First Impressions
For those who don't know I'm a bit of a bargain hunter, a bargain hunter who sometimes buys now and thinks about it later on. This can be a risky strategy of course but so far I haven't had many issues with my rash decisions. This rather splendid looking Luggy tank is a point in question. Without any prior research and a low start price on eBay staring me in the face I bid and won it for just 99p! (Plus a couple of quid for postage).
Like a cat that just got the cream I sat back and waiting for it to arrive.
To be honest I hadn't seen a 'Luggy' before and after a bit of Google time I found out that this tank actually belongs to the 'Luggy' box mod. A curious looking device which looks a lot like some trendy aluminium luggage. You know, the metal suit cases that posh people drag around the airport on wheels.
Below is a picture of the complete Luggy set up


I must admit it is a rather unique design but not my cup of tea.
Apparently the complete kit comes with stickers which can be applied to the main mod to make it look like a really jet setters suit case?! Ok!
and here is a pic of some really 'Luggy' luggage

You can see what Movkin were trying to do here. They haven't done a bad job really.

So anyway, the box arrived and inside was a whole wealth of bits and bobs to get you started.

Literally bags of extras

What's in the box?

  • Luggy tank 4.5ml
  • 1x dual Kanthal 0.3 ohm coil
  • 1x Ni-200 nickel 0.2 ohm temp control coil
  • 1x RBA base
  • 1x bag of cotton
  • 2 x 0.5 RBA Kanthal coils for rebuilding
  • Various screws, rubber rings and a screwdriver
  • Instructions manual
Notice there wasn't a spare replacement glass tank in amongst the goodies? The glass in the tank is not replaceable as it's not likely to get smashed. It's as tough as old boots!

The Luggy is made from solid high quality stainless steel with a glass tank. The tank is protected on the outside by an aluminium rib cage which makes it very unlikely to get smashed. I like that feature 👍😉
The drip tip is also made from the same aluminium and feel high quality.
The only other materials used here is silicone for the O-Rings.
Overall the build quality is fantastic, it's heavy and feels rugged enough to take anywhere. I'm really impressed so far.


The Coils
Movkin have been quite generous with the Luggy tank in my opinion. Not only do you get a standard dual Kanthal wire coil, you also get a nickel 200 coil and a spare loose coil for the rebuildable head.
The coils themselves are quite big and heavy and the juice holes wide. This allows the tank to be fired at a high power or temperature without dry burning the wick through a lack of juice flow.

0.2 ohm Kanthal, 0.3 ohm Ni-200 and the RBA coil

The Luggy can be pushed quite hard. It's more than capable of a high wattage or temperature. It takes everything in its stride.

I won't mention my attempts at rebuilding...... It's a vertical coil at work here and that means it requires a different style of wicking. Let's just say that my inexperience left me with juice in my lap..
I will come back to the rebuild at a later date.

As for the flavour you get from these coil, it's really good. The dual Kanthal standard coil really brings out the flavour when you push the Watts above 50 and the nickel coil seems to smooth things out and adds a creaminess to the taste at settings above 220C.  Not too shabby at all for a big tank.

Filling it with Ejuice
There are a few interesting Innovations with the Luggy tank and the way you fill is one.
Not only can you fill this tank from the top by unscrewing the lid

Fill from the top



You can also fill it from the bottom by unscrewing the base. 
A most interesting concept. I'm not sure if this is the first tank to do that (it probably isn't)  but it's the first one that I have come across and I do like having the choice of how I can fill it.

Fill from the bottom 




The Airflow control
One of the selling points of this tank is it's ability to be both a mouth-to-lung and a staight-to-tank inhale tank. The Luggy adhesives this by having slotted air flow holes on both the base and the drip tip.


To be fair the Luggy doesn't do a bad job of offering both an airy inhale and a tight inhale to cater for both crowds,  exactly what they said on the box. I can't fault them for that.

Rifled drip tip 

The other Innovation on this tank (and it might not be a Innovation?) is the strange rifled drip tip. If you take a look down the barrel you will see a deep carved spiral cut into the aluminium running from top to bottom.  Movkin say it makes improvements to the air flow or circulation? I'm yet to be convinced of this but it does look pretty cool none-the-less.

The overall look
The amount of people who have asked me about this tank is ridiculous. Everyone seems in awe of its size, build and cloud production.  Where can I get one of those? How much did you pay? haha





Rating: 👍👍👍👍 4 out of 5
I really love this tank, it's only fault is the fiddly rebuildable deck otherwise it's a great heavy duty tank with a decent juice capacity. A true TPD buster!
