Since I received my Aromamizer on Monday I have been using and enjoying the experience. It is quite different than a standard sub ohm tank and more like a dripper experience as most of you have already stated many times.

My first build on this with on the dual post Velosity style RBA section (the 3 post was not included), with dual 2mm 24ga Ti tightly twisted with 30ga Kanthal A1 horizontal coils. I did about 7 spaced wraps giving me around .114 ohms on my SXM, and set it for TC at 450F using 32J to keep it there. I found the 4 hole silicone ring to be a bit too much airflow so I have been using the 2 hole silicone ring instead, using the 2 holes that line up perfectly with the center of the coils and not the 2 that line up with the 2 posts.

I find the workmanship and threading to be stellar and the ease of filling to be very good. I use about 80VG/20PG DIY juice, and for wicking I am on a Pima cotton kick and it is working perfectly with this build. Not once have I experienced a dry hit. This is one deck that is a pleasure to wick unlike some other atty's that require a meticulous skill level and is very time consuming to achieve great performance.

The dual post Velicity style deck is also fairly easy to coil with some room to move around, but I gave up on my first set of coils which were twisted 2.5mm which adds additional volume which I could have made work, but chose instead to just tighten them up to 2mm instead. I am sure a 2.5mm single wire would work just fine, but the twisted 24ga Ti with 30ga Kanthal A1 just took up too much room. I would love to have done 3mm diameter coils but that wasn't going to happen with this twisted wire as it would short the chimney. Maybe with future builds I will try vertical instead of horizontal coils as I have read some of you have had great success, but for my initial build and desire to get this atty cranking, the horizontal was in the comfort zone.

Well the vapor production is excellent and the flavor is equally so. Just enjoying the ability to get dripper performance without having to drip. No condensation either at the base of the atty. The only thing I am noticing at times is that the drip tip can get hot when vaping hard. For those of you counting the juice requirements, I am going through 3-4 tanks a day on this atty. :blink:
DIY juice making is the only way to afford it. :toast:

I'm glad you're enjoying it :)

If you want a 3 post deck also, they are only about $8 from Steam Crave. Those are the ones I'm putting the verticals on.

I bought some teflon drip tips from Fasttech and these are nice for helping with the heat. They come in both 17mm and 20mm height.

I made a few changes to correct some of what 5i feel are issues towards this tank delivering it's best flavor. The two air holes aimed at the posts cool and dilute the vapor 100% Flavor is richer and vape is dense with the post holes blocked. Vape bands and tape is ugly and vape bands move easily. I thread tapped the two holes aimed at the posts with a 6x32 bottom tap. Only tap 3 1/2 turns deep so a 6x32x1/8" stainless set screw has a shoulder to tighten against. I also like lots of airflow so i drilled the two remaining holes out to 3.5mm. this increases air flow area by approx 40% A person could tap all holes to be able to block 3 of them for a single coil too.

Thanks for the tip! :thumb:
I agree, sucking wind only serves to dilute to vape, but I'm not going anywhere near those silly rubber bands. As soon as I opened the box, I tapped and plugged the two holes for the negative posts on my v-deck with 6-32 grub screws that I had laying around (couldn't find any SS ones unfortunately). I still need to tap another turn or two to get them to sit flush, but I was too anxious to vape it... this'll do for now.

First build with 9 wraps, 24 ga @ 0.5 ohm (overall) and it's a beautiful full-bodied vape. :p
So far I'm loving it with my NET juice.

I'm thinking of dropping a couple vertical coils into this thing.

This is how I usually build mine, with differing wire gauges and ID's. Still tinkering to find the perfect setup, but this works great, and wicks the best I've found (even 100% VG)

Is that one strand of cotton? I'm running dual vertical Claptons. It can keep up at 50 watts. 60 watts and I start to get anemic hits.

How does one go about building a single coil set up on a two coil deck like this? I might try that this weekend to reduce juice consumption.
Instead of building a single or dual coil setup on the outside of the two posts, you set your single coil between the two posts with the open ends of the coil heading directly at the air holes.

The trick is getting the end wires to turn back into the holes for the capture screws to tighten them down.
