Just got my Squape that was on the group buy a while back... I will have to say, the thing is impressive. It reaked horribly of machine oil, and that took taking every screw I could unscrew, and disasemble the whole thing... I cleaned with an oxy clean de-greaser, then boiled the thing in vinegar water.. then boiled in regular water.... it was tough to get that taste out. But it finally got out.
I built my second coil (first was just a temp coil), and I have to say, it is the easiest thing to build I own. The wick channel is exactly thewidth of the screwdriver I coil on. Wrapped 8 wraps of kanthal.. I believe 28 guage, and made a micro coil out of it. ran the cotton through and down the channels very neatly. put it on my vamo, and the thing vapes like a champ. The screws that hold the coils actually grab the coil unlike my kayfuns which slip out of the screws. It's easy to tighten down with bare hands, but has a slotted screwdriver just in case.
FFilling is fairly easy, just take off the deck while upsidown, and fill between the chimney and the wall. The coil and wick can be taken out and worked on without loosing juice which is a huge plus. take off the drip tip and the top of the atomizer is flat, so it can be put down without tipping or propping. the area around the screws are non conductive, so little worries about shorting. Everyhting looks neat and tidy.
only downsides are that the airflow comes from the 510 conector. This works as a bonus with the Vamo, since the top cap can be screwed up to restrict airflow, or down to allow more air. Another downside, is you MUST use a needle type filler, the area between the chimney and outside is very narrow.
So far, I am liking it a lot. If it continues to work like it has been, it may be my main topper. Ordering from FocalEcig was a bit confusing, and the no tracking because of the group buy left me wondering too much. I ordered another atomizer from
fasttech at the same time, and this arrived first. For Fasttechs defence, it did say it would ship in 5 days, so it might be a bit longer for the FT order. Overall, a decent exxperience, but the lack of a good translator for the product description and the non tracking lowered the quality of the experience and I'd have to give them a "reputable 6.5-7 rating.
Just thougth I'd share that with ya.
