The
Draw
Air resistance was
much too light.I had to
block one of the two holes of the battery and tape over three of
the four holes of the atty thread (which are more difficult to
block with putty) before I could get a tight enough draw and also
nicely trigger the auto battery. Too many holes was also the cause
of annoying whistling noises. It took a lot of tweaking here to get
it right. And even so, the whislting noises did not entirely
go away.
Incidently, the atty cannot be used with a 901 battery because
those batteries do not have holes (the 901 atty has it's own hole),
so air would not get through.
The atty does however fit an adaptor for
the
'Indulgence' (a big battery mod) but again, much too much air gets
through, so you'll have to find a way of blocking those holes on
the thread.
Half a
tank of vaping later, I
saw some of the e-lquid had flowed into the inner tube. It's rather
similar to a flooded atty, when some of the liquid finds it's way
into the vapour path ('back-flow'), it causes gurgling and a
potential for the liquid to enter your mouth. Fortunately there is
a built in reservoir hidden within the silicon mouth piece for this
overflow (which is quite difficult to clean out). For the
liquid that get trapped inside the inner tube, the only way to
clear this was to give it a short blow. Again, I'm still not sure
wether this darker liquid was coming from the top section or from
condensation of the vapour.
Because
the atty is
incased in plastic, you can't hear the sizzle of the atty.

The Vapour
Vapour production
is noticeably more in
comparison with a stock DSE901(SLB) (I broke out a
new
901 atty to confirm this.)
It's a
slightly warmer
burn, which sure is surprising because while the stock 901 atty
resistance stands at 4 ohms, this atty measured out 4.4 ohms.
Thanks to the longer than standard battery and almost all-plastic
casing, the heat will not present much of a problem when holding it
for chain vaping sessions.
Again,
the plumes are
plentiful and 901 standard. Streams are nice and smooth (neither
powdery nor too fluffy) with occasional grey/green tinges. The
volume doesn't quite reach the amount you get from an LR atty, but
there was more than enough to keep me happy.
Taste
and
Throat hit
My regualr juice is Dekang Ry4 18mg.
Because
of the warmer
burn, you can get an initial kick of intense taste. But I still
needed to do a primer puff to achieve this (even with a manual
batt).
The
blend of 'sweetness'
and 'darkness' is similar to the 901, only more intense. This is a
good sign, as it does not emphasize the sweetness too much unlike
some other atties.
Like
the 901, the intake
is smooth, there's no harshnesss. The throat hit is also warm and
smooth, I just wish it could squeeze out a tad more flavour, which
would make it perfect, but at this stage it is already doing better
than the 901.

More
Don't
forget this
is far from an LR atty, it's feels warmer than 901 but it's
definietely in the 'cooler' class of atties so it won't overtax
your batteries. On this note, the atty rarely gets too hot to touch
because of it's plastic construction.
On top
of that, refills
will be a lot less since a full tank holds about 1.5 ml, that would
be the equivalent of about 4 or 5 cartridge refills.
There
is no indication of
leakage at the bottom although during the trials liquid was able
find it's way out the inlet holes, especially when occasionally
blowing to clear the inner tube of liquid.
