Precise ELA Telescoping Mod by Super-T!

[Riverboat]

It hasn't been talked about much and i've kept it under wraps. But there is much, much more then meets the eye when it comes to the top cap design. The adjustable draw/air control is a unique approach, never before used in a mod and far different then the first mod to ever had adjustable air, the Super T-1. There are two caps that actually thread over the top cap, one for normal atomizers and tanks and one for adjustable draw. Twist to adjust. Air does not enter through the side, it actually enters through the top of the cap and enters from 360 degrees around the base of the atomizer.

Also, unique is the hybrid adjustable center post. It combines the best of both a fully adjustable center post and the stability of a Press in. What makes it unique also is that no matter how hard you collapse down the tube onto the batteries, none of the pressure is transfered to the center pin of your atomizers. Some threaded type telescoping mods have the problem where as you crank down the tubes onto the battery, that pressure transfers through the center pin and forces the center pin of the atomizer up and it shorts out. This eliminates that problem, while still allowing full adjustability. It also allows you to tighten down your tank or atomizer fully, then adjust the center pin up to make contact. No more unsighlty gaps and movement. Rock solid!!!

Funny thing is, as much as Im looking forward to reciving my Shockwave(Yes I will love it)
Im more excited about getting the ELA... just look at all those features
I know it will be my new daily carry mod....Kicked of course!

Of course? I'm firmly convinced that most people using Kicks are missing out. Not that it's not a good thing that the ELA supports them, but there just ain't nothin' like an unkicked low-resistance coil. And I'm partly saying that 'cuz my 28-gauge wire finally came in and I'm nic'd the hell out and loving it.

I don't know how low you run your coils, but I agree with you. I vape at 1.5-1.7 Ω which makes my Kick pretty much useless with anything but a half-dead battery. With a recently charged battery, I can expect to get around 11-12 watts un-kicked which I much prefer over the Kick's 10 watt max. I personally will NOT be Kicking my ELA unless I blow my 2c fuse and need some kind of protection against shorts.

I like that it has the ability to use The Kick because I'm trying to get into durable self-serviceable hardware that has low recurring costs so will definitely be trying my hand at RBAs shortly but for now I still have a collection of cartos for a tank, some T3s and T2s that would, if kicked, give me a better experience than I have now, as well as the ability to use them up and while out and about which would be welcome.

I like the kik when I use precoiled ceramic drip atty's.

This is more like it.... the Kick is just to keep us busy until this badboy is released!!

Integrated DNA 20 Watt with display good too

I just built my first .9Ω coil with the new wire and oh... my... God. I'd been vaping ~1.5Ω before but now the flavor on my juice is just crazy... though if I recoil all my RBA's I think I'm going to have to go down to 6mg juice soon, and definitely before the ELA shows up.

that sounds awesome..

I made an order because I'm going to immediately place a Genesis atomizer on my ELA with a .9 Ohm 28g wrapped coil, to add to my arsenal of same same...
Can anyone tell me if this is like "plug n play" in my case? Or do I have to adjust things and/or situate these features for my desired use?
I've always been sort of dyslexic or mentaly easily confused when it comes to instructions and diy or techie type of things.

On a genisis atomizer, airflow comes from a hole in the top cap of the atomizer.
The adjustable airflow feature of the ELA will only come into play when using atomizers that draw air from the bottom.

So, no, you will not have to make any adjustments to the ELA's airflow control.

Hi Guys,

Are the current pics of the ELA the final design or is there still some changes to make. I know with all Forced projects they evolve over time (and that what makes super t so intriguing). It looks fantastic as it is but if the knurling on the top cap could be designed to look a little slicker? Just a thought but happy that's why I pre-ordered (couldn't wait for CV9 in the uk to start getting them )

 

[Blix]

To be honest I'm not too stoked by the knurling either, I hope the final version will be prettier... Knurling=bad

 

[Cjax]

That knurling is for function. It's what you grip to lock the 2 tubes together. If it wasn't there you'd run the risk of the mod coming loose at the joint. Still, I kinda' like it.

The thing is that I like to vape at the 10 watt area... so the Kick works for me. Also it gives you the same consistant hit through out the battery charge.... I use to use LR 1.5 ohm attys, no need for them with a Kicked or VV mod...Those LR or Super LR 0.9 coils you build drain the battery fast due to their high amp draw... 10 watt vape/ .9 omh atty =3.33 amps.....10 watt vape/1.5 ohm atty =2.58 amps 10watt vape/3 ohm atty=1.82 amps IMO the vape is much smoother with a HR coil @ the same wattage vs a LR coil... but thats the beauty of the ELA, versatility, to be Kicked or not to be Kicked..........We can all have our cake and eat it too!

 

[Blix]

A 0.9 ohm atty vapes at 15 watts , which a kick can't. No comparison. And the battery doesn't drain that fast.

I was just giving a Amp draw comparison @ the same wattage area...
.9 ohm atty/15 watts=4.08 amps 15 watts thats a hot vape.... Like I said 10 watts is a sweet spot for me, I never go above 12 watts...I know the Kick cant do 12 watts but 10 watts is good until we can get a DNA20 on board.... and yes the higher amp draws do drain the battery faster.....If one can handle a 15 watt vape then more power to them, its to much for me, Im already feeling dizzy just thinking about it...

A 15watt+ vape is no problem, and it's not overly hot or harsh in any way with a genesis atomiser. The thicker 28awg wire most of us doing low resistance use keeps the juice relatively cool. You should try it!

The knurling on the pic was put on by a cheap 30 dollar knurling tool on a manual lathe, hence the cheaper quality, the final parts will be cnc knurled and of perfection.

OK I just might....Of course im going to have to buy some lower nicotine juice...I use 30mg nic and even @ 12 watts I can feel overdosed...

We wouldnt of expected anything less from SuperT

Watts in vaping is a relative term and depends largely on the wire gauge used to wrap the coil. For example... A 2 ohm coil made from 28awg requires a lot more power (watts) to to reach a good vaping temperature than a 2 ohm coil made from 32awg wire.

So... Saying "I like this wattage better than this other wattage" only really applies if you're talking about coils with the same wire gauge.

Excellent. Again... Can't wait to see the final product David.
