't know which company cloned it, but that is irrelevant because it is an great unit. However, I recommend the brass Stingray clone from the same site.

I got that exact same item in the mail yesterday from the same website!!! I'm loving it!! I noticed an immediate difference when I slapped my dripper on it! That mod and the brass stingray would be awesome for the OP

Now all you have to do (IMO) is run down to the local Home Depot and get a roll of Corry's Snail Guard and place two strips inside of your Panzer. You will be AMAZED at how much better the copper foil tape makes your mechanical perform. Do a search on youtube for "Panzer Voltage Drop Fix" and see exactly how to do it. It costs about $8 per roll of 15ft, but you will only need about 6 inches per mechanical mod. Trust me, it makes your steel mechanical hit like a copper mod!:D

I'll have to look into that, I mean this thing already performs marvelously, it's almost impossible to imagine it getting any better lol! Either way, I'll grab a roll if I think of it on my way home from work in the morning.

This shenxi panzer is absolutley the best mod I've used. The voltage drop is 0.11 it has 100 % copper connections, a floating pin, a copper spring, and a gold plated 510. With some vtc5s, an authentic atomic, and a simple dual micro coil build at .19 ohms this thing is really producing. Couldn't be happier. I'm really glad I spent the extra money on this one rather than getting the infinite or ehpro, from what I've seen their voltage drop is somewhere around 0.7 and no floating pin. Well worth the extra 20 bucks.
