So I got my thump and as promised, here's my initial impression:
The packaging is very nice, comes with two extra allen keys and 4 extra grub screws. I didn't expect this so it was a nice addition. The build quality outstanding; I would put money on it that this was made in America. It really feels like a $85 atty. Not a single scratch or burr to be found. I also think they cleaned it really well; it kinda smelled like fresh linen.
Building on this is super easy as expected from a 4 hole center block design. The holes look quite large, probably large enough for some fused claptons. The deck is small but not painfully small. I had a harder time fitting a large build into the hastur than I did with this.
To start off, I tried a dual 24g N60 3mm at ~0.24 ohms. The vape is very warm but for some reason a lot more pleasant than the derringer. I never liked anything lower than 0.35 ohms on my derringer because it was unbearably hot. The atomizer does get as hot as a derringer with this sort of build in it but actual vape is perfectly warm and dense. You really want a delrin drip tip with this if you're going to build this low and chain vape. It's almost like I don't want to build any higher though because the vape temperature is almost perfect.
As for flavor, I would say it is like a warmer Marquis. Big, bold, warm and dense. The airflow feels really nice, very similar to my Aeolus. I will need more time with it before I can rank it with all my other flavor atties but right now, I think this sits above the Marquis but still under the Origen. Probably on par with the Aeolus though. I'll get some claptons in here soon and we'll how she really vapes!
