Reviewer comments on business characteristics
AllianceTech Vapor hits hard with "The Flave" which, as its name implies, is a flavor-oriented dripper proposed in single coil on a base of 24mm.
Its appearance is elegant, sober and rather original with the top of the top-cap benefiting from a shoulder which makes it narrower, thus increasing to 21mm in diameter. Its height is also quite surprising since the Flave is very compact and therefore has a very small evaporation chamber.
The airholes are medium in size and adjustable simply by rotating the cap. The pine is also adjustable and interchangeable with a pin for bottom feeding delivered native, both are gold plated to prevent oxidation.
The novelty on this atomizer is undoubtedly the tray. Carefully machined, the studs take up half the space and fill the base so as to leave only a large central channel dug in the mass. On the edges of this channel, notches make it possible to considerably simplify assembly.
I invite you to discover together how the Flave was designed and the advantages that it brings, because they are more than appreciable.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
The Flave is made of stainless steel, the top-cap is not very high but made of enough material to give it all the strength it deserves.
On the upper part of this top, the already mentioned chamfer extends over a height of 5mm (height of the drip-tip inlet connection) for a wide opening of 14mm allowing a glimpse of the assembly. At the same time, it decreases the evaporation chamber and gives it a big advantage in use for aromatic concentration.
On either side of this element, two cyclops holes, of 5mm on 2mm, are superimposed with the openings located on the edges of the plate, directed directly on the coil. This airflow is adjustable by swiveling the heading that reduces more or less the opening, depending on your editing and the expected rendering.
On the base, two joints of average size ensure the seal and a perfect maintenance of the top-cap.
The plate, machined in the mass, offers a magnificent work with superbly polished notches. The facing studs are located on the edges of the atomizer. They are massive and fill half of the space, leaving a large rectangular space in the center of the top of 8mm by 19mm (internal size) for a depth of 6mm to the airholes. The space for e-liquid is therefore quite substantial with a capacity of approximately 0.5ml.
We can see the extent of the peek insulation which ideally protects the positive stud and its size, much larger than on all the other drippers, seems to prohibit any deformation in the long run. It molds the positive stud perfectly up to half of the board. As for the negative pad, it has an engraving showing the serial number of the atomizer.
The two airholes are machined slightly at an angle. This detail is not really obvious to the eye but when you switch, you can see the inclination of the steam coming out in the direction of the slope. This machining trick amplifies, facilitates and improves the flavor effect of the Flave.
On the board, opposite the studs and in the continuity of the channel, the edges of the atomizer have a notch on each side. These extremely practical devices make it easier to install the coil while keeping the support while setting up your resistance.
Under the atomizer, two clearly visible engravings tell us about the batch number and the name of the product. The pin is a screw, adjustable via a flat screwdriver, and gold plated to prevent oxidation and the loss of conductivity that goes with it. Just like the Bottom Feeder pine, delivered with the accessories, which has undergone the same treatment.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
This atomizer is mainly focused on flavors, its name attests to the desire of its designers to have made it their main objective. However, the airflow is sufficient to also have direct inhalation and to offer the possibility of vape in sub-ohm. However, although it is very easy to coil this dripper, it imposes certain limits to keep its real asset of "flavored dripper".
The Flave is designed for a single resistance and even if the cloud is not its main characteristic, one can however obtain a very dense vapor according to the resistive used thanks to its small size, the machining of its airholes and the low size of the top-cap which direct and constrain the steam.
The accepted wire diameters are generous since the Kanthal in 0,6mm passes without any difficulty. But be careful with complex wires because, even if the coil passes quite easily, the atomizer itself is not too suitable for this type of assembly.
Another feature, the BF pin allows you to vape on suitable boxes by changing the pin and therefore to benefit from the autonomy you want.
Overall, we could summarize its functional characteristics in a few keywords: flavors, simplicity, practicality, mono-coil and bootom feeder.
Drip-Tip Features

