Johnny Johnny Johnny,
That is one sexy setup!

Thanks Bill, it's my first dripper in this style. Currently loaded with a mesh wick (I hear they're bad for you lol) & 5 wrap 28ga for about 1ohm.
The switch is super slick. I'm in 2 minds about the atty adjuster on the alternative top cap, but in hybrid mode I'm lovin' it :)

Vape mail yesterday :)

When this mod was introduced I was not crazy about it's aesthetics...I thought it was a bit gaudy. However, my love for the Red Copper LE Stingray and Mixed Phantom Brass Stingray mods kept it on the radar. Over time (while waiting for it's release) I have grown to appreciate it's unique characteristics, especially that it offers the power of a copper mod and the durability of stainless steel wrapped up (literally) into one device. The logo design is milled through the SS wrapping to reveal the copper tube underneath resulting in a very unique appearance and an overall artistic look and feel. It is now a "durable" powerhouse of a mod with silver plated copper contacts and a floating center pin/switch design that makes things very simple when adjusting for battery rattle and different atomizers (similar to the nemesis). It comes with a brass hybrid adapter, carry bag and custom two tone (SS with copper) drip tip. It is a modular tube, although the seems are virtually undetectable to the eye. This thing is small even in 18650 mode. The magnetic switch has been redesigned and IMO is now even better. Overall, this mod is one of my favorites already. I just want to share my opinion with my High End family and provide a brief, unbiased review for those that might be considering this device.

I would like to see a pic of your build if possible. Thinking about doing the same in my Senio dripper. Todal did one, I believe.

It took me longer to take a decent photo than to set the coil up haha..

The crack is to cut the mesh on the diagonal, you'll find the rolled wick is really bendy compared to a normal wick.
Make sure everything is well oxidised, wind the coil around the wick and tie it to the posts. I found it best to raise the wick a little so it wasn't touching the sides of the well, then begin pulsing. When all the hotspots are worked out you can lower the wick and bend it gently into shape. Pulse again until you're satisfied the hotspots are gone, then add a little juice to the coil area, pulse & repeat.
After that you should be good to go.
I was surprised at how many pulls I could get out of a little juice.

*edit. I forgot to say, if you're using 350 batteries, take your time with the pulsing as obviously hotspots are shorts and you don't want to stress the battery :)

Great review.
I saw your post about Vaporev having them and followed suit. Awesome setup. Mine should be here any day now.

Thanks VapinBill, glad you were able to snag one...I think your going to really enjoy this mod, the pictures don't do it justice, it's much better in person.

Something about SS with copper lately for me - kind of reminds me of a silver/gray car with burgundy interior, not to mention the performance benefits :D

Just got this in today, she's a beauty and hits better than both my nemmy & panzer. Looks great with the tobh, all around solid build.
