So I got mine today and set it up, I guess I will give my impression.
The finish is nice and I didn't actually notice any imperfections until I saw people writing about them, there are a few spots where the color is uneven but the finish type/color hides them well. If I hold the mod in my hand and vape it, there are no what the hell issues aesthetically. Not really a concern for me, I am not going to hold it uner a light and stare at it. The finish on the deck is nice, the cap fits nice and that all seems proper. All in all, nice for the price and it the finish has a nice feel.
Take down and set up is just like an AGA, the insulators and rings seem a bit nicer, better fit. The tank seems like an AGA tank which is fine, it's cheap to replace and this design actually protects it quite a bit. Again, nice for the price and does what it needs to.
Set up...back story...before I ever had an AGA, I had a few cobras, a few Zens, an AC9, a Bliss and a 16mm DID...so when I looked under the cap of an AGA for the first time...I kind of muttered what the hell and put the cap back on. Then I did actually set it up and found it to be a ginormous pita compared to my previous/other high end genny's, eventually I just hated it for that and stopped using it. Now back to the present...this is similar but better. It didn't take me long to get it how I want it, and some of that was looking for the right sized screwdriver, plus no f'ing tiny, stupid nuts on the positive. Grown people hands can use this. It was a standard affair which is a big improvement over the AGA. So again, nice for the price, easy enough to work with.
The vape, only as good as you build it but you knew that. Some people may want a different size air and wick hole but you'll already know that by reading the specs. Bust out your drill if that is the case.
Here's the cliffs/random notes/summary...seems like an upgraded AGA-T2, I mean that in a good way, it's not a zen/cobra/ac9, that's ok too, it's great for the price, it's worth the extra 5-10 dollars over an AGA, I'd probably buy another in a different finish/metal/design, well done Rich.
