These lil $10 atty everybody raves about lately have a very thin coat of chrome over a thick coat of copper,over an unknown metal.

Copper is bad,m'kay?

Let the paranoia begin :)

The knockoffs might have copper or brass in them but the bottom part is stainless in which your e-juice will be in contact with. The real ones are stainless steel with the little top part your drip tip fits in being chrome plated copper.

The Chinese have to do something with all that radio active metal that we keep shipping them

OK...About the Rainbow, I have BOTH the Phoenix and Rainbow and partially it does matter on how you build your wick, BUT it also depends on the products draw and the Rainbow has a BETTER draw out the box in comparison to the Phoenix!

Differences between the two, The Phoenix has a juice reservoir and the Rainbow does NOT! Rainbow has a better draw, thus producing more vapor! I took BOTH ATTYS to a VAPE meet just this past weekend and everyone also agreed that the Rainbow was better!

I can agree to this to an extent...the bigger Phoenix XL seems like it has a overall better vape than the smaller one for some reason.

You know just as well as I do and along with other Genesis and RA users, that draw plays a BIG factor! Though it can be modified, I based my review on BOTH products coming out the box! :)

It ain't nothing much but I'm going to get something better but I was reading about everybody knocking over their mod and sometimes causing irreversible problems, so it was either get something or drill holes in my desk. Desk wasn't thick enough so I got a square block of 2x4 and drilled a couple hole in it. When using some of my later devices i want them up. They would fall and always hit my rack of atomizers, ect. Well it works for now but I'm going to get somthing, ( or make somthing)

My Raven tank replacement filler-less cartomizers are driving around my neighborhood right now, I'm sure that I will be saying something about them later today.

Don't get too excited about 'em, DW... The factory made an unauthorized and unexpected change to them (from the well reviewed prototype), and they are a major FAILURE. GotVapes is ...... as hornets. They will be correcting the situation and taking care of their customers Danno says.

I wonder what I will be saying.
If the atomizer works and the upper seal holds tight it may not matter too much to me as I will be making some changes anyway, but it would be good if they worked half decent.
I was reading the Raven thread, wow is there a bunch of disappointed folks, I think only one person said his worked OK

From the CCV site:

Any ideal on the price for the zmax?

Between 118 or 128 smoktech set a minimum pricing, just ordered 50 chrome and 50 SS Really cool set wattage can grab any of dozen different carto's no matter what the ohms are vape pretty much the same. Can definetly feel the button click, it barely sticks out also, no led in buttons
