It's here! Woohoo! :)

I have mild machining marks on the poly tanks though. >_<
Will throw it all in the ultrasonic cleaner, then once it's washed see how noticeable they are and maybe contact Pete.

edit: SN 006, guess I was fast! :p

Just get a new one on the 19th, I'll buy that one from you now.

I'm envious of all of you.

Cleaned everything, both clear tanks had noticeable marks.
Managed to polish the majority out of the mini tank section, but the standard one I have no hope so I've pm'ed Pete.

Threw in a 4/5 wrap 3mm Ti coil @0.20 ohms, cotton wick out the bottom slots and back in through the top.
Vaping very nicely thus far!
I won't go into flavor comparisons right now. I'm vaping a menthol juice (Chloes Afterparty by HoV) which is perfect due to having a cold haha, but not good for saying how good flavor is compared to other attys. :p

Oh, 2 more things:

It's an absolute doddle to fill. You could trickle in 100% VG with a coffee mug and not get any in the chimney (my pet peeve on the Squape).

It eats juice! And I mean EATS! lol
I'm getting denser vapor than I've had on other attys, so I guess that's the price I pay for it. :lol:

Some more observations from my first day of usage.

The post grub screws can snap 24g Ti wire if tightened too firmly (oops! lol). I'd assume thinly gauged nickel would fare much worse.
I'm wondering if the two little metal washers and a couple of those screws in the spares kit are meant for use on the posts when running nickel coils, but haven't tried them.

The white insulator in the base can partially obstruct the air hole if not seated tight when reassembling.
The Ubertoot can develop a whistle after reassembling. Mine was caused by the insulator. lol
Screw the coil chamber "cap" on tightly or it'll come off with the chimney when removing the tank to refill.
Don't screw the tank on too tight or the lower tank section will unscrew from the upper on removal (and be a PITA to remove from the base).
See a pattern here? If I can accidentally do something wrong and make life difficult, I undoubtedly will! lol

Wicking using the two large vertical slots is simpler, and IMO gives better flavor/vapor.
(The four horizontal slots might be better for smaller diameter coils that have less wick material though).

Loooooooove the AFC! It's simple, has a fairly wide range, and so easily adjustable.
I am so tired of AFCs you need to unscrew the atty to adjust.

Both my poly tanks had rough machining marks. Managed to buff the mini one to an acceptable level, the standard one there's no chance and I've PM'ed the maker about. Thankfully he's stated no more will be shipped out like that, so hopefully future buyers won't risk this problem.
(It's only an aesthetics thing, they're perfectly usable... but I'm fussy) :p

For flavor the UTA beats the other RTAs I own, without question.
I. Can't. Stop. Myself. From. Vaping. More. And. More! Omnomnomnomnom!
I've tried three different juices thus far, they all taste better in the Ubertoot.
Don't ask how much juice I've vaped today, it's a disgustingly large amount. lol

Airflow... it's above average. I can lung hit on it, but it's easier to do on other attys.

Ease of building? That's a tricky one. Putting a coil in is easy as pie, wicking takes a little more time and care.


TLDR?
Would I buy another Ubertoot? Even with the niggles I've had?
Umm... If I'm still as happy with it after the weekend is done as I am now... I'm lining up for UberTuesday again. :pervy:
