I had been looking at it for a while. It checks off all of the boxes for a single battery mod that I had in mind.
I'm interested in getting an e-pipe. I have a Provari set-up that I puff on like a pipe. The Elitar looks interesting and I love ordering from MVS. Guess it's going into my Labor Day order.
It's decent. I favor the simple, utilitarian look in my hardware. I don't know anything really about the tank that they try to sell with it. I just got the device. It takes a single 18650. It is designed for a 22 mm tank. It goes to 75W. It has Wattage/Bypass/TC (nickel, SS, titanium, three TCR memory settings) modes. It has a decent screen that would go where the top of the bowl in a real pipe would be. The fire button is on the inside of the bend between the stem and the bowl. I find it comfortable to use there with my thumb. You have the option of installing a custom logo. Once the normal screen times out it will go to that logo for a while before finally going to black. The logo has to be a monochrome bitmap with specific pixel settings. I currently use a Batman symbol.
Oh yeah, using a TC tank on it (my old Horizon Tech Arctic V8 with a nickel atomizer) you really get a nice pipe feel. The device allows you to set the Wattage in TC mode. I like to put it at 23-25W and set it at 445-465 degrees (F) so I can puff on it and have it heat up like a real pipe.
I'm not big on full size tanks, if I don't like the Elitar tank I'll see how the 18mm mini Buddha looks on it 
(Sigh). I keep meaning to build one. Saw a dude once with a natural briar custom rig: apple bowl, 45deg stem and a straight bit atop a SvoeMaesto KF Russian. That MTL tank would not be to my taste, but a Serpent SMM or a Merlin would go well up there. It'd be a 350 mech, but hey, I like 350 mechs

All of mine happen to be 22 mm in diameter so it worked out well for me. I don't think a tank that was 18-20 mm would look all that odd on the thing. Mine is black though, and my tanks are black as well, so small mismatches in detail don't stand out.
I bought one of the elitar pipes. It's a decent unit but I discovered that pipes aren't my thing. I should probably sell it or pif it since I'm not using it.
I have seen some stunningly beautiful e-pipes. The art and craftsmanship involved are superb. The only downside being that so many of them settle on smaller batteries, or built in batteries that have a lower capacity than what I want to settle for. I understand the allure of just relaxing for a brief period of time with a very nice pipe mod. But my tastes are too utilitarian too allow me to truly enjoy that. I want something that just works and has a nice form factor. As it turns out, that's also a rather inexpensive option. I have been taking my e-pipe to work this week because I bought a few tobacco flavors that I want to play around with and I can use my favorite MTL tank with it. I just swap the tank back to my dual box mod when I get home.
There are some nice 18650 and 18500 epipes available and with a .8Ω build an 18500 will make it most of the day, most notably at work where you can't chain vape . All the pipes I posted earlier in this thread are with 18500 or 18650.
One is always built sitting on my desk that I use when I'm on the computer.

The one I've got in my mouth at the moment takes 18500s. Usually with a Nautilus tank of some sort on it with either the 0.7Ω or 1.6Ω coils I find unless I'm hitting it particularly hard, I only change the battery once a day (it's barely out of my hand as it is)

I do use my pipe to MTL on a NaughtyX, but I also like using it for TC because it feels pipe-ish to me.

Hi Marc!
As you said it before, You have a Puma Dedek pipe (is this a 18650 one?). thancks!
I have two Puma's and both are 18650's as well as a couple from the Pipesmith and ePm.
Ken (pipesmith) made this 18650 for me and it is one of my favorites although a use them all
If you reach out for Matt at E-Pipe Mods I'm pretty sure he can set you up with an 18650 like Sludge's pipe.

Thanks Marc! I like the pipe, it is beautiful, but not very realistic (in my opinion), but it is only my opinion... As for the Puma's e-pipes, many, many of them made your (my) mouth watering! I will be an careful observer of his work, because they are wowww! Thanks a lot for advices, and hope I 'll have more from you!
An excellent and paceful day to all of you!!!
