Wow this is a long thread. Glad to be able to take part in it now, thanks to Sir_L.

I started a separate thread with some pics where I'll update my thoughts on this new ST, but I had to add my compliments here with the rest of them. This is one rock solid beautiful piece of art. Feels unbelievably sturdy, so much so that picking up one of my other fat batts now feels like I'm holding a pen. I like the weight, the feel, the look of it. Honestly don't think it could get much better. Well, unless I had two of them lol. Which after having this one for only a few hours, I'm already considering. I can seriously see myself getting an ST Mini eventually.
I do have a question for all of you more experienced with the ST ( just one ? for now, more to follow I'm sure) - My very first attempt at using my 5v regulated Saber Touch ended up frying a standard resistance atty ( I don't have a meter but I'm sure it wasn't LR). So instead of experimenting on all my SR attys, I put a dual coil carto on, and have been vaping happily ever since. I dropped by my local PV shop and got a HV (5.0 ohm) atty to try, and it works ok, but it's more like puffing on a 3.7v. Cooler vapor and not as much of it. Is there a sweet spot for attys for this model? I'm still completely new to HV, so I don't know what to look for yet. If you guys could point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.
