I'm not sure when I became obsessed with shiny but here it is. Super-T polished has an ever so slight brushed finish to it so it's resistant to fingerprints. Pretty excited about this mod!

Very cool! I get to use Metsmafia's great phrase in a sentence again! I love 'David's unique interpretation of the word polished.'.

My best friend has a machine shop. I told him, from here on out, everything he makes me needs to be finished as 'Super-T' polished.

When I got the ELA and saw the ring I immediately thought "I'm not touching that. I'll jack it up for sure."

Wait a miniute, this is from the same guy who took apart his Shockwave switch? On camera, for all to see? I just watched that video again the other day after your comments regarding the soldering (i.e., that the switch wires don't have to be soldered to the SW itself). Very nice video.

In all seriousness, the difference for me between operating the locking ring before and after a good cleaning is night and day. A couple times, I have discovered a thick layer of crud right in the groove where the ring sits, and it's difficult to get it out without removing the ring. Hell, the way I see it, especially with spare rings becoming available, it doesn't hurt to have some practice removing and inserting the ring before the new ones arrive.

Same here happy days.. ;) Does anyone know how long it take to reach UK shores?

I've ordered 5 or 6 different time from Cloud 9 ( a Super T distributor ) and it's taken about a week to my door....

I've mailed items to England that took about the same amount of time a few different times..

You can usually track the package via your country's postal system one it arrives there. Just use the USPS tracking # you get from David.

Or use something like track-trace.com

Hiya Chris

I just checked the tracking details for a recent Super T order and it went something like this

September 24, 2013 ACCEPT OR PICKUP
October 4, 2013 DELIVERED

It sat in customs for about 4 or 5 days though

Hope that helps :)

On the fence so far if I want to keep the ELA or not..

I like it, just not sure yet.

Give it time, it will grow on you

I have had a lot of high end mods go through my hands since getting my first ELA, and I always compare the quality, and how it makes me feel. I will tell you that I have moved most of them on and ordered a second ELA.

Get to know him or her, use all the features, use all battery lengths. It took me a while :p

The ELA did not have to grow on me. For me, it was love at first vape. :)

It's not a build quality issue as this is without a doubt pure Super T quality!

I hazz a few Q's if I may.

1) The o-ring inside the tube that the battery sits on top of comes out every time I change batteries. Is there a fix for this? I got the ELA 2nd hand so there is no guarantee that it came with all the o-rings needed.

2) The locking button is killing me! Trying to lock that thing while driving and / or without looking is just about impossible..

That's really my only 2 issues at this point.

I might email Super T and see if I can 'beg' for a set of ELA o-rings or at least get the sizes of them all so I can order them up..

My first high end mod was the P+18500, as I wanted something a little more special than the starter kits, and my second was the ELA, and my first thought was, why have I spent so much money on this mod.

Now I know why, it was such a good investment.

I love mine :wub:
