Got mine in and, while way more time is needed before I can legitimately pass judgement on the tank, so far it’s two big thumbs up!
The build quality is excellent. All the threading is perfect not only on the tank but also on the build deck grub nuts. I’m not nuts (if you’ll pardon the horrid pun) about them having flat heads instead of hex heads, but no problems in actual use.
The overall style is also very nice with one exception: the “racing stripe” that is on the black version. To my eye it’s distracting rather than complimentary to the overall look of the tank.
The extra top cap does not come installed, but rather is packed in the base of the box. I’m using it but even with it not installed, the glass did not wobble when it was fully exposed at the top.
I put in a pre-built coil from a sample pack I got from Advanced Vape Supply – one of their 316L SS Vertebraid coils. I usually build my own, but not having a good hand day today (arthritis). So, dipped into my stash of pre-builts. It was a 0.21 ohm coil with an ID of just a hair over 3mm.
Mounting the coil was very straightforward. I didn’t use the single coil spacer, but rather mounted it in the center. Very easy to wick as well – just cut, fluff and gently poke so that the full juice hole is covered but not packed.
So far I’ve run it only in wattage, and have been 100% satisfied with the vape quality and taste. No problems whatsoever with the wicking keeping up even when chain vaping at 70 watts. Very ample airflow. I’ve only been using the shorty tank but I’m certainly going to be swapping it out for the larger one – I can blow through a tank VERY quickly even with just the single coil build.
The only notable dislike so far is the sound. Wide open there’s a wind tunnel like sound from the airflow. It’s low-pitched so it’s not as grating as airflows that whistle, but it still is somewhat annoying. This is not a tank I’ll be using when speaking on the phone.
Sorry for the poor quality photos – best I could manage.
