This fan would like the enjoyment and fun of DIY and unexpected vaping pleasure.
...but does it exceed the sky of time?
This thing looks like it might be a gimmicky piece of junk. Not saying it is... ...there are just a lot of odd design choices that I'm not understanding the rationale behind.
That deck layout is very strange. I'd buy it just to see what kind of builds it would lead me to come up with. Vertical quads anyone? But really, it's about as silly-looking as it is interesting. That layout just screams "excessive" to me.
A major concern for me is deck airflow. Not much going on between those coils with that wall of posts up there. That aside, I'm a little confused about the airflow, in general.
Is it your standard, Sapor-style top airflow? Or is it...? I'm guessing there's something unique going on there for them to put a 30mm barrel on a 22mm atty. Does the airflow from the intake run down outside of the actual chamber in between the walls of that weird barrel that they're calling an 'atomiser tube"? It could be going in from the sides and down to the bottom of the deck in sort of a "W" shape... ...but why? Seems kinda redundant... ...like an overly-elaborate bottom/side-airflow atty disguised as a bulky top-airflow one.
Now, if it went the other way around... ...as in: from the top intake to the inner chamber, down to the bottom, up through the outer chamber, and into the mouthpiece, it would be really interesting... ...the winding airflow could actually work as sort of a diffuser. No sputtering, no direct heat coming off of the coils. It has to travel in a full circle to get to you. It's too bad that isn't what they did.
It almost looks like there's a single opening for airflow through the top on one side, and another opening through the bottom on the other. Like, it follows a spiraling path down to the inner chamber. That would be pretty neat, I guess. But wouldn't that also mean that only one coil gets direct airflow? lol
Really hard to tell what exactly it is by the pictures and the description. Wish they would just get a native-English-speaker to translate. At the very least, they could have made some diagrams showing how the airflow works.
"By rotating the airflow control ring, you can adjust the airflow and get different vaping experiences." Great, so it's adjustable.
Maybe the clear chamber serves no purpose other than to be there and look fancy. Makes about as much sense as anything else. I dunno. Maybe I'm just not seeing it. Perhaps my imagination is lacking and I just can't comprehend how innovative it is.
I like how one of their selling points is "It has o-rings." Yep. O-rings.
TL;DR - What the fuck am I looking at here?

I see they include a standard body with a more conventional side airflow, might be a reason for that. If it follows the price point of recent releases I might have to get one just to satisfy curiosity.
The nucleus rda had a similar post structure and worked great. Building on it was breeze. I'm assuming that they're trying to reduce the size of the chamber to try in create a better flavor?
Pretty much where I'm at with it.
Looking at it it again, the airflow does indeed go through the top and through the outer chamber before entering the atomizer chamber through the bottom. It has single and dual airflow options. I don't really see the benefit to that. I guess its supposed to induce a cyclone effect.
Perhaps. But I think the nucleus kept it more reasonable. There was at least more room on the sides. This one has posts that extend almost all the way out to the edges. I don't think it would've hurt the flavor to have them shrunk-in towards the center a little. I have shorty RDA's with more chamber space and they're already great flavor vapes with plenty of heat.
Whatever. If its cheap, I'll nab one for the novelty factor. Don't really see myself using the 30mm barrel. The deck layout is the most interesting part.
