Reviewer comments on business characteristics
With a capacity of 2.5ml, two resistors including one in Nickel for temperature control and a small price, the Speed 8 enters the race of the market which floods us with this kind of atomizer.
This is a very good thing because finally we have choice, prices more and more competitive and performance that are up to some RTA (rebuildable atomizers with tank). What happiness!
This clearomizer with a chrome finish and air-flows perfectly matched to the values of the resistances provided seems to conform to the new expectations, it remains only to see what it gives in situation of vape.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
Its size is common to other clearomisers of this type, as its weight by the way, the look is also very elegant and sleek with a very bright chrome that marks the fingerprints and a perfectly transparent pyrex tank.
No RBA plate associated with this product, so no possibility to rebuild its coil, only proprietary resistors in Kanthal or Nickel, are adapted to this clearomiser.
The liquid capacity is reasonable with these 2.5ml.
The pin is not adjustable is flush with the thread of the connection
The diameter of 22.5mm, fits all mods of 22mm without worries, the half-millimeter does not even notice.
This Speed 8 is very easy to assemble with its total 5 parts, including resistance and drip-tip.
The air-flows have three different sizes of openings, at the same time on two sides of the atomizer, which allows a ventilation quite in agreement with the value of the resistances proposed
Functional features

- Diameter in mms maximum of the air regulation possible: 8
- Minimum diameter in mms of the air regulation possible: 4

Reviewer's comments on functional features
The 510 connection, to a pin flush with the thread, which can sometimes pose a small problem of contact with the mod (or the box).
For air flow, the two vents on either side of the atomizer have a variable opening in three positions, rotating the ring on the base. This ring is really easy to handle and a small "click" locks the chosen position.
The filling of the tank remains simple, placing the clearomiser head down, and pouring the liquid between the chimney and the pyrex tank. However, be sure to hold the tank while filling and screwing the base to avoid spilling the liquid. Do not forget to imbibe the resistance with the juice, moderately so as not to clog it
It is a clearomizer composed of only 5 parts (drip-tip, top-cap with chimney, pyrex, resistance and base), which is really very easy to use.
Drip-Tip Features
- Drip tip type: 510 Only
- Presence of a Drip-Tip? Yes, the vaper can immediately use the product

- Quality of the present drip-tip: Good
Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip
The drip-tip is rather classic, totally smooth bright chrome color, its fixation holds perfectly well.
The diameter of the internal opening is wide enough with its 6mm, which is very well suited to the steam that clearomizer delivers.

Vapelier's note on packaging: 4 / 5 
Reviewer's comments on conditioning
The packaging is the image of the atomizer: very simple!
In a transparent hard plastic box, the notice is placed on the bottom of the container. So she can be read through this one.
The explanations are relatively basic but nevertheless sufficient.
Two resistors are delivered with this atomizer. One is in Kanthal with an organic cotton worth 0.3 ohm for a conventional operation in sub-ohm, the other resistance is in nickel with an organic cotton, worth 0,2 ohm for operation with the temperature control for a cold vapor.
Appreciations in use

- Disassembly and cleaning facilities: Easy, even standing in the street, with a simple tissue paper
- Filling facilities: Easy but requires a workspace
- Facilities for changing resistances: Easy, even standing in the street
- Is it possible to use this product throughout the day with several vials of EJuice? Yes perfectly
- Was there leak after one day of use? No
- In the event of leaks during tests, descriptions of the situations in which they occurred
Vapelier's note on ease of use: 4.2 / 5 
Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
I had no difficulty mounting this atomizer. Filling is easy provided that you keep the tank during this operation and then when you close it. I started by using TC 0.2 resistor with a box adapted for temperature control. On the first box tested, it was impossible for me to make contact with the pine atomizer, so I changed equipment.
On the second everything works, so I set it on a temperature of 400 ° F, I get a light vape with a cold vapor and a discrete hit. At 450 ° F the vapor becomes splendid and dense with a correct hit and a very soft sensation of a barely lukewarm vape. At 500 ° F I feel that I am reaching a heating limit of my resistance, with a very dense vapor, a stronger hit and a warmer heat.
With resistance in kanthal, the maneuver is done in a normal or mechanical mode, but in sub-ohm, are operating is classic with a hot and dense vapor. For this resistance of 0.3 ohm value, 35 watts, it is a vape power that seems balanced with a very nice soft steam and round in the mouth for a warm vapor.
No congestion felt or any dry hits. The size of the chimney associated with a very airy air flow is sufficient to obtain a perfectly soft, warm and dense vapor. However, after three days, the resistance is a little engorged with splashes of liquid in the mouth, but it did not last
It is a modest clearomizer with a restitution more than correct, both in terms of steam and that of flavor.

The mood ticket of the reviewer
This is a Clearomizer very easy to use, despite a small episode of engorgement, I had no leak.
I regret this pine for which I would have appreciated 1 / 2mm extra. The values of the resistances provided, are quite accurate.
As for the vape, that it is with the resistance in Nickel or that in Kanthal the vape is dense, the hit very present but especially the heat is well dissipated. For air-flows, their sizes are perfectly appropriate even if I needed only the smallest opening.
But what I really liked was the restitution of the flavors that I found very beautiful and even more with the cold vapor using the nickel resistance.
A shiny chrome that makes the Speed 8 elegant and a good rendering of flavors for abundant steam, nice.
