Reviewer comments on business characteristics

At Ehpro you can go from one extreme to the other without any problem, as there is so much choice among atomizers, as well as everything related to vaping. Today it is an RTA (Rebuildable Tank Atomizer) in question, and more particularly a model a little against the general evolution, since it is an MTL , for "Mouth To Lung". An ato to vape tight in order to find the sensations of pulling cigarettes. We will therefore vape in two stages, unlike direct inhalation, first through the mouth and then to the lungs.

It's a trend that seems to be gaining a second wind, after years when this vape was confined to eVod, eGo and proprietary coil clearomizers in general, open to 1,2mm and up to 2 x 2mm (I think to the Aero Tank and its ringed AFC). We will see what certain advantages we can enjoy by opting for this type of atomizer, designed in partnership with Naturevape, a company from Norfolk, England, specializing in products for the vape. You should find it around 25 €.

Hear good people! Beginners and followers of cloud chasing, take a few minutes to learn about the existence of a material that allows an interesting vape in many ways!

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

In stainless steel SS, it is presented in black, or in the natural of this shiny metal, one can also find a blue version. With a diameter of 22mm, it adapts to the "old" generation of mods and boxes (eVic mini for example), for good discretion. Its unsupported weight, without juice is 46g and practically reaches 50g with its coil and the full in the cylindrical tank (2ml). The bubble tank (3ml) makes it, 25mm in diameter. The positive pin of the 510 connector (not adjustable) is brass.

 

The tanks provided with the illustration of the two possible looks.
The True is a carefully crafted, well-thought-out, well-finished object that combines discretion, ergonomics and efficient handling of functions.

It consists of four main pieces as described in these illustrations.

The base has a particularity of assembly that we will see below.

The top-cap and the heating chamber are solidary.

The airflow is adjustable in five positions using a rotating ring at the bottom of the base.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The assembly with one of the coils present is very simple for the habitués of the reconstructibles but also for the neophytes, it is enough a screwdriver (provided) and a cutting pliers to shorten the "legs" which will exceed the setting up .

 

The illustration shows the two possible coil tightening positions in the case of mounting at the level of the tightening screw; the coil will be slightly raised above the airhole “mouth”, this position seems preferable for Clapton Coil assemblies.



The ideal coil on this ato is 2,5mm of internal diameter, which leaves outside a volume of dissipation of steam from the sides and the top sufficient.

The insertion of the cotton is without problem. We will see below the different options of cotton thickness depending on the juice used.

Before going back up, soak your cotton generously.

The filling is done from the top, no parts to unscrew that could be dropped and lost, the system is convenient for fine droppers and a little less with pipettes or large droppers, but we get there.

The different options of openings of the vents.

The essential remains to come, after a quick overview of the elements present in the box, we will detail some situations of different vape that allows us this ato.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

The cardboard box has a cover that lets you see the inside through a clear plasticized window, it includes a security code or authenticity and a QR code that takes you to the site ofEhpro to check if your purchase is an original. A semi-rigid foam perfectly keeps the parts included.

Inside we find:

True atomizer mounted with cylindrical tank (2ml)
A Bubble Tank of 3ml
A box containing cotton, a spare Clapton coil, 6 spare O-rings, 2 clamping screws (coil clamping), a screwdriver (cross recess).
A clear user manual in French and two quality and warranty cards (SAV).

A warning probably mandatory (somewhere on the ball), appears on this recto / verso box, even though not a microgram of nicotine is present inside. An excess of caution, no doubt… A “fake advert” certainly.

Appreciations in use

  • Transport facilities with mod of test configuration: Ok for an inside jacket pocket (no deformations)
  • Disassembly and cleaning facilities: Easy, even standing in the street, with a simple tissue paper
  • Filling facilities: Easy, even standing in the street
  • Easy to change resistors: Easy but requires a workspace to lose nothing
  • Is it possible to use this product throughout the day with several vials of E-Juice? It will take a little juggling, but it is doable
  • Was there leak after one day of use? No

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

Let's come to the most important, can we vape on such an ato in 2019? I see a smirk on the face of the power vaper, for him, the question does not arise, it's niet! Indeed, if the vape means for you 15ml / day and non-stop production of cumulonimbus, this atomizer is of no interest. Cloud chasing enthusiasts have almost all gone through the tight vape and abandoned it. Fortunately, the vape is not confined to the recordmen of "conso / cloud" and the batteries / equipment that go with it. It is therefore for the vast majority of people that the True has been designed, and especially for newcomers to the vape, those who want to quit, keeping some sensations, tranquility without excess.

