I am not sure if anyone can help. A good friend, fellow Aussie and new member to ECF @mallee00 is looking for tatro tanks. They are no longer made but has anyone seen any old stock in their travels and of course be prepared to deal with Aussies.

At some point, someone might suggest the TTVF RBA V2 for use in Nautilus or Kabuki tanks. If you wish to preserve any sanity you might currently have, ignore that suggestion.

I have one and the biggest hint I can give is magnetise your screwdriver first. Those little screws are microscopic.

I built a horizontal coil (barely) and then it got stuck in the chimney and I disturbed the coil trying to remove. Great idea and I am sure it works for people with VERY dexterous fingers and 20/20 vision

For someone who is half blind and has fat fingers, you wouldn't recommend it.

I got a near perfect 1.5 Ohm vertical coil wrapped. Kept it near perfect as I trimmed the lower lead. Got the lower lead trapped. Distorted the coil a bit getting the top lead set, but was able to straighten things out. Then the top set screw clipped the wire. This was the third attempt. I set it aside for tonight.

I'm having good results with the V1, though...

Personally, I wish they had done something akin to the Melo RBA..

Hubby uses Vaporesso tanks with ccell coils so I got a couple of the melo 3 tanks along with the RBA's. They are a perfect alternative tank for him and I am just waiting for the premade ceramic coils and I will attempt to replicate what he has in the ccell coils.

Yes that's the ones (in the pics) no one seems to sell them anymore so if they are anywhere it would in clearance sections.

Ill poke around and see if I can find anything. Did you post in the WTB section yet?

    Not what I wanted to hear, I was planning to buy some for the stash. Thanks for the heads up though.

    Here are my "dunce" questions. I have a Kayfun v2.1 which I love. This last time that I built it, the vape is really harsh. Does that mean that my coil is in the wrong place or that my wicking is wrong. It has never been harsh before.

    Also, I have a v4 that I bought and have never used. I tried to unscrew the 510 pin so I could get to the airflow controller and now, I can't get the 510 screw to go back in. Did I break something. I've tried for hours and the sucker will not go. I really want to use the v4 because I am really tired of not having top fill. (I'm becoming a true lazy vaper). The v4 has top fill the v2.1 does not. I tried buying the top fill caps for the v2 but when I go to fill all of the liquid comes out of the airflow hole, so I thought I would just go to the V4. Hmmm.

    I have the mini v3, but it is only 19mm and I like the look of the 22mm (and the juice capacity) better. Any suggestions? I feel like such a dufus. Sigh.

    Just had a look at mine. Did you unscrew the airflow out to far. There doesn't seem to be much clearance between the 2 screws.
