Well, first the vaping results.
Fantastic! I liked the original Engine, this one has all the improvements I wanted on the original.
The fill is much nicer, I won't have to keep a vaper towel handy with the 'catch lip' this has. I agree that the cage won't be missed.
Flavor is excellent, better than my Pluses and Supremes.
On to the wicking. Easy peasy compared again to the Steam Crave tanks I have been using.
Coil? Now that's a different story. This is the first tank that my lovely coil assistant tried to Craigslist.
I use single wire 27 gauge coils. This tank wanted 5 spaced wraps. The insertion, capture, and alignment took, oh, about an eternity.
Now, you'd think "You're an idiot!". On the surface, I couldn't argue the point. However, I have an idea that bending the wire to kind of keep it in place will do wonders for "Oops, slipped out" errors. The single wire is always going to be hard to capture on this deck, you just have to find a way to keep it in place while tightening. Luckily, having 4 hands helps in this. I replaced the biggest problem, the Phillips head screws. Once I put M2.5x3 SS hex grub screws in, the process went MUCH faster.
Finally, I left a VERY tiny stub of leg at the top of the deck. When I put it back together, the mod read resistance, just about 30% of what it should have been. A quick unscrew and I knew what the problem was. Clip the legs absolutely flush.
I'll also say that my usual 3.5mm ID is nearly too big to get the right position for the airflow. I'm going to do 3mm tomorrow and see if I like it as much. As I said, right now, with a couple of hours vaping, this is the tank to beat for me.
@Rixsta Thanks for the coil tips! I likely wouldn't have been successful without them.
