Again this tremor in hands, tremor in voice and certain uncertainty
Certain uncertainty...I can say like that.
Everytime when you do a presentation of a new device of your own, you are always uncertain how people will perceive it
What will reviewers say about it and what kind of opinion eventually will people have
I'm always very worried at such moments, that is why i will gladly read your comments below this video
So folks, let's not delay this exciting moment and let's roll. Intro...
Hello everyone! Alex from VapersMD is here
And i'm glad to welcome you on my channel
And today i will tell you about my new RDA, that i made in cooperation with Vandy Vape
Friends, this is this is a continuation of the line of Berserker MTL
This is Berserker MTL RDA
Single coil RDA with familiar posts, very deep juice well, with hot swap of airflow tubes feature, airflow adjustment options, top fill and also this RDA can easily work with squonk mods
it was made to be quite compact - only 18mm in diameter, but there were own reasons for it
Initially this RDA had 3 variants, and all of them was 22mm in diameter
They had different airflow adjustment, possibilities of change the airflow and other good features and options which i can't show you right now, since it's possible that we will use them in our other devices
In one RDA i didn't like the adjustment, in second RDA i didn't like the swap of the airflow tubes and in third i didn't like the noise this RDA produced
But one of the main cons, that all three of these devices has - it is minimal amount of flavor
So in the end there was made a decision to change the diameter of this RDA down to 18mm to reduce the chamber, to get correct flavor with MTL draw
And you know, in my opinion we are succeeded
Friends, i will not be delaying the moment of close up to show you massive kit and tell you how to launch this RDA
Let's dive down
Okay friends, let's get to the unboxing. I won't be focusing on the package since it's standard
And all of the kit contents we have on the desk
So in the kit we have an RDA itself
24mm decorative ring
22mm decorative ring
Coil correction tool for more convenient coil installation
That famous blue screwdriver. It must be here.
Allen key for squonk pin installation
Screw for negative post *note on the top - this is a screw for negative post*
Two spare post screws
Delrin top for drip tip since the drip tip is composite
Spare o-rings
Swappable airflow tubes
Pre-made coil, QC pass and User Manual
And now let's talk about specs. This RDA is made of stainless steel and available in 4 colors - steel, black, gold and rainbow
It have a slot for 510 drip tips, top cap for convenient refill, familiar posts for single coil installation, 6 swappable airflow tubes that is made of heatproof plastic with different holes and diameters
You can swap them when you have coil and cotton installed
Also airflow can be adjusted by turning the barrel
Juice well is 12.8mm deep
Main diameter of RDA is 18mm, but in the kit we have 2 decorative rings - 22 and 24mm
And now it's time for a detailed look and as always we start from the top
On the top we have 510 with heat sink, also this drip tip is composite and we have ultem cap
Top part is removable and its unscrews counter clockwise
You can easily swap it do delrin cap that we have in the kit
As i said it's 510 drip tip, it have 2 o-rings and inside it's cone shaped, the bore diameter is 3mm
Next we see the top cap which is for top fill. It have a knurling for convenient removing
Removing is easy and in the same moment it holds good due to correctly selected o-ring
On the inside it's cone shaped, which should positively affect the flavor
And of course you can install any of your favorite 510 drip tips into that slot
Next we see a perforated barrel. In it we have airflow holes - about the same amount as Berserker RTA, but one more (it's 6 holes)
So, it's 0.8mm, 1mm, 1.2mm, 1.4mm, 1.6mm and 2mm
And by turning this barrel you can adjust the airflow
This barrel is holds on 2 o-rings which is on the deck
And now let's talk about the deck itself. In here you can see a familiar posts, that was in Berserker MTL RTA, both in 24 and 22mm versions, with special walls for convenient coil installation and phillips head screws
I think you noticed those 2 big holes that we have in the deck. In these holes you will be inserting your airflow tubes
The airflow tube is look like so. One side have a hole for getting the air and in center it have a hole for blowing the coil. On the opposite side it's just blank plastic
