the new mini istick 30 and 50 watts are just about releasing so you can have the small form at a cheap price[emoji4]
Today I decided to take the steel tank apart on my FT "OEM" Aqua....mostly because I wanted to see the serial number and what fish I had.
Proud owner of #003 Shark here.
LOL... 583 here... cheers
Just got this little beauty from 101 vape, ordered on Thursday here on Saturday. I LOVE this thing. I never had the v1, it seemed like a lot of work for such a small capacity. This v2 has enough capacity and the flavor is fantastic. I will probably pick up the authentic if I can scratch up enough money
Got my #441 Shark the other day. Made me realize how much of an impulse buy this really was. I'm not big on cotton/rayon/fiber wicks. Nor do I really do dual coils. This thing seems made for dual fiber wicks only, lol.
At some point I will set it up with mesh. Possibly single wick and plug off the other deck holes. Anyone got some hands-on with this approach? Guess I'll just have to wing it.

From all the reviews and videos i've been checking out on the aqua,it doesn't seem like mesh would work to good in these.Everything i have seen has the wick going down the channels,and i think that would probably be difficult with mesh.As for single coil,i have seen alot of people mention running it that way with no issues,just use the included screw to plug 1 air hole,and then stuff some cotton into the channels on the side where the airhole is blocked.
Running mine on single coil, and as you say stuffed some rayon in the other channels and have had no issues
I have never tried it, but silica can be used as well.
It would seem a little cramped to me for running mesh, but sounds like you may have more experience in that department than I.
I'm running single as well. one thing I've done last two wicks is secure the blocking-wick down with the unused airhole screw. I use japanese cotton, so I just poke a tiny hole in a piece of pad and screw it down.
Finally. After sitting at home for weeks, im finally home with my OEM Aqua v2.
I gotta say, regardless of whether it is REALY from the factory or not, the quality of this is astoundingly good. Got that fancy tin can, all parts are machined extremely nicely.
Got her build up and she's a great vape. Airflow fully opened is sufficient for a restricted lung inhale, good vapor production, warm vape. Big fan.
Only thing I don't quite like about it is that the chamber piece is one unit (similar to the orchid). I much rather something like the kfl or the fogger v4: allows you to screw in the chamber barrel piece first, make sure wick is all nice and tidy before screw everything else on.

Agree with the latter part. Would be easier with the Kayfun channels.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not judging the Aqua for what it really is. Seems like an excellent atty. I'm just looking at it from a mesh perspective. Which is sort of silly. It's all just for fun.

I felt the same......But after using this little guy for a few weeks with a number of quick and dirty re-wick jobs, I still only get the thing to dry out when the tank is fully empty. So I'm sold. Plus, I think that a few turns of the tank open and closed serves to loosen any wick-in-channel blockages. But those channels are quite deep, and like its little brother (the v1), one can really stuff the snot out of them. Not recommended, but darn nearly unchokeable nonetheless. To me, the ability to re-wick/re-coil with a full tank as worth the bother of all those imprecise wick stuffages.
Mine still gets a slow leak from the insulator under the 510. I tightened everything up but to no avail
Hehe. Quick dirty dual coil at 0.4 ohms. Vaping like a boss
Also... I've been trying to maximize the airflow as much as I possibly can... And for my unit at least, when the airhole is fully expose, the tank section is a wee bit wobbly. Seems like that's the only machining flaw...
OH. Anyone can help answer this? Is there supposed to be only ONE airhole?

So I've been interested in getting a tank style atomizer to use while commuting to and from work, and I've been interested in this one. My question is, is there a definitive "best" clone out there?
The FT OTM and Tobecco are both working great. Haven't heard much about the others.
Check the o ring. Someone else had one that fell out or moved during cleaning.
don't think there is one but I can't get that white delrin insulator out from the deck
had everything else off including deck pins. the whole 9

I have the Ft otm clone and i give it 10 out of 10. I have authentic sophia, Erlkonigin and authentic Kayfun and it feels of the same quality if not better. For the price its just a done deal. I also find it so easy to set up. its very hard to get wrong i think as the channels are so big. Also i find the cotton has not caught tbe threads at all unlike my orchid v4 clones where its a bit more finicky. Anyway I highly recommend this clone and this atty. Also single coil with twisted 30 gauge has been a complete joi and zero leaks with it in use and taken all over the place.