- Presence of a Drip-Tip? Yes, the vaper can immediately use the product
- Length and type of drip-tip present: Short
- Quality of the drip-tip present: Very good
Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip
The drip-tip is quite short, of this yellow color that gives it the use of Ultem, a particularly heat-resistant polymer. Straight in shape, it offers suitable comfort in the mouth. It has a corolla at its base which, once in place, rests on the top-cap and calms the thermal activity of the steel. Its opening remains appreciable and will be equally suitable for direct or indirect inhalation.
Ultem dissipates heat very well, but the material seems a bit fragile. Still, the material's weight / strength ratio ranks it among the best and allows it to be used in aviation or automotive construction. Something to reassure the most skeptical ... The thickness of the drip-tip finally convinces me and greatly reduces the heat effect on the lips. In addition, when you remove the drip-tip, it leaves a very large opening on the assembly to feed it if you are not using bottom feeding. Therefore, this large thickness is welcome for the many manipulations that will be carried out.

Vapelier's note on packaging: 2 / 5 
Reviewer's comments on conditioning
Packaging is a big standard. Delivered in a black box and surrounded by dense foam, the dripper is well protected.
Like many products of this type, no instructions are provided. Certainly, I am not sure that it is necessary, but this dripper can also be addressed to beginners in rebuildable, I think that basic information would have been appreciable.
Under the foam, a bag of accessories appears, consisting of five joints, an additional screw for the studs and the famous BF pin.
The set is sufficient and correct even if, for the price, we can always dream of better than the standard.

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 5 / 5 
Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
Given the number of pieces, it is not difficult to open and close the atomizer. In use, the only small complexity is to coiler your resistance and even that, you will realize that it is the easiest atomizers ever proposed to date on this plan.
I tested two assemblies with resistors of different values (1.25Ω and 0.6Ω). For each one of them, I used kanthal A1, in 0,4mm for the first one then in 0.6mm for the second one. To have a balanced heating surface and occupy the space offered in the room while respecting suitable resistive values, I opted for a support of 3mm diameter with 10 turns, for both montages.
After winding my turns on the support, it is very simple and especially fast to put it on the notches to fix the legs of the resistance. Even with the 0.6mm kanthal, I did not need to remove the screws. These manipulations do not require more than 3 minutes and you get a straight assembly in the axis of the channel and flush with the studs. It only remains to appreciate the result.
For the first assembly in 1.25Ω, I had to reduce the airflow a little, even if I kept the direct inhalation. The flavors are good, but to my taste the vapor is not hot enough and its volume, while okay, lacks density. This probably comes from my habits because the result is really very good and will easily convince vapers in indirect vape by obscuring the airflow a little more.
The second montage with the kanthal of 0.6mm, pushes me to increase the power. Finally I have a vape for my taste, the steam is a little hotter and is thick and bulky. The whole sublime my e-liquid with very precise aromas, sweet and saturated by this small room that concentrates the flavors to perfection.
The two assemblies remain interesting in the sense that the first will be more suitable with fresh or fruity e-liquids, while the other may be more appropriate for e-liquids with tobacco, gourmet or dried fruit flavor. Likewise, direct or indirect vaping, each user will be able to find his happiness and appreciate the fabulous result.

The mood ticket of the reviewer
The Flave is aptly named, “flavor” in English means flavor and that's exactly what this dripper offers: excellent flavors. A simple easy and quick coil assembly that takes place in less than five minutes to give the best of what we can expect from the vape. As much for fresh, fruity liquids as for more autumnal or gourmet juices.
This little dripper has everything for him, the sober look in stainless steel and the touch of color by the drip-tip, which raises the mischievous aspect of a living product that is easily tamed. Its machining is perfect and each piece worked with care.
Admittedly, its price will not make it accessible to all but it seems to me coherent in view of the result. It is a product that will not disappoint, whether you are a beginner in the reconstructable, seasoned flavor-chaser, fan of cloud or cushy vapor, it will undoubtedly please.
