You did say 'explain it to me like I'm five', didn't you?....

Once you've put the atomizer in its intended place, you can use it, with the benefit of protecting the threads on the mod and limiting somehow the 'sinking effect' of long 510 male conector over the central pole of the iStick, but you can also bend it over the side of the mod, after pressing the button, so the combination changes from a long vertical to a not so long (but wider) packet. It also reduces to near zero the bending stress over the 510 conector, as many have complained about them if you try to wear them in a pocket, or at least it moves them from the 510 to the adaptor hinge...
It is up to the personal taste of each one to decide if it is worthwhile or not. I just think it is a really interesting idea, but a devised-one after our input about the evident weakness of the iStick's 510 conector.
They are becoming masters of the improvisation... but at least they value, somehow, our input as customers...
The thing was to design the tiniest 20W VW mod possible....they delivered, but with some unavoidable constraints from its design choices, those which granted this little marvel, like the fixed battery (a removable one would made a bigger mod), an internal PCB with just actuators and no soldered cables for buttons (again, a bigger PCB), electronics based in something quite different of what we've become accostumed to (hence the unusual heat sink inside, and also possibly the PWM output, but with less weight and size), and finally the simplest 510 available, which happens to be our well known plain rubber grommet 510 from eGo, just upgraded to retain liquids.....
We've passionately accepted their invention, even with its minor drawbacks, but they are improving it.... with accesories.
