Reviewer comments on business characteristics

An atomizer where you can go from 01 to 03 coils even for the experienced up to 06 coils but then it becomes complicated. For mounting, I recommend the cotton micro coil because other types of coils will be complicated to place.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The atomizer has an airflow adjustment system ranging from 01 holes of 02 mm to 04 holes of 2mm. The airflow arrives just below each coil which allows a beautiful production of vapor and good flavors. The air intake holes inside can be closed individually with the screws provided. The atomizer can also be mounted in hybrid on a Gus mod.

Vapelier's note on packaging: 0 / 5 0 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

The atomizer arrives in a plastic zip bag with a small survival kit. I find it unacceptable that an atomizer at this price arrives in this kind of packaging. Fortunately, the manufacturer is not stingy in bubble wrap for the shipment because there would be risks of damage to the products during transport.

Appreciations in use

  • Transport facilities with the mod of the test configuration: Ok for an external jacket pocket (no deformations)
  • Disassembly and cleaning facilities: Easy but requires a workspace
  • Filling facilities: Super simple, even blind in the dark!
  • Easy to change resistances: Difficult, requires various manipulations
  • Is it possible to use this product throughout the day with several vials of EJuice? No
  • Have there been any leaks after a day of use? Yes
  • In the event of leaks during tests, descriptions of the situations in which they occurred

It happens from time to time after filling that the atomizer leaks from the airflows. When filling, the top cap should be gently replaced until the holes at the top are blocked. After that, you have to turn the atomizer over and finish putting the top cap back on. This trick will prevent you from leaking normally, at least for me it works.

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 1.7 / 5 1.7 5 out of stars

The mood ticket of the reviewer

This atomizer restores the flavors of liquids really well. The central stud system has been well thought out with small notches which allow you to block your kanthal during your assemblies. The filling is easy and the airflow is perfect in my opinion. Associated with a GUS mod mounted in hybrid, it will satisfy you in every way.
