Best erlkonigan clone?

[Kcoc]

What manufacturer makes the best erlkonigan clone? I am trying to decide on a new tank and this one seems to be nice. I have it narrowed down to the Erlkonigan clone or a kayfun v4 clone. I am also open to any more suggestions. The tanks I already own are:

Kayfun lite v2
Taifun gt
Kayfun nano
Orchid v4 - not a huge fan.
Kanger subtank.

"Best" is rather relative.

I bought the cheapest one they had at FT (the "value" version) and perhaps I got lucky, but it's been great.
No leaks, holds a ton of juice, easy filling from the top, no worries.





I do kinda wish I'd gotten the one with the DT adapter though. Not a biggie.

As long as the QC and machining of the atty is adequate, it's up to the person to build and wick it right in order to have a quality vape. IMHO.

If ya need some help with your Orchid, we have a nice thread for modding it that can really be beneficial: http://vapingunderground.com/threads/orchid-modification-thread.20819/unread

I'm happy with my Cigreen I got via a GB.

I don't know who makes if for them but I purchased the Erlkonigen from Angelcigs a week ago. As others stated super light, nice build quality. Just washed it up in soapy water threw a build on it 1.4ohm coil and used organic cotton. The flavor on this is intense, for me anyway. A rich warm flavor even on mild flavor/tasting ejuice. Top fill works well, only thing is it is a proprietary drip tip that screws down to keep the top fill cap from moving from open/close. Some in reviews had trouble wicking, haven't experienced that. I don't run it down the sides as some do, just lay a thick roll of wick through the coil and juice them up before closing it up to fill and no problem. For the price it seems like a steal. Pmma tank wish I could get a glass or Pyrex to replace it. The flavor on this does it for me. I have three Kayfun lite clones and a EHpro Kayfun lite+ V2 dual air flow control. The best flavor comes from the new Erl.

What's the airflow like on these Erl clones? I have an Ehpro Billow that draws like a restricted RDA... For an example, I have a Mephisto RDA, and the Billow draws like having one air slot wide open and the other closed, like you would do on a single coil build. The Orchid V4 is considerably more restricted.

Mine are on the tighter side. Lke a airy kayfun.

Ooops..how'd I forget that one?

Yup, that is how I do mine too, works a treat as they say.

Except, I'm running 1.1 ohms using some bigazz coils.

A great atty...great to mod too with KF parts.
Here is mine with a full-sized PMMA KF tank...holds a ton and fills using syringe or dropper bottle in the port. No leaks.

As another stated, like an airy Kayfun lite. There is an air flow control ring on the underside that adjusts it. I take the threaded ring out completely and it gets a little more, it doesn't leak so you can just leave the ring out. I like it wide open. Another thing the Erl holds close to 4/5 mls of juice I could be off a bit but vaping it never seems to end...lol. And even with it full it is so light that you don't even know you have an atty on your mod.

I have the gift box version from FT and it moves considerably more air than any of my kayfun's do.

Yup, I got the same version, it's more flavorful and airy compare to the kayfun... I can suggest aqua v2 from FT... I ordered aqua and a mini ELK for my up coming 30 watts eleaf... Im done with kayfuns!!

Don't feel bad. I had to go through my order history at FT to be sure myself. (Plus I'm lazy.)

I just tossed the mini kit in the last order. $2.52 (or something like that) for a tank and chimney, hard to beat. Looks a little more balanced on the Istick and still holds 3ml or so.
