Reviewer comments on business characteristics

Dripper built for one purpose, rendering flavors !! Just read the manufacturer's description to understand it.

    • Dome-cut top cap to enhance the flavors
    • Drip tip pierced laterally to create a vortex on the suction side (thus amplifying… the flavors… them again!)

But also think to facilitate the assembly to bring you the following elements:

  • Positive pin pierced with 4 turns of 0.06mm to pass the big resistive
  • Tank with central wells to guide straight your coils stems
  • Mass on chassis and tightening by a four screw ring

And the most powerful will not be left out.

    • Positive pine in raw copper
    • ULTEM insulation resistant to temperatures above 200 ° C

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

Small in size but strong in weight !! The 454 weighs 89grs, which is starting to get heavy for a “simple” dripper. The steels used in construction are massive, which suggests that they will not deform over time.

Functional features

  • Connection type: 510
  • Adjustable positive plot? No, a flush mount can only be guaranteed through an adjustment of the positive pad of the battery or the mod on which it will be installed
  • Presence of air flow regulation? Yes, and variable
  • Diameter in mms maximum of the air regulation possible: 10
  • Minimum diameter in mms of the air regulation possible: 3
  • Air regulation positioning: Lateral positioning and benefiting resistors
  • Atomization chamber type: Bell type
  • Heat dissipation of the product: Normal

Reviewer's comments on functional features

Dripper well thought out as a whole, there is a top cap equipped with fins for heat dissipation + a delrin drip tip. The airflow system allows you to switch from a configuration of 2 to 4 coils by simply rotating the outer airflow ring to open them according to the desired configuration. Too bad, however, that the 510 pin is fixed, flush mounting cannot be guaranteed.

Drip-Tip Features

  • Drip tip type: 510 Only
  • Presence of a Drip-Tip? Yes, the vaper can immediately use the product
  • Length and type of drip-tip present: Medium
  • Quality of the drip-tip present: Very good

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

Very clever drip tip, unlike the others which are drilled right through, this one is drilled laterally on the bottom. These unusual holes have the effect of creating a vortex in the evaporation chamber to increase the rendering of flavors.

Very good idea but making it unusable on classic atos.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

The first time I heard “454 Big block” I couldn't help but think of the famous “muscle” Chevrolet engine because does this big block deserve such a name?

454_bigblock

Well, yeah !! it comes directly compete with the famous dripper lava flows, the rendering is excellent, fine and delicate but if you put more power you wake up the monster !!

When the coil sends stratospheric clouds and clear flavors will fill the palace.

The only question is whether you will tame the 454 Big Block!
