Did you say it whistles? At what point does the whistling start? I'm pretty sure I'll get one. Looks like I can keep it fairly open and hopefully no whistles.

I'm vaping on the jk mini and am VERY pleased. Surprisingly smooth and quiet AF. Love it! Almost mesh-like smoothness. I would follow the company's recommendation to cut the tails to the TOP of the juice cups/wells. I went a little deep and start getting dryness at higher power when I shouldn't.
ETA: I may renege on the company's wicking recommendation because I had a flood after refilling.
I hesitate to mention this because it aggravates some people but it's a clone. Yes, folks, the authentic was out of my budget and I bought this because of a review by an owner of 2 authentic jk minis. He said you can't tell the difference and he'll probably buy another clone. There are only 6 left on the qp website now priced at $49.99. Everywhere else I see them for around $66. They will say if their products are limited, end of production or if they're considering to make more.

I bought the authentic Juggernot Mini first, then I bought the clone. I truly can’t tell the difference. The quality of the one I bought is very good. They vape identically & look the same except for the colors. My OG was black & my clone is SS.
My jk mini clone should be here in a day or two. Also grabbed some spare glass that should fit them.
Half way and onwards you will start to notice it, but it depends on how hard you draw. If you draws are long and slow you will not hear anything
Let me ask you this.......I had a problem today. Well, 2 problems. Everything was going great. I decided to add more juice to the tank and when I started vaping, it flooded badly. I decided to ignore the company's wicking recommendation and rewicked with longer tails. Then a second thing happened. After rewicking I start to fill the tank and the juice just won't go in, meaning it spitbacks. I filled slowly (70 vg) and still no go. I tilted it, put it on it's side, stood it straight up....nothing. Then I used a syringe to get in deeper. I hear a popping sound and blurp! A stream of juice pours down the side of the tank. This has never happened to me before. I assume a BIG air bubble formed inside and cause an air lock. My only assumption is that there is very little space between the air chamber and the glass and it locked up. What to do, what to do? I love how this vapes and I want to keep using it but not if I have to wrestle with it. On a positive note, the rewicking seems to be working out fine....so far.
I really don’t know I haven’t had the problem you had. I wick with rayon & I have the wick ends going in the wick hole half way but after some use & I take a look the wick drops down. I’m using a 3mm ID coil. I do notice you have to fill slowly or it flows out. I hold the tank horizontal when I fill.
Good luck with yours.
Okay, next time I refill I'll do horizontal again but real slow. I have a 3mm ID coil, too. Are you filling with a particular type nozzle? I'll try anything. Do you have the bubble tank on?
Real slow & point the tip at an angle. I use gorilla bottles or unicorn bottles. Yes I use the bubble tank, maybe that’s it if you’re using the straight glass.
No, bubble like you. I pointed it at every angle I could, lol. But seeing that you haven't had an issue with yours it gives me hope that I can work something out with mine. Funny thing these RTAs. Just when you think you have it all figured out.......how many years has it been?
You’ll nail it I’m sure.No, bubble like you. I pointed it at every angle I could, lol. But seeing that you haven't had an issue with yours it gives me hope that I can work something out with mine.

I got this one $20.17 JK Mini Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 2/4.5ml / stainless steel / 24mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Edit: my coil legs were 4.5mm then I snipped them even shorter by 1mm.
Ah ha! I shall try that. I bought the same JK at FT. Maybe Mercury is in retrograde. Always a good excuse.
Thanks for your help, Heartsdelight

let me know how you get on.
As I've not reviewed ALL of them yet, no. There are a couple frontrunners... But I want to finish before naming names.
Careful filling is working out, thx. Wicking is good, too.No problem
My con on the JK Mini is that you can't separate the deck without the glass tank coming away. Therefore, it's not really an RTA where you can pull the deck anytime you want to rewick/build. I don't like that. That and the deck is a pita to thread back on. Not sure this will stay in my daily rotation no matter how much I like the vape.
