It happens often
Folks - here's the lifehack. Hot to know if reviwer is bald or have bad hairstyle?
He's wearing the snapback

I have two news. First - this mechanical mod is cost 350$. Second - i'll do a giveaway.
Without delays let's roll. Intro....
Yohoho, hello everyone. The finger is here
And Alex from VapersMD. And im glad to welcome you on my channel
Today our guest is El Twister mechanical mod by Revolution Squad
This company is based in London, England
But manufactures the device in Taiwan
And i guess you have some kind of dissonance - 350$ and Taiwan
VOT
Let's try to find out why this device is cost 350$ in my close up
Let's dive down
Okay folks, let's unbox this black stylish package
Here we have Rose logo, Revolution Squad, London
There's the ribbon. Let's pull it
And we have another black package
Under this velvet we see a content of package
Here we have button, the tube and authenticity card with serial number
My serial number is 136
On the rear side of this card we have manufacturer official site and e-mail
And of course disassembled mechanical mod
I think you noticed that we have no user manual whatsoever
Let's see on this mech specs
This mod is made of Cartridge Brass Shell
It is available in 3 versions - El Twister(we have it here), Bellwether and Brit Pop
This mech mod features hybrid connector and have 24mm in diameter. As well as fit for attys
And it's powered by 1*18650
This mod have classic direct contact copper contact group
The button is spring-loaded, have vent holes, have auto-adjusting feature for you battery and button press adjustment
Let's compare it. In it's ready-to-go state size-wise its average compared to this 6 mech mods
It's time for detailed overview. As always we start from the top and in order
First thing we see is hybrid connector
Which is absolutely flat and have no cutout
People who familiar with Russian mech mods knows why this cutout is necessary
Which we have on all mechanical mods made in Russia
For those who isn't familiar with them - firstly it will prevent your atomizer from glueing
Second - it will prevent connector from damage such as scratches
And, of course, decreasing heat transfer from atomizer to the mechanical mod itself
Overall it's regular hybrid connector
It fits 24mm diameter atomizers
If we screw down the 24mm RDA you will notice that gap *I will forgot to mention this as a con so memorize*
It's not symmetrically - 1 side have bigger gap than other
So the gap is there
Moving forward we see the tube and it's design
As you can see it's twisted
So the name of this mod become obvious - El Twister
I can say - design looks cool, but i can't say it's something new
Anyway these spiral knurling looks gorgeous
Take a notice - we have no sharp edges, all edges are smooth
When you receive this mod it's have mirror-polished
I'll say again - these edges are smooth and feels very nice in hand
At the bottom we have a button which unscrews counter clockwise
I want you to take a closer look at the threads - they are perfect
Kruto
It have wide threading. Unscrewing this button is a pleasure
That's how the internals of this tube is machined
If we look down sadly we won't see the fool-proof protection feature - edge that protects from shorting out if your battery is damaged or if you press the button with no atomizer attached
Anyway it's safety feature and i think it should be in every mechanical mod
Moving forward. Let's talk about the button
Take a notice on these cut outs on threading on both sides
This is how guys from Revolution Squad made ventilation in this mod
When you screw down this button it will adjust to the battery
It also leave that gap. That gap is working as vent hole, which will provide gas output if something went wrong with battery
I can say its good idea, guys made it well
Moving forward. We see plastic white insulator with adjustment feature
This way you will adjust the press on the button
Also we see copper contact and and to get to it we need to unscrew bottom part of the button
It is fast way to get inside and get access to the button to clean it
Unscrewing counter clockwise
Here we have a button and spring
This is button housing - it's clean, reliable and have perfect threads
Krasivo
Pretty hard spring but with soft touch
And the button - made fully of copper
Outside we have a deep Rose engraving - Revolution Squad logo
These thin edges aren't comfortable to use at times - they are thin and pretty deep so you will feel them during usage
Overall folks - that's it. That is mechanical mod fully disassembled
Let's assemble it in order. 1. Attach your atomizer. It's very important step for safety. Always attach you atomizer first before putting battery in
Since our vent holes is on the bottom we will put battery positive side down
Adjusting the press on the button. I want it to be as short as possible
Screwing button housing if you disassembled your mod
Now the battery is adjusted and we have a gap over here which works as vent hole
After this you can put in button and screw the button cap on
Pressing the button and we got vape going on
Which means it ready and it works
So it's time for face-time. Let's talk of its pros and cons
Thanks for your attention in this close up
Let's roll
Opachki
Zapekanochka
This mech performs great
Anyway, no rush. We starting with cons
Okay folks, since this mod have no constant contact *This type of contact imply that you battery will be always in contact. So when you press the button the spark wont damage your battery contacts, since contact happens outside - Subzero Shorty(not X) for example*
Here we have direct pin to battery contact
It means that you battery contacts and button will get damaged with so-called black dots.
