Pardon me for not acknowledging your photo of this truly epic setup sooner! Between the pictures that you and Vaptamist have posted on this thread, I'm really starting to reconsider my compulsion to polish up every mod I get my hands on (the only ones I have left that haven't been refinished to a mirror polish by now are my matte black Provari and my Zenesis AYS)! And what's worse, now itching to add at least 2 more Precise+s to my collection, one to keep in the stock media blasted finish, and one in that slick machined finish. Im signed up on the HF list for 2 Megas and another Mini, which to me means that I'll be in need another flat top P+ for a Mega (probably an 18500), which after seeing Vaptamist's pics of his, I'd just have to send out to get media blasted, and then a machined finish slant top P+18350 for the Mini, which would also look great in the same 2-tone finish you have on yours, especially if I could refinish a few small accents on the HF to carry the same design motif into the atomizer!
But come on Aftrmth, you're killing me here buddy! I dying to see this triple coil setup you've been talking about! I'm always pushing and pushing my devices to get the absolute most current running through em, and a triple coil HF has to take the cake (all that I can think about is how I'd manage to roll up a tripod wick for it...).
Since discovering the possibility of running a dual coil/dual wick setup in a genesis atomizer about a year ago (with the Orion v1.0), I've been experimenting and tinkering with getting such a device to operate properly, which meant satiating the ariflow needs of both coils, while still being able to preserve the potentially ungodly TH. So what I did for my HF mini is that I asked my buddy Urquidez to machine a handful of custom top caps for me, of which some had 2 airholes drilled, both facing direclty over each coil. Before I was lucky enough to have those caps, I could never get a dual coil installed that was pleasant to vape on, as either one coil got virtually no airflow, or the airflow was split between both coils by centering the AH directly between them, facing the center post, which screwed up the flow dynamics and vaped like a jacked up Katana v2 before you rotated the teflon insert. With that being said, I'm really curious to hear what you have to say about the triple coil, and how you've managed to remedy my single airhole/multiple coil conundrum. Currently, the dual airhole/dual coil setup I have installed works great (meters in at exactly 1.0Ω, with 4 wraps of 32g per coil), so I can only imagine how something similar but with THREE airholes would perform...Even if they were all only 0.8mm, the thing would still chug like no other, not to mention it'd spit out some truly filling-melting throat hit. And to tie it all back to SuperT, bc I totally went off on a superfluous tangent there, I think they hit the nail right on the head with their plans for the strata (at least from what we heard a month or so back, I'm not quite up to date on that thread unfortunately) by incorporating numerous tiny airholes around the outer circumference of the vapor chamber!
To be honest, I really wasn't into the P+ line AT ALL until I really got into genesis atomizers! Hell, I sold the first P+ I had literally 6 days after getting it! But now that I've done a bit more research on the rhodium contacts and have found atomizers with easily adjustable center pins that don't require any gaps at the connection to allow for airflow, I've really come around on the P+ and can say that they're undoubtedly one of my favorite mechanical mods out there. I still don't love that you can't adjust the center pin, but I now understand why it is the way it is. The line is called the "Precise" for a reason, by implementing an adjustable center pin, you'd end up sacrificing the truly masterful precision of switch as a whole, its throw, how perfectly batteries fit, and how perfectly the lock was planned out, which would be a serious waste, especially if it was all for someone like myself who'd only want to adjust the center pin for purely aesthetic reasons xD

HOLY HELL THAT WAS A WALL OF TEXT! But I guess I just wrote out exactly what I'll be covering in my review of the P+! Going to do a joint review on the P+16340 and the P+18650, as they both just pair so nicely with Mini DID and Standard DID! If anyone has anything noteworthy that might not be common knowledge about the device that further makes it stand out against the crowd of mechanical mods, please shoot me a PM :D

Good morning Rwechsler! Thank you for taking the time to post up your impressions, it really does help others out who may have questions about the P+!

yikes! i almost ditched my vmod in favor of my p+ so i could save up for the strata, only a few weeks after having it. learned my lesson with that when i dented my p+ and all i had was my vmod.
since then i've had less impulsive feelings over the apvs i do own. :p

Dang, you must have dented it good. Battery will no longer go in?

it's all better now thanks to the awesome warranty and customer care. :p
it actually wasn't all that bad. i happened to drop it when the atomizer cap was off while attempting to change the battery. it lives up to it's name, because any slight dent to the tube while either cap is off won't allow it to be articulated again.
my similarly clumsy friend made the same mistake, and her p+ fell onto a wood laminate floor from a desk. the body tube was slightly dented on one side, and the atomizer cap wouldn't screw on. she was talking about attempting to fix it herself so i took the liberty of sending it off for her. plus, since i had done it recently i knew the drill.
that being said, when fully assembled these things are pretty much indestructable.

Hey vaptamist, where did you get your Penelope blasted like that? What did it cost ya?

Heya! I sent it off to Cuseguy at Vaperfexion. He makes the Reactor atomizer tanks, and Cartomator cartomizer tanks that fit with the Precise+ so well. He charges 22$ including the return shipping.

He loves the Precise+ so he really puts a lot of pride and care in the refinishing he does.

Thanks! Couple questions:

The logo looks a little bit faded in your pics, does it still look good in person?

How does the blasted finish on the mouthpiece feel?

Does it make the mouthpiece harder to turn against the o-ring?

I think the logo looks good in person - it is definitely not as "gouged" anymore because the refinishing smooted it out some. It's not as dark, but I think it looks good as a darker grey to match with the satin finish, instead of almost black.

I think the blasted finish feels great - but then I love Satin T-Tips too. When I got it done, Cuseguy offered to "fade" the satin finish back to polished if I was worried about it feeling rough, so there is that option.

I haven't had any difficulty turning the mouthpiece. Hope this helps!
