I think Jai is spot on with his review
It must be grumpy then.
OG Dvarw DL for the win always!
One could argue that there are many things wrong with the DWARV DL. Bottom fill, huge base that makes it look "old timey", single coil, bottom airflow, forget me not lid (been there, done that)... But take one puff and all of that goes up in vapour. Not even running an exotic coil, single core Clapton, and there is nothing that comes anywhere close to the flavour and surprising amount of cloud this single coil atty produces. Does not make sense and needs to be experienced to understand.
Tried one at our vape meet and simply had to have one. No need to try anything else.

So I've been using the new Dvarw MTL 22mm FL for the last week and a half and after trying it as a more restrictive direct lung I have to say it is probably the best restrictive direct lung out there. The new latches for your coils has made this my new favourite RTA for restrictive direct lung. I will now start investigating in the after market top section to allow top fill.
As a MTL I still prefer my Taifun GTR as this is a true MTL that kicks the dvarw's but by a small margin.

I have never been a fan of Mesh but wanted to try it in the Dvarw DL. Mesh through the coil with a little ball of cotton at each end to facilitate the juice to the mesh. It worked but I don't know if I didn't dry burn the mesh enough or what but there was a funny taste lingering... so I have to say this was a fail. 
Also it altered the resistance in a big way... it actually halved the resistance!

The dry burning should coat the mesh so it’s non resistant. I’ll dig out my mesh and set one up soon if you would like me to document the mesh procedure perhaps.
Yes please @Christos! I have another piece of mesh and will try once the master has documented the procedure!
@Rob Fisher , with mesh wicking you can use a gas lighter or one of those gas torches used as a fire lighter to heat the mesh beforehand. That would pre-oxidize the steel mesh before it gets inserted, reducing the chance of hot-spots.
Photo #3 definitely shows some hot spots.
We used to poke the mesh near the cooler spots with a needle or toothpick to gently pry it away from the coil where it shorts out. With spaced coils it was quite simple, but it may prove a bit more tricky if the coils are not spaced. Geez, I've not used mesh as wick in yonks.

Gotcha, I should have burnt the mesh before folding and inserting it into the coil. Will also space the coil as well. Thanks @Kuhlkatz!
This is the steps I use to prepare mesh.
New coil, fresh Mavaton X, fresh Red Pill. Now which mod will drive the Dvarw today?
Dvarw's with new coils and rewicked for the holidays! I don't think I will need a pitstop for a while! Bazinga!
Time to replace a few coils!
All shiny and blue! Gotta love a new coil!
Rewicked with Mavaton X and ready to just add Red Pill when needed!

It is that time again! Shiny and clean Dvarw DL's ready for some Mavaton X!
Three stages of the Dvarw lifecycle!
Dvarw's needing a clean and wick change. Base loosened ready for disassembly and washing
Dvarw's washed and drying. Ready for rewicking!
Dvarw's ready to have juice added and go operational!
