What do you think about some sort of optional blank/spacer to drop into the wells to shallow it up so if you didn't want t use the 1.5 ml capacity you didn't have to...or use so much wick....don't even know if it'd be possible...just a random though I had...

I like your random thought. I'd thought the same random thought.
Reason being it'd be easier to dry burn.
But as far as conservation of resources this is what I've done - I loosely packed the well with scraps of silica up to a certain point and then make my coil wick with shorter tails that sit on top. It works well and made my three coil changes very easy.
But what I haven't tried (with a standard coil) is just two longer wick legs that hang into the well. It is ridiculous that I haven't tried it for that is how I think it's meant to be.
Ummm... lets not and say we did
Is this to me?....
my thought behind this was simply if you weren't going to load it up but use it as a dripper or to sample something...it would need less wicking and provide less airspace down in the wells for air to divert to...just something less porous than wicking...
I get what you're saying. Except the airflow part. In any case the air is coming in sideways directly at the coil(s). Past that point I don't see any negative whether it gets diverted down or any which way.
My first setup was a standard coil at about 1.5 ohms. I can't say much about that one because I was tasting oil heavily and broke it down for cleaning. I'm on only my second setup now. It's a dual coil with 34 gauge wire, 4 wraps each around a 5/64 drill bit. Not sure of ohms because my only reliable meter has a 510 connection. However, it's working pretty well. Great flavor (oil taste is gone), good throat hit. The vapor production is pretty good too. I'm experimenting with moving the coils around. It does make a difference, but I haven't really drawn any solid conclusions yet.
I thought the same thing too when it came to the air hitting the coil and splitting with some going down into the well, but the air is being drawn upwards and not just straight out so now I think very little if any is being diverted. The only way to really test it would be to make a standard coil (for ease) with very little wick, basically just enough to get it wet and fire for a little bit. Then you would take a hit and quickly unscrew the cap and lift it off gently to see if any vapor is in the well.
I would think you would see just a little wisp from remaining vapor sinking to the bottom because vapor is heaver than air. If it was really thick in the bottom you would know the vapor is being diverted.
I can't wait to tinker. o_o

I am the same way my friend. I prefer a more conservative vape.. especially in public or driving haha might cause an accident with all that vapor blocking my sight.
And as I thought about it, if some air has gone down it must come up, and would pick up more good stuff along the way.
Quick tip of the day. Close the top cap completely and line up the p on the drip tip with the p on the base. Now you know how many turns you are using to get to your preferred air flow. Since the P on the base is lined up next to one of the negative posts you can also use this to help gauge where your coil is in relation to the top cap.
OMG!! I don't have my P+ Stata yet!!! Wait I have a ton of other damn good attys to hold me over!!!
I always like reading forward thinking ideas but... I don't see the strata as a flavor testing device. I want to fill it full and enjoy a hard hitting tank after a tough day. There is an entire camp of people much like myself that don't drip more often because of shallow tanks and fast burning juice...ok lazy.
The Origen I can deal with because the well is a bit deeper but, I refuse to test juices on a 160.00 dripper much less the Strata. The well size sold me knowing I don't have to add juice every 3-5 draws.
I'll figure out a build swiftly I believe and am looking forward to it this week.
Find a 20.00 used nimbus to taste juices imo

That:s fine and good..but my precise+ is my workhorse, it's my only device (it's the only one I've needed for 3 years now)....it's what my strata is going onto....so when I go to the vape shop and want to sample a new flavor or something...I don't want to carry around the old top cap and a nimbus....
That's why I said optional accessory....
Plus it would provide the opportunity to experiment to see if depth of well affects vapor production at all...

Depth of a well has nothing to do with vapor production. Whether its juice or shims, the existence of some medium is filling space.
The well should not be considered part of the chamber and will not act as one. The properties of vapor, liquid, and solids only act as such. The chamber size and chimney obviously will play a part but, as vacuum is applied no matter the negative vacuum pressure applied will not allow it to travel down. But this law reins, the heated coil creates energy and turns the heated juice into a gas molecules which have more energy to overcome gravity as the cooler air molecules remain stationary(so to speak). Hence the reason when watching a coiled wick vaporizing does this

It should be easy to DIY some sort of shim/insert for the juice well if you want less capacity; perhaps with plastic or some sort of non-toxic non-porous foam. Same concept as making a plastic chamber reducing insert for a standard RBA dripper. I may try this myself at some point.
I use XC-132 for wick which is expensive as far as wicking material goes and can be hard to obtain so I cannot see myself packing the juice well with this material. I found some white, non-treated aquarium filter foam on clearance for about $2 in the pet store that I plan on making an insert for the juice well to hold my juice. I just need to figure out the best way for my wick tails to make contact with the foam to get the most efficient wicking. To go along with my porous, juice holding insert I may try to make myself a non-porous one to block off the juice well for testing flavors.

I think mainly all drozd is trying to say is hed like a spacer so he wouldnt have to waste and clean out a ton of juice when experimenting with different juices.
The first P+ Strata sighting! I can't wait!Strata on P+500:
Not even so much that I'd like one...just if it was possible out of something like delrin...to expand the versatility so that it could be set up as more of a dripper if someone wanted...
I just got a little set on edge by the blow off "get an RDA (Nimbus) to sample stuff" statement..because I came to super T back in the day because I didn't want multiple multiple devices...I wanted one high quality device that was a workhorse that I could take anywhere....
And I have to say I've been more than pleased and haven't felt the need to look for anything more...other people with other devices that have asked me to sample this or that have left me unimpressed or dissatisfied with anything less...
(Not to mention that flavors and nic levels would change on a different device/setup)
I think it's a great idea but doubt it's very feasible. The machining is fairly intricate down in there, you'll see what I mean.
