An atomizers maximum airflow is based on the atomizers air inlet hole size, not by the adjustable draw. A properly designed adjustable draw will flow enough to meet the maximum flow of the atomizer and allow you to adjust down from there. It can not take an atomizer that is already tight in exposed normal mode and add more air to it, no, you'd need to literally drill out the two tiny holes above the thread of your atomizer to allow more air in. Adjustable draw is more suited for airy to regular draw atomizers that you want to fine tune.

It's a tricky situation, since the air flow of an atomizer is relatively so small, just cracking open even the smallest of air inlet on an adjustable draw usually flows more then what the atomizers air inlet holes can flow, so you just go from little to no draw, to "normal" draw and nothing in between. You will like our design. It works well
Having read the posts above regarding airflow, made me think that maybe I can just make the air intake holes on the center post of my Odysseus, just a tad larger to the point its almost too much, than I can dial it in to perfection with the air adjustment on the ELA? I think I might try this on one to experiment once the ELA gets here. I have 2 Odysseus and one extra base.
Which now brings me to another question. I have the Odysseus atomizers, which are highly polished. I also have the spare brushed finished terminator parts ( tank body, top cap) If I wanted to refinish the extra base to match is it possible to do it myself? Can it be hand brushed or do I need to use a particular tool, like a dremel and what dremel tool do you use to do this?
The adjustable air on the ELA will let me slap on a carto tank flat and allow air flow into it? Usually for a carto tank unless it has drilled channels will not get air when down flat on a PV. Im hoping this will be the answer to the "gap" one usually get because of this with cartomizer tanks.

Dremel's can definitely get the job done at home. can probably attain the brushed finish with just a wire brush bit. I have a sanding a polishing set that I use to go the polished route. So you'd only need pretty much just one bit to go from polished to brushed, but many steps and bits for going from brushed/raw/satin to polished.
Other than that, maybe you can befriend a mechanic or a machinist nearby who might be able to make quick work of it.

I just got done a couple of weeks ago doing a brushed finish on an AGA-T and AGA-S using a Dremel and those wheels that look like scotchbrite... came out pretty nice.
Oh yeah forgot about those Dremel 511E wheels! I use those for polishing... didn't even put it together that its actually for sanding!
I've ordered mine on Saturday! Order Number: 14982
Pretty excited about it. Can't wait!
Edit: Had the ELA page bookmarked, and just saw the message on the front page about the maintenance.

That rumor is exactly that. The website is under construction, which would explain the wackiness.
Rest assured, I'm positive they have your order and you will be in line like the rest of us to get our ELA's!
Precise ELA Tidbit: The extension tube on the front page of this thread, with its sparkly finish, is not what the final finish will be. That was beadblasted aluminum prototype, which is obviously not what the final stainless steel finish will be.
The finish type and color of the stainless steel extension will be as pictured below and is what will partially show when you extend it out to 18650 mode. It contrasts well with both the polished and satin finish of the main body:

The machined in ribbed texture is to increase the scratch resistance of the part as it slides in and out.
You know.... I really love this mod because its the only one I've come across to date that draws a very fine line between form and function. It doesn't seem lenient in one way or another, but a wonderful meeting right in between. God, I can't wait to get this!
EDIT: I don't think anyone has ever put this much thought into a mod from all aspects. It seems as though you; David, have paid attention to ALL the fine details from form all the way through its function(s)!

Also note the venting, which is on the top cap end and concealed under the Accent ring, which has a corresponding relief machined under it to allow venting gases to escape. Not to mention, by design, the entire mod is one big vent as this design isn't screwed together, so vents really aren't necessary, but at least we got to use the mill feature of the lathe...lol.

I know! The more I learn I find my self praying it's not going to be sold at a loss (again)!
Nah, with production in house, it'll drive their cost down to more manageable (and profitable) numbers. Paying a third party always adds cost along with a pinch of headache.
