Ive tried to stay away from this thread cause i know after reading it and watching the reviews i will want to need a serpent 25 to match my 22.
I would love a comparison of the 22 vs the 25.
Sometimes bigger isnt always better, i learnt that on the moonshot .

I think sir vape is his official seller http://www.sirvape.co.za/collections/tips-by-hands
Legends guys thanks @Jan and @incredible_hullk
@Clouds4Days in this case bigger is certainly better... I liked my Serpent Mini 22... I LOVE my Serpent Mini 25's (NB More than one!).
@Clouds4Days I missed this part... the 22 is a good solid tank that looks great on small mods and has good flavour. The 25 is a whole new ball of wax... it's looks great like the 22 (and even better in my opinion). The 22 is single coil only and the 25 has both decks. The 25 is easy to build on and has space for much bigger builds. And the flavour is just outstanding.
Hi, i need help please. Were can i find some replacement glass tubes for the serpent mini 25??
Minor Pit Stop (Clean and rewick) for the Serpent Mini 25's! Oh yes please!
These seem very popular Rob. Most of them are sold out though. It's funny, cool drip trips have never really appealed to me. I guess I am more into the mechanics of vaping than the aesthetic appeal.

In aesthetics's they are simply outstanding. And mechanics they really work for me because they are comfortable. Double win for me.

One more try @Rob Fisher. I just got a bunch of CottonBacon V2 early this morning that I started to try out for the first time while waiting for the sun to come up. The Serpent Mini 25 has been a RPITA leaker thru the bottom air slots same as the Serpent Mini 22 was. Mattered not how I wicked it with KGD, it leaked like a sieve if I put more than just a small amount of joose in the tank. After several tries I gave up on it, set it aside with the 22 that is out of service. So I'm revisiting it again this morning, rewicked the 25 with the CB V2 and will see how it goes. Tried something else different wicking it this time... took the build deck out of the base, took the knurled ring off that traps the wick ends, wicked with groomed wicks, reinstalled the ring then trimmed and fluffed the wicks and stuffed them in to make the ends of them a bit tighter in their well slots... and reinstalled the deck in the base. I bit of a PITA to do without the build deck not in the base. I filled the tank about 1/2 full, way more than enough for it to flood/leak before. So far it's not leaking even with the AFC wide open and chain vaping it. Flavor is not stellar, but that may be the dual 3.5mm 26N80 .36Ω build at the 40W I wanted to run it at on the Minikin V1.5 not being the build for this joose in this tank. Soon I'll fill the tank full, and if it makes it thru a couple of tanks without leaking I might put some Squidoode Framed Staple coils in it to up the ante.
Please persevere @Spydro... I have to say the Serpent Mini 25 have been an absolute revelation for me... I thought I was destined to use cCells for the rest of my life! And today I bought my 3rd SM25! And this time I built my own coil and wicked it... I did the single coil deck... 24g Nichrome 3mm 7 wraps 0.56Ω at 30 watts. I wicked it using @BigGuy's bow tie method and all three of my SM25's are operational and no leaking... the only one I had a small leak on was the dual coil because I hadn't wicked it right.
Also am thoroughly enjoying the 25. If there is one thing noticed having 2*22mm. The flavour is not as great as the smaller ones. Still great flavour but i do think those tiny ones are flavour gems. I have the same build running accross all 3 of my serpents(22s and 25).
However i have stopped using the smaller ones since the 25
.Over all the 25 is great tank. The little changes have made it. More airflow.. The ring around the wicks to hold down the wicks. This really helps with someone like me who opens a tank every 5minutes because i ocd if i start seeing a wick start browning. With the 22 the wicks would move when you open it.
That juice fill channel is just massive.
Excellent all rounder daily tank
Tell me about it on the cCells. I still have around 45 new coils I will probably never use since I don't use the 10 tanks I have that run them.
Only time will tell on the SM25 bro. I've almost emptied the first full tank, still no leaks yet. Even if it works out well enough to keep online, use on one of the Sig's, I doubt I 'd buy another one. To me nothing can replace the 6 Avo's that have been totally issue free and have given stellar flavor from the very first build in each of them. I devised my own wicking method on them that is very easy and works very well for me, and because I dedicate joose to atty's the builds last a very long time. So they are my go too's that would cover most of the 7 TC mods I still have on line. But I've lost one of my Pico's for everything else to the Indestructible RDA, so may get another Pico. Both of the Mage's are set aside now, me thinks the Pharaoh soon will be too. Now that the Petri RTA is not a certain possibility I'll mostly try to stop buying gear and get by with what I already have.
Can i trade mark the name and it should be purchased as a kit. The Serpent Minikin..... See what i did there?
Well, @Rob Fisher, five tanks thru the SM25 and still no leaks. Guess the CottonBacon or the different wicking method I used (or both) made a difference with the leaking. Also changed to another DIY joose that is doing better in the flavor department with the build I have in it. Still not stellar, but doing better than the other one did. I'll keep playing around with it for now, maybe try another build in it eventually (just got another roll of 24N80 that I was out of so might try a big dual build with it). But it's taking the place that a black Avo24 usually resides on... so at best if it does continue to be issue free AND does give better flavor it would be as a back up atty only.
See no need to do the same with the SM22 to try to stop it's leaking though as I don't see it being used on the Pico's, unseating any of the 3 Avo Genesis' they run.

