Actually one big advantage over the v1 & 1.5 is the fact that they have solid posts. One post has an Allen screw in it (I'm guessing posi post), preventing your builds from going into and down the post like on the previous versions & other atties, and the other post doesn't have a gaping hole all the way through it, it just goes down to right underneath the hole for your coils and then is solid underneath.
The deck has a very solid feel to it. Like it's not going to break off a post for no reason & the 510 screw is protruding & hybrid safe.
The v2 drip tip is included for once (thank you Dotmod) for the price. It's shorter, yet just as wide as the dotmod friction fit DT's. It's wider than the Baby Petri tips & im guessing a couple mm taller. But the bore is the same as the v1 friction fit tips.
Also on a side note, the airholes are oval shaped, I'm guessing to prevent whistling. That's different from the v1 & 1.5 that I noticed right away as well. The finish is immaculate. Out of the box & out of the corked vial, I smelled no machine oil, nor was there any oil residue (I cleaned everything none the less before use.
A note on the finishing is that it just feels nice. It's anodized aluminum but the dotmod logo is applied differently than on my v1 & my cloud cap.
Overall, I'm loving it so far.
Now is it worth the $90? to me, 100% yes. Is it a simple, basic design? Yes. I feel like I can be able to rely on this atty for a while to come without having to worry about defects or any problems down the line.
So let's get a thread going on it. For once, at $90, it comes WITH a drip tip instead of having to buy one separately.
