Another review. Mine shipped today -- time to stalk the USPS guy...
Been playing with this for the afternoon and overall am 100% satisfied with the purchase. Simple to build, nice smooth airflow, squonks like a dream, cap stays cool, very good flavor but can also put out an impressive amount of vapor.
Only cons so far is that it arrived with a fair amount of machine oil on it. While I always wash any new atty, this is the first one in a while that I could clearly smell and feel the oil on it. Also, the top and base are slightly different shades of black. It’s not a night and day difference, but in the right light it can clearly be seen. My poor photography skills hinder me from clearly showing it in the photos.
Build is a 26g SS316, parallel, 3mm diameter, 7 (as I recall) wraps, 0.25 ohms. I usually shoot for 0.2 to 0.3 for a mech squonker, and this landed perfectly in the middle.
Going to be trying out different builds for sure, but for the moment, I’m going to enjoy this one for a while.

How is the Air Flow?
With the Size of those Air Inlets, I'm sure it can do Wide Open fine. How does it work for a More Restrictive hit?
It works well for a semi-restricted draw. I would not consider it to be suitable as MTL atty -- just too much air even with just one hole open just a hair.
I'm still playing with airflow but have already determined that wide open is just too airy for me, and kills the flavor. Either just one hole full open, or in the middle so both airholes are partially open seems to be what works best for my taste.

Yeah... That was something I started to think about on this rda. Perhaps having too much Air Flow.
I like the Air Flow of a Wide Open NarDa. Which is by most standards a Semi-Restrictive hit. When I get mine, if it has Too Much air flow, I might try Plugging one set of the Air Tubes with a piece of Silicone Tubing.
Thanks for the heads up.Just ordered one in stainless.This one has been on my radar since I first heard about it.Glad to see you are happy with it.If anyone is looking for one, just saw that MVS has them listed for $24.99, which is the lowest I've seen so far. Both black and stainless.

I have heard the different color between the top and bottom parts of the cap is common and not limited to the black the stainless is reported to have it too.
My thought was the same on the airflow, its good to know that it can be closed up
My SS is the same top and bottom
