Some first impressions:
1. Packaging/goodie bags/manual - really well done. Anyone who is new to building will finding everything she/he needs to start.
2. Exterior machining/ threading is excellent. Some minor machining marks on the internal pieces, but nothing extraordinary or visible when rta is in use.
3. Everything fits snag, AFC ring is not to loose or too tight. Perfect.
4. Yes, stamping/etching/branding is everywhere, even under the sliding cap:)

5. Vape is very quiet and flavour is very good but I need more time to test it side by side with my other atties.
6. Minor issue (nitpicking). The silicon piece around the juice filling port is a bit too thick and catches between sliding cap and the other piece when you closing it.

But it comes with black and white O rings, too... ;)

@VictorC, what mechanism opens and closes the sliding top cap? Does it lock by that silicone around the fill port? My questions come from wondering just how long before the sliding cap starts loosening up - possibly in a purse or pocket. :eeks:

PS. That's a cute touch!

    I can't deal with that green.... :) Either that, or I am attempting to not purchase ANOTHER RTA, there's really only so many that I NEED. WANT? Well, that's a different story. :)

    @Katdarling - the sliding cap has a ballbearing, you need to push it pretty firm to open/close
    @Katya -AFC is flexible within MTL boundaries, from very tight on a single small hole to a very loose when all holes are open

    Another niggle - orings on supplied mouth pieces are a bit thin, replaced with my own.

    And WHEN the tablet is geeked out, and WHEN you decide to shower us with pics, I'm guessing you WILL have yours set up with the EAGLE GREEN O's! Maybe even a green drip tip?

    Congrats, Knees. :D

    Wow, thats bad! Are you saying you can´t close the top cap completely and it will stay this way with a bit of the silicone seal squeezed in the top cap? I would not consider this a minor issue... at ALL! Very worrying...hmmm.
