I had the pleasure of being selected by Uwell to review the Beta of the new D1 Subtank; particularly the new coils considering the upheaval that erupted after the v.1 coils came out for the Crown II RBA Tank. I wrote an in-depth analysis of all aspects of the tank before I would even look at the D2 that had come out earlier this year. I tested it both in VW and TC on Food Grade Ceramic SS316 - 0.50 and 0.25 coils.
Below is my final assessment of the prototype after further updates on the coils specifically. I believe with the release of other colors we may very well see the beautiful Uwell Centaur logo holding it's mech somewhere on the chassis of the tank or on the presentation tube.

Review of the Uwell D1 Prototype - 9/05/2016
First Impression - Aesthetics Unit Tested With:
Heavy, solid SubOhm Tank eLiquid: 30pg/70vg, 18 Nic
Industrial Look with fine SS x-hatch pattern *Wismec Rueleaux r200w
4ml eJuice Capacity 3 x 18650, 2500mAh, 3.7v LG (Green) **HCigar VT75w
Dual Insulated Quartz Glass Tank
No External Bottom Airflow = No Leaking 1 x 18650, 2500mAh, 3.7v LG (Yellow)
Delrin 510 Drip Tip Batteries are Genuine but Wrapped
Undetectable External Airflow
Adjustable Top Airflow Gnarling Below Top Cap
Brass or Brass plated Fixed 510 Connection
Pre-installed, Dual, Vertical 0.25 Ceramic Coil with OCC wicking
Extra Ceramic Coil Included – 24mm H x 12.5mm W x 17.4mm at Bottom Gnarling
Internal Impression:
Top Fill with Large Fill Slots
Dual Quartz Glass Acts as a Fully Contained Circulating Air Flow Unit
Removable, Bottom with Internal “U” Shaped Air Channel at 24mm in Height
Brass Contact at Bottom of “U” Air Vessel
Easy Bottom Removal of Large, Solid, Vertical Replacement Coil with Ample Gnarling
Slightly Unscrew Coil Head from Center of Unit and Pull Gently to Remove
Four Large, Circular, External Wicking Areas on Coil Head
Center of Coil is Narrow in Circumference at 1.8mm vs. 12.7mm Coil Circumference
Voltage: Wattage: Resistance: Temp. Coil Notes:
*3.85v *55w *0.27 415 Needs Much Liquid to Prime
**3.49v **55w **0.25(Ni) 415 Allow Saturation (Bubbling)
Flavor: Vapor Production:
*Great, Throat Hit Good, Warm *Estimated 85% Density
**Throat Hit Good **Estimated 65% Density
Coil Life Details – Pros & Cons: Life of Product:
All Tests Run at Wide Open Airflow Build Quality is VERY Solid & Durable!
Dry hits first few draws, but then AMAZING FLAVOR! Excellent Life with Coil Improvement
Both in VW and TC modes, flavor and vapor production A+.
Product Summary
Positive Points and Factors: Negative Points or Recommendations:
Overall, Excellent Design Threading is Thin/Cheap - Squeaky until Lubed
Uwell Logo on Bottom Half 510 Connection could be adjustable screw
Replacement coil is amazing!
WOULD I PURCHASE THIS SUBTANK & COILS? ABSOLUTELY! GREAT flavor!
