Its here!
Here is a side by side shot of the original iteration of the 2.0-ohm@3.7v KISS (left), and the new 1.0-ohm@3.7v GR2 Ti KISS (right):
As you can see, the tip of the MP is slightly different, leading to a shorter overall profile. I cant say I'm bothered by this in the slightest. Also, it appears that the cone portion of the new cart is denser and/or thicker than the older (updated, not original) MP. Again, I cant say I am bothered by this either.
Aside from that, you will notice that UP Tech is now labeling the voltage on the outside of the carts. A good common sense safety measure to be sure, especially if you have both the 3.7 and 7.4v carts!
Here's an overhead shot of the exposed heater. Note how many loops the coil makes on this version:
I also notice that the wick appears to be more porous than the old version from what I remember (although as you can see in the picture I cant really compare!). This is somewhat confirmed by watching how small dabs of super clear concentrate (seriously, I used Clear Concentrates.... clear concentrate) gets soaked into the wick after heating. It absorbed quite a bit IMO, and this is something you may want to take into account? Perhaps after more people use these we can determine if any "priming" is beneficial?
Also, for sure the wick/coil has been lowered so that it sits closer to the air hole underneath (and thus the bottom of the ceramic cup).
Now for an action shot!
You might see here that only the top 3 loops really heat up, and out of those 3, the center is by far the hottest. Not sure why this is, however it remained as such until the auto timer cut the power. In any case, I suggest new users do this for two reasons; First, you get to see where the "hot spot" is. I would imagine this is probably where you want to load most of your concentrate. Secondly, I did see a tiny puff of grey smoke come off the coils and/or wick as soon as I hit the power. Nothing major to be sure, however I'm glad I didn't load a dab on there right off the bat.
...speaking of which, here is a dab of that Clear Concentrate I was referencing earlier in the post:
Aww... look how pretty! All loaded up and ready to go.
So what now then?
