The ShockWave by Super-T Preorder Thread

[siouxsie]

I bought an ultrasonic cleaner for my wife for Christmas. Obviously it will be a multi-purpose device. I'm pretty sure you can put whatever (within reason) cleaning agents in there.

Like you, I'm set for a long, long time. I love all kinds of atomizers all for their different characteristics; yesterday I vaped an i06, Mark-T, a 901 and a Penelope. The only ones I don't like are ones that I have to doink around with for any more than three minutes max.

David has alluded in these threads that those of us who haven't given up on standard atomizers might be in for a treat.
I believe him.

I do not hate hearing that! Thanks, I don't keep up on that thread because it's so off in the distance yet. I'm also waiting for cisco's amp tank which if it works would be great.

part of my problem is I rotate literally 10-12 flavors over the course of 3 days, so I've always got that many atties going, or cartos, so there's no way I can afford that many rba or other expensive atties.

They're great for liquids that aren't dark and dirty, or have too much VG. If any of the later, they can be spitty and man do the coils carbonize quickly. It ends up going from looking like a compressed bed spring with seriously thick coils to a rectangular brick of coal (under magnification). However they can be cleaned but it's not so easy. I still have all 4 of mine working but like said above if you start out at 3 ohms it'll go longest before the res drops too far and you have to clean or toss. At first I was ...... but now that I know these things I'll probably buy more some day, when I make a dent in said hoarding. Oh and go with long barrel unless you like a hot vape and spit juice in your mouth.

I use 100% VG unflavored... I have tried cleaning them and even dry burning them but when their done-their done.. They might still work for some but not for me... A fresh HH357 cannot be beat... I know @ $25 a pop their expensive but so is a Supercharger for your engine... Ive had em last for months but really 4 weeks is max for top performance.. The spittyness usual goes away after a day or so of breaking in....
TopCookie they are that good in a small sleek form factor, for direct dripping thay cannot be beat!
For VG you need to order the custom ones built for VG.

can't post links to competitors here and yeah the 100% vg will kill 'em quick unless you clean them practically every day.

I keep hearing good things about the HH atomiser... Never tried one yet, as the cost incl shipping to get one here is high... Seriously tempted though, all the same... and do love a bit of direct dripping, too...

So am I have NEVER used an atty since I am a chain vapor and would have to drip every few seconds but it may be worth it flavor wise.

 

[siouxsie]

So am I. Have NEVER used an atty since I am a chain vapor and would have to drip every few seconds.

how did you melt those batteries and springs? I thought you were messing with a rebuildable or something?

Thx siouxsie, I got rid of the link... The custom ones built for 100% VG last me about 5-6 weeks, blow em clear twice a day and they keep working at peak performance ... Soaking and dry burning doest help that much.. The resistance gets to low(from 3.0 to 2.0 ohms) at that point I toss em....

Silverrocks you dont know what you are missing. Cartos cannot compare to an atty for flavor and performance, especially HH's. Ive been dripping for 3+ years and thay are the best!
I carry a 3ml bottle, direct dripping is as easy as lighting a cigarette.. 2-3 drops and you get enough hits to satisfy your nic fix..

I think she may have been using a device that...well...if you look at it wrong it'll short out your atty/carto by shoving a floating centerpin right into its guts.

5-6 weeks is pretty good, still I could clean them but it would be too much of a PITA with the frequency of cleaning needed to justify it, especially since you're getting that long doing it your way. Unflavored VG though, why do you want a .357 for that? I would use something cheaper, all benefit you are getting would seem to be vapor density and volume. I cannot do 100% VG unflavored, tastes like candle wax to me...

I see. Only time I've had shorts were using an Indulgence that for some reason is shorting now, maybe the ground is messed up, dunno, but things get real hot real fast so you have to get the battery out of there quick and not use it. Other time before I knew better I used an aluminum spacer in a 18650 mod with a 18500 battery, again hard short and wicked heat real fast. The IMR's will release tremendous current which turns straight to heat and will stay hot for 10-15 minutes after removal. Sometimes I use a Vapesafe but really only if I'm using stacked batts (now very rarely) so nothing catastrophic can happen, the vape safe circuit will trip instead of something far worse. Many shorts are what computer geeks used to call ID 10 T errors... I am proof.

You are correct its the vapor density, but the flavor is much better IMO.. I use Innovapors Ultapure unflavored 30mg... I have tried other vendors unflavored VG and they all have a funny taste... Innovapers juice is clean tasting(no wax) the only taste is the nicotine... Really 4 weeks is the best performance with a HH, but I milk em out an extra week or two due to their high cost... Would I love a Strata RBA drip ony version

Shockwave Update: Working on the first batch of 27 units. All bodies and caps are completely done being finished Prepped. All Bottom master/on off switches engraved (sample of engraved switch below, i found this more suitable place to engrave then on the very inside). Still need to solder the switch wire leads, install spring plunger, press in posts. Will Keep you updated. Its about 50/50 Satin to Polished finishes on the first 27 units:

 

[9ball_AJ]

Very Exciting!!!

The engraving looks great! I love it.

Should we expect to get shipping confirmation notices when our specific order ships??

 

[wfarrar33]

getting sooo close. I just got a ZAU off the classifieds. Hopefully it will match up nicely.

 

[wfarrar33]

how does one go about getting in line for the HF Mini. I have a Piccolo V3 on the way in desperate need.

Ah, the Hellfire Mini is an astonishingly good atomiser... you won't be disappointed, but blimey it is a thirsty little sucka...

The draw will be a lot firmer than the ZAU though... I believe the Zen stuff is very airy and easy on the draw...

wfarrar, the HF Mini and HF Mega lists are closed...... sorry

The only way to acquire one currently is through the classifieds.

 

[drewbalicious]

I'm gonna be the odd one out. I'll be using a boge tank with 2.6 ohm wicks and sweet cream. But hey, it works for me

So we can be the odd "two" out. I'll just be using a carto tank set up too. I'm boring and lazy like that. No re-buildables for me.

 

[drewbalicious]

Sweet mamma jamma those are some good looking units. Wait, that doesn't sound right....Can't wait!

 

[snork]

The engraving is perfect and the initials are unmistakable! I can't believe this!
Something I think is so cool is how we have just so patiently waited, the knowledge of faith getting us to this point. We are so cool!

Yeah I think we can toot our own horn when it comes to that, I have seen preorder threads get angry after a while. Updates go a long way to calm the crowd.

Edit: Looking at the last picture I can now understand why people had such a hard time trying to decide between satin and polished, they both look frickin amazing, I wish I couldve bought one of each but since I can only have one I am happy with my choice of polished.