As i said before in the kit we have 6 of these tubes with various holes and diameters
Okay, the smallest hole is 1.2mm
Next hole is 1.4mm
Third hole is 1.6mm
And fourth hole is 2mm
Also there is 2 non-standard tubes - one with 3 holes 1mm each and a stripe 3*0.5mm
So yes, friends, in here you have a lot of options to adjust the airflow and you can experiment as much as you want
Okay, let's see how the airflow tube is being inserted
Like i showed you there is two large through holes in the deck and you can insert this tube inside by a simple motion of the hand
Now it's Installed and centered and the tube sits in its groove
One side is blank and other side have a hole for getting the air
And now let's look how the deck look from the top. As you can see these holes are asymmetrical, it was made on purpose so it's be possible to fill the juice
Accordingly, when you have installed coil in here in the center will be the cotton. So you will be filling juice in both of these corners
Pay attention - this juice well is not divided, but it have slight deepenings for larger capacity
So when you fill it on one side, the juice will get to the other side
Also on the bottom we have sort of bridge, it is for spit-back protection while squonking. This is my sort of feature which i will be using almost in all of my RDA's
On the bottom it look like so. In here it's written Berserker MTL RDA, my logo, certificates, serial number and date of production and a line which says that manufacturer is Vandy Vape
Gold-plated screw that holds negative post and pin that holds positive post
This pin is adjustable. And in case it won't be long enough for you - you can unscrew it a bit
And if we continue unscrewing it, we will be able to install squonk pin
By unscrewing external pin we getting access to the main screw which holds positive post. We will also have to unscrew it
And after we will be able to install the squonk pin with allen key from the kit
In that simple way we are installing the squonk pin in this RDA
Okay friends, now we can use this RDA on squonk mods
This is good~
Moving forward, let's finish with a kit. In the kit we have 2 decorative rings - one is 24mm in diameter, other is 22mm in diameter
And it's pretty simple to use them - you will need one of them, depends on what diameter your mechanical mod or box mod is
Put that decorative ring on the bottom part of the RDA and after that screw the RDA on the box mod or mechanical mod
This is how it will look at box mods that is fit 22mm diameter atomizers
For understanding the size - at the left hand is Berserker 24mm and at the right hand is Berserker MTL RDA
Well, i think we saw enough so it's time to and launch it. Let's install the coil
The sequence of actions is important. Firstly - install the coil and glow it and after that you can insert the airflow tube
To prevent the plastic tubes from damaging by glowing coils
But friends, I can assure you - it's heatproof plastic and when you use the RDA as intended nothing's gonna happen to it
But when you glow the coil and temperature of it rise to the maximum - in that case even that heatproof plastic might not endure it
So again - install the coil, glow it and only after this insert the airflow tube
Okay folks, let's get to the coil installation. I will use the fused clapton coil from a kit
Also this wire can be purchased separately and it's named Superfine MTL Fused Clapton Wire
This wire is made by Vandy Vape, on the top it have parameters, so you can build a fused clapton like this by yourself
This wire is made of Nichrome
For a start let's unscrew the screws
Inner diameter of kit coil is 2.5mm, but i will add one more wrap
So in the end we got 6 visual wraps
And now is one of the important moments - we will install the coil the way that leads will be on top and the coil itself on the bottom
After that place the leads in those grooves and tighten it with screws
Now correct the coil and bend the leads into those notches on both sides
And cut it
Now let's glow it
After the glow is done we need the airflow tube
You know, i have 2 favorite airflow tubes that i like the most in terms of draw and flavor - the tube with the smallest hole and tube with oval-shaped hole
So i will be using a tube with oval-shaped hole
Let's insert it. As you can see on one side we have insulator - insert it from this side - that will be way more comfortable and it will sit more even
Some tubes inserts a little tighter, but by applying a little force you will succeed
And here you might need a Coil correction tool which is also included in the kit
