Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

With a pretty nice look, this atomizer allows single and double coil assemblies but the airflow is only intended for double.
The joints have a perfect fit, post fasteners do its job but the tightening remains imprecise.
The screws are made of brass a material that I appreciate moderately in an area in contact with the liquid

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, but fixed only
  • Diameter in mms maximum of the air regulation possible: 5
  • Minimum diameter in mms of the air regulation possible: 1
  • Positioning of the air regulation: The positioning does not effectively benefit the resistors
  • Spray chamber type: Conventional / Wide
  • Heat dissipation of the product: Low

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The airflow is located laterally via 5 holes of 1 mm on each side of the atomizer, a rotating ring allows to open from 1 to 5.
Note that the 5 holes are spread over a fairly large distance and therefore do not all benefit from the resistance.

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: Long
  • Quality of the present drip-tip: Medium (not very pleasant in the mouth)

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

The drip tip provided is imposing very imposing and for me is not very connected with the atomizer, mail it has the merit of being present which is not the case on much more expensive atomizers.

  • Presence of a box accompanying the product: Yes
  • Would you say that the packaging is up to the price of the product? Yes
  • Presence of a user manual? No

Vapelier's note on packaging: 2 / 5 2 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

The atomizer is delivered in a cardboard box with foam housing, nothing to say on that side.
Note that it comes with two pre-assembled micro coils, I advise you to use your own assemblies and not those delivered (we do not know where it is lying around)

Appreciations in use

  • Have there been any leaks after a day of use? Yes
