If you don't have fb-account, e-savuke.com forum provides at least lot of pictures and the modder is very active there. With google translate you may even understand some of the discussion, lol.

And it's here!

Only been using it for a few minutes, but a few first impressions. Absolutely brilliant. Super easy to set up with the thumb screws. I was afraid that the posts were in a bad position to be able to put a decent sized coil in, but it wasn't at all. It feels much sturdier than I thought. It does have an airy draw, which I had heard from others, but personally I don't have any problem with it. But to be fair I am not very picky about how airy or tight anything ever is. I just don't have much of a preference either way. But most importantly it vapes like crazy! First coil I put in, no clue on the ohms because my multimeter decided to lose it's mind just when I needed it. But no matter, just excellent performance immediately.

A few problems: I think the mouthpiece is too short. It obviously gets longer as you open the juice control, so it's not too horrible, but I definitely would have preferred it longer. But the biggest problem is a crunchy button. I've only been using it like half an hour, and it already seems to have worked itself out a bit, but still far from ideal. I don't know if it's just mine or not, but it was mentioned in the preview video. If it doesn't get better I may try filling down the plastic as was mentioned. I don't see how to disassemble the button, but I have seen pictures of it disassembled, so it must be possible.

I am using AW IMR's.

I took the button apart and discovered the problem. There's a post on the very bottom that catches on the edges of a hole. If I spin the bottom around there are spots that do or do not grind together. I'm going to get some really fine sand paper and sand it down just a bit.

Funny thing is that I swear one day I was thinking to myself, "someone should make a silica hybrid." And I thought it should be like a GG atomizer but without the need for NR wire (the only thing I dislike about GG.) And while they're at it not use a ceramic so there would be one less thing to break. Next day I saw this on Facebook and was like "OMG! They read my mind!" The only thing different from what I imagined is that they came up with large thumb screws that are super easy too use. No tools needed.

This thing really is still working awesome, minus my crunchy button, but that seems to mostly just be mine. The modder Veljon was recently saying they are working on a second batch. As well as a version with a glass tank and an aluminum 18350 tube, and various other parts. I will post any info here if anyone is interested.

I just watched Scott's review. I'd love to find a seperate rba that sets up like this without it being attached to a device. I'm not interested in trying to twist together R-NR-R wire like the penny or oddy. this build looks super easy but I don't want a hybrid.

This one is not attached. Looks like they could make a 510 connector cap for this fairly easily. That would make it a must have for me.
