When I get home today I'm going traditional as heck. Nach and I will report. The new airflow is quite different than our beta units. Better.
Snork when you come to Phoenix...........Bring your Strata incase we can hook up, I would love to see it
......
I don't mind gaps as long as they serve a function and aren't a miss fit. Which the Strata would fall into both of those.
I'd like a picture of my P+ Strata sitting atop my freshly refinished P+ 18500 Or maybe my Simplicity Strata on top of my Ti 18350.
Shipping notice received yesterday. I'm getting something soon, anyway.
Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot I ordered a Ti 18500 too. I guess it could be that. In any case...

I just tried a snorkwrap with 26g and I feel it doesn't perform as well as it could. I'll be working on some more ambitious builds soon enough.
Indeed. I had been thinking 26 was a bit too ambitious myself.
Right now I'm going to build a nice standard 1.5 ish single coil. Wish me luck.
Hey all.....long long time no see...
So I find myself just now getting into the idea of an rda for my precise+ (that's now something like 2, 2 1/2 years old at this point...
So my question is is the precise + strata still in preorder stage or are any of them shipping yet....
How many of the precise+ models are left of that initial 200?....
Just curious because tying up $150 for 3-4 weeks isn't so bad....as long as it doesn't become the multi month wait that the super6 was or the precise+ was...
*suppose technically I should send in the p+ 181650 for a refinish and slightly dinged up button and bottom cap/horns...but It's the only device I use and I use it everyday all day out in the field,shop, and home...

I was pretty happy with the single coil that I built last night. To answer someone's previous question, I did get better performance on the single coil when I blocked two of the air intake holes. Keep in mind, the adjustable airflow works by rotating the top cap. As you rotate the cap, the actual hole(s) that dump air in front of the coil will change. You'll understand what I mean when you guys see it in person.
In order to get max usage of all the air holes, I just built a dual coil (28g, 8 wraps on 3/32" nail, approx. 0.65 ohms). While the single coil is easier to make and sufficient in performance, a dual coil setup definitely makes optimum usage of the airflow design. I suppose that the SnorkWrap would as well, but I haven't gotten around to building one on this production version yet.
One thing that I will mention is that the Strata definitely runs hotter than my other RDAs. I have a 0.45 ohm dual coil on my Origen, and this 0.65 dual coil is significantly hotter. Obviously, the hybrid design of this RDA will make it more efficient, and the rhodium over gold plated contact point will also make a difference.
For the sake of being brutally honest, cloud chasers might be a bit underwhelmed, but flavor chasers (like me) will be thoroughly satisfied. I would categorize the vapor production as moderate...satisfactory for my style of vaping. The reduced chamber and unique airflow design combines to create some great flavor!!!
Aesthetically, well....isn't that obvious?!?!?

Freckle:just had a thought, the vapemate, will that interfere with any of the functions? Will this Atty still preform as without? I ask cause the mention of the tip saying the tip provided will work best.
one of you beta testers, who own a vapemate will you check that for me when you receive your test units back? pretty please!!
The use of the VapeMate is not possible on the Strata. The position of the center post of the Strata projects too far upward to allow it to fit in. Related: If one wishes to use a different drip tip than the one which comes standard, you must make sure (if it's metal) that the bottom of it will not make contact with the center post, either by not reaching it or fitting completely around the post and not touching.
Does the longer drip tip perform better? I prefer the look of the shorter one, but if it performs better, so be it. Maybe Dave can offer the shorter one in the future. Of course with the added heat Path just mentioned, maybe the shorter tip would get too hot.
I am using the shorter tip from the original beta version because I prefer the look of shorter drip tips. I have never had a problem with any SS tip getting hot when I vape, and the same goes for this. The top cap definitely gets hot, especially with my current dual coil, but the tip is not hot at all. I will throw on the longer tip to see if that affects anything.
Definitely it runs hotter, the hybrid and rhodium plating contribute, but additionally the air intake with its long passages through the piping hot body of the top cap heat the air even before it hits the coil. I'm thinking a considerable amount! As you'll see, the top cap gets nice and warm and stays the way for quite awhile.
The longer tip may have come from a request by me. I have big lips and I use 'em. When I switch back and forth between short and long I feel no difference in performance or feel.
Hmm, might still work with an adapter. I have the atty extender pieces from both my UFS and Amp tanks, so that could be worth trying
Site shows 10 P+ versions still available
I guess it's technically still "pre-order" since they haven't actually shipped yet, but are getting close to it
That gave me a good laugh. I needed that after the day that I've had. I agree, I don't feel a difference in performance between the two tips. I measured them out, and they differ in size by 5mm.
You make a great point regarding the heat that results from the length of the air channels. One thing that I forgot is that my two dual coil setups are using two different gauge wires. Thicker wire generally tends to run a bit cooler than thinner gauges so my comparison might not exactly be fair. I'll grab some more 26g from my brother and will build an identical setup to see how they compare. Overall, I still expect the Strata to run hotter.
