I just thought this was interesting, and it was cheap, and I like quirky little MTL tanks ...... and it was cheap. 
As it turns out, I absolutely love it. It is a fiddly job putting it all together, and the single vertical coil was a pain to learn to get right (I'm afraid I only tried it in single as I have no interest in dual ..... but there is a different bit for the deck for dual coils), but it won't be that hard next time .... this was the learning curve. And I tend to like RDTA style decks, which this is - they vape quietly, and the flavour and quality of vape is usually good if they get it right. They got it right. And it can do a nice tight draw.
It's still really cheap on FT, and I'm chuffed to bits, if you can cope with the fiddly build it's perfect for tasting new juice as the flavour is spot on, and that means the big drawback of it being such a small tank doesn't matter. It's also quick and easy to fill. It says it takes 2ml on FT - yeah right ..... it's half the size ...... must have been a bloke who wrote that!

I thought it might help to show how it all works and do a build?
These are the bits:
The clear (PC?) tank bit actually clicks into the base - there's no o-ring, and the yellow plastic (PC?) hood clicks into the metal top of the chamber, airholes pointing any way, doesn't matter.
Once it's in, that thread you can see through the top is where the drip tip actually screws in, it's not a 510 drip tip.
The deck will screw on down through the 510, but don't do that until you've built and wicked it.
My build was my usual - 28 AWG kanthal coil on 2.5mm ID of 7 wraps, came out at 1.3 ohms. Make sure both legs go between the positive and negative and then bend each of them round 'outwards' to secure. If you try to take your legs round the outside of the posts you're likely to interfere with the plastic filler piece that goes on when you've built it,
And the coil needs to line up with the hole in the deck for the wick to go down. Yes, I know ....... it's not the neatest vertical coil ....... sorry!
Then screw the plastic bit onto the deck.
Trim the wick at the top so it's no higher than the plastic, and about half way down the 510 post under the deck. Mine probably looks more than it actually is because I Scottish roll my wicks so they're a bit super-floofy. It pulled through without disturbing the coil.
Juice it up, and fill through the fill port in the side of the plastic piece on the deck shown in the middle below (the small hole next to it is for air to prevent a vacuum), it fitted a 10ml bottle nozzle easily. It's supposed to be 2ml ......... bollocks. I reckon you'd be lucky to get 1ml in there!
Right, last bit is putting the airlflow ring and drip tip in and fitting the chamber. This looks a nightmare, but if you trust it and more or less just slap it on ......... it will work fine.
The airflow ring slips on over an o-ring with those plates you can see on the ring facing down, that's what you move to open and close the airflow. Don't try to see or work out where it should be - just suck it and see whan you take a pull and twist, and adjust it then to taste. You'll drive yourself mad trying to second-guess it first .... or by trying to see it ...... for at least half an hour .......
The drip tip just screws in the top, but threads into the chamber and doesn't affect the air flow adjustment ring. It comes with two drip tips, both the same shape, one SS and one black plastic.
Lastly, drop the whole chamber hood over the deck and screw it down (clockwise, as you'd think). You'll feel it drop into place as you twist and keep twisting until you feel it stop. That makes sure the air gets to the coil as it should.
..... and vape. It actually works well to adjust the airflow 'blind' as you draw, I just wasn't used to doing it that way!
I've been using it all night, I'll get another.
