Tripod aesthetic features / versions

The Tripod is available in the following versions:

Stainless Steel Matte (SS Matte)

SS Matte is a light-brushed matte / satin finish, close to the natural appearance of CNC processed Stainless Steel.

Stainless Steel Ice Matte (SS Ice Matte)

SS Ice Matte is a medium blasted finish with special SS beams, darker (more dull) and more greyish compared to SS matte. The SS Ice Matte is a dynamic finish. It is not always the same and it gets darker over time. Also more prone to scratches compared to SS Matte.

Stainless Steel DLC Carbon Black (SS Carbon Black)

SS Carbon Black is a DLC treated dark shade of black, typical of carbon (coal) and closer to darker black shades. We have enhanced the dark matte result with the application of sandblasting on all outer surfaces prior to the DLC treatment. Treated are the AFC Ring, the Chimney, the Seal and the Top Cap.

Please note:

Due to the nature of Diamond-Like Carbon treatment, it is expected to find small marks and iridescence effect on certain points of the treated parts’ 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.

As an attribute of DLC treatment, slight tonic differences are expected in the same color between batches. Differences are not visible with bare eyes. 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.

Tripod functional features

The Deck

The deck of the Tripod is targeted for single coil setups with design details aiming to facilitate and improve rebuilding process as much as possible. Focusing on some of them, you can see high precision large pan head phillips post screws, conveniently placed rails to capture wire either between rail and screw head / body or around screw body (depending on wire D), cut – outs on outer deck rim for easier rebuilding, cut – outs on inner deck rim plus cotton wells to help proper cotton placement and juice distribution along cotton body, sufficient liquid intake slots on deck sides ( approx. 4.0mm x 2.0mm). The Tripod deck can literally host any size of single coil build, from classic small sized ones up to larger exotic coils.

The Air Flow

You may tune air flow via four pin options, each one with air hole D=1.0mm/1.2mm/ 1.5mm/1.8mm pinned inside a D=4.0mm nest. You may also regulate more “airy” flow via the AFCS Ring, adjusting from zero to D=4.0mm.

The Adjustable Chamber and Chimney

With the Tripod, we introduce the Chamber and Chimney Reducer assembly. It consists of two parts, that are sandwiching the upper part of the Chimney. When assembled, the C&C Reducer forms a vaporization chamber with lower volume (approx. 5.3mm chamber height) and a chimney with 3.0mm inner diameter, focusing on flavour oriented setups rather than vapour production. When removed, the chamber offers approx. 9.0mm coiling height and the chimney gets approx. 5.3mm inner diameter, with proper geometry to get all the clouds you want. The C&C Reducer actually offers you the potential of two different chamber and chimney geometries, thus two different single coil RTAs.

The Drip Tip

Another interesting point is the custom drip tip that comes with the device. This is a two-parts assembly as well, with its two parts sandwiching the Top Cap to ensure extra stability when removing top cap to refill. The drip tip is easily removable to let you use your own 510 drip tip.

Increased Capacity

Add to the above an upcoming extended capacity kit (3.5ml from stock 2.0ml – only available outside the EU) and you will have a good idea of Tripod’s potential for versatility.

Optimised Ergonomics

We have based on the concept of a thread-less mechanism with twist and pull / push actions in order to design and manufacture high precision parts that make vaping with an RTA so much easier. Instant access to deck can’t get any simpler and quicker. You just twist, align the small triangles that are located on the sides of chimney and deck and then pull in order to access to your deck super quickly, any time, even with a full tank. Same with refilling, as good old screw on threaded cap is no longer here. Simply align triangle on side of the top cap with the dot on the rim right below and pull up to refill through the large liquid slots. Don’t need to worry if you find it hard to spot dots and triangles: If you twist and pull gently you will definitely get it when you reach to the aligned – unlocking point of each mechanism.
