...However, I can only relate to it - but cannot discuss in depth b'coz I don't have a retail unit, yet. Once I receive mine - I'd make a video for you all.
Hooray! My package has landed today morning and it has been cleared by customs just now.
It should be at my door Monday morning :)

Ps: So, you should expect couple of new URBA videos next week. I'll do one for 'replacing the ss tank with PMMA one' and one for 'easy wicking'. Anything else you guys are interested in?

I think I finally got it wicked properly. I had a sheet of kgd lying around and thought I might be able to gauge the size better. Then just to be safe I used a long syringe to make sure nothing was blocking the fill hole on the inside. Seems to be working just fine now.

I just put my plastic tank on and I'm getting steady ohm and I can actually see my wick:w00t: What I noticed with my wick was kind of folded up towards the bottom not even touching the bottom.:ohmy: I guess I was in the practice of treating it like a genny and giving it the genny tilt so the juice could hit the wick :) :thumb: I think I'm going to put the steel tank back on it tho:) It took like 5 min to change out the metal for plastic btw. It's not super duper easy but it's far from hard. :laugh::laugh::laugh: Vape on! :rickroll::rickroll:

Action shot. Well INaction shot.

Threw a quick .65 ohm build (24g, 3mm ID, wicked with rayon) in and it's vaping nicely. I couldn't get the atty to screw down flush on my SX Mini S Class but as you can see it's sitting flush on the M Class. There was some slight resistance while screwing it down on the M Class but I was able to work through it without much force. Plenty of airflow and good flavor.

I really enjoy the bigger tolerances Petar has :) I tried them on everything I owned and it worked perfectly. I screwed it on my Taifun GT atomizer stand and it had a slight bit of resistance but threaded on like butter. The only problem is when I took it off it un-threaded the PMMA tank right along with it:ohmy: So, I lost some juice but it gave me the excuse to break it all down clean it and really learn what it does. I put it back together and put my metal tank back on it. I like the metal tank look. For the polished edition I think the PMMA tank would look superb, but for the media blasted finish It doesn't look good IMHO. Oh well :) Oh yeah I almost forgot to mention the metal tank stays on like a tank whilst the PMMA tank may come off with any mod with slight resistance :)

Well, I made a serious attempt to do a mesh U wick, but I couldn't keep one half of the U from kinking.

So I went back to rayon and a 3mm coil this time, and this build is better.

However...what about dual verticals with mesh wicks? Won't be super easy to trap the leads, but I think that might be a great build.

Looking forward to it as I have an idea for an interesting new build (and need to pull it apart anyway because I suspect I've broken off a couple of my wick tails and they are sitting in the bottom of the tank :facepalm:).

I wanna put the PMMA tank on mine but not until the new base comes. I don't want to take it apart more than once. [emoji16]

I'm told that replacement parts have been sent by @petar k to all who asked ~ did everyone receive the confirmation?

Ps.: Was busy over the week, I'll try and put up an URBA video this weekend.

Yep, I received my shipping advice. It will be a while before it makes it to Australia, though.
