i just got mine in yesterday

11 days to ship from the czech republic to us...not bad.
haven't had a chance to setup as i'm waiting on a needle tip bottle so i can actually fill the damn thing

but it looks damn sexy.

unfortunately, it leaves a somewhat unsightly gap when screwed onto my provari...

Oh no, another temptation... Can't beat that price, especially shipped from overseas. Wonder when he'll get more in? (I see he has 10/20/12 listed. Did you order from the site directly or a forum list?)

I just glanced and like the look intially; small chamber is always nice for flavor. What's the diameter of the air hole if you know?

I also noticed in the video; it looks like he uses cig paper in lieu of oxidizing. I could've missed something, it's almost 3am here...lol

the cigarette paper trick is to put oxidation directly under the coil only.
i ordered it from the site.

i'm not sure on the diameter of the hole, haven't had a chance to use it yet, but just from sucking on it it has quite a tight draw.
with it screwed all the way on the air hole lines up directly with the wick

Yeah, but most people use it in conjunction w/ an oxidized wick, it just adds insurance. I imagine it would work w/o oxidizing as long as the coils don't move... Tight draw is good for me, sounds good.

it fits a lot nicer on my friends lavatube and on my gp paps. there's 2 ways to fill it.
syringe in the wick hole or pull the tank section up and fill from the bottom. i've been using syringe in the middle of the wick, as i already have it there to wrap my coil around the wick.


oh also, i pushed the post further into the bottom of the steamboy and the gap is much smaller now, but it's wider than the topcap on the provari, so i don't use it on my provari anymore.
