I'd like to say that this design is truly going to be revolutionary and change the face of vaping, but ultimately there isn't much about the unit in itself that will be so revolutionary. There are quite a few very nice things about it overall. The adjustable center post and the slot, will be unique but ultimately won't make that much difference in performance, just assembly. The triangular design, certainly won't affect performance at all, and the notch won't either, but it certainly is unlike anything else on the market. The one and ONLY thing, that could potentially rock how this thing performs is utilizing all aluminum contacts everywhere. However I understand folks's concerns about vaping on aluminum. I've seen it with the Noble 1 and it's raw aluminum. This won't be raw aluminum all over the place, it will be anodized. The only places that will be raw aluminum is the screws and center post in the atty and I'm not concerned about leeching since it's not in the tank.

It is my sincere hope that these aluminum connections will make for almost neglible voltage drop and provide a strong consistent vape.. but I could be wrong.

hell, I'm even working on an anodized aluminum braided wick for the atty. Since anodized aluminum is an insulator, it should make wrapping the wick incredibly easy as you won't have any shorts from the Kanthal to the wick

Have you thought about insulating the wick hole in general? I have picked up a couple of the RSST rebuildables and love the insulators in those. They still allow a large wick hole but also make it very easy to accomodate an unoxidized wick or lightly oxidized wick and using the pulse method to work the coil to where it needs to be. I love my ZAP but hate that the insulator melts if your not careful. I have moved to using a carto insulator instead of the plastic oem ones. I have had no issues with melting or disconfiguring with the RSST insulators...just a thought is all?!?!

Not sure what other peoples thoughts on this are but i do know the insulator just make's setting everything up a breeze and may attract those with little to no experience in rbas or hybrids to try the model T. I think just with the affordability option you are going to attract newer users to this mod and with something like an insulator, it will allow them to have a more enjoyable experience with it.

Thoughts?

Ahh but see that's the key to anodized aluminum. It in itself IS an insulator. So since it's anodized, it's going to provide a insulated wick hole, but that doesn't solve the problem because the daggone wick will short to the kanthal and defeat the entire purpose. So your shorting to your wick and it's then going a .3 ohm or whatever and you pop your coil because the damn thing is shorting out all over the place.. the only way to solve this is to make sure that your wick itself is an insulator as well.

Just like my zen cobalt..... its a very convenient feature!

FC2000 Ceramic is an AWESOME wick to use to avoid the shorting issue. If you can get your hands on it, that is! Do you know or have any ideas for the wick hole size?

I've no clue what a brony is......

So here's teh scoop, I have pretty much finalized the price and machining for the Model T. I am still waiting for a confirmation, but it's pretty much in the bag. I am going to say tentatively that the final price is going to be $150, but not in stone yet till I get that confirmation. I can't express to you how excited I am now. :)

not too bad at all...at minimum 100 cheaper than hybrids currently and this one is crazy unique. When can we see pics of a final product????
