Finally got around to doing this, sorry for the delay..
Lets see some pics first !!
From the moment I held the case, you can just tell that Freemax have upped their game, the case is thicker, the plastic and overall presentation is top draw and its all just a better quality. Not as eye catching as Kanger still but a step forward none the less. The tank on the other hand is up there with Kanger now, the machining, the threads, it is really great quality, It was my little complaint with the Freemax Starre V2, it just wasn't quite there but the new Pro tank has nailed it and then some..
Top fill works wonders, I like how the bottom of the drip tips turns, turn it to ON and unscrew the top reveals two slots to fill your tank, there is plenty of room in my opinion, and works well. You simply screw the tank top back on and turn the bottom of the drip tip to OFF which seals the tank.
Many have asked and speculated about the juice level, whether like the Subtank mini the coil sits too high and your lose 2ml of juice because you have to refill, I'm pleased to say, that's not the case here either. Freemax came up with a very clever idea, the chimney is actually spring loaded, when you screw the bottom part of the tank where the coil sits it pushes the coil up into the tank level with the holes. This means a full 4ml of juice before you need to refill. What this also does is seals the coil to the chimney better so you don't get any spit back. I will post a picture with the juice in the tank later, I just didn't have the time as my daughter is still sick (just the flu)..
Ever though that the seal was or would wear when you screwed the coil onto it on the old Starre tank, well as this is spring loaded it doesn't dig into the seal as it did before, basically, you can't over tighten it and will surely last longer.
The AFC is machined better too and looks better compared to the notches that were there before, you still get the clicking sound which is good. The airflow has increased on the AFC, (so Freemax states) personally, I couldn't tell the different but its already airy enough and now you have the added drip tip air flow.
Turning the top of the drip tip shuts off or opens the air holes, It really makes a difference to the vape but I'm still on the fence whether I prefer it closed or open, I think open takes a little of the flavour away but increases the vaper and does cool it somewhat..
Nickel 0.15ohm coil - These are the same great quality as the old Starre coils, in fact apart from the nickel, they haven't changed, the Kanthal are the exact same coils as before which isn't a bad thing as I rate them as the best pre built coils on the market.
The temperature control coils work really well, no dry hits of course and the flavour is superb. Would I use them over the standard kanthal 0.25ohm all the time, Im not sure, I still like setting the wattage to 60w and vape away, maybe I'm just set in my ways, need a few weeks to comment fully.
I'm 99% sure with the new design, your not going to get any leaks with this tank, it is just sealed so well, I can't see it leaking and so far it hasn't , I even laid it on its side over night and no leaks, spent the next night upside down, no leaks.
There has been no flooding or anything I can complain about, I'm sitting here thinking of negative things and are hard pushed to come up with any.. Ok, two minor things, this tank is tall, it doesn't bother me and is it really a negative, I'd rather have it tall than 30mm wide (mentioning no names). Second is the same complaint I have with the Starre V2 but even more so with the Pro, this tank drinks juice like I drink beer, down in one, haha, ok maybe not that quick but be warned, you can vape 20 - 30ml a day, in fact you can vape the 4ml tank in 30 - 40 mins quite easily. I have now moved onto diy juice for this reason because there is no way I'm giving up this tank so I will just have to live with it.
It's not secret on ECF, I spout Freemax a lot, I don't work for them, I don't get paid, I recommend them because ..again personally, this is the best of the best and now we have the Pro it has took the top spot over all of them (pre built of course)
If your not into building coils, if you like sub ohm vaping, if you like tons of flavour and vaper then there is only one tank to buy, it is a brilliantly, well thought out, engineered masterpiece. It vapes like a dream and you can just hit these coils over and over again for 2 weeks plus. Even three weeks in (on the old Starre) the coil wasn't bad tasting, it just lost flavour and couldn't handle high wattage..I have no idea why some say they taste like burnt rubber, mine taste of desserts and custards, rich thick warm vape.
Do yourself a flavour favour, go and order a Starre Pro tank, they are the bomb !
The Starre Pro was tested and vaped on a SnowWolf 200w box mod..
Happy vaping
