I have a couple of PC bell caps around here, could probably part with one if needed.
Become a Patron!
I think I will order one soon I forgot I won a Geekvape Tnusami 24. LOL I have no clue but I'll pack it away for the future. Geekvape sells coils for their tanks. Who knows It looks like its just been released.
The best clone that I know of, is on FT. ToolmanTexas steered me toward it. https://www.fasttech.com/products/0/10016054/3718300-hurricane-styled-rta-rebuildable-tank-atomizerAny U.S sellers? I'm starting research related to your suggestion.I'm looking for single coil to start out with.
Edit: forgot about ebay. Tons of stuff. They do have the hurricane 2 which seems okay. At least it appears to have glass.
OMG I never considered ebay but they have tons of rtas. I'll have to sift thru the listings.Looks like I can't post ebay stuff. Crap!
I'm sure if you vapecrawler search it, it will find it for you.
@Brewbear
You were talking about making restrictor inserts for various tanks. I was reading the discussions on the hurricane looking for oring sizes or a place to buy them when I came across someone inserting the rubber insulator from a protank coil into the air hole in the hurricane to reduce the airflow. I'm sure you have many different types of coils around so maybe one of those insulators will serve the same purpose for you.

That is the best Hurricane clone, great machining and parts.

@CDroverNL, it may be hard to believe, but I never owned a protank of any kind. My vaping related projects have been put on the back burner for now.
The nautilus coils also use the same kind of thing as do most coils I've cone across.
Oh no, hope everything is ok.

All is fine, I just have to complete the kitchen remodeling before my better half uses the big cast iron frying pan for something other than cooking
I'm going back to MTL part time because I'm sub ohm too MUCH and I'm drying out I need to consume less juice-
Sooooo I may grab something not sure what????
I'm a crown- cleito girl and dripbox lol

For a clearomizer checkout the Innokin T18.
For a RTA the Kayfun mini V3 (clones are dirt cheap at Fasttech).
The new nautilus X had less flavor for me. I do think the trition 2 mini coils (clapton1.8) work well in the old nautilus. The other triton 2 mini coils work as well. (I haven't tried the others though). I buy authentic at Sweet-vapes but other vendors may have the coils.
I'm waiting for the Nautilus X to come out with new coils.
Have they mentioned doing this? That would be fantastic!
No not a word. I'm just hoping they do.Really, they have only one option right now for coils. 1.5 ohms.They need more options.

They will either bring new coils or a new tank with a different coil.
Is there a rta tank truly designed for MTL.....no, Sharky, not the goblin mini, no, Toolman, not the squape, hurricane or the new kayfuns.
I'm talking about something the size of the Merlin or Bachelor nano, or the TFV4 micro, with the draw of the latest kayfuns but not their price and height. Something you don't have to choke the afc and end up with ultra hot vapes. My search continues. ...

Hi Huck, been there, done that....got the Rose too. I found them cumbersome and way too big. I don't need a gallon of juice in my tank, 2 to 4 ml is fine for a MTL tank. The kayfuns are fine MTL tanks but authentics cost an arm and a couple of toes and the clones are hit and miss. Not only that, but if you're using a smallish mod, it's like you're putting a church steeple on your mod.

Typically they are around 40$ for an authentic. Vaporshark used to sell them, vapinart, Intaste, cremedevape and vonerl
That Is there worst grammar I have ever posted. I'm to tired to fix it, lol

That aqua is the sexiest RTA I've ever come across
Never mind my crooked drip tip, according to popular opinion, it suits me, though.

