How many vapes would you get from 1.5ml?

No clue!

I look at it like this:

I vape about 6ml a day and am awake for about 16 hours. That means I vape about .38 ml per hour. If the Strata holds 1.5 ml of juice then I should get about 4 hours per fill / top off if needed.. That for me = awesome. I have a few of them keychain bottles that might come in handy as well. :)

I use to drip, drip, drip.. Heck back in the day that was all we really could do.. LOL

I have gotten away from dripping for the most part mainly because of the need to constantly have a juice source with you..

The Strata holds about 1.5ml of juice so that is a massive plus in my book..

I love the flavor I get from dripping but hated the need to carry a juice bottle everywhere. The Strata appears to have solved this issue.

I'm with you on that! Back when it was either drip, or those stupid 1st-gen cartos or finicky cartridges.
That's actually how I found Super T back in 2009, got my first 510 and was interested in drip tips. I marveled at his mods and thought "Gee, those are nice but why would anyone want to vape on such a large device.?" Funny that now big-battery mods feel natural while cigalikes feel "wrong".
I will say that there are NO other manufacturers I would have immediately plonked down my cash on a pre-release product as advanced as ELA with second thoughts.
I've never been keen on hybrids either - I always liked mix-and-match. Until Strata... Again, there are NO other manufacturers I would have spent this kind of money on an RBA without hearing some reviews first. I was close to doing it for Ithaka but didn't. I jumped on the pre-order for ELA Strata as soon as I saw it, and will be ordering one for Simplicity as soon as they go up.

Have you tried dripping? I was skeptical at first, but found that it did indeed provide the best flavor I've ever had. I've never tried a steel mesh build, however...

I have, multiple times with different RDA's. I think dripping used to be the most flavorful way to go but then other RBA's caught on as to why: the smaller the size of the chamber generally equals a more flavorful vape. Now other atties like the Kayfun, SQuape, and Taifun GS (the most flavorful atty I own including my drippers) have small chambers and provide outstanding flavor.

My original mod, was a dripper with a slight reserve. Loved the taste. Hated the mod. Dripping was a pain, but that's all I knew. When I received my ELA, I decided to put a Kayfun Lite on top. Taste is good. Now, I'm spoiled by not having to drip drip drip. But, even with the KFL, if I go out for an evening, I still have to take supplies. I always have a second filled KFL, and a fill bottle with me.

Life is funny. I had not drank alcohol in/around thirty years. This past year, I decided to try partying a bit. Dripping with a buz in a dim lit club. :) Filling a KFL with a buz in a dim lit club. :) Makes me laugh!

I learned that real quick. I've bought my share of things based on spectacular user reviews and hype which have disappointed. But with Super-T I've bought things sight unseen based on absolutely nothing which are spectacular and will never leave me. There is little room for debating and financing before you get ShockWaved. I'm sure it's hard for many to understand paying $400 for a Simplicity Ti for example and they never will - it's only after the fact that you go OMG I can't believe I have one of these and there's nothing you can say that people would fathom.

Agree 5,000,000%

Bought the unseen T1 pure quality
Bought the unseen Super Six pure quality
Bought the unseen Ti pure quality

Super T is the only PV maker that I will ever do this with.

I was also a non- dripper for a long time. I just didnt see the point. Take a few spitty puffs and add more liquid, I thought whats the point.

Till I finally got the little Fatty and it was the first time I said, I see what it is to drip. It allows quite a few really nice large full puff of great taste. It also holds enough that Im not constantly dripping. All I can say, when you get a good one, you finally "get it"

THe Stratas advanced design and construction with the capacity of 1.5 mls and being able to take it with you , lay it on its side without the usual dribbles, sounds like a winner. I just really really hope that when David brings out a tank for it, that it will be an add on, not a whole different "beast"

I love tank atomizers for the convenience of long time vaping, and at least with those like Odysseus and Kayfuns no leaks and relatively easy set up.

BTW. I am proudly making clouds with a Kayfun lite. I finally got the opportunity to have one. I kept seeing all of you with them beautifully topping your ELAs and a certain wonderful Super-T fangirls insistence, I am glad I got to experience it.

Looks great! :) Don't know about you, but I couldn't wait to put a Super-T tip on her.

The last dripper I bought and used any was in 2010.Carrying around a bottle of juice and dripping got old quick,carto tanks changed all that.Sure,it gives up some flavor,but makes up for it with consistancy and convenience.1 18650,fill the tank and I was good for all day at work.Genny's gave the flavor back but could be finicky(its worth it tho),kayfun style atties have the best of both worlds,taste and capacity.Imma try the strata because it holds more than a few vapes worth and its super T.

So is the ELA still being made? I heard that after the first batch no more were going to be made. Thanks just too many pages to read thru to get my answer when I am sure some of you know the answer.

It will be a while before david makes any more ELA's(they will be stocked some time in the near future though).After these are all made and sent out,he is moving on to some other projects he said he had.I believe that is what he posted?

Hey aren't you the BBM guy? If so, nice work.

The ELA pre-orders are still being finished and sent out. In the event of a cancellation, they do make their way back out for purchase on the Super-T website, but it doesn't happen very often, and you have to be kind of lucky to catch them when they go back up. Last I heard there will be no more ELA's produced for a while, and if they are they won't be at the introductory price the pre-orders sold at, and would not have some of the components packaged in (like the adjustable draw cap, I think).
