Here's another image of a Chris Mun bell cap:

Looks to be a sub tank and not a mini.

It has the Mini AFC ring.

My experience with the mini ST I got 2 weeks back:
First rushed trials of the 2 OCCs that came with it was a huge disappointment, I figured they were not meant for mouth to lung, regardless of power settings. Hot vape and throat terror, nothing pleasurable and not hint of flavour.
I tried very fast to save the high expectation by dumping the coil in the RBA, which looked very much the same as those in the OCCs, and rebuilt it to my custom coil> 28 gauge 2.4mm drill 8-9 tight wraps, threaded it with cotton and... WoW!!! high expectations exceeded! but... with the blast of extended flavour was a hint of machine oil.
Empty the beast to wash/ cleans it.
2nd disappointment: not easy to clean, inaccessible inner air tank section and too many complicated components /seals to clean. 1st clean, reassembly> machine oil hint still there. Completely disassembled the RBA to rub it with alcohol, and that did it.

With my expectation exceeded, I had some patience to rebuild the OCCs. Not my definition of easy to do in a few minutes, and the various outcomes of a few struggles were not pleasurable at all. I quit trying, the RBA flavour was already more than I could ask for.
This clearo makes one feel enabled to taste each individual components of the ejuice vaped. I should try vaping red wine :)

The 2nd disappointment for what initially appeared to be a not easy to wash/ cleans clearo later also vanished, further to a few refills/ re-wick. I noticed the juice compartment never gunked, the juice always staying its fresh initial colour, so that bit never needs to be taken apart and washed with every re-wick, as I previously had to do with the Kayfun type clearos. The only maintenance required with each re-wick is a wash of the RBA section, and dub drying the inner air tank with ear buds. Loads faster to do than with Kayfuns.

I figured that the juice compartment staying clean had to do with the larger air intake not causing an under pressure pulling too much of the juice at each draw, and letting part of that + gunk being sucked back in the tank after the draw.

Also, this tank can be filled to the max, you don't need to keep an amount of air on top of the juice to avoid the burning taste, as was recommended for Kayfuns.

Impressed!!!

29.99 shipped - they ship super fast Vape Super Saver

Indeed they do. I ordered one today and not even 45mins later a shipping label had been created. Granted that's not the same as it being shipped out but as long as they don't print a label and then let it sit there for a couple days like VapeNW did then that's pretty good. Especially for free shipping.

I've ordered three times from them. Each time they print the shipping label right away and USPS shows it at the post office that same day - and I get it two days later :)

Hopefully I have similar luck. I placed my order around 9:30 this morning and 12 hours later it still only shows that a label was printed but no other info. Maybe it'll just be a delay from usps in updating their site which does happen. They're based in Georgia and I'm in Vegas so we'll see how quickly it gets here. Don't wanna get it past the weekend cutoff point and have to wait till Mon.

All O-rings are present and accounted for. My juice is 50/50.

I'm way behind on this thread but noticing your troubles. When I first got the STm, I had all kinds of troubles, dry hits, burnt hits, flooding. When the dry or burnt hits happened I would put my finger over the intake and give it a couple hard pulls. Too many hard pulls drew the juice into the intake section. Just made a heck of a mess. I'd pull it down when I got home, rinse it all out with hot water, blow the parts out, use some strips of paper towel to go down inside the air chamber and wick out any water. Dry everything else make a new wick and all would be good until I screwed up again. IMO the STm has a definite learning curve.

I just compared my old to my new STm. I didn't notice the larger slot of the new one. So after seeing the comparison I compared my two. And yeah there is a difference, the new one has a better flow.
One would think that, but it seems the holes on the base were being bottlenecked slightly by the older base. There is a noticeable difference in draw on the new base, it is more airy.

Think I may have another VapeNW situation here as 1 1/2 days later and it still hasn't shipped. Looking doubtful to get it by this weekend. Grr.
