Sorry for the confusion, I thought I edited in time rolf. It was a reply to a different post.
That's exactly what I was thinking rolf! Air through the center of the coil, wicking birds nested.

Hey, experiment all you want 
I think it's a deck that will allow some interesting builds.

I haven't experienced any. If you do, try pushing a bit more wick into the cups. And remember it has juice control so you can close it some if needed.
I've had them laying down with the jc wide open, and no issues.
And it takes half a second to close or open the jc to be completely safe for pocket/purse/travel.
thanks nice to know. ..on others i have my juice controll just about closed to work with 50 50 pg vg .
allways stand my n up anywhow . exept slanted in my shirt pocket..
most my problems i think are vacuum seals not to great.

If you were a sarcastic ass like me you would have said, "I designed it to leak like a sieve no matter how you wick it! A well oiled mod is a happy mod!"
I tease but I get what Rolf was saying... How finicky is the wicking? It looks pretty fool proof to me but I've always been a lucky wicker...
a little sacasm dont hurt anybody !
comparing attys side by side now boreas with single coil and insert and absolutely no leaking !
the batchelor is hit and miss... fill it and its fine ...then one third juice left and wet feet syndrom again !
i have a suspicion the merlin will be much better in many other aspects also .
so far it looks like roxy outdone herselv but dont tell her...she might get a complex. lol
@roxynoodle, I have a design question about Merlin. I know you're a fan of Aromamizer style deck design, me too. Did you try to implement that on Merlin and find the bottom/center air made it impossible?
Also, could anybody post a link to the other Merlin thread?

No, this deck was the only one considered, but we made some minor changes to the original.
There isn't another thread here anymore. All posts have been moved to this one. I haven't looked at the ecf thread, and won't.
Funny you should say that. I haven't made it over there yet, either.

Big thanks though to MMW and Ian for the info being put up there, and to members there being supportive 
I just can't go back because the anger will get to me.

Like the Notch Coil? I wasnt impressed with them but many are...I think its because all they've used were basic coils...

Hi roxy i was away from vaping forums for awhile so i missed everything that happened between you and ecf, well stay strong and everything will be fine. So since you own a hell of a lot mtl attys can you make a comparison for me in which atty is the draw of the merlin rta closer to? I have klpv2 aqua se and v2 , gem v1 and II , calix ,tilemahos , hurricane and currently waiting for a phenomenon clone.

The Notch coil is 0.25 ohm. It is stainless steel. They ramp up instantly. I have found they are best suited for use in tc because of that.

It will take me a little time to make comparisons. Some of those RTAs I don't have anymore so my recollection of their airflow may no longer be accurate. I do remember the Phenomenon Lite being very tight. Merlin can get pretty close to that. Well, if I'm remembering it right.
I've never had the Gems. I have a Hurricane and Aqua v2 still so I will get both of them out to compare for you. My Calix and Tilemahos have been gone for awhile.
thanks roxy ..have to break down and try temp control ..one of these days

For the Notch coil, definitely use tc, or a mod that can step down. 4.2v is too much in wattage mode and will cause burnt hits.

I was never impressed with nickel or titanium but TC with SS316... I'm enjoying that very much and my seven joyetech/wismec/istick devices capable of SS TC do it well.IMHO, it is the best way to vape.

I think very good.
Thanks
Maybe should have asked before buying but I always like surprises
Thats why my vape drawer is full of useless tanks lol
Great job Roxy and congrats on the second tank! I've been thinking about getting another single coil tank, this looks like it may be it!

really like the looks of this one Roxy & am on the waiting list
Still rocking the Boreas actually I have not even used anything else.
This may be a stupid question but as you know I am new to building what is the correct way to wick the stacked coils?

I like the logo on the chimney! Too bad it's not a picture of your Merlin!
Is this one going to say "designed by Augvape and Roxy" on the bottom like the Boreas?
Got a Black one ordered from Subtank Supply. Looking forward to it. They can keep the notched coil. I don't like TC and tried the notched recently with a suck my mod tank...that describes it perfectly....The tank is okay, the coil used on wattage mode is not ideal for me. I prefer Claptons or other twisted coils. But I am also not a fan of SS so that is my problem, not the coils fault. The do ramp up in a flash. Definitely designed for TC vaping IMHO.
Better hope you don't get a bad one if using them. IMHO their CS leaves a lot to be desired!
Cheers,
Steve
Edit it I'm in no way saying I think it's going to be a bad tank or that I think Augvape makes bad tanks or has bad CS. I've recently had a problem with Eciggity's CS

PS I edited the above post to make what I was saying clearer

Did my pics in the first post help? I run the wick tails in opposite directions. For example, maybe the bottom coil's wick tail goes into the left wick cup. And the right tail I cut short. Then the top coil's wick tail goes in the right wick cup with it's left tail cut short.
I'm not sure.

I have ordered a ton from eciggity, but have never needed CS.
Yes sorry I saw that after I posted
Please excuse the off topic but today is a horrible day.
A few hours ago the FDA released the Final rule with an effective date of around 8/8/16. It's NOT pretty!
Mike covers some of the high points and boy is he fast!
FDA intro page
Carry on!

We need a dislike button :-(
Agreed, so please interpret my like as a dislike.
It's a sad day for us vapers. BT, BP, and BG are happy and that's all that matters (extreme sarcasm). Do regular people even matter anymore? I'm just very disgusted at the moment.
Cheers,

Did anyone expect anything else from the FDA regulations? No, we knew it was going to be this way. But! It's a long way from over. Vaping is here to stay they can't stop it at the point. Yes they can try but the people will find a way around anything they put out.The DC is going to be flooded with petitions and letters and calls. I also expect legal challenges to be filed. The FDA has made other regulations that were overturned in court. Think about it. Are they going to put all the shops in the country out of business all at the same time? What happens to all the inventory and the people out of work? This was put out to see the kind of kick back they'll get and it's going to be LOUD! They are not just messing with people that have switched to vaping. They are messing with the family and friends of these people. Bad move FDA very bad move.
