Reviewer comments on business characteristics

The tested product is in stainless steel with a beautiful polish finish. Obviously, it takes the fingerprints but it remains a detail in front of such a beautiful atomizer. Very compact, since it is only 16mm in diameter, it has everything a large and even more ...

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

29 grams for its weight but my balance can not quite do it. It is very light, with a reduced number of pieces.

The threads are perfect and give appreciable comfort to each assembly. I took some "macro" photos so that you can see the precision of the machining. It is a beautiful job, a solid atomizer and machined in every detail with great thoroughness.

Its small size allows it a capacity of 2.5ml, which is not huge but equal to any atomizer (22mm diameter) with a kit nano (which does not benefit), it still allows autonomy suitable.

The engravings are beautiful, deep and we can feel them by putting their finger on them.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

 

The 510 connection has a brass screw that ensures very good conductivity and allows the atomizer to be flush on any mod with a simple adjustment. Next to this connection (so under the tray), we can see two holes for air flow, but obviously it is fixed.

The plate is quite small, but easily allows an assembly with a single resistance positioned high enough not to risk touching the fixing screws. The bell and the fireplace are in one piece, a bit in the style of the aqua V1, but with such a diameter as to say that this room is small. In any case, it is functional and much more, but we will see that later.

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

No drip tip is delivered with this atomizer, however among various models one of them was delivered to me with the atomizer for the test.

It is priced at 11 euros but agrees divinely well with the Aiolos.

I wouldn't comment on it since it's not his review but I took a photo 😉

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

No packaging for this product and it's a shame.

It is a marketing choice at Gus but it is very unfortunate, because for those who put their equipment conscientiously in boxes, you will find one.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

This Aiolos is a marvel, no need to send a big power to feel immediately its great ability to restore a dense vapor and taste in the mouth beautifully restored.

Set by its small tray leaving a place of work a little restricted, it will not be a great embarrassment, just a matter of habit.

The air flow located under the resistance and the atomization chamber being confined, with each aspiration one feels a concentrate of flavors. However, the airflow remaining fixed, it will not be possible to make resistances too low to allow a dissipation of the correct heat.

Despite that I went down without much difficulty to 0.6 ohm

The mood ticket of the reviewer

It is a beautiful atomizer that promises great flavors.

Its machining and these threads are perfect, there was a good job. Its size of 16 mm in diameter is an asset for those looking for a small set up, but its air flow is fixed, however it is quite suitable for a regular daily vape with average values ​​around 1 ohm. It is a little gem!
