The top-fill sxk 2k18 has a 2.5mm airflow hole id, so if you want the tighter draw, you need to replace the center post with a bottom fill sxk post. If you use the juice flow control to fill, it's pretty reliable - just the odd gurgle.
The 2k18 does vape a slight bit differently, the metal cap makes it a bit quieter.
My two Doggies arrived and I've just been using one for the first time. Juice pished out the bottom so replaced that o ring. More juice every where so had a good look and realised the coil was too low so juice was getting into the air hole. Fixed that rather cowboyish and it's now leak free.
I'm actually a bit underwhelmed. It's ok but maybe I was just expecting more after reading all the love on here. For what it cost it's fine but...I'm back on my Berserker mini. Early days so maybe I'll grow into it.

I think the Berserker Mini is the tank I'd be using right now if I wasn't in love with my Doggies so much. It's a great little tank and does benefit over the Doggy from a bit more space on the deck to position the coil safely, but I don't think it's quite as good for flavour and vape quality. I also rated its bigger brother (the full size Berserker) and thought it better than the Kayfun 5 and Prime IIRC. The Berserker range in general are underated tanks IMO.
But a combination of vape quality, flavour, simplicity and consistency are the main reasons that keep me in love with the Doggy and no other recent tank has matched it yet for me. I've said it before (but I really really mean it this time) I've stopped looking now as I am fed up buying new "latest big thing" tanks only to be left disappointed. It will take a huge love fest thread on here now to get me to even think about buying a new tank to test. I think the only reason I have kept testing new tanks to date is I do feel guilty enjoying and favouring a cheap clone so much, but I've spent enough money chasing authentic alternatives now and I'm over it.
I hear you about the Berserker Mini but do keep working with your Doggy and I hope you will soon discover how loyal and rewarding it can be.

As a loyal Doggy 2K16 user (and one, like Rcon, who has stopped looking for anything new...tank, mod, or anything vape replated) I wish I could provide more help to those struggling a bit with it, but I can't. Truth is they've been the easiest and most trouble free tanks to work with, and maintain, that I've ever used from the moment I coiled my first.
They may not be for everyone, for sure. But worth sticking with them for a bit to see if they can be made to work for you.

I highly recommend dropping the ID of the coil to 2mm. I'd never used a coil that small, but early on in this thread, @Dubminer was the Doggy sensei, and recommended it. I dropped from 2.5mm to 2, and couldn't believe the difference in flavor & throat hit. SS 316L, 28ga, 7 wraps spaced, 0.58ohm, >1mm above AF. I'm guessing at the height, but I put it so a little over half the coil is above the screw heads. Like you, I use NET, and I use all VG.
And I found gurgles on this tank almost always meant wick contact with the AF intake. Even if you have the coil over 1mm above the hole, if the shoulders aren't "up," a little, it can kind of cause a path to the hole. Dropping ID of the coil might help with the gurgling, since you'd have less wick potentially in contact where it shouldn't be.
Doggies rarely need it if the wick is placed right, but like other tanks, turning it upside down and blowing sharply through it should clear any condensation or seepage in the base, which is where the gurgle comes from.
The Doggy is my 3rd favorite (after the Prime and Dvarw). I think the simplicity is the best thing about it. My other atomizers have more parts but I don't mind. I can't recall the Doggy leaking or causing me problems. The air flow control is crude. And I'd prefer a narrower chimney but it wasn't originally a MTL atomizer (SXK just used a smaller airflow hole). But it's pretty much problem free for me. Mainly, I just prefer the vape from Prime and Dvarw.
If it doesn't, you can always get your paws on this.

No it doesn't .... it
and that was the first thing I checked. I haven't measured it, but I think the top of the chamber is a different size to the top of the 2k16 chamber - otherwise someone who has a stash of paw printed 2k16 chambers could send you one.
Hello all, I just became an owner of a doggystyle for the first time. I’ll be following and reading this thread for sure!
A Doggy and a/an <insert your favorite device here> are hard to beat!

I can’t get over how much I’m liking MTL. Throwing more in the cart. Still have 45 minutes of DAD coupon at FT

I got my SXK Doggy 2K16, and enjoying it very much. I don't even see the bottom fill as a con, as this allows me to properly check the status of my cotton I would for sure recommend it, especially for that price!
Agreeing with @Cool_Breeze that it is great on the Pico (75 watt), perfect fit and looks

My fav box mod setup for the Doggie. For tube, I like the balance in hand a light weight Doggie is on a ProVari Mini

That’s why I wanted the Doggy to go with my newly acquired Provari Mini.My fav box mod setup for the Doggie. For tube, I like the balance in hand a light weight Doggie is on a ProVari Mini
