Well done Ogre!! Just curious what you said at the end? Iām guessing, good bye or until next time. Anyway stellar review , I enjoyed the video!!

Nice review!
Dig the new āmagic fade inā into the chair. 
A few personal observations if I mayā¦
A. Itās impressive that it actually has a strong enough boost circuit to hit the 218w mark! (thatās a pretty nice advance for a chip in use by one of 'the big manufacturers", but Iāve kind of held Aspire in higher regard than Eleaf, Wismec, etc for a little while now.)
B. One trend Iāve kind of started to notice in the āspecs sideā of your reviews is that youāve gone through the āmax achievableā for the 4 given test coils: 0.18, 0.27, 0.53, 1.03.
While this is niceā¦ I would like to suggest carrying that just a step further. The reason being, Iām curious to know if itās a result of the ābrick wallā effect, or if thereās scaling going on.
What I mean by this is: "Is the chipset is as accurate as it āappearsā, or is there a funky effect that you have to keep in mind (as an end user).
To illustrate what Iām trying to say, letās use a frame from your video. The most obvious choice (to make use of the āwidest gapā) is the ā1.18ohmā coverage at 12:40 into the video. Even though you had the device set to max output (210w), and you achieved 9.64v out of it (again, amazing) it had a cap of 79w. If you take the mod settings down to 79w, using the same ā1.18ohmā coilā¦ Are you in fact going to observe the same traits (and output)? If yes, then thatās what I was referring to as the ābrick wallā condition, and IMO, would be the ideal functioning of a chip. If it scales down, and you donāt get the same results, then that to me would be worth knowing, as it would seem to be indicative of āstrange things afootā.
But thereās also a second phenomena going on with the āaccuracyā of reading the coils (where you saw the gap between 1.03 being read at 1.18) to keep in mind. In which case, I would probably lean more towards trusting whatever test results you get during the 0.53 comparisons. (seen at 12:22 during the 210w test, with 9.32v, with 174w actual output)
Honestly, this is all for rather āeducationalā purposes, as IMO the only use for a 1ohm coil is MTL. And thereās no sane reason I can think of for any MTL user to be anywhere remotely near 80w.
However, to me (in my way of thinking) it may point to other aspects worth looking into in areas that it may apply (of things to look out for). All depending on results above of course. 
For the record, this isnāt the first mod Iāve thought about this, but it is the first time Iāve shared the thought.
What do you think my good man?
Worth trying?

Thank you @Eddie! Much appreciated! You are correct, I said good bye in Italian, german, and russian. You knew that all along!

Glad you enjoyed it @anon96069639! It does do a nice job with the TC. Not quite as nice as your Smoantās (IMHO) but damn close. Yes sir, I took some liberties since I bought the thing. I agree, itās a friggin box for Godās sake. But Iām sure you are right, some will miss it.

Very much appreciate the extended commentary @Sprkslfly! I do like the concept of testing those āceilingā outputs to see if they are held throughout the entire upper range. I kind of doubt they are just due to the the one test I did with the .17 Ī© coil at both 210W and 100W. The 210W setting was high and the 100@ low. So for sure there is a non linear scaling of some sort happening. Obviously Iām not sure how that translates at voltage saturation and in this case above. I will do these extended tests and get back to you. For the video itself I feel compelled to keep it short, you know āif youāre gonna make a hit, you gotta make it fit and you cut it down to 3:05ā. Moreover, I do agree, I would rather see hit a brick wall limiter and hold than perform non linear scaling. Having said that for the average user real world experience that number labeled watts is rather arbitrary and at least relative. Start low and work up till itās hot enough.

I almost started to say āIām not implying you should mess with the videoā or something similar.
But Iād hoped youād infer that from my āitās more for academicā¦ā comment.
Sorry if you thought I was implying it āfell shortā. That wasnāt intended in any way. You continually do great work man!

Not at all. I was absorbed in thinking about your observations.

Great review as usual @SmilingOgre and a great looking mod you have there. I assume the fancy looking pen for the touchscreen was not included?
Oh but I will
I 100% agree on that one and never understood the elaborate box reviews. As long as it protects the item inside from damage during shipping I couldnāt care less

Thanks Jose! The pen was free. One of those promotional gift ad, thingies. Wonderful tool for Ogres with Ogre fingers.

Thanks for the review, Aspire have been in the game for ages, I used to own a pen mod made by them, the speeder is also a really nice mod.

Thanks for the watch! I agree with the speeder. Find myself using that a lot. Decent company in my books.

An exceptionally groovy review Mr. Ogre! That sure is a stylish and classy mod.

Thank you my friend. Those are my thoughts as well. Not hard to look at, at all.
