Well, for me it does. I'm not knocking the Boreas I have 2 of them as well. I just feel that the Boreas even with with the air flow on 2 or 3 has a much more airy vape than the Merlin which for me kind of dilutes the flavor. The Merlin while not as airy gives me a thicker more flavorful vape.I honestly can't believe your merlin gives a better flavor than the boreas. My boreas overloads with both flavor and vapor. And i know my merlin is built and wicked proper, 0 leaking and vapes nice . But the bachelor has a much better flavor than it does imo
Place your coils at the same level of the post for maximum flavor in the boreas , or a vertical build .Well, for me it does. I'm not knocking the Boreas I have 2 of them as well.

brought it to work & I machined out the the airflow under the coil. I do not recommend doing it unless you know what you are doingAnd how pray tell did you do this??????
I have some INW Raspberry that would finish cleaning off that film for ya. Seriously tho. That's not good.The smoke tint on the glass does indeed flake off if soaked over night in isopropyl alcohol

you can't go to deep or take out to much or your deck will be trash. Not sure I should go into detail
I had silver hair for a while. Just went back to blonde.Oh Sallys has EVERYTHING hair related you can imagine. I once needed Silver hair spray (long story) and it was no where near Halloween. Guess where I found it?
You're sharp as ever Lucy! ^.~IN more ways than one I gather from some of your older posts
I feel it doubled the airflow mine was like my Boreas with all but one air hole closed now it is comparable to the Boreas with only one closedHowd that work out? Did it open up the airflow really well? I gave thought to doing it myself, but I dont have access to a press or anything other than a regular old drill.
First Build was twisted 26 kanthal at .25 was ok
Second build is a 26/32 clapton at .76 at 46w. Cant chain vape on it as the tip is getting to hot. Anyone have a suggested clapton coil build for this? I am usually MTL. I didnt feel this worked for me as a MTL tank even with the insert in. Id rather use it DL with it out but now just having a heat issue with the build.
I did not have any leaking at all on both builds
let me know how that goesMy next build I hoping to go to 1.00 Ohms or above as I think because of how this atty retains the heat then it might benefit from a slightly higher ohm coil.

How are you making the SS Clapton? What is the wrap wire made with? SS or Kanthal?Have you tried using a stainless steel Clapton in TC mode? I've been using a 316L fused Clapton for a week and it really helps with heat while chain vaping.
Shouldnt that be a 6 wrap?

I haven't bothered to make Clapton wire since switching over to stainless steel. I'm using premade 2x28/30g SS Clapton wire from Advanced Vape Supply right now. I also just got in some mixed wire 26ss/36k Clapton wire from Lightening Vapes (SS core wrapped in kanthal) a few minutes ago that I'll be trying out later. I really like the AVS wire, but if you want to make 100% 316L Clapton coils yourself, you can find a vast selection of sizes at kbeevapes.How are you making the SS Clapton?

Very cool, look at all of them lined up thereWell I like to say a very big thank you to Augvape.
I contacted them via Alibaba and ordered 5 Merlins from them which was the minimum you could order, but with delivery to the UK it worked out for me at $20.40 dollars each, but what took me by total surprise was that they were delivered from China in just 5 DAYS !! Just unbelievable service from Augvape.
It's been a pleasure dealing with them

I've now got a couple soaking away before I start my venture with these beauties
So thanks again Augvape and of course our missing in action Roxy for crafting these amazing atty's
And hurry back girl. we miss you !!!!!
Cough*&%%### Sputter%^^%#@@!! CoughNever in my life did I expect to see someone exceed my own abilities of being an asshole on this forum, well done Jai, you useless fucking clown.
I finally got a Merlin, and I ordered three all at once because I knew Roxy did a good job on the Boreas so the Merlin would be good. I still dislike the fact it's single coil only, but other than that it's got everything done just about perfectly. It blows the Serpent out of the water in terms of flavor and it's MUCH easier to build on as well. The Serpent had a weird mechanism for JFC and it was a pain to build on, the Merlin has neither of those issues and on top of that gives much better flavor.
The only thing I DON'T like about the Merlin is the stock drip tip, but that isn't much of an issue. I had it up to 130W this morning and it kept up like a champion.
They have to be high, at the top of the posts and level.....equal to each other..... And away from the post closer to the inside of the chimney which will put them close to the air flow.....Place your coils at the same level of the post for maximum flavor in the boreas , or a vertical build .
Also a clapton or a fused clapton will make it even better , my Boreas gives me a much better flavorful vape than the Merlin
A reminder that you can in fact have 2 coils in this tank (hence the 4 post holes!). Although I love it as a single coil, and the stock drip tip is the only stock drip tip I've ever liked on any tankSpecs:
* 22.8mm diameter
* 4ml Capacity
* Single and dual coil capable
* 2mm post holes
* 3mm juice feed holes
* Top filling through two large fill slots
* Juice flow control
* Dual adjustable airflow control
* 3.5mm under coil airhole (2.5mm with stainless steel insert)
* 510 drip tip compatible
* 47.85mm tall without drip tip
Notch coil included
Single Coil Build
Cut your wick tails long enough to just tuck into the tops of the wick cups
Build tutorial for dual coil build
Run wick through bottom coil and cut short on one end. The other end needs to be long enough to tuck into the top of the wick cup.
Run the wick for your top coil so that the long wick tail is opposite your bottom coil. It will need to be a little longer to reach your wick cup.
We will be moving all your posts to this thread
Also, was just informed that half the first run will be black! So initial run will be available in stainless or black!
The preorder will be going up at Subtank Supply. I will post a link once it's up.

With a 0.76 ohm build, I would not vape at that wattage with the AFC restrictor insert. Just take that out and keep the AFC at about half open or so. You need air to cool that coil down. I'm using a 0.57 clapton, removed the air screw under the coil, AFC at half open. Running at 28 -30 watts, nothing is getting hot. A nice warm vape. Coil is about 1.5-2mm above the deck hole.Second build is a 26/32 clapton at .76 at 46w. Cant chain vape on it as the tip is getting to hot. Anyone have a suggested clapton coil build for this?

My insert is out afc is all the way open. Still getting hot just a bit at 40w. What can I change?With a 0.76 ohm build, I would not vape at that wattage with the AFC restrictor insert.

What kind of coil do you have on there?Do you happen to have a "hot spot" in your coil? Probably not since you seem to know better, but it's something to check.
I just turned my 0.57 ohm up to 40 watts and it is too warm for me. I like the 26-30 watt range. Plenty of flavor, plenty of vapor for a single coil. For me that is.
That's certainly one aspect, but I'd question how long he's holding the button down? How often? I'm not a big fan of the 32g wrap claptons, I find their ramp-up very troublesome. With that ramp up you can be holding the button down for a second or two before you even get vapor production. While it's not heating the coil enough to produce vapor you're running current through it for quite some time and that'll lead to a hot atomizer pretty easily.With a 0.76 ohm build, I would not vape at that wattage with the AFC restrictor insert.