Ok, so what do y'all know about aqua se?
Erl mini, below, exceptional vape for MTL, for sure (hard to find a clone). Look for VonErl to keep releasing good stuff though.
http://shop.vonerl.com/en/crown-series/erlkoenigin/
Also to note you can get a nano bell cap for the Hurricane also (I don't have one but they are available for authentic.. no clones).
http://vapershobbyshop.com/mini-hurricap/
Also please see the Calix V2 which is 2.5" in height (Merlin is 2.2"). Clones avail on FT. Put a short drip tip on there and good to go.
Erl mini
+1 for Hurricane. Get this clone at FT for a really well built inexpensive version:

Thank you @ToolmanTexas , but my point was that you can not find a reasonably priced tank of that caliber. If 130 euros is reasonable to you, then you have my respect. That price is much too rich for my blood for me to try out a tank. The Calix v2 looks like the RTA version of the Kabuki at double the price.
The Erl mini had clones for quite some time and they can be found thru the classies. I recently picked that one up from Dre and picked up another from a member on another forum. I now have 2 for a trade of one of my SXK Squape clones and $20
I don't own the authentics of the Erlkonigin.
I'm not sure what you mean by a version of the Kabuki. It is basically the same height of the Merlin and $10 cheaper than the Merlin.

Let's see if we can get together a group buy for the Calix v2 clone from Coppervape.
BB, you may have missed this part of my previous post:
"please see the Calix V2 which is 2.5" in height (Merlin is 2.2"). Clones avail on FT"
They are $20 on FT.

@ToolmanTexas are we talking Calix or Calix v2? the Calix has a bit of a seepage problem due to the bottom air flow, the Calix v2 is redesigned with a side air flow very much like the Kabuki and early Kayfuns I think.
V2 for sure, like the authentic in Qorax's vid.

Wright you are, I only saw the Calix v1. Thanks.
Here is Phil's review of authentic (including nano):
I have them, and REALLY like mine
You already know how I feel about that one, @Whiskey just got her hands on a Hurricane and I know there are big fans in this thread.
Yep, just trying it now on my roller
That just brought a tear to the ol' Toolman's eye ;_;

I have to agree with the Hurricane, it really is a very good tank. I guess I just reached the point where I just want to get a couple of really good tanks without needing to get a second mortgage on the house.
I have never bought a new authentic RTA. The only authentic I have is a Squape R(s) and bought that in classies for < $100.
Other than that it has always been clones. I'm conservative with my $
After my backwards journey I have settled on these RTAs that work for me:
- Hurricane
- Squape R(s)
- Erl mini
- KFV3 mini (and the plus clone)
I have had Kayfuns (still do have several but draw is VERY tight), Taifuns, Rose V2s, Orchid, Ubertoot, Gob mini V1, Bellus, Gem and Pico (didn't work for me, but still investigating the eGo coil in there
). I'm still working thru the Gem and Pico but not looking good at this point.Several of those RTAs others swear by and absolutely love but just didn't work for me for whatever reason (there are so many variables to this stuff you just have to try them yourself).
I have tried many sub ohm tanks/RTAs also and have only kept the Kayfun Monster V2 and V3 for when I feel the urge, which is not often. I'm just not a big sub ohm fan for many reasons.
The only outstanding things on my current list to try from a MTL standpoint are the Calix V2 and the T18 for clearomizer. I'm on a buying freeze for a few weeks but those will be next.

Hahaha
Love the aqua v2, hurricane, erl and the kf5 equally all are in rotation here; and, I would be hard pressed to give one up.
I have tried the expromizer, at the shop; but, I don't have one. It's a great flavor tank but it's a cooler vape. It's on my wish list-lol

I did forget that on my long list I have the KF5 once a clone is produced that includes (or can buy seperate) the M2L kit offered by Svoemesto.
Looks nice! Authentic or clone? Linky? I found a few on ebay already U.S. Looks like I might buy one with the kafun 5 or v3 plus clone.
Yep, just trying it now on my roller

I'm loving the tank without the mtl kit. But I also use a kfl and kf4, the stock kf5 mtl draw is looser than the kfl but I find it more comfortable.
Both mod & tank authentic
If you were comparing airflow on the KFV5 at its lowest setting with the Hurricane, which hole on Hurri would you say is comparable?
I'm not a super tight fan like the KFL+, more air is good for me but I do like to be able to close it down somewhat if desired (like Hurri and Squape allow me to do on the fly).

It's closest to the hurricane on its third to lowest setting
Second lowest with two holes.
I've still had nothing but problems with the squape, lol. I've bought every version and sold them a week to a month later. Lmao
They vape great once you get them by built right, but it so picky on wicking that I gave up
