@listopencil are you still using/enjoying the Elitar? (Hope i don’t have you mixed up with someone else)

Yeah, I still have that Elitar. It works great. I just haven't used it much recently because I have grabbed some new toys since then.

I ordered one yesterday

Cool. I think you'll like it if you're after a pipe experience. I think it's a great little single battery mod. I only got the mod. I've heard that the tank that it normally comes with isn't all that great but I don't know because I've never used it, so I can't offer any first hand input on the thing. But I am very happy with the mod itself.

I only got the mod also. I feel like it might go well with a tron tank - I wonder if the gold colors match (not that I really care). Did you get a pipe-y drip tip for your set up?

I never did get a special drip tip for it. I like the compact form factor. I was taking it to work in a zippered eGo carrier.

San Bernardino area, So. Cal.
Man, I just spent another half hour on the Doggystyle.... I was able to disassemble it, but MAN. That thing just SUCKS. I think it's the screws that are flat phillips head not whatever those X screws are like. I just CANNOT get the darn wire trapped underneath it. I gave up in disgust (but at least it is disassembled, LOL) I wonder if I can replace them with the X screws, it's just impossible (for me) not to FAIL BADLY when using those screws. This tank is SO FRENCH (and I lived there, so I get to rant) it just wants to be DIFFICULT, annoying and rude, LOL.

I will update again later but that sucker just.... ARGH.

I think I shall try to replace the screws next time. SOMETHING. There's only so much RTA I can take at one sitting. Jeezzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

If it doesn't work next time I am giving it away. :)

Possibly what you need is a hex head screw. Those usually have more flat area across the underside of the head and work better. Unfortunately, I don't know what size that would be. I know it's not a 3X3mm cause I tried one and it's too big.

YOU CAN'T HATE IT AS MUCH AS I DO!

I tried both the SMJY and SXK versions.

building it was easier for me to build than Kompact Kayfun.

I hated SMJY because it leaked unless I put a 2.5mm coil in it. also the flavor was lacking.

SXK no leaking at all. Couldn't get any flavor, and could not get a MTL cape out of either version.

there are so many people raving about MTL and flavor.

all I can say I wish someone would send me a sample of whatever they're smoking.

I woyldnt trade a Kompact Kayfun for a dozen doggy's

I woyldnt trade a Goblin Mini or Silverplay nano for 25 doggy's

Well, good to know if I fail, I may not be missing much, and yes people do rave and I really want to try it! @oplholik, I'm just gonna give the deck to the husband, he can find me the right hex screw, it seems to me he might have every screw ever made, stashed away in his tool SHED. LOL. I'll see how it goes from there.... I didn't throw it today, so I consider that progress.... :)

I tossed the SMJY after it peed on my mod and woyldnt get a decent flavor.

then people raved about the SXK. me a glutton for punishment got three of the ____ things. all three were put in file 13 before having them 24 hours.

My husband will know the size, so once I ask him, I will let you know if someone hasn't already.

TINY FLAT HEAD PHILLIPS SCREWS, yeah, that's a fantastic idea, Le Doggystyle designers. Thanks for that. Some really good choices there, LOL.

Anna

I prefer flatheads....lol. they don't strip as easy.

That's a good point. I like Phillips because it's easier to sit the screwdriver but a flat head will last longer when you are dealing with tiny screws. Especially if you have too much grip strength and find it occasionally difficult to moderate your fine motor movement. I just accidentally clamped down on my deck instead of wire yesterday and broke off the handle of my wire snips.

I prefer the awesome "catch" situation that happens with the Siren V2, that was the easiest coil installation of all time. Maybe if I get rid of the doggystyle I'll get another Siren, that is quite some tank (I have a steampunk, so the diameter is no biggie for me. In fact, it would be fair to say that I ADORE that tank, generally. It has great flavor too.... :) So, I guess there's something for everyone. I very much doubt that I'll strip a hex screw, those I can deal with (helped build a deck at one point, well "helped" might be more like it, but I like hex screws quite a bit...)

I always hate the hex screws because with the tightening it isn’t very smooth with the curved hex key

They annoy me mainly because I have to find the right size for them. But, yeah, turning it from the curved end is fiddly.
