Didn't want to comment this on his channel, so as to not mess with his followers. But I did post two comments there to set things a bit right. And probably I'll do one more!

Beat me to it :) YouTube was being pissy when I went to throw in my tuppence on the spacer and a few other things in the review, glad to see somebody getting the info out there. Worst part about wanting to leave a comment was making the mistake of reading some of the ones already there - those are brain cells I'll never get back.

Well, I had to. Posted a few more comments there. And this one lastly: "Phil, remember you are one of the Top Reviewers of our vape stuff. Topmost in my list btw. Your review can 'make or break' the value of the gear you portray. Thus, you need to be more specific with everything you do, your every move is being "watched" :) whether you like it or not nowadays. All the things you mentioned as 'issues' with the Erlkonigin is in reality it's "pros". This is actually a well designed product. Pretty much 'fail safe' too. And besides the Atmistique EVIVA it is the cheapest atty in its quality."
 
Btw, I get nothing out of my Erlk advocacies from the designer/manufacturer. Nothing comes free to me, or even a mention of me anywhere. It's just that this atty is so damn good that I do what I do. I speak out for my love of it!

Kind of a sad comment that you actually have to say that explicitly. Seems to be an inevitable part of the commoditization of many hobbies, though, as the paid shills begin to drown out the people who just honestly love a given product/service/other.

This is actually a well designed product. Pretty much 'fail safe' too.

Unexpected upside of Phil's review: it drove me to do a teardown and rebuild from scratch after watching his "pack the cotton" build. End result, best coil I've done to date, and a wick I'm really happy with :vapor::vapor::vapor:

So I blame Qorax.

The price list comparison turned into my shopping list. I've acquired or ordered all but 2. One because of unavailability. ..the other because I've had it and sold it.

#13 FlashEVapor v3 you didn't list.

It'd be available again on September 1st ;)

Well, another delivery attempt was made today, woke up to relieve some pressure, went up stairs expecting to find Erli on me door step. Since I left a signed hanger on my main door. Opened the door to find another fracking door hanger, sorry we missed you. To say I was livid, would be way under stated.

Called the frakers cell :evil: and lit into him. he goes but, but, did you leave it on the same door I hung mine on?? NO, I put it on the door you could easily see from your fraking truck, without getting out. grr,

At this point, once off the phone, was so fraking loosing it, hulk like, seek destroy, kill, kind of thing :D that I couldn't get back to sleep. Sooo, went online to DHL wed site to log a complaint, the live chat popped up, just before was going to send me message, asking if assistance was needed, well, copied and pasted me final edit of my big beeche and, after saying, no I don't want to file a complaint against the driver, just want me package. she promised delivery the next day.

Couple hours later, after my morning shower, and while making coffee, went to go check the vapebox, noticed my hand written note & the door hanger authorization was missing, went to the side door, and there she was, Erli Was Home.!!! :D

Threw on a 0.4 ohm coil, ramie fiber wick, stipped wick in half, trimmed off the top part, tirmming the tail in the channel and 1-2 mm from the bottom

Damn, sorry about the delay, hang on, :vapor::vapor:Damn, that's a good vape:D any who, just finished my first tank load, and had to refill this thirsty girl. Received the 23mm 9ml tank, along with the crown ss drip tip and adaptor, so at work, went through at least 7 ml, and I also had 2 other mods with flashi V2's on them. Erli wasn't the only vape being used. Although I did drain a VTC4 down to 3.2 volts, lower than I like. woops :D

K, must say, the Erlkonigin is one fine rba. Probably one of the smoothest draws out there, oh, by the way, I am not using that silly ac thingy, find that when builds are 0.4 ohms and lower, ac is the last thing needed, have removed all ac rings and or screws from all me rba's. just not needed. Think my major beatch abour Erli, is the lack of post hole's. I've been using 22 gage Kanthal lately, and trappin under screw heads can prove problematic. and the space between the positive screw head and side wall are so close, had to wrap around counter clock wise, to avoid shorting.

Though do like the fill holes, find filling the SS tanks easier to unscrew the top cap, fill her up, fasten the tank top cap, since there's 2 air holes, there is no danger of pressure flooding the build, like a kafun would,

had to laugh at P.B's comment about being surprised it didn't flood upon filling, :lol:, common, really? lmao

After finger tightening then tighten with the top cap, good to go, no flood gurgle, nota.

This is one fine rba, is it perfect??? almost, but not, but then again, everyone's vape is different. Once Max gets back with his upgrades, will see how Erli likes 90 watts, sure she'll handle 75 no prob. I simply love that she can hold 9 ml's of juice on board with out having to do an extension. Can easily see her always by my side.

Feel she is a fantastic addition to any collection, glad she's here. For my first wicking, have it almost where it needs to be, think a few strands of fiber have to be removed in the wick channels though, but will give it another day for the cell walls to firm up before modifying. Right now it vapes almost as good as my flashi's do. Have them all with the exact same build all within 0.02 ohm's of each other. But then have been building the flashi since before Christmas. :D

any who, a worthy contender, and a must have for tank lovers. Will definitely keep an eye on this designer. Good chit, but then you all know that, just takes a bit longer for Phil. :lol:

I almost took offense to pbusardos review.

Heres why. He spent 3-4 weeks learning and understandng with the Evic Supreme. Most juice reviews he does he atleast vapes them for a week. He spent 2.5' days with the erlkonigin and expects to give a comprehensive review....come now


He also wasnt building his coils with kathal, but with nichrome which negatively affected his review.

He also didnt mention any othee vendors who all have it for way cheaper than 185. Like itaste.de and the manufacturer. So yea all in all a pretty sloppy job by someone who usually does an impeccable job.

I can see him havin a new video up i 2 weeks called "erlkonigin...review update and apology" lol.

I paid 150 for my erlk shipped from intaste. Thats on par and cheaper than many high end atties out there.


A little hasty, phil

He did say it was the NiChrome that tasted bad and changed his opinion at the end of the review..

I actually loved the foreign versions reviews best. Put it on mute and listen to some classic rock. Life guards vid was very thorough, on it's beak down, assembly and building.

Was entertaining seeing some of these guys coiling skills though, going really? umm, that might work ok lmao

edit: Oh, think my wick just hit the seasoned and broke in stage, just took a few vapes and BAM, flavor got cranked up a notch. BOOM, Damn it's cloudy in here. Still thinking of peeling a few strands though. Will figure that out after I burn off this 9 ml fill up.

Great little thing that I found: Circuit Board Spacer

I grabbed a few of these and I am using them in place of the positive pole spacer washer. It gives a little bit of extra height compared to the washer, so if anyone was having trouble with connection even with the spacer I would recommend this. It's also a bit cheaper and I like it because it can stay with the mod where it is needed.

Going on about 3 weeks with my Erlkonigin, including a fishing trip to Canada where it stood up quite well (with the plastic tank of course). Looks fantastic on an Atmizoo Lab with ice matte finish and on a couple Super-T Precise+. Also just got hold of some Pima Cotton to wick it with and the flavor is outstanding.
