Looks interesting, like the design (seems like a short tank 58.6 x 24mm), holds 5ml of juice. top fill design like the billow v3.

2 different 17.8mm build decks.

Standard 2 post 4 hole velocity style (can do quad coils)

Then theres this, sextuple coil @ 300 watts, why would anyone ever...I suppose you could use the sextuple deck to do an easier quad coil build?

Got one - really has great flavor and incredible clouds
Now the building of this device is really wonky
The Main deck and 510 do not screw in so you have to use a Allen wrench or small rod to hold the deck in place while you add your coils - there is a small hole through the 510 for this

Then to torch your coils, you have to remove the rod - since it will not read the coil, and then you have to place the bottom part of the deck cap on, to hold the Coil deck in place - which makes torching a bit cumbersome (he didn't show that in the video)

Once you got your coils "a-glowing" then you have to take off the cap to wick
I found it easier just to fill the channels with plenty of wick - ala Mutank style, and then place the Cap back on.

No leaks - the .30 om Claptons it came with work fine

CONS
  • Wide bore is too short and gets hot at higher watts as it is so close to the atty
  • No recoil or re-wick without spilling out or finishing your juice first
  • Top fill - Crius style is a PIA as you have to take the top fully off after pulling
  • No Juice Flow control
  • Crappy deck concept as explained above - but it gets the JOB done

PROS
  • Fab flavor and even fully open at 80W still gives rich dense style vape
  • Handles 5 Mils
  • I can see this at even higher watts - but that is not my style
Do I recommend ?
Great flavor and clouds - yes

Newbies not a good choice for you at all

Thanks not seen too much of this rta but it's really interesting

Which deck have you built on? Is 6 Claptons necessary? Is there plenty of room? It's definitely on my list to get

theres another thread also about this tank. I did a quad coil clapton 32/26 6-7 wraps 2mm IAD on the T6 70-80W and a dual coil clapton 32/26 6-7 wraps 3mm IAD on the T4 deck 40-50W.

This is just my opinion but the tank isn't worth the hassle with the free floating deck. I believe @100%VG and someone else had this working but to me this tank requires too much tinkering to get the vape you want. And even then its probably comparable to most velocity style decks out there.

Again my opinion, I felt the moonshot, which has the exact same free floating deck, produced better flavor and similar vapor. The serpent which is a single coil RTA produces better flavor albeit slightly less vapor. The supreme (same dual clapton build) produced better flavor and similar vapor.

I don't think 6 clapton is necessary but of course that is personal preference. I find my sweet spot for flavor, vapor, and battery life to be between 30-60W, so I try to build my RTAs around that power requirement.
