So, what do I think about this tank? Good question!
Upon seeing the tank through the clear plastic box it immediately caught my eye and i really like the pattern look of the tank, It reminds me of a mesh coil which is what we are going for here using the Mesh coils.
Fitted the atty to my Drag and wanted to open the tank but it was so tightly closed that i could not get the bottom part off to get to the coil. So i gripped it with small pliers after removing the top cap and managed to get the tank separated. I then primed the coil and must say that these coils house a lot of cotton, its super thick and just filling the tank will take forever to prime the coil. To speed up the process, i closed the airflow and took a couple of drags without firing the coil which primed the cotton in 2 drags.
The Tank design and over-all build quality is really good and the machine work is done great...BUT..i really do not like the drip tip used and think they should have rather used a smooth resin type tip instead of using the same pattern because it really feels weird on your lips when vaping, like kissing someone with very dry and cracked lips. The drip tip also feels sharp on your lips.
Flavor on this tank isnt exceptional but isnt bad but i cannot compare it to the recently released mesh coil attys. The recent GEMM disposable tank has better flavor than the mesh coils of this atty but still its not bad. The coils are able to run comfortably between 40W to 90W without getting dry hits and would recommend using this coils at around 80W, lower that that the flavor starts dropping alot.
My Pro's
- Good build quality
- Smooth and clean threads
- Nice aesthetics
- Large fill ports
- No Leaks
- Wide variety of color options (Carbon, Resin and Metal)
- Different finish options
- Good flavor and vapor production
- Long-lasting coil heads
- Includes matching 810 resin drip tip
- Mouth feel when vaping due to the pattern, feels like kissing someone with dry lips lol
- Tank must be empty to replace coils otherwise you will spill liquid
- Drip tip should be smooth resin instead of the pattern design as it feels sharp
- Some cotton taste at first as well as a metalic type taste and im not sure if this is the tank of the coil.
Filling Up on Juice:
As per the website, we have the procedure to fill the tank which is very simple. Need to make sure that the bottom part is nice and tight to the base other wise when removing the top cap the bottom part scews loose due to the grip of the seals.
Components:
Here we see the tank (although the resin version) stripped and all its components.
The following Colors are available:
So, would I buy one? Dont think so..Perhaps the Fireluke M Pro or a resin version of this yes, but not this specific version.