Keep going @Spydro! You will get a stellar vape... do you still have some XXX? Try that in the SM25!
My trick to wick it cut the wick just long enough so it gets clamped, clamp it dry and then juice... Works well so far.
The XXX (all the SA joose that you so kindly sent to me) is used up. But down the road I'll be buying at least three of them from two of the vendors though if they'll ship to the US.
With the flavor in the SM25, I'm not overly disappointed in the vape considering the liquids tried with the build in the SM25 are new DIY concoctions that I am not 110% familiar with yet, so am still figuring out what build(s) they like in the different atty's I'm trying them in. This build is not the right build for either of them in the SM25. So as it stands right now with the two liquids I have tried in the SM25, the flavor is not up to what it is for them in the Avo's, or when dripped in two RDA's that I do have all of dialed in for both of them because from long experience I knew pretty close which builds in them would work well. With the first build I guessed wrong for these liquids in the SM25, my fault, and since it has not leaked with the new wick material/technique I'm not giving up on it, yet.
I try to keep it as simple as possible now days, and simpler is finding and sticking to gear that has proven itself and works very well for my vaping style. While I have bought far too much new gear since coming to the forum, especially mods and tanks, it pails in comparison to what you have acquired in the same time period. But you are the forums resident gear tester, and the forum benefits greatly from your doing it. I used to do the same on many interest specific forums. This forum is far more about this type of gear than my roots in mech's. But which new gear you prefer since I've been here has changed many times while mine has not. The new gear that worked for me with the most satisfaction from the start of using it is still my go to gear, with both the new mods and toppers. All the rest were either disliked from the start or a flash in the pan that eventually wore out their welcome when I got something I liked more. For me it's been sort of a "when in Rome" thing here on the forum, diving into what the locals prefer. That's why I bought into the regulated mods and toppers for them at all. I had left regulated and typical tanks behind long before when the PAPS and then Reos got it done for me just fine for a very long time. A given that remains the same for both of us though is that we will both always use some Reos.

Whats been working for me = kanthol, single flat clapton, 4 wraps, 3.5 ID at 0.45 ohm, wicked with CBv2 @BigGuy s method. A flavorful warm vape at 30 -33 watts, no leaks/dry hits with 80%vg . . Would love to know what works for you! I know nicrome 24g, 6/7W, 3.5ID is the trend, thanks to the Sirs
Just got my serpent 25 a couple of days ago. Awesome flavor tank. I have the 22 as well but I prefer the 25, I like the draw stroke(lol) and the 4 ml capacity is much better. Currently running a single coil given to me by a friend, not sure what it is but it's hand rolled, coming in at 0.37 ohms running it at 37.5 w.
7-8 refills later, no leaks, no dry hits.
