OK the Ruz and I are not friends right now...LOL, I jinxed myself...I have built three coils, tightened the deck screw, loosened it....it does not fire on the Provari...reads 1.4 then OP....on ohm reader it reads 1.4.....grrrrr...cannot for the life of me figure out the issue. And the coil screws are mushy feeling, hard to tighten down and stay down...searching the forums for answers...

Got it, it hates my beauty rings...

So you got it working? what are your first impressions? I am really wondering about this one.

Thanks

It has a nice draw. Not too tight, not too loose. I love that you can remove the sleeve and slide the quartz glass down to fill...very easy that. Not all drip tips fit it as the drip tip hole is a little narrow. I could have put a bit more wicking in, treated it like a kayfun. Next time I wick I will use more but follow the Kayfun wicking style and keep the wick against the deck wall.

Over all it is a good vape, not sure yet if I like it more than the Kayfuns. Will see on the next re-wick.

In order of draw from airy (1) to firm (4)
1) Tobeco Orchid
2) Fogger -fully adjustable but wide open can be quite airy
3) Kayfun and EHPro Kayfun
4) Ruzgar

In order of ease of filling (1) Easy to (3) harder

1) Ruzgar
2) Kayfuns and Orchid (same process)
3) Fogger - The airflow control ring gets in the way of unscrewing it from the mod a bit. Not too annoying but I wouldn't try it after a beer or two, LOL

I like all of the tanks. I would have liked the Ruzgar a bit better if it would tolerate a ring and if the screws didn't feel as soft as they do. In fairness, maybe I am just tired and fussy...LOL. Let's see what happens if I rebuild it with Nickel and run it on the XPV...:D

After I fixed my brand new Heron, it's vaping pretty well. Seems GP's QC is slacking big time. The 510 adapter I got with it was garbage too, but they're replacing that for me. After we get everything sorted out I need to mod one of the pins for my Ant. They're both a 201 connection, but the Ant is so tiny. I had to back out the switch a little to get it to work for now.

ProAnti :blush: This is my new favorite mod.

How's everyone doing tonight?

Today I was at the gas station and waiting for the other 40 cars lined up to get gas and saw a woman holding a Provari. First time I've seen one out in public. Then I almost ran her over. But not on purpose.

Well, that's one way to get a Dragon.

You have lines to get gas? Not fun!

I'm thinking on buying an Erl next week, with nano kit and open pin options.
Dunno whether to buy a stainless tank for it, or buy IBTs glass ones though. :unsure:

I went ibt... 7 bucks was well worth it. But I hate stainless tanks as a personal preference. I like the look of clear or glass. Kind of a modern machine look.
And on a rodmod I definitely wouldn't want stainless. The Long metal shape bothers me.

Just so you know. The erl in full siZe Looks the same size keep shorter of a taifun in nano mode and from what I understand it tends to go through juice quicker than a kayfun.

Taifun nano mode, erl standard, kayfun nano mode. And the erl at that size holds 6ml.

I'm considering stainless as it'll potentially be used at work. I'm a fan of stainless tanks with glass sighting windows, but the Erl doesn't have that as an option.
The nano option isn't going to be permanently used, more a choice for when I want a small stealthy vape device. And if I end up addicted to the Erl I'll buy a second, one set at each size. :vapor:
Don't have a kayfun, so the juice comparison is over my head. lol

KAyfun nano And taifun nano both hold only 2.5 MLS of liquid... as does does the erl in nano mode. IM just insured of the size of the erl nano. But it's Gotta be cute. Odds are I'll end up getting a nano kit for it when I get a konigin just to have it onhand.