That's written on the back of it: Coil correction tool
As you can see it's angled for convenient manipulation with the coil. On one side diameter is 3mm, on the other it's 2.5mm
After you've installed the coil, glowed it and inserted airflow tube you can lower the coil closer to the airflow to have like 1mm between them
Now i'm totally satisfied with the coil and it's time to put some cotton
I'm using standard Koh Gen Do cotton. I peeled off the upper layer and now it's ready
And now regarding the amount of cotton and how much we should left of it - i think that this will be enough
I'm eyeballing it, but to clarify - it's going down to like second o-ring
Friends, don't try to stuff a lot of cotton - otherwise you will not have a juice well. So a lot of cotton in this RDA is completely unnecessary
And now i'll do something for the first time, since i don't like doing it - i will thin the cotton and by doing so i will reduce its amount and size
I think that amount is enough. No more tortures on it
Now just put the cotton inside the juice well in standard way
Pay attention - on one side cotton is blocked all the holes, but we will shift it after saturation
Right now, when we saturate it, a little bit of juice can get into the airflow. I suggest you to insert the airflow tube in the latest moment. Well maybe after you've adjusted the position of your coil
So to prevent juice getting into the airflow we move the airflow tube to the side and now we can to fill it with no problems even in this barbaric way
Great. Now let's get back the airflow tube in place
And now just shift the cotton a bit to drip into the juice well with no problems
I can say, friends, this RDA holds up to 20 drops. I was experimenting and it's 20 or 21 drops with dry cotton
You can freely drip on either sides
Also this RDA is having sort of leak-proof system - it didn't leaked even once out of airflow, so you can fill it to the edge and it will not leak through the airflow
After this we will need the barrel. Match it with airflow hole
I selected the second hole, it have optimal draw for me
Keep in mind that airflow tube should sit flush with the deck, otherwise you'll be unable to put on the barrel
As you can see i did it from the first try. And i think it's time get back to face-time, vape it and speak a little bit
Final resistance is 0.78Ω, power is 13.5W - it will be enough
So thanks for your attention in close up, let's roll
It is what it is friends
It works and it's capable of giving proper MTL draw - both loose and tight draw
And for those of you who is going to ask what's this box mod - it's Series B powered by DNA75 from Jac Vapor
This mod is made in England, it might be said it's high-end, and later i will definitely make a review on it
But let's talk about RDA itself
I think this RDA come out quite universal. You can freely use it on box mods, also you can easily use it on squonk mods since it have BF pin
By the way, RDA with beauty ring that is 24mm diameter, is gonna look like so
Fit of this squonk mod is 24mm and i think it looks not bad
But we're moving forward. Also you can use this RDA on mechanical mods that is 22 and 24mm in diameter with no problems
It's looks so-so. Not for everybody, as the saying goes.
And of course you can use this RDA on Ego-style mods with diameter 18mm and 19mm
This Ego-style mod is made by Joyetech and this RDA works perfectly with it
So friends, that's how this RDA looks on different mods. But there is another moment that we tried to achieve
And that is hot swap of airflow tubes feature
in order for you to be able to swap the airflow tube even with installed coil and cotton inside and try this RDA with other type of draw or airflow
For that you just need to take off that barrel and it's no matter if you have beauty ring installed or not
Take the airflow tube from the kit and just insert it inside and replace the previous one
After that put on the barrel, match the hole of the airflow you need and vape
And you know, you get different experience with different airflow tubes - different draw and flavor is changing a bit
And here you have a field for experiments
Overall friends, i have many things that i could have told you, but there is one moment that i want to show you
It is how to refill this RDA if you don't use squonk mods
You just take off the top cap, and in that simple way you drip the juice inside. This RDA accommodates up to 20 drops
Total capacity of juice well with no cotton inside is 1.2ml of e-liquid
And after you done dripping, put the top cap back and continue to vape
That's how we roll, friends
