Love my two, they are my absolute favourite, best video I have seen on setting them up:



I prefer ribbon wire, but the build in the video is easy just use more turns of wire or thinner wire if you want a higher resistance.

Cheers for the video can't wait to give it a blast lol

I bought 3 clones (from Fasttech) and I've been using them for about 2 weeks. I agree with VapingBad - they are very easy to set up and work exceptionally well in all the combinations I've tried so far. Dual-wick (s/s mesh) and 'U' cotton wick with tiger coil are my favourites.

One major problem is that the 'O' rings are all a fraction too loose, leading to weeping of juice and easy separation of the tank from its seals when taking the sleeve off. I've tried substituting the rings for larger diameter ones, but they stop me getting the tank over them. A thin sliver of PTFE tape under the ring has helped, but it's hit & miss and a bit of a lash-up. I'll have to take an original 'O' ring to my local plumbers' merchants and see what they've got.

Despite these problems, I love the Kraken - well engineered and made, the air control is superb, the large deck makes building a two coil system dead easy, wicking with cotton wool is a piece of p*ss with the tank off and the engraving is very elegant. I think that once I sort out the 'O' ring issue they will be my favourites (so far!) by a long chalk.

Whether I'll ever trust them enough to take them in my pocket remains to be seen, but they are *great* at home.

I have had similar experience with the o'rings as willy9b, I always put a loose one on the bottom where there is not one and my fav is the very top a bit lose so I can take only the very top section off to top up with juice, this catches any overfill.

I got no problems with o rings as we use them at work so I got tons of sizes to choose from and thicknesses

Gonna try 1.3 ohm coil with the u cotton setup for a starter
