UnBoxing for now, Review will follow

Opening the box i was quite impressed with the atty, although it is a clone all the parts are SS, i did the magnet thing with even the small screws and they all seem SS

In the box you get the Platic tank, the small allan key (SS) Spare screw spare ceramic cup, spare o-rings some Kanthal and some wick

Also included are the solid SS Work base. A nice Rose emblem laser etched on one side and a tool for opening the bottom of the atty for cleaning on the other side. A normal 510 thread on the top helps with building, this can be used as a nice small building station. It is quite heavy and will not run around when you work on your atty. On the bottom there is a hole that the driptip fits into so that you can stand the top of the atty upside down so that you can fill it easily.

As i said the review and build will follow in time just need to get things sorted after a week away :)

All in all i like the look of The Rose, with it's brushed finish it works very nice on the brushed Nemmy

Edit: that is a piece of cotton on the base and not a scratch :)

Taking it apart:

Let me just start by saying please excuse my cell phone photo's. i hope you can see what i will be talking about. If not please ask

This is The Rose in all her glory with the polycarbonate tank, the only thing i can fault here is the very small size difference between the tank and the rest of the SS body. You cannot see it, well i cant with my eye's, but you can feel the small seem. With the SS tank that little difference is not there and the body is perfect.

Broken down into the tree main parts you are wow'ed by the quality of this clone. Like i said before all the parts i did the magnet test on in SS. The threads are very well made with no burrs. When taking the tank section apart just make sure you have it right side up, the threads are different on the side that screws into the tank and the side that screws into the base.
On the far right is the reduced vaper chamber with the driptip. It is one piece so you cant fit your own driptip, but i must say it is very comfortable.

Braking the building deck apart some more, you find a collection cup that you can open to clean. It has a adjustable copper 510 pin that screws into a solid SS plate that in turn connects to your positive lead. You will also find the adjustable air flow control here with full open you get a 2mm opening and you can reduce it to your liking.

The building base with the driptip section on. The whole juice flow control got me to pull the trigger on this, apart from the stunning looks.
You can turn the driptip with the tank attached and the more you unscrew the driptip the more of the wick is exposed and the more juise you will let onto the coil. Excess juice can flow through the air hole (underneath the coil) and collect in the collection cup.

Workmanship on this is very good, the threads are very smooth everything just looks good. There are no visible machine marks (as you find on a lot of clones)

Just make sure after cleaning the first time that you put a little e-juice on the treads and the o-rings. This will make them last a bit longer

The build and final word will follow later today, or i will post in the next day or so

Awesome! Thanks @kimbo ! I like the look.
Does the Rose use resistance wire and non resistance wire or only resistance wire?

Just resistance wire, some youtube vids say that they had some difficulty with the thinner wire. I will use 28g and apparently The Rose was made for that
 
Awesome thread @kimbo

Loving the effort you have made to take pics and share your thoughts on the design and build.

Looking forward to hearing about how she vapes :D
 
Looks like it @BumbleBee i am just scared of that "minor parts may made by non-SS"

minor is chinese translation for most important that you don't want to break but will :p
looks like a nice tank there, almost looks like a protank that had relations with a kayfun and they had rose babies. does it work like a kayfun? vacuum type setup?

@ET to be honest, my experience is very little with a kayfun. I have a clone from @devdev but never could coil that. The screws are very small and i cant trap the coil legs. The rose are very easy to fill, from the vids i saw on youtube the kayfun can be a bother to fill.

This is straight forward, unscrew the bottom and refill, screw back vape.
 
@kimbo

Looks like your Rose has a ceramic deck/inside area (not true deck I suppose) whereas the one from SlowTech seems to be all SS.

Congrats on what seems to be a good purchase and more importantly a good Vape.

Hi @Jimbo

Yea it has a ceramic cup that fits into the SS cup on the building deck. So your coil is in ceramic and have no way to short out.

In the spares you get one extra ceramic cup for spare.
 
Very informative review @kimbo, and it looks like a very nice atomizer, especially like the ceramic cap. :rock:
 
Based on your wicking method, I really think you should give bamboo wool a try. Cheap, consistent and wicks like a beast
