    I find AIO's interesting. Nice form factor. However the interest usually stops right there. Leaking, faulty TC and oddities with tank/coils all weigh in to a non-purchase.

    I guess enough folks got that (IMHO:gawd awful) Cubis tank to work Kanger cloned it and put it into their latest AIO device.

    Disclaimer: I'am a fan of their STM and TTM series. Not so much their other stuff.

    Kanger first run products have been very disappointing & problem plagued lately and they still do not recognize the importance of QC testing & upgrade-able firmware. I'm not sure I would trust them to provide frequent firmware updates if they even had the feature.

    Nebox was a nightmare when first introduced, now it is the device all others are compared to so they do get around to fixing them eventually, just wish they took a bit more time to get them right the first time around. As a result of the Deeming I can understand the rush to market in this case though.

    Think Summa is interesting (if we could get them to put a DNA75 in it) because the tank has top and bottom access allowing it to work like Egrip II and Cupti but also transform into a Nebox type configuration with much more capacity and adapt to the stock coils or RBA of almost any tank on the market today very easily. Artery appears to be reluctant to capitalize on the strengths of the design at this point however which is very disappointing.

    Surprised Ecig.com actually has the Champagne & Rose Gold colors in stock. Haven't seen them anywhere else.

    Are you getting one btw? I'm seeing youtube comments from users saying they're getting flooding too.....please don't. But if you do, I'm dying to hear your thoughts :)

    Been torn on these. Nebox was a bitter disappointment in the early ones with the TC running scalding hot & jumping all over the place, but once I returned my first two, the replacements held temp and have been my main daily drivers even over my DNA200s. I ended up buying more of them. Now I have one in each color (including green) and two black (blue & green new in box still - Deeming Stash).

    Thought Plato was going to be the one, but that was a flop. Summa isn't bad, but heavy, the board is a disappointment (still trying to get Artery to put a DNA75 in it as a parallel product line & currently evaluating the RBA on Beta for Artery - good flavor but smaller than it has to be & therefore limiting). Egrip II has Great Flavor & Decent Airflow but spits like a Thompson machine gun with the Notch Coil & battery life is limited.

    Figured I would give Cupti a try at some point as it is smaller & lighter than Summa, really like the top display, looks, Pyrex Tank, proposed CLRBA & quick change battery door. Hate the USB, lack of firmware upgrade-ability, and complaints about the coil flooding from almost every reviewer (some of whom are retracting). Ecig-City has Cupti for $36.99 now in stock & 10% coupon brings it to $33.29 which is low enough that I may try (have to buy 2 for free shipping). Called the guys over at Ecig-City & they say they should be doing a coupon for the 4th that isn't announced yet but their boss doesn't tell them what it might be. If it offers enough incentive, I may just give it a go.

    If I had a half a brain, I would stay very far away from it until I'm sure they have fixed the issues and start selling it with the RBA. Part of me just can't seem to resist wasting my money on All-in-Ones that fall very short of my needs. All depends on what the coupon deal turns out to be.

    Does anyone on here have this yet? The reviews are all over the place; still seeing users speak about flooding, but then reviewers like Mike Vapes aren't even mentioning it.

    Would love to hear from someone who actually has it on here.
    Pretty sure Kanger pressures reviewers not to speak about shortcomings of products. Just look at all the trouble Daniel from DJLSB Vapes has had & how he says I don't care if you never send me another product to review Kanger - If there is a problem I will point it out. You know there is a problem when the reviews all come out being posted as first looks & unboxings and the reviewer says they will post their final review after some time with the equipment and they never do.

    Right now I think you are the only one checking in with the thread. Pretty sure early reviews killed the Cupti over coil flooding & no one is buying. Once they buy they will start checking the thread.

    I did take one for the team an ordered a unit from Ecig-City despite my better judgement and the fact that they ran no 4th of July coupon. They won't ship till after the holiday so I wont have it till next week I imagine.

    Received my Cupti a couple of days ago. Build quality is not great, scratches on the paint everywere and the inner chimney was offset to center. A bit on the heavy side.
    Vape quality is good and so is flavor. I would say STm prebuild coils quality. No flooding so far. There is a one second firing delay but it feels progressive and not an on off feeling. Nice air draw range.
    Compared to an egrip ii this wins hands down. Egrip ii coils are a joke and produce a harsh almost burned hit while being flooded with juice.
    Now if the rba section ever arrives I will update on that.

    Le Zephyr taste score 9
    Avocado score 8
    Cupti score 6
    Egrip ii score 2
    Fotton Aqua FX score 1

    Thank you for sharing your initial thoughts. So glad we are able to get actual feedback from a real person with the device in their hands. So nice to hear you are not getting the dreaded flooding that has plagued CL Tanks since April and most reviewers have noted on Cupti as well.

    Look forward to you sharing more of your thoughts & observations with us as you become more familiar with your device.

    Surprised at your experience with Egrip II. Not my experience with my two. I find them to provide a very moist vape and flavorful vape in TC mode @450-480f but spit like a machine gun with the notch coils to the point you need an ASB Drip Tip to even consider vaping on one. Capacity & battery life are definite downfalls.

    I have had mine for a few days now. I had to exchange the first one because the fire button was sticking. The replacement has worked perfectly. The coil floods a little bit when you add juice just like a cuboid, but after a few pulls it's fine. It does not spit juice like the cuboid does. My one complaint is the lack of wattage adjustment when in temp mode. It seems kind of stupid that it is set to 75W. Another thing I noticed was the first one I had the wattage up and down did not speed up if you hold the button, but the replacement one I got does now speed up. Overall i'm really happy with it. It's built well.
