Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

The Hurricane exudes quality, both on the assemblies and on the quality of the materials used.

The gold-plated connections, the blocking at the end of the airflow ring race, the interior finish greatly contribute to the qualitative feeling.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

With almost 15 possibilities for the airflow, the Hurricane will have its place in the collection of each vaper. As well “tight” for a “tasty” vape, as well open for an airy vape. It is not you who adapt to the atomizer, it is the atomizer that adapts to your vape.

The assembly of a resistance is easy thanks to its deck (plate) well released and its wide assembly post, you can mount wire up to 0.60 section.

The beach of Hurricane is very wide and will not suffer in sub-ohm (0.25ohm for me without any worries)

Obviously depending on the chosen setting, the thickest juice will pass without any problem.

The chimney head ends in a very pronounced dome to accentuate the flavors.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

The Hurricane is meant to be easy to use and it does it perfectly well. No need to empty the atomizer to access your assembly. The filling in the Taifun Gt way is very simple.

The mounting plate is wide and unencumbered once the tube is removed, tube simply slid and held by a oring (o-ring).

The mood ticket of the reviewer

Since the time we hear about this atomizer, I was really eager to test it. It's done.

While taking the basics of the excellent Taifun Gt, the Hurricane manages to do even better (wider chainring, 24k gold-plated connections and airflow with multiple settings). Designed and manufactured in Switzerland, the Hurricane does not suffer from any defect, whether in design or in the pleasure of vaping. Too bad, however, that the stainless steel tank is an option billed at 26 €, we would have liked to have it native especially given the price of the atomizer but for the rest (apart from the price) it is flawless.

The rendering of flavor is an example to follow, it's fine, round, powerful, in short it's good !! As comfortable in tasting as in subohm, the Hurricane is the atomizer for all situations.

If there were only one left, it would be the one (no reference to Lara Fabian but rather to Hugo 😀)
