Holy balls! Just ripped the vapemail open and cleaned this berserker mini. I’m a bit ocd when it comes to vape devices. I’ve always bought authentic stuff like kayfuns and zen (kabuki, zenesis, etc) because I like high quality materials and great craftsmanship. My first impression is that this tank is great. It has a nice weight to it. Threading is good. Unit is clean (even though I still washed it). It feels and looks like a high quality device. Took moments to build. I built a 2.5mm 28g 5 wrap kanthal coil that came in at 1ohm. Threw in some Sally’s rayon and my adv juice and wicked it like a kayfun. I put on the tank, then screwed down the chimney. I closed the airflow hole and filled. Once full, I put the top on with barely a turn and turn it over. One the air had made it’s way to the top, I screwed the cap down. Opened the airflow to the highest setting and took some primer drags. Flavor and vapor are great! Not ready to put my kayfuns away yet... but I like this tank from the first toot. The vape is a little warm with my setup but that’s not a bad thing. Throat hit is good with 6mg juice but I might try 12mg. I’m impressed. I’ll keep vaping it and see how it goes.

Thanks for the thoughts! I'm considering getting a Berserker Mini to match my 24mm Berserker. Glad to hear it's good too. I like the look of the metal tank as well, but I'd be nervous I'm going to run out of juice all the time. :')

I vaped that tank dry in a couple of hours. I was laying on the couch chain vaping however. It help up well with that. I am using 30pg/70vg juice so I would intentionally flood the atty and it never leaked out of the airflow hole. It did pop juice out of the drip tip but that is to be expected, the chimney is so small. Just testing the limits and what I can get away with. I am confident that I won't have any leaking from the airflow hole that I see people reporting as long as you close it off and flip it over to screw the top down after filling.

What...Tootle Puffer thread on page 2....Bump!!!
Yea, it has been slow around here as of late. Not sure where everyone is at. Used to be if I didn't check the thread a couple of times a day, I would get behind, now it might be a couple of days without a post. :(

Everyone's either on the Shiny thread or on the FDA threads. Tootle Puffers and Cloud Chasers ALL have shinyitis. And, the FDA is getting everyone's attention again.

Here's a weird thing: I was getting low on juice for my main devices and it occurred to me that the flavors have been mattering to me less and less. I was doing 50/50@12mgs for quite a while, but noticed that I wasn't really feeling the nic either to go along with my overall "blah" on flavors. So I looked at the Nicotine River website to see what the prices would be for unflavored stuff. I ended up grabbing a gallon of unflavored 50/50@18mgs and some 30 ml squeeze bottles to get the price up to the free shipping point. Turns out I was onto something because I'm satisfied again with this stuff. And then I saw the thread about a possible FDA flavor ban.

I've recently cut all my flavorings in half. And, I've never used high percentages of flavoring in the first place. Plus, I have started having unflavored in my daily rotation. Sometimes it's enough, sometimes not.

People say that the nic is the most expensive part. But, it's not. The flavorings are. Besides the actual cost of the flavorings, there's the expense of going through a lot more coils because of gunking.

Time to stock up on nic.

I do still have a bunch of little 10 ml bottles of various flavors. Those are 66PG@18mgs for my stealth vape that doesn't ever go over 12 Watts. I was going to just toss in 5 ml of VG and put them in my squeeze bottles one at a time to use in my main devices, but now I'll leave them alone and just continue to stealth vape with the stuff. My little stealth vape has ceramic coils that really bring out the flavor and it's my last line of defense against smoking that I carry with me everywhere. So I'm set for a loooong while.

Ok, we need to get some activity here. I normally don't tell, but my Birthday is March 24th 1959, so I will be an OLD 59 tomorrow. :(
Now you have it, just don't tell anyone. :lol:

I'm kind of torn. One the one hand I want to rail against The Man for threatening to take flavors away, because it's stupid. On the other hand I am really liking the simplicity of this unflavored liquid. I need to work up some outrage perhaps.
