Disclaimer: Purchased from FT for personal use. My opinion is unbiased, aside from my own personal preferences and vaping style. Ordered from FT after seeing paulymeatballs slideshow review It took about 3 weeks, and came in the usual quality JT box, with 2 heads or 'discs' (both 0.5 Ceramic and a re-wickable MG), a spare tank, O-rings etc. It's a pretty nifty looking tank, with a good top fill (easy to squeeze juice into), good airflow (with a few raised mark to help move it around with some precision, and stiff enough to stay there) and looks good on me all black Pico (better without the silicon 'condom' on And on the Target Mini The DT is - different. It's one of the kinda fixed type with a 'sleeve' (either black delrin, or SS) which is a fairly wide, but can also fit most 510's - although they fit inside the stub of the pre-fitted one, exposing the o-rings (although i do have an old Titanium one that fits inside the 'sleeve' and looks good ) The heads are flat-ish discs - which are new - and seem to allow a slightly larger juice capacity than say the Cubis (which, aside from the Anyvape Furytank 2 has been my main stock coil tank in China). I'm using the MG (Mega?) head at the mo (reading 0.4) - and like most JT coils, starting at low W's (26W/3.6V - though needs some pre-firing to ramp up the coil) and cranking it up a little after each tank or 2 (currenly on 32.6W's or 4v) and really enjoying the vape. Flavour production is improved compared to the Cubis (which ain't bad), Vapour Production is excellent (especially for the low W's) and the topfill easy to squeeze and (so far) without leaks. I have found it possible to do either MTL or DI (MTL at lower W's with tiny airflow and DI cranked up with AF fully open) with the Ultimo, and like the fact that using a single battery mod, like the Pico, i can save on battery (and juice) by having it on low and MTL instead. No idea how long the discs will last, but with the Notch/MG being rewickable, should last a while - not sure about the Ceramic - will crack it open and have a go in a few days once i get around to wanting to play. Unlike paulymeatballs , mine didn't come with the RBA deck - and i haven't been able to locate one from EU vendors as yet - though FT have one i won't get it in time before heading back to China This is definitely something i'm interested in as i don't really like the Cubis RBA - and looks pretty easy (though don't they all LoL). Am i Happy thus far with - Absolutely! There are times i really enjoy a long, slow, MTL draw (23W/3.36V with a 2-3 second ramp time) - and other times i need a full on blast of DI vapour - and the Ultimo seems to be the best tank i've tried for both options! Pootled around Pompey to a couple of B+M shops, and they didn't have the Ultimo as yet - same with most online vendors. From FT i paid around £15 - an absolute bargain. OK the discs are an ickle more expensive than the Cubis ones - but if they last, and the MG being re-wickable - would seem to be worth it for the Vape quality, variety of MTL/DI options and Enjoyment factors! The replacement Discs on FT come in 3 'flavours' - 0.5 MG Clapton, 0.5 Ceramic and a 0.25 Notch - hopefully they'll be available in the UK soon (and China once i get back too!).

Only way i can receive my orders from FT directly LoL The Ultimo is swiftly becoming easily the tank i've most Enjoyed vaping from JT - and better than most of the RBA's i've tried (my builiding skills are only OKish). With the RBA deck and spare tank, it could well keep me happily vaping for the next year in China - now that i have at least found DIY juice supplies too

Not sure why that happens - but noticed it a lot recently - and can't seem to edit it either

Lets see if this one works.
ETA: Nope there has to be a block on them, I vaguely recall there being some issue with them, so perhaps that is the reason.

@broadblaster Cheers for the tips With the RBA (hopefully not being as fiddly for me as paulymeatballs found) it should keep me going - least until me Ma foewards spare heads from FT or i source some in China - the Ultimo should keep me happily vaping for a few months

Maybe an ickle drop once - but could've just been me being messy when filling the tank. Have had it lying on its side to give it a 'test' and nowt noticeable. Also not had the refill, then have to shake or suck slightly gurgly issue the Cubis seemed to have

Thanks for your review and input
