I picked the thing up from one of my local shops on Friday. Went outta town for the weekend so I didn't get a chance to start messing with it until Monday. I'm on the fence about it so far.
The machining it's the greatest on the thing…. Machine marks all over the deck, a few burrs here and there. The drip tip had thin left over plastic from the mold peeling off around were the O-rings goes; had to take a x-acto knife to it to fix that part. The holes the allen wrench go into on the grub screws seem to be a little wonky, so you have to fiddle with the key a little more than you should to get the key inserted properly to be able to screw and unscrew the grub. The O-rings on the cap and deck are a little more lose than I’d like as well. I understand that the cap is supposed to come on and off for dripping, and I understand the barrel being twisted is what adjusts the air flow.... so they need to be a little lose, but they could have been more snug than they are.
The atomizer is definitely made in china. It was designed in the USA, but you can tell it was manufactured in china. Kinda like the mutation I guess. You can’t really seem to find much info on the atomizer for the company that designed it (or at least I haven’t). I threw a 0.22ohm build on the thing so far. The actual
juice well is pretty small when you look at it and once you get cotton in there. It has that outer section that the bottom air flow comes up through, then the inner section with the positive post is the
juice well. I get leaks through the bottom\side air flow holes a lot so far. I know that bottom air flow attys are prone to leaking in general, so I’m trying to find a happy medium here. But I definitely don’t get as many leaks with my Kennedy RDA. But then again with the Kennedy, I pull the top cap off and have more control over dripping onto the coils without the barrel in the way. I could do the same with this atty, but that kinda defeats the purpose of the removable top cap. I can drip in the center right on top of the positive post so the
juice goes into the well and soaks up the cotton, or I can very gently paint the coils with juice…. Either way seems to get leaks since the juice will fall off the coils\cotton onto the negative deck section the posts are milled into and then it will work its way down the air flow channels and out the side. I need to try some more build on the thing to find one that works the best.
These are just first impressions so far. I hope more people will post up in here about it, but so far I don’t know of anyone other than me that bought the thing, lol. I’m not writing this thing off by any means, I’m gonna give it the college try and see what it can do for me.
