I think that if you direct-drip mostly; which I do, then the SBL or SLB (dont remember; the one with the 'ring'...) 901 LR is the best choice for 'on the go'. I mean, I do love my bottom-feeder mod (which I can use with many different atties succesfully...So wouldnt need a 'special atty's choice' here...), and plan to get a cool juice-box soon, nevertheless, form-factor makes this a bit uncomfy in certain situtations, where direct-dripping my eGo or similar ends up being 'easier'... And here, IMHO, it is where this 901 SHINES; it is obiously not as good as other LRs out there: a 510 hitting-wise, or a 306 (specially CISCO which is heaven...), but it is a PERFECT CHOICE for even though it is not perfect in many aspects such as other attys, it DOES provide a decent TH; good flavor; the rate of liquid consumption is good; the wicking-properties are very good; it translates into a great performance, consistency-wise; and if you go through its easy and all-natural learning curve, it is unlikely to flood or clogg... It is leaking-likely, but if you keep a nice rythm, the cone of the eGo set up will make this a no-problem...
So, bottom line being: Despite many other atties being 'the stars' out there and beating this atty when it comes to specific details or overall performance, this little atty will STAND TALL, for it is in its GENERAL performance that it makes up for it eventual minor weaknesses... Meaning: It may have some down-sides, but no aspect will be as bad as to dismiss this atty as the ULTIMATE choice for the 'outdoor dripper', so to speak... Because it may be JUST a 7 out of 10 in every aspect and NEVER a 10, but then again NEVER less than a 7, and any other atty out there will get MORE but also LESS points in many aspects if we consider as many as possible, and the 901 here will be a winner.
To illustrate this I may say that for instance, I prefer a 510 (Im all about TH...) but if Im at home...For the little 901 ....... will beat the hell out of the 510 because I will be able to use it outdoor in a more reliable way; the 510, dripping-wise may be a PITA because of its floodings' ways, its "saturation issues" and others which make it MOODY. The 901 LR with the 'ringie-thingy' is the BEST for outdoor-direct dripping coz' it is very dripping-friendly!
(Of course the 306 LR, CISCO specially is THE DRIPPING KING...But Im focusing on something 'convenient' in most possible aspects...)
What do you think?
