Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the Galaxies MTL Starter Kit 1400mAh from Vapefly. The Galaxies MTL Starter Kit was supplied for the purpose of this review by Fiona from Vapefly.

Introduction
The Galaxies MTL Starter Kit is a little vape pen style MTL set-up which combines the styling of the galaxies MTL series and the Nicolas MTL Tank. The Galaxies MTL tank has the same 9 different airflow settings and plug in style coils which we saw with the Nicolas while very much having a Galaxies look to it. The first or second review i did was of the Vapefly Nicolas and i rate it highly when using the 0.6ohm BVC coil which is ideal for the loose MTL vape i like and it also gives cracking flavour. The Galaxies MTL Tank comes with the same Nicolas 0.6ohm coil pre-installed and both Nicolas coils are compatible with the Galaxies, it also see's the introduction of the mesh 0.5ohm MTL Galaxies coil head, also included in the Kit. The device features 2 different constant output levels for a consistent vape that suits and the option of using the device in bypass. The little pocket friendly device punches above it's weight with a 1400mAh battery and comes in 4 colours, let's give it a look!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Galaxies MTL Kit came in the familiar style of cardboard packaging that recent Vapefly products have come in and on opening i found i had received the Stainless Steel version. The different colour options are, Stainless Steel, Black, Gunmetal and Rainbow, if the Stainless Steel version is anything to go by and also studying the online pictures then all Galaxies tanks match the colour of the batteries perfectly. When i first saw a few pictures of this kit the battery appeared to have a curved lined groove design on it but on the Vapefly website, vendor outlets and certainly the one i received seems to suggest this appearance has been ditched for a smooth plain look. As mentioned the device is very plain looking with just an elongated oval fire button with LED surround and micro USB port on the reverse, we also have safety stamps etched on the base but no branding on the battery section whatsoever.
The Tank has "GALAXIES" carved into the airflow control ring and also on the control ring we have a slot and single hole for airflow adjustment. The tank has a chamber with attached air pipe which is visible through the glass tube and the top-cap is domed with lined groove effect. Up top we have a MTL delrin drip tip which is a 510 fit but most 510's won't fit as i will explain later. At only 121mm high from the base of the battery to the top of the drip tip and 19mm in diameter it's a nice pocket friendly size and is very light (it feels Aluminium Alloy, but i could be wrong). The build quality is very good with all threading and machining being of high quality.

It's Various Parts
The main section of the tank is a chamber with attached air pipe which the coil gets press fitted into. The glass is fitted over this chamber section and is sealed and secured in place by a very broad o-ring so while filling the glass will stay securely in place. The top-cap gets screwed onto the tank via the central threading on the air pipe and the top of the glass is sealed and secured by another o-ring.
Up top we have a 510 delrin MTL drip tip but the bottom section that fits into the top-cap is shorter than usual and the hollow in the top-cap is also shallow to match, i have tried a few other 510's and they fit tight enough but gap by between 1-2mm so actually i would class it has a proprietary 510 fitting, luckily the supplied drip tip looks the part and is comfortable between the lips.
Finally we have the base section which gets screwed to the bottom of the chamber section. Looking inside the base section we can see the positive plate and when looking at the underneath we have printed safety stamps, branding and a Gold plated 510 that sits almost flush. The base section also has the airflow control ring which i will cover in a later section.

The Coils
The coil heads just get press fitted into the chamber where they are sealed both top and bottom with o-rings. So simply unscrew the base section, push the coil head in place then screw the base section back on the tank. The specs are written on the coil heads but no material but i have always assumed (and pretty sure i'm right) that they are kanthal.
Pre-installed we have the Nicolas 0.6ohm coil which i use to buy in packs of 5 as once the Nicolas was the tank i used most before i started DL vaping more and then moved to RTA's, this coil is rated at 18W to 25W and i always used it at 25W with a very loose MTL draw and both flavour and coil longevity was impressive. Despite using this coil at it's high wattage rating with a loose draw when experimenting i found it to be very versatile and also performed well at much lower wattage with a tighter draw despite being 0.6ohm.
The other included coil is the Galaxies 0.5ohm Mesh coil head with a rating of 15W to 23W which is the coil head i used for testing. Don't be fooled by the sub-ohm coils and quite high wattage ratings for MTL the narrow bore on these coils make them true MTL and there is no way you can DL with them.
The Nicolas 1.8ohm coil head which i only used the one that came with the Nicolas and then stuck with the 0.6ohm coils will also fit this so i can only conclude that vapefly don't mention this in the marketing because when testing they found this coil head doesn't suit the set-up so well or it might simply be a oversight.

Filling
The Galaxies has a wide open fill method which is quick and convenient but a couple of tips need following else you quite possibly will flood the coil.
First i always close the airflow before unscrewing the top-cap, then simply fill between the glass and air pipe. Then you screw the top-cap back on turning until it just slightly tightens so you have a liquid seal then turn upside down before finishing tightening to create a vacuum, now you can re-open the airflow and after giving the cotton time to saturate start vaping.