You will have to clean them with rubber eraser or sandpaper to maintain your mechanical mod performance
So it's a con because we ❤ our batteries
Don't forget - mods with direct contact require maintenance
Next con i'll give for lack of cutout on the hybrid 510 connector
As i said in close up - in my opinion it's important feature
Firstly your atomizers wont glue to your mod(which means it will be pain in the ass to unscrew them)
Second thing: this connector plate won't be scratched or damaged
And third thing - heat transfer from RDA(or RTA, or w/e you using that have deck) deck to mod will decrease
Guys from UK, USA - please, make that cutout
Guys from Russia have long been doing this
And you still make flat connectors
Next con goes for lack of fool-proof protection feature - if guys from Revolution Squad will watch this they may have no clue what it is
It is safety
Yes, i understand that this mod assumes that battery will be installed positive side down
Because vent holes is on the bottom(which means in case something went wrong all gas and electrolytes will push through positive contact)
Also this mod is totally lack user manual which would inform the user about specs and safety precautions
ALE
We've been distracted a little bit
Tak Vot
I believe that every mechanical mod should have user manual
Not every user that bought mechanical mod is fully understand how to use it - how they should install battery
How battery sides relate to vent holes
What batteries they should use
How the wrap should look like
Beginner(person who never used mech mod before) will not be informed without user manual so he will not know what to do
He may use some crappy batteries with damaged wrap, especially if it's positive side
So if that kind of battery will be installed positive side up with unattached atomizer
It will cause hard shot-circuit with...
Badaboom
The vaping world DOES NOT need this sad statistics
So in case, when manufacturer ignoring some safety features the kit MUST include user manual which will clearly show and tell how to use the mod correctly
So con goes for lack of fool-proof protection feature
I explained in detail why the safety is important and you need to have it as well as user manual
Now it's time to nitpicking
Friends, you all know that brass and copper start to patina over time
Vot
Your hands start to smell this patina
So you need to maintain these things - you need to polish them
The nitpick is - Revolution Squad not giving any color coating variants for this mechanical mod and for another version of their mod
They have classic model that is gold-plated
This version is pure brass-only
The nitpick is - you HAVE to polish it
I want to recommend to Revolution Squad - add some color variants or coating options
For people who don't like constant maintenance
Besides you position your mods as mods for businessmen
Businessman don't have any time for maintenance or polishing
And last nitpick goes for deep engraving on the button
This thin edges are sensitive during use and it may be not comfortable for fingers many of you
Okay folks, it's time for pros
First pro i'll give to this mech is for quality
Chetko
Battery doesn't rattle inside
Threads are perfect. They are wide, massive and buttery smooth. The quality of this mod is fantastic. Big pro for that
Next pro goes for design - it is stylish
It looks awesome
Especially when it polished to mirror
Another pro for button press adjustment with insulator inside. Convenient
Next pro for fast access to the button. It's cool - you can get to your button at any moment, maintain it and screw it back very fast
Fast. Cool. Pro
Of course i will give pro for presence of vent holes and the way they made. Like.
Last pro i'll give for performance
Zharit
Zapekaet
Its performance is great
Pro for performance
It is time....To summarize
As the manufacturer itself claims they position their mods as mods for businessmen
Some sort of Vertu(short notice - premium brand of branch Nokia) in vaping world
Apparently that's why the price tag for this mod is like this
As i said in the beginning of this video - this mechanical mod cost 350$
349$ to be exact
And this is expensive. It's expensive not only for CIS.
It's expensive as well for american people and english people. For european people. For everyone
Though it's all depends on your own wallet - if you like this device and you have enough money to purchase it
Then anyway you will go and buy something pricey
The bigger the wealth the bigger demands
So in case if someone have a lot of money - he can afford to spend it on this mechanical mod
But this mechanical mod is not mass-production as the saying goes
It's not targeted for the whole market. It's targeted on a small group of people with a fat wallet
I'm watching for both markets internal and external
And i can say - in last 6 months or a year Russian mech mod makers make a big step forward
It's look like mech mod makers from Russia are step ahead of the West mech mod makers
I'm proud
So I recommend to Western manufacturers to catch up
I didn't even know that i will say something like that. It's awesome.
Okay folks. That's it.
I want to say big thanks to Revolution Squad for sending me this device for this review
I wanna thank you for your attention
Don't forget - in this corner we have a voting going - do you like this device or not(да-yes/нет-no)
Also like i said in the beginning it's time for giveaway
It is for CIS only
