Not really much of a review, but here goes.Received this rta today Whipped the coil out and built a nickel one, 0.21 ohms, not as difficult as I thought it would be, just different to anything else I've got. Flavour is spot on, very good airflow control, so you can you can use it for either mtl or direct lung, ( I wouldn't recommend 20mg nic juice for direct lung as you get a very big nic hit, as I discovered lol ) Only been using a short time, but I would say that this rta is a good all rounder, very well made, plenty of spare bits and bobs, its not cheap, but in my honest opinion its well worth the outlay Cheers Glen

For me this attie was one of the stars of 2015, Superb flavour and a great design. And you can get a thick guage NI200 wire in there with excellent results. Love the vertical coil design.

Great Quick review glenHaven't got anything but Kanthal at the mo to play with - but the FX is swiftly becoming my tank to beat/do i need anything else or just another - tank As i've said elsewhere, the 3 or 5ml option, with a second complete head easy as replacing a stock head to switch coils - or for switching between W's to TC - even within TC - get a separate head for W's, Ni, Ti and SS and all bases are covered by just dropping the head in - rebuild at your leisure LoL Add in the flavour and ease of build - i find wrapping the wick much more preferable to the threading and fluffing method - and i'm back to enjoying rebuilding again

Aloha pancserThe clone is pretty good - and came with a spare SS tank - via taobao.com though not FT. The vape is almost as good and virtually leak free. The Authentic for me has a better quality of vape - i think the tolerance are that much tighter -so that it's a more 'airtight' fit, meaning that you only get airflow from the intended means not incidental 'leakage'. Aside from that the availability of the complete heads for swift swapping and ease of building is the real winner - if that appeals to thee? If not the Clone will probably do. As mentioned elsewhere - @eatmybb 's review for one, the threads are different between the authentic head and the clone (so only clone heads will fit the clone and vice versa) but the tanks are interchangeable. Can't answer on the AF compared to the Nautilus but it's fine for me as either a Mouth or Lung hit depending on me preference Oh the AF control on the Authentic is slightly stiffer - not a problem as tis less likely to slide as i pull it in and out of me pocket - but worth noting.

were thee using the supplied wick or cutting your own strips glen? So far i've used both and found my own harder to get right (cleaning off all the fluff to get the thin inner one was tricky) - but not had a leakage issue yet?

I was using the pre supplied, but I think I squashed the rubber gromit round the 510 when I pushed it back in, touch wood 24hrs and it's dry as a bone lol

the only real i've had is forgetting to open up the airflow after top filling - Doh! But that's 'user error' and applied to all cotton tanks As long as you do you'll be going best part of a week between wick changes - then just drop another head on and rebuild at your leisure (daylight builds are soo much easier) LoL
