SmokTech RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomiser: by Vape Guys UK H A R D WA R E R E V I E W S (www.thebestecigarette.com) The Smoktech RDA or ‚rebuildable dripping atomiser‘ is a great way to get started in the world of rebuildable atomisers. A fantastic, affordable, rebuildable dripper that has been getting great reviews left right and centre, this atomiser allows you to build your own coil set-up from your choice of wick and resistance wire (sold separately). Features: Sealed battery connector air-hole located on outer casing, 510 threaded screw-less positive/negative post, rebuild using fibre-glass or silica rope and wire, oxidized aluminium construction, fits most 510 drip tips, includes pre-installed wick and wire. Can be used on eGo batteries on mods with 510 threading. You can use dripping e-liquid, e-solid gel and dry contents in this atomiser. Rebuilding your own coil set-ups on an atomiser like this one can be cost effective and rewarding. HOWEVER it does require a certain level of expertise, and is not for the faint hearted. We do not recommend you purchase this item if you are not technically minded and / or do not have a good level of dexterity. Rebuildables can be fun, and whilst you can learn everything you need to know via the internet, we ask you to consider this purchase carefully. Using the Smoktech RDA with a badly made coil can destroy the battery that it is used on. This is why you should always check with a multi-meter first. Quotes from users of the SmokTech RDA: Daz: Great for starting to learn how to rebuild. Good flavour and vapour production from this. Five Pawns Castle Long Mixology: by Vape Guys UK I have heard all the hype and everyone is raving about this juice. It took me a long time to take the plunge and spend what is a considerable amount of money on a bottle of e-liquid, but eventually I did and here are my thoughts. I purchased this liquid online via a UK vendor at a cost of £25.00 for a bottle of 30ml in 6mg nicotine level. The taste is something I have not tried before and you cannot really taste any one note of the flavours. There is a blend of Kentucky Bourbon, Toasted Coconut, Roasted Almond, Madagascar Vanilla Bean and Caramelised Brown Sugar. Upon reading the ingredients, I thought this would be a fantastic liquid to vape on, but in my own opinion I really didn’t like the taste. The packaging is great, nicely presented in a cardboard tube, very pleasing, but it must cost a great deal for all that flair. So, in the drawer it went for about 2 months, but I couldn’t just leave it there, not after spending that much on a bottle. I forced myself to try it again, and it did age well, but it’s still not the vape for me (although the taste did improve slightly). In my opinion, there is too much going on to really savour any of the flavours. Nice presentation, lovely colour, but the flavour is not for me. If you can, I would recommend trying this before buying. It would be nice to see UK Vendors supplying taste/sample packs of each of the flavours, so you can see if you like them before taking the plunge to buy the larger bottles.
