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.