It is a reconstructible (word that does not seem to exist in French) that offers a first advantage, that of making your own coil, to adapt it as you visualize its needs and desires. For a few euros, you will buy either already rolled ready to mount, or you will choose to wind it yourself with a coil of resistive wire and thus, you will save money.

Another advantage is that it is a single coil, much less pointed to assemble than a double because you do not have to worry about the exactly similar construction of two separate coils. For this test, I chose to use the Clapton coil supplied, it is a wire with several strands (2 minimum) of which one is wound around the other like guitar strings, its name comes from elsewhere of a famous American guitarist: Eric Clapton. It is not very difficult to make, videos are circulating on the web about it.

Its design allows to vape very viscous juices like 20 / 80 PG / VG, I have experienced, it is quite possible under several conditions, however. You will have to make sure to design a minimum coil 0,8Ω, under this value dry hit problems will certainly occur with this type of juice. In general, this ato is not made to vaper below 0,7 Ω, unless you particularly like the hot vape and higher proportion juices in PG. Choosing the right amount of cotton is also important. With 20 / 80, your cotton must pass without forcing in the center of the coil, the "whiskers" that will drain the juice should not be tight in the chutes provided, you will acquire these configurations with experience.
With more fluid juices (50 / 50), the previous recommendations are more flexible because the capillarity of the cotton will be more effective, again, the control will come quickly from the experience.

You should also, and this is true for all atomizers, pay attention to the power adjustment, which you will be careful to configure starting with the low values, then rising gradually. Regulated boxes or dual battery mules (even triple) are proscribed as you can not play on the voltage (VV setting). The mechanical tubes (a battery) are possible at values ​​between 0,7 and 1Ω; using a single wire resistive to avoid pulse latency.

The vape in MTL to rediscover your juices.
This part of the evaluation will deal with hot juices such as tobacco and some greedy. Unlike direct inhalation, the tight vape gives the vapors time to savor their juice. The passage in the mouth where the taste buds are located will greatly influence your feelings. To exhale the vapor by the nose will finish to fully appreciate the tasting. The True allows thanks to these gradual openings to fine-tune the fine adjustments. Complex juices and those from macerates or absolutes require this style of vape to properly determine the nuances. Vape is also to estimate, compare, compare flavors of the same taste theme, to judge according to your tastes and adopt them, or even, for those who make them in DIY, to improve them.

Le True is probably not the ato best suited to fruity, minty juices that we are used to vaping cold, nor is it as "adaptable" as a good old dripper which allows all the vapes of the most hot tight to the freshest and airy but it has other small advantages, like the reserve of 3ml of juice which does not require to reload every 4 puffs. The filling is done without removing any part of the ato. It can be cleaned with hot water (40 ° C) and sodium bicarbonate, removing the o-rings. You can separate the deck from the base by unscrewing the positive pin, for a more in-depth cleaning.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

Since we are benefiting, let's continue. If you have correctly coiled True, closed the airhole, he will not flee, even loose in a bag. With such a draw, 3ml can make you the day, especially if you're new to the vape. Here it is on the Mini Volt VOC is bonzai set-up, for discretion, it's the top.

By car, you are not likely to find yourself with as much fog inside as outside, its modest steam production will also allow you to vape in populated places, without disturbing anyone, well, I stop there. It's just a nice tool that will complete your collection with its originality and for beginners who want to try the reconstructible, it is really easy to coil.

A good idea had this English, thanks to Ehpro to have taken the risk of making it, as well as to all those who propose it for sale.
A very good vape to you,
See you soon.
