DotShell Limited Edition Series

Small batches of DotShells and SteamShells are spiced up with a unique creative eye, hosting artwork patterns / designs on their outer surface, which are inspired by local cultures from around the globe. Each pattern / design is specially created and adjusted, printed on the front of the device tin box , plus engraved on the front side of the device. Each pattern / design is unique, destined for only one small batch of DotShells (around 200pcs) and SteamShells (around 100pcs) of a certain finish, not to be reproduced ever again.
The Limited Edition Series are serialized as members of the DotShell family, so their engraved serials follow the natural continuation of the DotShell serial numbering. On top of that though, they stress out their uniqueness with one extra code, shown on the QR Code sticker, right after the typical serial. This is called Limited Edition Series Code, it consists of two letters and a three-digit number, and it is also an additional layer of security against counterfeiting.
Please note that the three-digit number of the Limited Edition Series Code is not a serial number. The three-digit number on each sticker is a random number, which makes a unique pair with the typical serial number of every device, through a special algorithm of Atmizone.

Please note:

Due to the nature of electroplating, it is expected to find small marks and iridescence effect on certain points of the device’s inner surfaces. Steps of the procedure ensure that outer surfaces of the device have uniform looks and finish, but inner surfaces can’t be processed equally effectively.

Electroplating is not a coating rather than a very thin extra metal layer. As such, hairlike scratches and small bumps, typical on metal surfaces, should be expected on all plated surfaces, visible from close distance or with the use of magnifying lens.

As an electroplating attribute, tonic differences are expected in the same color between batches. Differences are not visible with bare eyes in the case of Midnight Black and Gold, and appear to be more intense with the Iron Grey. The Aegean Blue, Rainbow Purple and Marigold Orange are dynamic new finishes, each one being a unique camvas of different color shades and colors mixture, changing with the effect of light and the view angle, never exactly the same between different devices of same finish. For this, we keep stock of parts from different batches separately, in order to make sure that replacements will come from the same batch with the device when needed.

DotShell functional features

The DotShell takes the basic concept of the VapeShell and elaborates, incorporating also some elements out of dotAIO stock components.

The design utilizes the top part of dotAIO’s stock reservoir, incorporates an adaptation of dotAIO RBA’s AFC system, but also offers a surprisingly large deck with real time access potential and further customisable air flow under coil. The deck is able to host many different approaches of one-coil rebuilding, from simple round wire to large exotic coils, still retaining high tank capacity (a bit higher from Dotmod’s RBA version). The air flow is adjusted by an AFC base section with high accuracy which dials in the air hole under coil from zero to either D=3.8mm (stock Pos Tube) or D=2.0mm (spare Pos. Tube). There is an MTL set of pins further available as an accessory, which, as with the VapeShell, further customises the air flow for proper true MTL setups. This makes the DotShell versatile and perfect for a wide range of vaping profiles, from MTL to DTL. Add to the above Dotmod’s auxilary 510 base for testing, rebuilding, dry-burning or other purposes and you have the whole package.

You can’t get wrong with the DotShell. Its features and potential bring the already succesful dotAIO to a totally different level.
