O think the "designed as a dripper" is there to not confuse the shopper, so they don't accidentally confuse it as a genisis type.

Video on Youtube I forgot I posted. Very lightly torched A7. The more you torch the darker the resulting color. It was a very rainy day with a short break in rain. The purple color on cap is not nearly as purple and dark as shows in video. My goal is to get consistent "brass" look whole rba. Torching is really easy. That's how they get the "black" SS.
Do most of you who have tried this agree? I find it depressing.
Nope. Well, kind of. These results are definitely possible, of course. But wicking, flavor, and throat hit can all be adjusted depending on your coil and wick setup. I don't have any of those issues, with exception of muted flavor (I can change that, but in my setup it would reduce the capacity of the RBA and I don't want to do that).
My A7 works just fine, but YMMV.
I dont think it is fair to rate a rebuildable on performance, as that is completely dependant on the users ability to make the "perfect" setup.

I agree that the TH, vapor, and flavor are almost totally dependent on user and materials used for coil/wick.
Two main things I adjust on some of the RBAs is how much air goes over the coil and the ohm of coil. ERA and Hornet, with air intake from hole in cap is perfect amount of air for my preference (while a lot of people actually open the hole a bit).
A7 I have to put a toothpick point into one of the air intake holes on threaded fitting to reduce the airiness. (Mini A7 has a tighter draw so haven't needed to do that to it.)
REOmizer is way too airy for me. I had to seal the hole in cap and then drill out smaller hole.
Too much air can affect TH.
One thing to consider, also, is the design of the A7s and Surface allow a lot of juice to be in well and keep the coil more saturated.
ohms............. I'm finding that on some of the RBAs I need to reduce the ohm of coil down 0.2 to 0.5 ohms from what I normally like with premade attys and cartos.
I'm still waiting on my Surfaces but Robert, REO, says that the A7 is a knock-off of the Surface.

{edit} The 32 Kanthal doesn't do it for me no matter the RBA. 30 Kanthal does.

Surface Preorder Verdampfer Selbstwickelverdampfer
Google Chrome translates page well. There could possibly be another place to get them but not in US as of yet. Vape4me, Michael, is the creator of the Surface. He speaks fluent English if you want to contact him.

I'm just trying to understand how the A7 is a knockoff of the Surface, if the A7 is already on their second version and the Surface is still on preorder 
not trying to stir up anything... i just dont see how that statement is valid...

I'm just repeating what Robert REO said. He made comment that China is getting the clones out before the modders get enough made to get onto market. The Surface prototype has been out for a while. Michael just got his small production finalized a few weeks ago.
BTW... the first preorder for the Surface was early Oct 2012 when Michael sent them to the SS millers. That's the preorder I participated in. Several US REOnauts have received theirs in past week. Hoping mine is in town today.
plus they dont look anything alike
From what I can see of the Surface pictures it is almost identical to the A7 Mini; at least the innards. Hopefully I'll know by afternoon tomorrow, if they have been delivered in town. BTW... I'll take the mailing envelope to get yours off to you.
I'll take screw in base insert out of Surface and get a pic of it along side the innards of A7 Mini. (Innards of both and A7 screw out of base.)
The one thing I know for sure, and would bet almost my life on it............. I can reach Michael, vape4me, creator of Surface for any little tiny parts I might need. For the Hornet and ERA, even though Budz is technically, a "modder" getting info and parts is worse than pulling teeth. You can order some parts from Indyvapor but not the post insulators, center positive posts, etc.

I'm not knocking the A7...... And they are cheap enough to buy the whole thing if something breaks, especially if purchased at co-op prices. I love my A7 Mini and, to a lesser degree, my A7.
And althoug we should be supporting our modders, a lot of people just cannot afford the straight from modder prices.
