For those interested in glass rda's so you can see how wet your wick is without wearing down your orings all the time;
I got a Lancia (left) and an Aris.

The lancia sure has enough airflow.
It comes with about 6 or 8 airflow things which apparently go in holes on the inside; silly; would have been better to just raise airflow tubes on the inside and put an airflow ring on the outside; the airflow things don't screw in or fit snugly either, so anyhow you take it, this thing is likely to leak; so gotta run this thing more on the dry side, which is doable since you can see inside the glass and monitor it.

its a chuff cap, so you can take the top off and juice up the wick instead of dripping blindly down the hole for the drip tip.

The post arrangement is the ole boring 3postsinastraight line, but since the airflow comes up from below, it didn't seem so bad compared to trying to line up the coils with side entry airflow common on most drippers.


The Ares is a 3 post in a triangle with innovative wide separation, and airflow coming up the middle.
Very leak resistant.
Does not have a chuff cap.
Airflow intake is too tight; well that might give the wrong impression; the airflow is tight compared to the lancia; or veritas; or big dripper. What's the point of having an airflow ring where you can reduce the airflow as much as you want if you don't make the max airflow as big as it can be?


So why not get the best 2 out of 3 worlds!

Take the glass off the lancia, and use it on the aris!

Aaaaggg! It's a conspiracy I tell you!

The lancia top is too small to fit over the aris.
