So built out the Axial with a simple spaced Clapton 26G core 6 wraps 3.5 mm ID came in at 0.60 ohm. Lots of cotton to fill out those two juices wells with only a single coil. Cut the legs at 5 mm, which seems good to me. vaping some French toasty thing on a Topside at 44W. Using the 3 holes rather than the whole slit.

Overall pretty easy to build. Probably easier with a flat fused Clapton but far from a problem. All the screws are nice and smooth and the o rings just fine with a touch of juice on them. Top cap fits well, not overly tight or loose just tight. The AF part turns well after a little juice therapy.

The vape is seriously yummy. I know this juice well and the flavor is spot on. With the 3 holes it's virtually silent on the draw. Haven't even tried the slots, as probably too much sir for my taste, but probably with a dual you might need it to keep things from getting too hot.

The coil is up like on a DR. Squonking doesn't quite reach the coils but with lots of cotton it wicks just fine. The air comes in right at the coil, so no problem with it swishing around just the top like on a DR or other air set attys. Combine it all and it's a stellar deal. Even at $40 it's worth a buy. The machining is terrific. I looked at it under a glass and while it is black it still looked all nicely finished.

The metal 810 is also beautifully done, but metal, so switched out for the Delrin. I wish the whole Delrin top cap airflow part had been on stock as I hate hot tops near my tender lips. But unless really chain vaping it, it doesn't seem to overheat.

IMO this is a winner for me. Great single flavor experience, and while I haven't tried it yet I expect a dual coil build with the air a bit more loose would be superb if a little too cloudy for me. The post holes really are large, tough to think of what wouldn't fit in there. For $20, even with the $6 shipping expense, it's a bargain.

Oh, that's without the beauty ring. I forgot to put it on. It's also a really nicely finished piece of metal.
I was really impressed by how well machined it is. The polished SS I got today is beautiful, too. I'm glad you're enjoying it.

    Looks great.
    Perfect. You approach the review personally which is what I like about forum reviews.
    How where the o rings. Geekvape often have strong o rings which can be hard for those with dexterity issue's. Both the tsunami and medusa reborn almost gave me hernia getting the top off, lol.

    Thanks for the kind words. The orings were snug but not a problem to remove the cap. I was going to whine about the 810 DT, which I hate those but then I noticed there is an adapter so I could use my 510's. Woo hoo, happy camper.

    Enjoyed the read @rosesense!

    Thanks Letitia.

    I got a 80v Kobalt weed water because I can’t pull start anything. The batteries work with the lawn mower and leaf blower. Great battery op stuff. I wish I could get that attachment for mine. I absolutely hate putting string on it. Much swearing. It’s pretty heavy too, but it cuts like a gas powered one.
    A battery operated one will be my next one because it is getting harder to pull that darn string. I just had mine tuned up and a new carburetor put in it and it is starting like the day I bought it again. 3 pulls usually does it.

    My nephew tuned my gas one up, and I did manage to start it. But then I had nothing left to swing it around lol. I bought a 40v Black & Decker, but that was total junk. It would have been easier to cut the weeds with scissors. The Kobalt tools are really impressive. And those batteries go from flat to fully charged in less than an hour. Pricey but worth it.

    Welp, I think my fate is sealed. I'm gonna end up spending all my money on Russian made mechs.

    If you can swing it, get a Stihl. It really makes a difference. Even their electric stuff is well made and reliable, and outperforms just about everything else on the market. It's one of those you can't go wrong things.

    I am really diggin' these Unicorn RDAs.

    I think it's time to re-evaluate my top five. It's a really nice combo of a TM24 Pro style deck and the smooth honeycomb airflow of a Bonza. It's 25mm too, which is near perfect for my build style and devices. Flavor is great, air is smooth and it stays cool.

    I didn’t know Stihl made stuff like that. Didn’t see any when I was shopping for it.
