I had two of these droppers.
They worked well until they didn't. Both had air holding issues and they were supposedly the generation after that issue was fixed. I did get them both warrantied. I sold them promptly after that.
The two other things that made me dump these posts was (1) I could never get the seal to sit properly in the collar when putting it back together after a lube. There was always a tiny bit of the seal squeezed out no matter how careful I was with screwing the collar back on.
And, (2) all of their bolts were soft as cheese. I rounded out almost all of the hex heads because of the amount of service these posts required. And, no, I am not a hamfisted home mechanic. I treat my tools well and have a couple decades worth of bike mechanics skill under my belt.
