So, as promised , here is my post on the bottom airflow Avocado 24, which I just built and am vaping for the first time .
So here is my new Avocado 24 bottom airflow, all built with my usual setup, and one of my absolute favorite juices, Grimm Green signature line, VLOG Day...COIL IS a 2x parallel Clapton build...6 wraps of a 2x 26g /36g kanthal , paralleled with 5 wraps of 26g /36g Ni80. 0.30 ohms . Vaping it @66.6 (well...cuz METAL! ) Lately, This has been my go to single coil setup. I have the wicks hanging about 2 mm below the build deck, so they are just visible through the tank. I of course have the chamber reducing ceramic block installed on top of the silicone plug. Dual airflow setting , about half open.
A few first impressions are that the airflow is super smooth . Much smoother than both previous versions, and smooth with any airflow setting. The AF ring moves super easily , and didn't need any lube , and stays in place once set. The o ring tolerances are OK, I could go fir a little more of a tight tolerance on the rings that hold on the top cap. The drip tip tolerance with the plastic cuff is just perfect though. Smug as as bug, but removable without stress, just as it should be. The entire top cap can be removed by grabbing the drip tip. Haven't used the 510 adapter yet, will report on that later . Lastly, no leaking whatsoever so far, and have had it sitting on my chest on its side as iI am laying down in bed watching tv, typing this up on my tablet .
This thing has been nothing short of stellar so far in the half tank I have Vaped. So my first impression is two thumbs up! It was a cinch to install, and I like the deck size . It is a tad larger than the original avocado 24, with a few mm more distance between the 2 posts. I have the juice flow / wick hinge thingy wide open, and do not plan on adjusting this . Maybe ill toy with it in the future and report my findings , but it seems pointless in single coil mode at least . I can see how is lot is needed fir filling in dual coil mode, but I almost solely use my avocados in team single coil
Now as far as flavor goes, which its am sure everyone wants to hear about , it it's top notch. I think it's a minor improvement over the original 24mm, similar to that of the 22mm, maybe even better than the 22. I have my coil sitting just barely above the bottom airflow slot, with the entire air hole covered by the center of the coil . The airflow from the back via the ceramic block is passing directly over the top of the coil, hitting the top 50% of the coil surface area. I will test different coil mounting placements, and see which gives the best flavor, but given my building experience wit other bottom airflow rebuildables, I have a feeling this is going to be the optimal placement. Regardless, I will the l try it higher up, which will give more air coming from the back, via the block.
I will vape on this bad boy solely pretty much over the next weel or so, as my all day banger and report back to you guys on my thoughts for it then. But so far, after an hour of use with my first build, I am thoroughly enjoying it. Whoever said this thing isn't good is doing it wrong, because it it's great.
Well, thats all for now, all done with my edits, which was just to add this, and upload the pic of my build. Sorry they are a tad blurry, my tablet camera is trash, and my good canera is packed in a box (moving in a few days) ok guys, Cheers!
