If he still has his Darwin review up, watch it. I was actually mad at him after that video. Though you may remember when there was always a debate, Darwin or provari, Darwin or the provari. I was a Darwin fan, I remember once even saying I would never buy a provari, Lol.
I have been stuck in the stupid hospital for days now with something that came out of nowhere , so its a little depressing but having my prettier half smuggle my simplicity 26 , quasar and h1n1 makes the whole situation a lot easier 
I love this thing! I might buy a congestus one day but when that day comes I certainly won't be trading this for it! The tolerances on this mod are impressive to say the least,when you drop in your battery it rides down on a cushion of air. You just have to hold one to understand the balance of it. There are a couple of "shoulda beens" with her and shes not perfect but damn close. I can honestly say out of all my gear there isnt another mod I would rather have with me and I have a few to choose from. So if you are waiting for yours to arrive , Congrats! You will soon have your very own precision instrument of vape and if your on the fence just grab one already , it is awesome!

I am a big Super T fan and love David's work.
I havn't used my tube mods since buying my Reo a long time ago but will never sell them.
I would however, almost certainly buy a simplicity 26650 if the polished ones do become available again just maybe for occasional use in my office.
I would also love a Strata but put off slightly by having to have a small gap to achieve some airflow.
I did follow a lot of Scots work in the early days as a newbie and also appreciate David the different effects forced air and vacuum would have on airflow.
This maybe a silly question to everyone who owns a Strata but would you say the Strata airflow design improves the vape over the traditional adjustable side airhole design ?
Not trying to raise an argument, just curious.

Good morning UKPaul! I would say both a side hole and my design have their advantages and disadvantages. The key is that all atomizers have builds that may work great in one and not so great in another. What was demonstrated in the video was a single vertical coil as if to show the Strata design would only provide weak, wispy vapor and then popped a side hole bottle on it that worked better to say "hey see, the Strata is a bad design". That was another dis-service to the ecig community. That coil wasn't optimum for the Strata but their are several coils out there that will provide clouds of vapor. We could do just the opposite of his test too, take a dual 360 degree coil on the Strata and pop the little side hole bottle top and it would vape like crap, does that make side hole atomizers a bad design? No, just the wrong build type.
On the all polished 26650, we'll probably do another run in the future, but the two tone with polished end caps is damn sharp too.

For what I want in a vape, my answer is certainly yes. Compared to others I've tried (admittedly a smaller selection than some, my Mark-T, Immortalizer, and a variety of 5-6 cheapo clone side-intake atties) it is the best of all. For me the draw is where it shines. Whether it be nearly closed or wide open it doesn't effect the throat hit or flavor and it's a beautiful smooth pull across the range. It's also the only adjustable airflow that in my experience actually *has* a range, a real incremental difference with each small twist.
I happened to hit on a coil that works for me - easy, sloppy and quick. I've never been one to spend a lot of time making coils for the sake of making coils but I realize that for many people striving for the goal of the perfect coil is a large part of the fun, and sometimes I wish I were of a different bent for I *know* that if I were more particular I could make it even better. Regardless, the Strata is pretty much all I use these days, one goes with me everywhere.
Thanks for the response David.
I guess with the Strata, as I have found with a lot of vaping equipment, I may have to treat myself and make my own decisions.
Maybe on top of a polished Simplicity26650 with a slant cap.
I’ve been vaping for over 4 years and have tried many, many atomizers. It’s obvious, and becoming more so, that atomizer choice is a very personal thing. Obviously, that’s why there are so many types and designs available. For me personally, the best atomizers are the ones that (i) have a straight line between where the air enters the atomizer chamber and where it exits, and (ii) place the coil directly in that airflow line. That would be the Kayfun and its ilk (Taifun, Squape, etc.) and the Spheroid and its ilk (Prometey, Heron, etc.). IMO, these produce the best combination of flavor, vapor and throat hit, and I would have to assume that it’s the result of the efficiency of the airflow design. And I think this is consistent with David’s points about fluid dynamics as it relates to atomizers.
Obviously, the Strata does not work on this principle. As I’ve stated in this forum and elsewhere, I have gotten good results from my Strata. I still have it and I still use it. I’ve also stated that, in order to match the performance of the other atomizers mentioned above, I do have to lower the ohms of my setup on the Strata. In my experience, the Strata performs at 1.1/1.2 ohms very similar to, say, a Kayfun at 1.5/1.6 ohms. I don’t know if that’s due to the airflow or something else, but that is my experience (and, to be honest, I’m guessing that it does have at least something to do with the airflow).
Regardless, the Strata works, and it works very well at lower ohms, which I think fuels a large part of the criticism of the Strata. Many folks don’t want to vape at 1ohm or lower, based largely on battery limit considerations (which could mean either increased risks and/or shorter battery life). That is especially true if you can get similar performance from another atomizer at higher ohms (and, consequently, with less risk and longer battery life).
At the end of the day, there is no way that every atomizer is going to make every vaper happy. Everyone has their preferences and that’s not likely to change.

The Strata may be for me based on your findings as I have vaped in the 0.5 to 0.6 ohm arena for the last 6 months or so.
Although running this low on ohm's eats juice but due to running a bottom feeder it has never been a problem.
Another reason for me due to battery life why it would go so well on the 26650.
Hi Nach,
I havn't been back and checked but I think it was your pics of the polished 26650 that I fell in love with, and the Super T site pics.
Not sure but I don't remember seeing any with an atti on though, I will have to go back through the thread.

I almost picked up a congestus. Till I found it weighs nearly 14 oz, I don't remember if that was with a battery and a dripping atomizer, or just the mod. Clone of the congestus should be out before long, personally that will be the way I go for that piece.
This is actually the thread for the simplicity 26650. The only one talking about the strata now, is you. Maybe try the actual strata thread? http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...81422-introducing-precise-strata-rda-272.html
After seeing those pics again I will have to get the polished version when they become available. The 26650 simplicity definitely changed my neg opinion of 26650 mods.These have been the only ones I've posted
