Hello everyone, perhaps a beginner’s post might be interesting too.
When choosing my first mod, opinions were important. But they differed drastically. Well, this did not reflect its usability or quality. Perhaps an assembly error, perhaps something else, but surely there’s better, surely there’s prettier, yet I think they deceived me! The negative posts. It was good to stick to my gut feeling! I bought it as a set with the Zenith II tank.
Externally, we fundamentally get a beautifully crafted device and tank. Hats off. Since it’s my profession, I can see how it can be manufactured economically in large series. I can say they didn’t cut corners for pennies… The battery cap’s small nub is well-executed. The position of the flip-out nub could have been more decisive, but it’s great even like this. This is a matter of taste. I don’t know what idea the manufacturer was guided by, but they also included magnetic battery removal in the cap. It remains to be seen if it was a good idea at Vasas. The bottom doesn’t attract filings; it has holes.
The split leather on the body is very nice and comfortable. I like the grip and weight. The mod body consists of several parts; there’s a slight deviation in the lines, but it’s not disturbing. The Gun Metal color is nice, though its name is less fitting, as gunmetal is usually bronzed. It’s a device with a firm grip in hand. The buttons, USB-C, and display are all perfect. I’m looking for a USB-C cover if I can find one. The Zenith II tank was well-assembled. I was in a hurry, rushing for the year-end closing. It had time to soak, not just 5 minutes. The package also includes an O-ring set. And 2 drip tips. The drip tips are also nicely O-ringed there, well, yes, what is the material of the O-ring? Silicone by the look of it. I accept material suggestions—I’ll make the drip tip myself, in whatever shape I want. ((P6(G,66) is excluded)) <ULTEM-the manufacturer even writes it).
The tank heats up. A little. Everything does, really. It is summer heat, after all. Refilling is similar, so we can’t avoid a battery charger. The “don’t charge in the mod” rule is completely justified. The display and menu are understandable. Its operation is great. I miss the physical power switch. One with a decisive action. The liquid in the first tank I filled was tasty. Pineapple. Here comes the drawback of the large tank. Because it’s becoming unpleasant. So, I won’t get away with buying another one. The airflow is different after the Wape Wick pod; I don’t like it. It should be tighter, or rather, have a larger closure. Its workmanship, however, is excellent. From a professional perspective, it can be efficiently manufactured on a Y+B axis (B is a turret with many tools, and it also rotates), with 2 rev. heads, counter-spindle, and wire-feeding lathe. It can be beautified with the Torwall process, then coating, assembly… The rest is done by robotic machining.
It’s clear there’s plenty of engineering and blue-collar work in it.
The first experience was intense. Of course, I read about it afterward. Yes, I charged the battery in the mod. With my smallest adapter.
The liquid choice wasn’t good, 50/50 pineapple. Intense flavor, due to the 50/50. Yes, a well-matched blend. You can feel the sharper, more acidic part of the pineapple. However, the taste becomes irritating after a while. I need another tank. Maybe even more.
The buttons are adequate; perhaps a physical fire button lock would have been nice. The screen is perfect, with a harder plexiglass (or polycarbonate) on it.
The mod’s material choice is good for cooling. It doesn’t spit liquid. The flavor is fuller than with a POD. And here’s where it becomes annoying after a while. 30 puffs, and I’m done. With a slightly stronger restriction, however, it will be great. So, the airflow is perfect for me, but a little restriction is needed to make it “analog,” meaning not so unusual.
I’d like a case because it can protect against scratches, which isn’t really true if it’s in your pocket and anything falls in, it will scratch, even under a case. In a work pocket, it would likely get scratched, so I need an ugly one too. This won’t be it. Let’s get used to each other.
And let’s not forget, there are good people here who help beginners, thank you.
