Right, I’ve had it for a week now and aside from the last few days, where I’ve been working and as much as I’d like to I decided against taking it to work on account of it size and in case it takes a knock!! :scream: I’m no reviewer but, other than a few niggles and learning curves, I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve either nearly forgotten to close the juice flow or forgotten to open it back up after filling :flushed: thankfully to no real tragedy but i kick myself every time lol!
Like I say there are a few niggles which I’ll get to… but I cant really find any fault with it, general maintenance such as re-wicking is an absolute breeze, I still haven’t tried the mesh deck but i should imagine if whim took me i could just drop out the coil deck and whack in the mesh deck and even drip a different flavour using it as an rda. Genius bit of design! Like I say I can’t find fault and have missed not using it the last couple of days :sleepy: and although it’s not a deal breaker the top fill cap is a bit of a pain, I understand that its got that big a thread fo the extension to fit snug and not come off but it does take forever to unscrew lol! And the washer in the top cap has fallen out a couple of times when refilling, easy enough to pop back in but slightly irritating all the same. Other than that I could not be happier brilliant bit of kit full of flavour and clouds galore!! :grin:

@MrMattUK I appreciate you taking the time to not only mention the niggles, but the other details as well. As far as the top cap ring, I haven’t had that happen yet, BUT, that’s PROBABLY because I’m mad squonking this thing. Thank you for taking the time to post up.

OK, ok, I DID take the glass out, but there’s just something SIMPLE about having 15ml just sitting there, waiting to be pumped in, at a 0.4ml rate.

Fabulous review and some amazing devices! That has got to be an ass kicking combo!!

Thank you very much @SmilingOgre. I was afraid by crossing the particle streams, and squonking WITH a filled tank might cause issues, but, hehe, you CAN fill and tank, and squonk at the same time !!!
