Reviewer comments on business characteristics
This Tube atomizer comes to us from Serbia, it is manufactured "by hand" by craftsmen modeurs whose company is called Limelight Mechanics. Produced in a limited and numbered series, the Tube is a single coil RBA / RTA, with a minimum capacity of 2ml. Entirely in stainless steel (stainless steel) of very finely brushed quality 304 (nickel chrome), it stands out from the RTA atomizers of the moment, by offering a tight vape, favoring the restitution of flavors.
Its price does not make it an object accessible to the greatest number, but it is an artisanal material of an irreproachable quality, made to last, one can consider that it is expensive, or that it really costs what it's worth, hope this review will enlighten you a bit about it.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
The Tube comes in the simplest form possible: a 22mm diameter cylinder. Its top cap is a ring that can be screwed to the tank, flared towards the center and dotted with six evenly spaced notches. The perimeter and the notches are lapped finish giving a mat light gray appearance to the metal.
The body is a cylinder 23mm long and 1,75mm thicker, it is terminated by internal screw threads at each end, positioned identically, to avoid misleading the assembly.
The chimney is a heating chamber with an external diameter of 15,5, extended by a length of 14mm and an external diameter of 11,25mm. The latter protrudes from the top-cap to allow you the grip necessary for its rotation, we will see that later. The external part of the chimney is notched in the same way as the top-cap, which constitutes a good grip for its handling.
The 14mm diameter plate has 2 mounting pads for a single coil. In the center an airhole feeds your assembly. Four 1mm diameter juice inlets are visible on either side of the assembly stations. Under the tray, a space is arranged for the juice flow adjustment (JFC) and an inlet is drilled in this space.
The tray base is the outdoor air inlet and the 510 connection. An adjusting ring is positioned to recover the diameter of 22mm of the set. A very slight difference in thickness between the base and the ring allows its rotation once the ato screwed on the mod.
The brass positive pin is not adjustable, the atomizer fills from the top by unscrewing the top-cap. The ato is very well done, the finish is perfect, the screw is accurate, it is a very beautiful object.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
As we have already mentioned, the Tube is a simple coil, equipped with an adjustable airflow and a control of the arrival of juice. In detail, these features are presented as follows:
The JFC is manipulated by the part of the chimney that protrudes from the top-cap. Your assembly finished, to fill the atomizer, you close the arrival of juice by screwing completely the chimney up to the base of the plate. Once the top-cap screwed, you will act on the arrival of juice by unscrewing the chimney. This one will come into abutment inside the top-cap, thanks to a shoulder worked in bias which goes moreover, to quench all. See in the photos what you will not see once mounted.
The arrival of juice is made via a hole made in the space between the plate and the base, to reach your cotton, by 4 holes located on both sides of the mounting stations.
The table top offers a clear workspace, the flat head screws prevent the wire from being cut when tightening. Your coil should be placed so that the ends coincide with the juice arrival tables, nothing complicated.
The cotton will be arranged to cover the space of arrival of juice on each side of the posts, it is necessary to dissociate it a little to enable it to occupy as much as possible the available place, inside the volume delimited by the step of screw of the room / chimney, who will come to style it.
The airflow is minimal, 2 x 1,8mm adjustable by the ring on one or both vents. With this type of openness, you can forget about cloud contests.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning
Your Tube is delivered to you in a small wooden box with a sliding lid. Inside, the atomizer is ready to be equipped with a coil and one of your drip-tips. You will also find a translucent polycarbonate tank, some O-rings, 2 replacement screws as well as an insulator for the positive post of the plate and another to replace that of the positive pin. There is also a "pick tool" so named by the manufacturers, which in my opinion is used more for disassembling the positive pin than for playing the guitar, despite its shape reminiscent of a pick.
No instructions ... I did not say anything for the drip-tip but I do not agree. Simple explanatory diagrams would have been enough, but no, nothing. This is all the more absurd as it is a high-end material, so expensive, and which, although of simple design, deserved a user manual, for the sake of the customer and because that also, it is possibly obligatory in Europe.
A small lack that makes flying the Top Ato that the tube would probably have deserved.

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 4.4 / 5 
Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
This RBA fills up, after closing the arrival of juice and unscrewed the top-cap as shown in the photo. 2 ml no more, where you will drown the coil you have soaked to prime it.
With a 0,8Ω coil you do not take any risk. Below, the airflow may not be enough and your vape will be very hot (0,4Ω is really problematic). The tight draw promotes good restitution of the flavors of the juice, this is what emerges from the tests of the test. This vape does not suit me particularly, but I appreciated the authenticity of the rendering. By design and ease of use, this atomizer, like drippers, can very well be used to taste juices or for those who vaporize on a very high level of nicotine and who do not want to tear off the throat in sub-ohm.
Disassembly and cleaning are very simple and do not require a work plan or special tools. A handkerchief and water enough for everyday use and to change juice, a dry burn and a change of cotton will do.

The mood ticket of the reviewer
It's a bit of a return to the past not too far from the vape, the time when the atos offered slow airflows that did not allow a big production of steam, the Tube is a resistant.
Limelight Mechanics, if they go against what is done today, have nonetheless signed an original atomizer, complete and specific. Lovers of quality, whether conceptual and fashion, or for a parsimonious tasting, will be delighted to vaper with this material.
The Vapelier has just filled a commercial gap (the lack of notice) and you certainly have a drip-tip that will suit his look to take full advantage, it is even suitable for beginners.
Tell us your opinion on this unique model, you will not be many, it will be all the more valuable.
I thank you for your attention, wish you a good vape and tell you very soon.
