Hehe, @Lynda_Marie, I hear you. I mean look, I didn’t mean to cast it in a negative light. I do however, always try and accurately convey everything, good, bad, etc., to everyone, and in a fair manner, so THEY (or you), can decide for themselves. Far too many reviewers don’t seem to do that.

You’re very welcome and thank you.

LOL @big_vape, that may have had SOME bearing on things, hehe.

Yeah, I’m starting to wonder if I went to HARD on “them” for that. I tried to be fair, and if they had just mentioned a few things in the instructions, I wouldn’t have hammered that point a bit. You are right though, tight fitting rings are the best.

Roger that.

Thank you very much, I appreciate it.

Absolutely, we all appreciate it. AND, since you review a lot of the tanks I use (ahem…all my Osiris’s :sweat_smile:), steam craves etc, you are always spot on, in my opinion. I didn’t think of it as a negative, Just something that I’d get irritated about.

Nope, they don’t…not at all.

I completely agree with the 0.8 for MTL. I started with the 3.0 when I first got it running my coffee flavor and it was really nice, then I switched it over to the 2.5 as I wanted just a little more restriction. I really love the 2.5 for very restricted RDL. Currently I’m using the 0.8 MtL for use with my 50/50 Capt. McDuckies Black Cherry Pipe and it definitely shines as a MTL while running a tobacco. I’ve been running MTL with a single wire 2.5id nickel coil at around 1.0ohm.

Thank you @SessionDrummer An honest and thorough review with great photos as always. I’m wondering if the MQ is leaning towards that Danibox look?

Thanks for the review @SessionDrummer ! It looks really neat but I think I will pass on this one. It’s a cool concept but I believe it would drive me crazy heheh.

@McDuckie did you have any of the issues I did, getting it apart ?? Getting the juiceflow to cooperate ??

Yup it’s definitely one of those kind of tanks. It’s geared towards those people who really like to dial in their vapes. It’s good as a RDL but it’s great in MTL. That’s where it really shines. And with the MQ having a YIHI board it’s amazing for running MTL with Temp control.

Yes it is a pain when taking it apart. I simply drop the o-rings in some VG before reinstalling them it slides back together just fine. The juice control was the biggest issue for me. Going from a 75/25 juice in RDL to a 50/50 in MTL I got a bit of spit back due to over saturation of the cotton. Though once I figured it out and got it dialed in it’s good.

Yeah @Lynda_Marie the SC Classic MTL was very good, AND, you could hot swap the pins …

The Glaz mini is the one I have.

I was just going to say I have the Glaz Mini and thought that’s what you meant. It’s one of my tanks with juice in it from a year ago that still needs to be cleaned. I said it in public and embarrassed, lol. It’s a great tank for straight up MTLers. I found it tighter than my Kayfun and modified the AF ring to get more air out of it. I also didn’t appreciate the 2ml capacity when I get 5ml from the KF. Still, a perfect tank for true MTLers who might like high nic and vape like they smoke cigarettes. SC did it right for what it is.

I was thinking about my thumbs when you reviewed this. I have arthritis in my thumb joints and struggle with fiddly tanks. I have to take certain things into consideration when using gear, unfortunately.

@muth, well the good news is, if you ever DID pick one up, you won’t have the issues I did.

Ummm, one of my gear RTA’s I found with juice in it from probably longer than that. Could not get the deck out or top cap so I soaked in warm water to warm the juice to loosen the deck, which worked and then the ultrasonic a few times. Worked it over with a soft toothbrush. I’m wondering if I still have the box to change out the orings…

I hate it when that happens. I mean, I make a POINT, of clearing, and cleaning everything when I’m DONE done, but dammit, hehe, somehow I always manage to miss a few, only to find them WAY later on, and in the same state.

Yeah, I didn’t want to mention it but I also found a Uwell Crown with juice in it. Lol, not from the time the first one came to market but when I pulled it out to build the RBA. The liquid is so old I can’t even identify it. Thx for sharing @SessionDrummer :rofl:
