Time to revive this thread. I’ve been waiting for the feedback on this tank after folks have used it a while.
How is that heating element holding up?
Does it still get as hot as when new?
Is there any degradation to the element or it’s coating?
Do you still use it daily?
Would you buy another or recommend it to the community?
I haven’t been keeping up with the Altus, but, I was fortunate enough to be able to send mine back to the seller in exchange for 3 atomizers and other supplies which I could actually use with an infinitely higher degree of satisfaction. 
Until that technology is perfected, I’ll stick to twisting my own coils.
