vaping on mine right now. It has a deep well, great airflow range (mouth to lung is possible if you build for it and close it down), tons of flexibility and room for your builds, supports single coils, and is machined beautifully. The chuff tip took a little getting used to, but it works as expected, no juice drinking after a full week of near constant use. With the right wick and conscious dripping, it doesn't leak (though there are times when the air slots have minor moisture in them). The base of the atty is not lipped, but the designers were smart and made it so the outer sleeve extends just past the base, so your mod won't wick juice out the bottom unless you over tighten it. The centre post has a legitimately squared insulator. Oh and if you like, you can drip through the cap.

My only real complaints are that the centre post appears to be aluminum, and the Philips grub nuts drive me bananas. My RH came with two extra sets - one of them hex screws, but the provided Allen key doesn't match.

I'm incredibly impressed with this atomizer and, even at MSRP it's a winner.

[EDIT] I can't believe I didn't mention flavour! You have to build for it, but this atty chucks and tastes damn fine while it does it. I'm using a twisted single coil at 0.68ohm, and the flavour is only barely behind my Immortalizer. Wonderful.

Fantastic! That's exactly what I was hoping for. You pretty much hit all the points I was curious about! Thank you! :) My only question, what is the chuff cap made from? Does it get hot?

It can get warm on hot builds, largely due to the AFC ring, which is a huge chunk of solid brass. I believe the chuff cap is just Delrin, but it seems to have inlaid brass on the inside of the mouthpiece and I suspect that assists with keeping the heat from getting uncomfortable on your lips. I've had no overheating, but I do generally stay at or above 0.5ohm. I was using it all day yesterday with a dual build at 0.31ohm and it was cool as a cucumber.

Perfect. This will be going on my mech, so it will be at about .2-.3, as I don't like to exceed 70% of my battery's limit.

Yeah, I haven't gotten it (or any build) below 0.31 yet, but it was just fine. I will say that for pure flavour chasing, raise your coils almost flush with the tops of the posts. You'll get pseudo-bottom-airflow and the cap will keep the spitback at bay.

For clouds... it just chucks no matter what I throw in it. This really is an outstanding value atty and I very much plan to continue supporting CoV with my wallet.

i would try something else bc the post screws are a real PITA to work with. incredibly small which means you cannot torque on the screws bc you'll strip the tiny philips heads. this is 2015, it should have large philips heads, grub screws, or just something other than super cheap tiny screws.

Hit them up for replacements. You should get hex grubs too. If you're like me, the included hex wrench won't fit them. :(
