This post design might be pretty easy to coil actually. With slots for the legs, it may be that leg tension could hold the coil while you adjust leg length and snip without so much concern for holding the coil in place. Tighten then pull it over. And if the AF holes are big enough to allow air up both sides of coil, that would be a plus. Seems to be a lot in the way of upwards AF tho, and not really a straight shot up the chimney.

It does start below the coils.In order to get air to flow up past the coils, does it not first have to start from below them ?
Yeah, this design is a vast improvement over the first engine's airflow design. The first Engine just dropped air in from the top of the chamber so coil placement was absolutely critical to get flavor. I went through it with the Wotofo Sapor dual coil which had the exact same problem due to the air coming down from the top of the chamber just like the first Engine.It does start below the coils.
Using a straw as an analogy, if your pulling through the straw, the open end is where the air comes from, and it doesn't matter which way the straw is pointed. Up or down, it's still starts and the open end of the straw.

The airflow is there at the bottom on the deck ...when you screw down the chamber it’ll connect to the inlet there and seal it up creating bottom airflow by looks of it

Ok,my bad,,I see it now. It does seem like its built to take a double wall chamber..
Air flow to the base and exiting those angled sections.
I should have pulled it up on the computer instead of just my phone to start with..
Should be a major improvement over the first one.

For anyone interested Tim put up a short video showing the deck with a build and took some vapes. Looking good so far.
Thanks for the preview Tim. Much appreciated.
I found that funny as well. Tim looked like he was kinda holding back on his excitement but looked impressed so far. Looking forward to a full review from him when he's finished tinkering with the new engine 2.I liked it it was funny. Wick it like you just don't care! Haphazard, brutal wicking.........lol
My views on the Engine 2 RTA.....
Is this more tricky to build than a standard velocity or postless????...... absolutely but not too bad.
I found, grab your bit, in my case, a 3mm bit and put the back leg it first, I used a screwdriver to help get the front leg in and then bend them slightly so they stayed in place, position the the coil and tighten down the front leg, push the coil out over the airflow making sure it's level and tighten down the back leg, repeat.
I used my usual 3mm NI80 3 core Aliens
Careful with the screws, I can see these stripping and I will probably replace them at some point.
I actually found the original Engine a bit of a pain to wick, too much it would dry hit, not enough and it was spitback city. The Engine 2 is much more forgiving and wicks way better than the original, it's the biggest difference in the tank, apart from the airflow.
I bow tie my wicks and tuck them in and gently pull them out slightly, juice them up ect and jobs a good un..
Wicking like a dream, no spitback, a very saturated vape, more so than the original, it really is a big difference.

Paired it with the Matte Black (bye bye green splatter) Tesla Wye, they match perfect against the matte black tank.
Overall vape.....
As I said earlier, the first thing I noticed was the vape was very saturated, I was waiting for the spitback but it never came, not even on the first pull, bubbles came up and it was wicking fine and still is. Second thing I noticed was the smooth draw, a very satisfying vape, it does have a swooshy noise but I like it, wide open it's the perfect draw for me.
The bottom airflow actually works, much better than the Juggerknot RTA does, it kind of reminds me of the reload RTA the way the airflow hole shapes the coil, for a top airflow, this is without a doubt the best dual coil RTA out right now.
The flavor is very good, nothing to complain about, it beats the original and a lot of others I could mention, is it as good as the Aqua Reboot, no but it's not far off and I'll take this tank any day, for the simple fact of it doesn't leak and just the overall vape.
I was a bit unsure about the bottom being 24.5mm and coming out to 26mm but you can hardly notice it, it's a much better looking tank and thankfully that cage is gone that used to trap the juice, you engine guys n gals know what I mean. There is less seepage from the side fill too, there is a groove in it that stops most of it. I also noticed that the deck is a bit thicker, it doesn't get as hot as the original one did, my coils are quite chunky and even though you can pump a bit more power through the coils as the airflow cools the coil off a bit more, the deck stays pretty cool.
OBS knocked it out the park with this one, yeah it's a bit of a PITA to build on but well well worth it, I have no problem recommending this to anyone.
Awesome RTA.

Both great RTA's, have to give the edge for flavor to the Reboot but you have to get the wicking bang on or it will leak, I class myself as a experienced builder, build and wick everyday in my shop but mine leaked the first time I wicked it and even when I mailed it, it still collected in the airflow over time.Mine shipped yesterday, along with an aqua reboot.
