I've settled in nicely with a 3mm coil in Nanos.
No RBA but ...
Name drop and what a great sub ohm tank it is, much better than the Crown 3 in my opinion.
Uwell Valyrian.
Does not leak, very good flavor, excellent top fill, very good coils, quad vertical coil. 5ml or 8ml capacity, no dry hits at 100 watts, wicks max VG, zero spit back.
No RBA but ...
If you just want to throw a coil in and forget about it and vape for a few weeks then this is worth considering.
Uwell's best yet

Sorry about the uploads, I'm in a rush and on my phone, plus the new ECF server has mashed up the upload option...
It's a great sub ohm tank, personally an RBA doesn't bother me, I have RTA's for that and most rba decks suck.Strike three...
The Engine Nano deserves mush respect for bringing dry hits and flooding to new generations. Most us cut our teef on Kayfuns and kno all about dry hits and burnt hits and flooded tanks. Which gives us a huge respect for modern gear. My last dry hit ws a couple years ago. I'd actually lost my fear. The Engine brings that all back. What an absolute piece of crap. Two years ago it would be garbage but in a sea of garbage. These days its a turd floating gracefully in a pristine Adirondack lake. I'm just in awe of how aweful this thing is.
I have great luck with the Nano and dual Engines. I use various forms of cotton only. I have 5 Nanos and watch for sales, I want to pick up a couple more.I can't understand why some people are having so much trouble with this tank. I absolutely LOVE mine, and I have six now. I'd have a hundred if I could afford them. Is it the cotton? I wick with rayon only, and it's so simple. Twist up enough to fit in the coil very snugly (I make a 3mm single wire coil), then fluff it back out and snip the ends off level with the detente (I don't know what you call that) just below the deck level. Wet with some juice and tuck the ends just into the wick holes. Not very far, just inside, but I don't thin them at all. In fact, if I don't have enough wicking in there, to completely fill the hole, THAT'S when I get gurgling and wet hits. I don't think I've ever had a dry hit on one of these, ever, but I have had a few occasions of gurgling. I just pull the insufficient wick out and make another, fatter one, to replace it and the problem is solved. Seriously, this is the best tank I've ever used. No leaking, no dry hits, easy to fill, easy to coil and wick, simple and low-maintenance, it just ticks all the boxes for me.
Sean, don't you also use rayon? If so, I just don't understand why it's not working for you. I can't comment on cotton because I've never used it, but if those who are having dry hit problems are wicking with cotton, maybe try using rayon once or twice? Maybe that would help.

I generally use AVS tri core fc in mine. I'm going to order some 316l ss twisted wire today to try out. Have one Nano with single wire build installed, it's okay, prefer fc.So they do work with cotton, then. I sure wish I could figure out what the problem is with Sean's tank. It's such a wonderful tank. I'm not running Claptons, either, though, just single wire coils running around .4 ohms or so, at 35 watts. I guess maybe it's perfect for that combination, maybe not for bigger (badder ) coils. Mine worked flawlessly with the little Clapton that came with it, but that was a small Clapton, and didn't require more than 40W. I wish I could find some more of THOSE! That was a great little coil, I must say, but my single wire coils do a good job for me, too, so I don't complain.
Lannie or I would give her a good home. I'm the same way with SMM. Can't seem to get a solid flavorable vape out of it. Hits great, no leaks, but not near as good the flavor as the Nanos.
Same deal for me, I put dozens of builds in the Nano for a mediocre vape at best. The juice disappeared nicely but the vape was meh... They all say in the nano thread that a 2mm coil works the best in it. I haven't built a 2mm coils since the Kayfun mini days, even my regular Kayfun's all had 2.5 or 3mm coils. The nano works best for those that vape a 2mm coil less than 20W IMHO. Piff it, it's just not worth the agro.I've done single 24ga kanthal. Single 24ga SS. Little clapton. Big clapton. Tons of cotton. Wisps of cotton. A pillowcase of rayon. Wisps of rayon. Slots packed full. Slots empty.
I've always been a hard hitter. Its why early vape gear never worked for me. But the hole in that theroy is the Nano has great airflow. It just can't flow joose fast enough. Until I under wick it and flood it.
Honestly I'll never use this tank even it I nail it. I don't like things so fussy the moons need to aline a certian way to build it right.
Most likely mail it to the crap tank repository. Its in SD and I have the addy here somewhere..................................
??? South Dakota, what about it?Take a look at Lannies location
Baaaahhhh 12 Monkeys...Also picked up some Tropika by twelve monkey's, man that is a nice juice but also very expensive, my treat juice for when I'm in the sun..
