Introducing the Precise Strata RDA

[forcedfuel50]

Ok, got my strata today. Just starting to experiment. I will post thoughts and pics when I get to a computer.

One thing first though. I'm struggling a little with machine oil taste. I have boiled, and boiled again with some Dawn in the water. I have scrubbed with soap. I suspect oil may be in the air passages. Anyone have any pointers on how to remove it? The air passages are too small to get much in there for scrubbing.

Yeah, that reminds me to remind folks to wash thoroughly. When these are machined, the CNC uses coolant to cool and lubricate as it's machining, though we rinse them and blow them out, theres always some residue behind, especially in the tight passages, so you'll need to clean and repeat as necessary.

Thanks to Nach... I had an opportunity to take a quick crack at the Strata and I have to say it is very promising. The 360 air flow is perfect for the Ophion as Nach suggested. Long story short, this happened... and he was right!

Here's the vapor production... Video

My conclusion... it has a lot of potential. If I'm given the chance to have a good sit and build time on it, I can build the perfect ophion coil on it (unlike the rush build shown above) and it will produce more vapor.

other potential build candidates for the Strata:

Again, thank you Nach for the opportunity and he will now guide you on how to build an ophion coil

Do you know of a detailed video or write up on how to make this coil, looks like a winner. It really creates a lot of surface area on the wick and takes advantage of the 360 degree airflow. I'll have to give it a go myself!

Oh snap! These started shipping?

Have the P+ variants started going out yet?

jamesd1628 got his P+ version today.

Sad day. I haven't gotten a shipping notice yet.

Wondering if this Ophion could be built with 1 ohm coil for use with the 18350 battery.

 

[jamesd1628]

Indeed I did. I would put up a pic but I need image shack and I can't do that from my phone. I will put some up ASAP.

Hey Dave,
Couple of questions...
1) If I order a precise parts kit can it be combined with my strata order since I don't have a shipping notification for it yet so I'm not paying double shipping?
2) where can I get a HD replacement spring for my precise since you're sold out...

I'll work on a write up/pictorial of this as soon as I can.

I was just looking for a HD spring this morning and was going to ask same question. But noticed they were out. I gotta get me stronger spring.

In the video, that was approximately ~0.7 ohm with 27g kanthal used on an 18350 AW IMR.

Thanks for your time last night, iTEO! I'll be sure to meet up with you again when the 18650 Simplicity arrives. Then we will try twisting some kanthal!

Simplicity Strata acquired. 1 down, 1 to go...

Wow 9ball_AJ, that looks so beautiful. Love the satin and polished combo you chose.

 

[9ball_AJ]

I really wish the Simplicity Strata would have been offered in Satin, but no need to fret, my P+ version is Satin!

 

[anavidfan]

I usually like matching things, and Ive been contemplating sending one of my Odysseus to be satinized, but I kinda like the look. Now seeing your setup it looks amazing and and now Im kinda thinking I dont need to..... but maybe I can put the satin Ody on the polished ELA.

Thank you Nach. I think this is the first one I try when mine gets here for my P+.

 

[Nach]

I see some sort of delrin tip accoutrement, is that for heat protection?

Well, with the Ophion Coil, if you use the stock drip tip, the cotton sort of robs you of your vapor. So we went with the non-helix affect.

I typically like all satin. I ain't much of a bling guy. But yours looks pretty killer.

I hope that one day Super Dave will do a complete stealth hybrid 18350 simplicity in DLC. It's a killer black coating they put on knives and guns.

I also have to say I love the fit and finish of my P+.
