Me too. I know people are fond of saying that it's a hefty piece of kit, but the ELA is much smaller and lighter than I imagined. It just feels... solid and secure. Then again, I haven't owned many mechanical mods.

For me too, it was smaller and lighter than I had imagined. But, she feels just right. Solid, compact, but beast. :)

I shall know Monday morning... I will either be pleased with my decision or banging my noodle up against the wall....

So as someone who has been using the ELA for months now I thought I would share some tips that I have come across in my usage. Now I don't know if this information has been shared yet, there are far too many posts to check at this point.. but it wouldn't hurt to be reminded of this.

When you first get your ELA you might think "Man... this isn't hitting as hard as I thought it would..." But do not be afraid! Trust me the ELA hits HARD.. but you must set it up correctly. The telescopic section may make for easy size change and battery replacement.. but it leads to the first problem.. connection tightness.

When i change my batteries i slightly unscrew my top cap, put the battery in and tighten the locking ring like normal.. but then when you tighten down the top cap it makes for a much tighter connection which will be the first step in eliminating voltage drop.

Next you may find yourself unscrewing the firing pin to make sure you get a flush mount and then tightening it finger tight to the 510 connection of your atty. Trust me, you don't have to be THAT gentle with the rhodium.. it's pretty hard. What I do is repeat what I just said.. but then i take the atty off and screw the ELA firing pin in just a bit more so that when i tighten my atty down I feel resistance and then am able to flush it after about a third of a turn. This, again, will tighten the electrical connection and help eliminate voltage drop.

Trust me, these steps make a big difference, and I have found this will help negate the switch shocking you at lower ohms.

Now go forth and vape hard!

Thanks for the tips. Now waiting and waiting and waiting.
This might be the best vaping Christmas I've ever had.
So far waiting on an ELA, a Saber touch midi, a Bronze Provari and a Russian 91%. Forgot the Provari beauty rings.
And the race is ON. Who will be the winner in the long run
ME ME ME ME ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You will like the Saber Touch Midi. I love my ELA and love my Saber Kicked edition. ELA has a lot to offer as far as choices and adjustable parts, but the Saber is simple, tough, it just works. Of course you all know if I had to choose, the ELA wins hands down.

The Saber is a semi-mech , much like the Shockwave, but not built as beautifully and real simple.

There shouldnt be, people have recently received their second ones, and so far no one has mentioned any differences.

So if anyone has noticed any differences Im sure they would mention something.

I should ( hopeffully) get #2 soon, I will definetly share any findings.

This is a great idea.........
