Well got the chalice in today (after my mailman tried to not deliver it and I had to chase him down to the next neighborhood no joke lol) and I'm quite impressed. Machining is perfect as to be expected. The engineering is perfect. My only issue is the vape, having to get used to a smaller single coil atty again BUT that is a very small qualm...the vape off this thing is fantastic in terms of flavor and density. I'd say it's well wroth what I paid, now I just need one of those new woodvils to slap it on!

Got my Chalice III today! Wow!!! Amazing atty. looks a little tiny on my Grand, but the vape is amazing!

I put a simple 29 gauge coil in it at around 1.4 ohms and its vaping great. But I was just curious what builds everyone else is using!

29 gauge 1.2 ohm spaced coil with RxW wick, I won't need to coil or wick again for months.

After several days of trying to talk myself out of getting a couple of these, I finally ordered them and a long lusted after blue metallic LP. There just aren't any new single coil bottom feed atties coming on the market and I am not a fan of the dual coils. I typically go back and forth between the RM2's and Cyclones with AFC. I really hope these were worth it and hope they are as sturdy as the reo's with the new 510's

29 or 28g A1 Kanthal, .60 ohms on both the Chalice II & III. Never disappoints

TOTALLY worth it. Well made, threads are like butter and if you prefer tighter, warmer draws versus airy, lung hitters, you won't be disappointed

Got mine... I love it!

This thing oozes quality in engineering and machining. It's a LOT smaller than I had mentally pictured, but I find that a plus, actually. I especially love the essentially leak-proof air delivery -- ingenious! The tightness of the draw is exactly where I like it, and where I had my Cyclone AFC set. Basically just a teeny bit more open than a stock Cyclone cap or RM2. And the teeny chamber really concentrates the flavor a lot. Definitely the most flavorful atty I've ever used.

My only gripe is that I think I prefer posts with holes to the wrap-around approach. The wrap-around makes it pretty difficult to even try a parallel coil, due to the difficulty of securing two wires down per post. But a 3.5-wrap 30AWG 1Ω coil seems to be just perfect, if not quite as cloudy as the .6Ω parallel I had been using in my Cyclone. Also, the little post toppers can be a biatch to work with if you accidentally loosen it too much to the point it comes off.

But all in all, definitely a 5-star atty. Very pleased.

This reminds me - a warning to those just receiving your Chalice now!
Several people in the first run found out that the clearance is tight between the posts and the cap!!
Don't leave any wire ends sticking up or out to the side - and even better, CHECK YOUR BUILD ON AN OHM-METER AGAIN AFTER YOU PUT THE CAP ON. It's worth it to prevent a short!
