Received this morning my ELA 2 and Industrious (kidnapped by my customs, against more euros), 2 wicks # 325 mesh and 3 coils of test since with japanese cotton, 70% VG :
* wicks superbly, even with one of the test mesh shortened to the base , at the very first millimeter of the cut in the central pin, even with 1/5th of a tank and vertical vaping.
* definitly a candidate for warm low ohms builds, 0,7 or lower, (forget the purple and go for the outstanding new AW if you want to stay in 18500 size)
* but need some lenght of wire, omega tiger wires and 0,4 mm titanium wires are best suited than 'big' +0,5 mm kantahl IMHO. I will test twisted classic thin wires soon. I will too test it with an oxydized mesh as a pure genesis with thin wires, that's obvious for me
* special T airflow : you actually decrease the amount of air but it does not decrease in 'quality', unsure to be clear considering my poor english spoken (i assume everybody laugh when i post something on this forum..) Air stay dense even at wider position, the travel and coil covering may act more than only quantity found in 'direct' airflow as found on most drippers . To be tested further,
* 4 ml + capacity is a cool feature and totally adequate for the type of coils used,
* i don't even figure how the Industrious could leak,
* as expected since my first look at it in late 2012, the ELA is nicely complex and beautifully made, with reminiscence of some look 'codes' i like very much in (now) classic devices, i'll quickly purchase a 510 base for my 'knurled ring 23mm' mmvapors TNS, will certainly drive in18350 size and in style some very fine custom 16 mm genesis
i don't expect to add a flat switch, the original one is major part of the device use and look, and an incredible unique design on the market.
Due to the low ohm / big wires / 4 ml leakproof 'nomad' DNA of the Industrious, the ELA will be best fitted with 18650 batteries for me, setting up a very effective weapon indeed, usefull in this pre-civil war era down there ...
Considering the 30 USD shipping and the hungry UE import taxes, can someone explain me why i'v been enough stupid to don't purchase at the same time a 22mm , 16 mm slanted top caps and an additionnal knurled ring ?
