Can someone help me pronounce Kaees? Because I’d love to start dropping some praise on this company, but I’m not sure if I’d do it right. I hope that it won’t stop others, though – because the Kaees Stacked RTA is another winner. And that’s saying a lot for 2018, a year that’s will be [...]
All hail the king. There, I said it. You don’t need to read the review. Just know we’re gonna slap a big fat, rabbit-eared “A+” up there and call it day. Because the HellVape Dead Rabbit 25mm RTA is the best rebuildable tank atomizer in my collection. Not “one of” – THE absolute best. But I [...]
BRUCE PRO INNOVATIONS CABALLUS 25MM GTA - When compared to many other vape product designs, rebuildable tank atomizers (RTAs) seem to be less focused on change, and more focused on improving things that already work. And the Bruce Pro Caballus 25mm GTA (Genesis Tank Atomizer, for the newcomers) is a shining example. Because there’s nothing [...]
The AsMODus Dawg RTA Review - With all the gear we get to test, my workspace looks more like the set of “Breaking Bad” than it probably should. And a good chunk of that space is filled with replacement coils for sub-ohm tanks. So, with so many replacements available, why would anyone bother building their [...]
I’ve been beyond excited to review the all-new Chief King RDA from the curiously named Squid Industries. And that was odd, because I don’t get overly worked up over dripping atomizers. To me, most of them are the same essential experience, with only a few standing out for me over the years. For instance, our [...]
When it comes to vaping, how much is too much? Well, if you’re a single-coil vaper who’s convinced that anything more than that is overkill, you might want to skip this review. But, if you’re looking for an over-the-top example of why “more” is sometimes “better,” then read on – because the VandyVape Triple II [...]
I’m in an RTA kinda mood, so let’s tackle one of the most interestingly named ones I’ve seen yet – the single-coil Wismec Bellerophon RTA. But, unless you like a challenge, I’ll save you the trouble of reading this entire piece – the Bellerophon RTA isn’t nearly as interesting as its name. And it’s a [...]
I’m developing a bad reputation around the Spinfuel Vape offices. Because it seems like every new rebuildable tank atomizer (RTA) that comes through our doors becomes my “new favorite.” But I can’t help it, 2018 has been a tremendous year for the format, and the all-new OBS Engine II RTA might be the best one yet. But [...]
I have to admit, all these years later, I’m still not convinced ceramic is the future of vape coil technology. But the all-new Joyetech Riftcore DUO RTA does an interesting job making a case to the contrary. Combining plate-like heating elements with a mesh design to ensure even ramping throughout the cotton wick, and easier [...]
I have to say, I’ve never been more aware of the differences between modern American and Chinese culture than I was when I learned about the Vandy Vape Revolver RTA. Because in this current social and political climate, there’s no way any right-minded company would name a vape product after a handgun, right? Nor should they. [...]
I almost never mention the names of the products I review… even when some of them are pretty ridiculous. But I can’t help but laugh that Uwell decided to coin this combination RTA/RDA the Uwell Fancier. I mean, for starters, fancier than WHAT? Another tank? The mod itself? Your mom’s good china? Silly name, to be [...]
Since the beginning of vape history, and through all the various shapes, sizes and formats of vaping atomizers, one problem has remained constant throughout. Leaking... So, when Geek Vape boasted that the all-new Zeus is a “leak-proof” 25mm RTA, we approached with cautious optimism. It’s understandable that we’re all skeptical – companies have made “leak-proof” claims [...]
“Best of” lists are tough. Just ask my colleagues, who have been busy compiling thorough collections of recaps to help vapers of all types make the best possible buying decisions. Now it’s my turn to recap the best of my personal favorite rebuildables, RDA's, RTA's, and RDTA's for 2018. Of course, we should preface by saying that [...]
As a person, I tend to not revisit old practices. I don’t watch many old movies. I still check out new music. Heck, I don’t even get excited about retro video games. In vaping, though I never forget my roots, I left mouth-to-lung (MTL) devices behind a long time ago. But thanks to the Innokin [...]
One of the reasons I love rebuildable tanks is customization. Of course, any tank is going to have its limitations – deck space, width, capacity, etc. But the VGOD Elite RDTA represents the first time I’ve ever penalized a device for a drip tip. Oh, the Elite RDTA is still a kicker of a tank, but [...]
