I've used the Phoenix rba, and should have the review done this week. I will get with Danno, and see if yours are any different. Do you have any pics of yours, so I can compare?
I've used the CE9, but opted not to review it.
All this rebuildable stuff!!! Oh man, oh man, oh man!!!! I'm not sure what to order now. I was about to place an order for the CE9 tank system, but seeing that video makes me want that. And now you say you have another rebuildable going up!!! I am going to blow my budget and not have any money left for juice!Y'all are killing me here! I love it!!!!
All this is just a GV maneuver to get everyone to forget about the Raven. Works good for me. You guys buy all this stuff and there will be mucho Ravens left for me.
I'm out the door now to see if I can pick up some cotton wick material from the craft store. I have my mind set on trying a cotton wick. Recoiled a Stardust last night and it's working awesome. The only issue is I went through the full tank in about 10 minutes. Maybe if I switch it to cotton I can get that down to 5 or 6 minutes.
CE9 Question?
This style of device is new to me. So the juice goes into the clear plastic piece and drips on to the atty below? What controls the flow of the juice? Just the size of the hole in the bottom of the plastic tank?
One thing I dont like is having all stainless plated parts, except the thing that holds the juice.
Which reminds me I would love to see Vivi Nova stainless tubes with Pyrex windows to see the juice level.

Reading this made me wonder of I can mod my gas grill, use a cookie sheet with pin holes in it, fill the tray with juice, it would drip into the flames creating vapor, I could just fire it up in my living room, then vape hands free.

Oh no ya don't Wally!
I held out enough for my ravens when they finally land Sure you can. Just make sure the holes are big enough if you are using a mainly VG marinade.
Short Review..Apollo 900mAh Silver Battery.
My Apollo shipped fast. Ordered late Friday (couldn't make up my mind what color lol) and arrived Tuesday. At first I had trouble with the button sticking and was Oh nooo'ing about it.. it's fine now. It had happened again after I left it unused for a few hours yesterday but I've been using it every since then and button and whole battery..works like a charm. I really like it. I think the silver with the LEDs looks very pretty. Husband keeps wanting to run off with it. No way. This is a keeper..for me only. I've used various tanks and cartos...everything I've tried on it vapes very well. So yes this I'd love another one of.. the elusive purple!
I also purchased the tank to go with but have not fired that up yet. Maybe later today.
The Scorpion tanks that I've used so far have not had trouble with leaking. I've been using two for a week or so each. So very happy with those as well. And I'm still loving the SOLE. Very much. Seems to have such a clear flavor, I think that's what I'm liking so much about it. Earlier I had a very hard time getting that lid off.. it did not want to come off. But just now got it, filled it up a bit more and off I go again.
So..I haven't come across any problems with any of my Alpha purchases yet. Great stuff! Thanks!

I may be mistaken but I think the principal is kinda capillary action like. As the juice down below gets used more moves down to take its place controlled by the wetness of the coil. I never cared for the older setups, tried them all. Always got the intermittent killer dry hit. Anyway I thought I would give this a try. Who knows, may be much better. Besides it's got the magic word. "rebuildable"
I actually had a pretty good experience with the old eGo-T. Never tried the C and the 510-T was horrific, though I still use the auto batteries from it so that was worth the $$. I recall that it was kind of bad to flood from time to time. Juice got in the top of the mouthpiece, too. Or maybe it's just condensation, I dunno.
It should work much like the iMist, where the wick being full of liquid, is what stops the tank from leaking more juice. As the wicks dries, more juice flows in. It works well on the iMist, and I can see it working well here too.
Begin stalking the post office. I placed my first order this morning and couldn't be more excited... unless that is I find something else that I should have put in the same box
On it's way the Sole elipse and the Rebuildable 5 piece tank (which I'm hoping I can make a more multipurpose device with some fiddling), and the precious little passthrough no longer to be named firecracker.

I picked up some SOLE devices, and have been giving them away to smokers. It's produces a decent vapor, is inexpensive, and requires little fiddling. What a great little product to get someone who is still on-the-fence!
or you could thread a wick up through the hole like a sapphire bud carto or something similar ... there's lots of potential here... i wonder if you could shorten one of the posts to allow for a vertical coil instead of horizontal then you could even use ss mesh with no problem
I don't think we decided yet - have we?.. Me, I still like the GV Meerkat. C'mon, guys, it's perfect!
I mean, I can see how an acorn is too tame and pastoral - but Meerkats are totally cool, and have an attitude 10 times their size. And the tail, you can't forget the tail! 
But I like MiGO too - if I could only remember what the M stands for...

The M stands for Meerkat.

THE SOLE WRAP-UP:
I totally agree. With the right price, this little thing is the cat's mrrrrrr. Cute, comfortable, easy to use (I haven't had to do anything other than fill and vape), great flavor, decent vapor. Fantastic starter device. I think one other thing that makes it great for someone trying to get off the analogs is that it both does and does not look and feel like a cig. It's light and small, and you can even hang it from your lip without breaking your teeth or bruising your lips, so it feels sort of like a cig (an auto version would be even more so - are there auto versions? I'd get one...). On the other hand, it doesn't look like a cig, not at all. No-one looking at it would confuse it with a cig, so that's a definite plus.
I can't really add or change anything from my first impressions. On the personal side, I'd prefer a tighter draw, just a slightly bigger size, and slightly higher res, but that's nothing to do with the quality or functionality of the device, it's just my personal preference.
I guess it would be cool if it was metal, with a lid, and no glue on the carto - but then it would cost twice as much, probably. It's fantastic for what it is.
The only heads-up is the charger. Frankly, the charger sucks. I've been using it with the iTaste charger, and that works very well - great as a pass-through.
Hey - do we get to name that too? Please? Or are we stuck with Sole?
P.S. Need to include directions or have a vid or something on how to clean it. Meaning, the alcohol rather than water rinse... I still think it will never dry if washed with water... If anyone found it not so, please let me know, all I got is cheap vodka, and that doesn't quite evaporate as well...

Actually, that's how the iTaste works. The wick is at the bottom of the hole. With this, the wick kind of sits below.
I wouldn't do vertical mesh with this, only horizontal. You could use a small amount of wick on the top of the mesh to control the liquid flow, and use the mesh for everything else. Hmmm...
Wish I still had one. - Status
