Thanks brother! Yeah, I have to admit that using this tank was a chore for me and I have other top airflow tanks I like better. It is not bad by any means but those quirks just get under my skin so it will probably get retired when I need to rebuild.
@Letitia KP did a bang up job on his review, that dude is really good. I like the Serpent but don’t love it but we all have preferences so no one is wrong. How do you like it compared to your Nano? Thank you doll 
Flavor is a touch better but not as good as the jk mini. Nanos are naturally less fiddly for me. Kinda like the Intake, falls in the middle, like the elevate better though. Except for the media blast, not a fan.
Hmmmm, got almost all of the QP tanks except the JK Mini, now you have sparked my curiosity…thanks enabler 
Nailed this one @mjag. Love, love, love how you deep dive with the multiple coils. Outstanding review and insights brother.
Thank you brother!
Sometimes you get it on the first build, that oh yeah moment but I always like to keep trying to find what bests works for me. This one took a little longer, wasn’t playing nice with my usual single coil builds.
Did you wind up getting the JK Mini as well?
Thank you for the review, I know it’s a bit older but still relevant for people researching products lol
I’m using the intake, absolutely love it but the last couple of days, it starts to leak from the bottom.
Since its only press fit, I tried pushing it back in with a vice and it works for a bit, but then starts over. It’s not just a couple drops, it’s more like dumping half the tank and I don’t want to ruin my dna, since it comes directly out of the 510.
Tried fixing it, but yeah, Anyways I was looking at your review. Not many out there about this rt a from people I trust or know they wouldn’t hype it up because they are friends with xyz lol
I never had an issue with wicking or building on my intake, not kylin mini, even so it’s a damn pain. So I was wondering about that.
I noticed you comparing it with the intake, my question is, if you say it’s air’ier than the intake and zeus, would it compare to the kylin mini? I’m looking more for restriction, just like the intake but I wouldn’t mind a tiny bit more air, I just can’t vape extreme open airflow anymore like the kylin does have unfortunately, I get better flavor out of my intake lol.
If anyone could tell me if the elevate is somewhat similar, or not, or if I should look at something else? I’d appreciate it very much, no worries I don’t need a 3 page 12000 words comparison, a short it’s better/worse than…or they the bottom is also press fit…I recommend rt a xyz etc would be enough.
Thank you again for the review @mjag and who ever else can give me some more insight. Maybe @Letitia?
Edit, was considering the zesthia, but not sure if I want to mess with bottom airflow again. Really started to love that weird top airflow the intake has!
I just got a gear rta (about 2 weeks now) and can confirm about the flavor it produces. And I could use it at lower wattage to get the same warm vape I got from other rtas.
Bottom airflow though, so…
Edit : I always have problem with wicking when I recoil anything, hence why I dont plan on getting elevate, but as long as you keep the wicking thick and tight, this rta (gear) wont leak. Easy to coil, easy to wick.
Edit 2 : still keeping an eye for zesthia with no result
@eStorm sorry to hear about your leak and good luck with your search. @delltrapp I keep hear good things about the Gear. Almost enough to get one but I’m really not a tank person. I have one that goes in and out of rotation but the Gear keeps popping up everywhere.
I’ll take a closer look at it. I’ve heard about it, but just on YouTube somewhere, that’s why I placed it under the “yep another overhyped product, not gonna fall for it this time” category lol.
Appreciate the input.
@TheTinMan thank you 
I know it sucks, but that’s my luck. Every time I find something I really like, it’s either out of stock, discontinued, leaks or has some kind of quality issue. Maybe I should just buy flavors but without hardware this would be kinda pointless
I like the vape better from the Elevate than the intake but dislike the media blast finish. It vapes very well, bit airier than the intake but not by much. Once you nail the wick it’s gold. 3-3.5mm coil suited me the best. Personally I prefer the qp Juggerknot mini better than either of the above. Just got in the clone from ft, I’ll let you know if it’s as good as the authentic in a week.
Wide open the Kylin Mini is more airy, depending on the build the Elevate is only slightly airier than the Intake. I do have a 3.5mm coil in the Elevate compared to the 3mm in the Intake so that helps to reduce the airflow a little with the Elevate.
Sorry to hear about your Intake, I still have 2 with one in use at the moment so will keep that press fit deck in mind and not use it on my expensive mods.
I have never had leaking problems with my Zesthia and I think Vaporrange.com still has them for like $15 shipped.
I do wonder if my Elevate may had had some pre production problems as I received a sample for review. I have never had a tank that was so finicky with wicking so it might have just been my sample. I did read a few reviews as well after and some other reviewers had the same problem but not all, some also received the bubble glass versions, mine was the plastic bubble.
This is the first time I touched the Elevate since my review…guess you could say I wasn’t a fan…lol
Still need to get me one of those but I am trying to cut back a little to enjoy what I already have…enabler 
Also heard good things about the Gear RTA that @delltrapp mentioned, just gonna wait until it is in the bargain bin section and pick one up.
Sweet thank you for the info and link, and thanks letitia.
I’ll order the elevate first and see next week about the zesthia. Was afraid that I would have to use my rda’s all week, even tho they are great, I hate having to squonk or drip at work! Also I’m not a rda person 
Again thank you, guys
I’ve run across the term ‘damming’ a few times in this thread. In my near 5 years of vaping I have never heard of this. What is this wicking witchery you speak of?
Never had a Griffin RTA with that stupid wick ring?
Instead of stuffing the wick down into the coils you lay the wick over top of the wick ports and just lightly tuck the middle or edges of the wick. Dam it…dammit…dam, dam dam, damn? Worked well with the Griffins, OBS Engine and Crius.
It is when you finished wicking and you say DAMNIT, why wont it wick…lol.
Damming is when the wicks just damn up the wicking slots and does not go down further than that. Just barely enough to damn up the juice, makes it faster to wick.
Edit: damming didn’t work with the Elevate tank though, had to extend the wicks down a little further if not then got a spitty mouthful of juice, was like drinking instead of vaping
Dammit, you’re gonna make me fight with the missus… 
I dont really trust most youtube reviewer either, but I do trust some of them, like daniel (DJLsb), Vaping Bogan and our own @Dan_the_Man and they gave this RTA high praise. Well, more pros than cons, at least.
