This came in the vape mail today (kayfun Lite). If only I had my ELA to attach it to. Alas, I am order # 16464. This will be sitting in a drawer for a long while yet.

P.S. I'll be sure to include a toe when I have the whole unit assembled.

Well I'm pretty bummed! I was using me ELA with a cheapie v5 dripper while I save up for a more suitable topper and when I took it off today I noticed it left a nice circular scratch on the top cap beauty ring and some sort of stain on the raised center of the top cap. It really sucks cause if you knew how much I've been babying this thing compared to, oh, every other mod I've ever owned! Chinese QC strikes again! Now more than ever I'm waiting for a true Super-T topper so I can ditch the top cap all together. Once I get my new atty it'll stay put till then, though. And with anything bigger than 19mm you don't even see the marks, just sucks cause I know they're there. I'd take a pic, but it might not even show up. It's really more my neuroses than anything else, just wish I could keep something blem-free for longer than a few weeks! (Honestly it's kind of amazing it took me that long!)

I'm the same way, the 1st little ding I get on anything and I get all worked up. I'm sure you could polish out the scratch, and probably take care of the stain at the same time. Don't let it get to you, sooner or later the scratches and dings will come, it's impossible to avoid if you use it as intended.

Waiting for my second ELA in first batch #15203... polished...haven't heard a thing yet. but i'm thinking its on its way....

I've gone from "like" to "love' on my Satin ELA (brass accents)... chic-techno....


There is so much to love on these ELA's... i have a feeling they will be around a lot longer than most mech devices.

I use all my attys on them, and find the lightness of a Titanium Art of Exhale atty is a great match for ELA's muscle.

Hopefully it will be sooner since David said he only has 5 left in the first batch. Should hear more about it soon (today/tonight) from David.

I think he meant 5 left in the group he was working on...

Number wise, i still have 5 left on the last batch i printed labels up for

I read that as meaning he printed up a bunch of labels for the week and has been working on them, not that he has 5 left for the first batch. I could be wrong though. I think batch 1 runs up to 15288 or something and ukeman (#15203) hasn't heard anything yet.

May have asked you before Ukeman but did you have any scratches on any of your Art of Exhale gear? I received the crystal with some on it. I have a Hydra 2 in the mail and i am a bit worried.

No scratches ... i have 5 ... hmm.. isn't the Crystal the clear one? Like blue glass or poly Genesis?

I didn't get that because I wasn't in the mood for Genesis attys... I ordered the Hydra2 because it was AoE and available for list sign up at the time; my first one.
Gad I am so glad; its my favorite Geni now.
Smallish; 18 or 19 mm, light as a feather; glass tank with protector w/windows.
Titanium at that level is so thin, it almost looked and felt cheap like tin LOL.... but wow.
I put a PC2000 with a hot wrap (first time) and after a day of breaking in (28g 3/4 wrap about .7+ Ohms) it is the best Genesis vaping.
You hear that t/h vapor is a product of the coil/wick setup... i know, but for some reason this baby tops everything Genesis I've tried up to now.
(and that's with constantly working my-up-to-now best; the DID)]
Let me know how you like it.
