Is there any truth to this thing being raw aluminum and not anodized aluminum which could cause etching/bleeding?

Or is just a rumor out there?

I'm hoping my noble 1 arrives today in the mail...either way it's not going on the classifieds because the juice I use does not react with anything I'm aware of, it's just a tobacco vape.

The section that holds the juice doesn't look anodized. I would like to think that VaporCraze/310 wouldn't put something out with a material that would harm us.

I will admit this is my first "high end" set up and my first giant jump into atty building. I need to go purchase mesh and wire for this baby, now that I have received it in the mail, would anyone have a suggestion for size on either for a nice middling set up?

Excited to get into the thick of things
Green!

For my wick I use 500mesh and cut at about a 1.5 inch square. Roll that nice and tight around a paper clip and oxodize/clean thoroughly. Then a 3/4 wrap of 30awg kanthal nice and tight around a wick-hole sized drill bit. Efficient method that takes minimal tweaking to get working properly. And clouds! Nice cool vape!

Same here. Petar K method, I believe. :)

I really wanted one of these but like every other Hybrid it was sold out. I was luckily able to get my hands on the Hungarian made Moon G1. It is black anodized aluminum with a 3.7ml plexiglass removable tank section. I have nothing to compare it to since this is my first Genesis Hybrid APV but I love it. I am hoping to eventually get my hands on the Noble1 also. For now I am happy with the G1 that only cost me a little over $100.View attachment 189937

My noble 1 has a small leak onto the battery. Does anyone know if I can fix this myself and if so how?

You should have 2 orings at each end of the positive pin. Check the bottom nut on the top section of the atomizer to make sure its tight enough.

is the atomizer aluminum?
isn't aluminum oxide toxic?
You mean like with Kanthal?

Kanthal FeCrAl alloy forms a protective layer of aluminum oxide. Aluminium oxide is an electrical insulator but has a relatively high thermal conductivity; special techniques may be required to make good electrical connections.

First impressions video on the Noble 1. There isn't much out there in terms of reviews so I took mine to JC West today and ended up doing a trade so he would feel more comfortable about reviewing it, didn't want to review something that wasn't his per say.

Anyways, tossing this up for anyone who is looking for other reviews/opinions on the Noble 1.

Yeah, I just picked 1 up last night from 310,i was sold on the supposedly warm vape it is supposed to give and the fact that that it is said to not be leaky due to the counter sunk air hole and fill hole, so we'll c how it goes. I must say though, I am definitely excited to try it out, the only thing I'm kinda meh in is just the fact that it is made out of aluminum and I just am wondering how fast it will show scratches and wear, but for as hard as it hits and if hopefully there will be some other size tubes made, like the 18490 tube, I don't think u can beat this hybrid for the price.

I have a few aluminum mods and I must say I like aluminum. True, they pick up hairline scratches easily, but that soft metal also makes it easier to remove those scratches. Main selling point for me is putting it in my shirt pocket with sagging the pocket. Cant wait for them to release the 18650 tubes for versatility.

Yeah, no doubt that this will finally be a hybrid that I think I can take to work with me!! SS is just so heavy and in ur pocket it just weighs u down, especially if ur on ur feet all day long. So I am definitely going to appreciate the mobility factory if this pv.
