So - my take. I am a serious MTL vaper. From the V4 to the V5 - I feel I lost my best friend to quote a good pal.
I appreciate the people that want to make clouds, and I appreciate Svoemesto striving to cater to that market. However, IMHO, the center hole under the coil is TOO large!
As someone above said, I HOPE the "special part" they mention is a reducer, back to the 4S kit diameter - that's my perfect world. As mentioned, like a 4S kit in reverse.
Like the air-flow, and it's supposed to equal V4, V4-S, etc., but it doesn't. For me. Not in terms of vapor or flavor.
Overall, thumbs up, but is really unusable for me until they restrict the airflow hitting the coil.
I like the unique shape of the V4, I don't like all that glass on the V5. I knock my V4's over on the table several times a day and have never broken the glass. Have never used the PC or Steel section.
Yes, the V4 is a bi**h to build on - I am a dedicated SSV - TiWire fanatic - 7 wraps 0.5mm, 2.5 mm dia. .23-.25 religiously. NOTHING else. It works (with the gold spring).
Anxiously awaiting the release of the "special part".
Anyone wishing to "get rid" of a V4 they've had on the shelf that's new or barely used, I'm buying!
