    Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

I've been running my erlk exclusively on my sigelei 100w! Only problem is the 510 is a little too short so I'll NEEDA adjust the mod's 510 connection. Been vaping mine using a MM coil at 31watts. Huge vapor and the flavor is intense.

Even with the spacer installed Kiwi?

Well just found out the clone is sitting at my house awaiting my arrival. Another hour at work then another hour and a half to get home..... geez, anticipation sucks. Pics and review as soon as I get to playing with it. Rayon and kanthal already waiting. :) hopefully this works out better than the Russian fiasco.

Vapor should not be less, unless you've got the air supply restricted. You should also be able to crank it up a bit more if you've got the wicking right.

The combination of proper wicking + right voltage/wattage + air flow will give you the best of both flavor and vapor.

Update:

I'm down to 1/4 tank now (already!!!) and I haven't changed anything but the clouds are much thicker and it doesn't feel "wet" anymore. Taste is the same (good). I usually have a little more than 1/2 tank with my KFL+. I might try re-wicking again.

You will be using more than the KFL, because the KFL is almost miserly with how much juice it provides to the coil. :)

The bigger deeper juice channels, 1.4ohm coil vs 1.7ohm as well as the higher power 10W vs 7W.. will all result in better, more efficient juice consumption.

Like Jax stated above - it is in your box.

Even with the extra spacer mine wouldn't make contact on my Pvari w/ring (yeah, not a provape ring).
Nothing a small slice of air-line used as an extra spacer didn't fix. Ghetto mod for the win! lol :facepalm:

edit: Haha it censored the abbreviated version of For The Win. Forgot there was a second, not nice, phrase that abbreviates the same way. lol

Sometimes when you fill a fresh build, it is possible to slightly flood chamber and if you don't clear it, it could stay for a while. If you do find a slight gurgle after a fill you can clear it by doing this/ remove afc ring, loosen drip tip and turn cap to open fill holes, then blow hard thru drip tip for a bit. Once done, close fill holes and tighten back drip tip. This will push out juice from chamber thru the air intake at base near 510 threads. Once drip tip is tightened wipe away whatever juice that may have been forced out at the base. One thing to note, when blowing thru drip tip, the juice in tank will be bubbling, just like blowing thru a straw in a glass of water, if your juice levels are kind of high, just hold a tissue near fill holes in case it bubbles out.

I'm loving the vape on the ErlK. Granted I have a clone from Gvapers and not the original but it still rocks.

The only issue I'm having is the occasional leaking. I have tried a few different types of wicks. When I keep high shoulders and a little more KGD I don't get any leaking however I do get dry hits. Usually about half way through the tank I can start tasting burnt wick as well. If i keep less KGD in the wick and as a result my shoulders aren't that high my ErlK tends to leak more, I don't get dry hits though.

Is it just about finding the balance or am I doing something wrong?

What you can try is to make the wick just right in coil ( your preferred amount not worrying about shoulder) then saturate wick and place a plug of cotton on top of existing shoulders. Don't make this plug to high, but just enough to add like 1 to 2 mm to existing shoulders. Then saturate these plugs and press them down and Matt to existing shoulders. Once this pad is wet, it will stay in place, just don't make them really high, Then I take another little pad and tuck it up under existing shoulders, these little pads are wedged between the deck and underside of original wick ends against channel arms, this also brings up shoulders slightly

I have come to the conclusion that the erlk has a brain. When I first received it, i had a few issues here and there but after quite a few tweaks it seems I cannot make a bad build. What I think happens is the erlk needs to feel that perfection, once it does, it remembers it and replicates it most of the time regardless of the build. Or another possibility is that the erlk plays hard to get at first and does what it wants, but after a while it says" ok you have paid your dues and now I will cooperate".

Thanks! Will try a bit of extra padding with KGD on the shoulders tonight.

Isn't that how most successful relationships work!! We're talking about wives and girlfriends right??!
