Ares overnight test. No leaking whatsoever...

Or you could just a use a long enough coarse thread screw or the right diameter.
You could but the diameter of a screw is not perfect... it tapers if I'm not mistaken?
Ya but that is not comfortable to hold.
Used to use a fine machine screw a million years ago for making spaced coils for the EvodYa but that is not comfortable to hold.
@Rob Fisher , thanks again for all your posts on this
Just some questions if I may
Are you vaping XXX in there? Just checking.
On the draw tightness, you say its too tight for a decent lung hit when wide open. Thats understandable.
But when you close up the airflow how tight is it?
On the smallest hole how does it compare tightness wise say to the Twisp Cue?
Im trying to see why Todd is not happy with the tightness

Good questions here! It’s so hard to tell coz the smallest airflow on berserker is ridiculous and Todd uses that I use the 3rd airflow which a lot of my mates said is still far too tight so who knows
Ok fine I'll test one as soon as it becomes available locally lol
I missed the beserker @Scouse45
I hear you
The funny thing about draw tightness is that for me its very important. If its a tad too loose i dont enjoy it nearly as much. Of course if its too tight its also not good.
the thing is that with the small airholes and tight MTL i have found i need to build a far tamer coil and use less power
Yes XXX is in the Ares Hi Ho @Silver.
The tightness... on the smallest hole it's not as tight as the Cue... but I can't do it more than once or twice because it makes me cough... not sure why... I guess MTL just doesn't work for me anymore...
The problem I feel is not totally about the airflow options at the bottom. I find it relates a lot to those airflow holes underneath the coil. So berserker has small airflow and under the coil is only one small hole. Great flavor. And the airflow stays restricted coz of that. The siren has many airflow holes BUT 3 quite large airflow holes under the coil. If this makes sense. So it will always b more open. Now the area has a collection of airflow holes under the coil once again meaning it will always b more open then say the berserker. And may perhaps cause slightly less Flavour. Tricky one
Ah, thanks @Rob Fisher
So thats what Todd is probably talking about. Its not tight enough for that tight MTL experience.
Makes sense
As for the coughing, the tighter draw does concentrate the vapour and often improves the immediate throat hit. Also I suspect your 0.48 coil you are firing at about 20-25 watts so that could also be a too vigorous setup for tight MTL with limited airflow
@Silver I hav the siren 2 and berserker. I’ll pick up the Ares and try do a review on all 3 against each other for everyone
A bolt instead of a screw then.
I have been following threads on the Ares and some people have reported leaking... mine hasn't leaked one bit... zippo... it's been standing upright since I built it and it has been perfect... OK so I left it sideways for 9 hours to see if I could get it to leak... nope not a sausage!
