Titanium ACHILLES DRIPPER Review

[dspin]

The Achilles is the next new dripper from Titanium mods, no wires or soldering. Simple, very easy to setup and build, with few parts . 22 mm, All titanium, extremely light and well made with beautiful engravings on the front and also the top cap. Plain on the back for those who dont care for engravings.

The little brother to Prometey 2, being only 36mm without drip tip and connector. Here we have it on the Lord by GUS in 18350 mode. You will see just how small it is.

It utilizes 2 juice wells making capacity 2.2 ml - however you can put more in to 1/2 way up the center chimney, because of the high posts and high chimney. It doesn't leak and air comes in from side hole in base. Filling is done by removing the top cap. If you happen to get juice down the center air chimney - just blow it out from the size airhole - easy and no removing it from the device. Trying to fill it down the drip tip usually results in getting some down the airhole.


Air control is adjusted from screw in bottom of base with allen key, with increments of - 0.3mm to 1.8mm - The best way to vape it is with a easy, slow, long draw. Some people have said they hear air when inhaling - so dont use massive hard inhales.


It also has an adjustable center post - so will fit all devices for sure.


It vapes just as great as the Prometey, flavor is amazing and a tad sharper/brighter. Vapor production is again excellent. I tried putting filler in top, but it is much better without it.



Price is 115 Euros w/registered WORLDWIDE shipping - here's what you get




"ACHILLES" set:- atomizer "ACHILLES"
- allen key to adjust the air hole - 1 piece
- shims to adjust center pin- thread of silica -1 meter- nichrome wire 0.20 mm-1 meter

Q, why can't you get an Achilles or Prometey??

B'coz Bashik refuses to send me one

 

[Vwls]

LOL Bashik is still sending me a Prometey... yes??? (Here's where Bashik rushes in to the thread to tell everyone how excited he is to send them more of his precious creations)

Great review Dspin as always, and awesome photos.

For those who like a pretty hefty bit of vapor and an open draw, I will note here that the Achilles has a bit of a tight draw even with the air passage opened to full capacity. It more than compensates for this however with stunning looks and a great symmetrical design under the hood (and those deep juice wells - heavenly). I do recommend this atty - it's a must for the discerning collector/vaper.

I ordered the Promety-II on the day of it's launch. Waaaaaaaaaaaay back in Dec-13 (1st week if I remember right) ~ and there has been no updates. My emails to Bashik elicits nothing worthwhile either

Similar experience for me. But I cried about it enough that I was sent an Achilles. I suggest tears - real tears qorax. This is no time to be manly.

Thank you 'D'

I ordered on the same day I think (first day it was available to order), mine came on Monday. I was only a couple of minutes in though. About two to three minutes after ordering opened.

 

[dspin]

Glad you got yours right away Bob - thats awesome news. I got my order in right away too.

Can't wait for my Achilles… wow,

my P2 gets more use than any atomizer i ever had, ( I've had just about every Ti from Bashik and the Ukraine modders.) and i've tried more than my share of high end atomizers in the last few years.

The Big Ben was tops for flavor in my experience (vapor is outstanding too)

…but the P2 has just been foolproof and the air draw is perfect as it came so i've never adjusted it.

I can put over a ml of juice at a time (mostly drip it in and tilt to let the filler absorb, and then it takes close to a ml more at the base.

fwiw Ive never seen any other atomizer with Bashik's trademark elevated air hole post (under the coil)…

I guess the P2 chamber size helps cool the vapor vs. ie. the Gryphon, which is awesome too and warmer… it (P2) really showcases the flavor of your favorite juice with clarity like nothing I've tried.

The P2 never gets hot either even at 0.5 resistance…

I know this is the Achilles thread Dspin, sorry… but just saying… can't wait to compare it.

 

[dspin]

No worries Uke, Glad you like the Prometey so much. The Achilles is just as awesome.

Achilles is great for using Cheesecloth wicks, Bamboo wicks (because they wick so well) and of course the Mesh U-wick
