You know, I've noticed that devices with Velocity-style posts are gone somewhere
There's some new designs appear here and there. And I start missing that good old Velocity posts
I have a question for you - do you still use devices with Velocity-style posts?
Leave a comment - do you still like it or you use some more convenient posts?

And we're starting. We have an RDA as our guest.
Let's roll. Intro
Yohohoyeshki! Hello everyone! Alex from VapersMD is here
And i'm glad to welcome you on my channel
And today our guest is Templar RDA by Augvape
This company is pretty famous, which is at the moment released a whole lot of different devices. Even a box mod - here it is, we'll do a review on it later
And today we'll devote our time to Templar RDA with Velocity-style posts aka improved Velocity posts with the shadow of Petri24
I think I intrigued you enough, so let's dive down and disassemble it, assemble back and launch it. Let's go
Okay, here we have a standard tube body packaging from Augvape which says that this is Templar RDA, Velocity clamp system and social media information
As well as scratch code and certificates, logo and link to the official site
And yes, Augvape have official store at Aliexpress - you are free to visit
Under the cover we are immediately greeted by the RDA
And in-depth, under the foam we have a bag with spares
First thing is plastic top cap with top airflow - we'll see how it looks on RDA a little bit later
And a bag with spares which includes a set of spare o-rings, gold-plated BF pin, 510 drip tip adapter and single coil plug
Templar RDA is made out of 304SS and available in 2 colors - SS and sort of Gun Metal, though both of them have gold-plated deck
It have a slot for fitting 810 drip tips and 510 drip tip adapter and comes with plastic top cap
This RDA have adjustable side airflow for dual coils and for single coil with the plug
But the most interesting is the deck - rethinked Velocity deck with a hint on Petri24
Also this RDA can work with squonk mods. Its diameter is 24mm, height without drip tip is 21mm, height with drip tip is 26.7mm and juice well is 4.7mm deep
But let's get a detailed look on this RDA. And as always we start from the top and in order, where we have thin black delrin 810 drip tip
It's a standard non-o-ring 810 drip tip and I don't like it from the beginning, since it's thin and low
So I will strongly recommend using your own 810 drip tips, which is fit great in here
Moving forward we can see the top cap, which is besides it is top cap, works as airflow adjustment
It have a logo with the name of RDA and slight notches for convenient airflow adjustment
Airflow adjustment works like so - by turning top part you gradually start to open airflow slots. First goes lower hole, then middle and after - upper hole
I must say doing it is inconvenient and sometimes painful, especially when o-rings are dry. We opened it and I'm really hurt
Inside airflow adjustment itself look like so - it have 4 kinda steps and spherical shape machining
It's held by single o-ring
Next part is the barrel - it have a logo of the RDA, airflow holes on both sides and on the top it have a bevel which is holding top cap
Also it have 2 cutouts for this barrel to sit on the deck
And last thing we're going to talk about is the deck and the posts
As you can see it's single post with one screw in the center
The screw is seems to be Titanium or heat-treated SS. And It's both flat head and Phillips head
By unscrewing this screw the post is rising - there is no spring or magnet, it rises just because of the screw
After you done unscrewing 4 holes are opened - 2 on the bottom and 2 on the top
This is negative post and this post is positive. Insulator in the center and BF slot is seen
Also, on the sides of the deck we have a keys for fixating the barrel and juice well
Also on the side we have 2 o-rings that is holding the barrel and on the bottom we have information about manufacturer
And I want to draw your attention to a very important factor, for which I will give this RDA a con - a pin is not protruding enough and I'm NOT recommending to use this RDA on mechanical mods with hybrid connection
Overall, friends, that's mostly it. Let's see how this plug works - simply insert it in one side of the juice well
After this put on the barrel and you can see that one side is blocked
Though some air will pass through anyway, because it's not hermetic sealed. So be prepared to it
Also this plug is decrease capacity of the juice well in half
As I said before we have a plastic top cap in the kit
It works the same. Put it on the deck - important moment - you need to match the cutout with the keys on the deck
And as result the RDA will look like so. Honestly - it's weird
All those things are wonderful, but it's time to install the coils. Let's go
Well, friends, it's done. RDA is ready for tests
So I think it's time to get back to face-time and speak of its pros and cons
Thanks for your attention in close up
Let's roll
Moderately tight, moderately airy airflow...I got this type of draw with that coil installation. And I have to say, that this RDA due to its side have a nice flavor
But anyway, I found some cons in this RDA, which we are going to discuss right now
First con to this RDA I'll give for weakly protruding pin. Yeah, I'm NOT recommending to use this RDA on mechanical mods with hybrid connection, because there is a high probability of getting short circuit (This problem will be fixed in the release version!)
So, Augvape, please do the pin longer so it will protrude enough (This problem will be fixed in the release version!)
Next con to this RDA I'll give for drip tip. Honestly, this drip tip is garbage - it's thin, it's low and it's uncomfortable, with all those sharp edges
You need to do something about it. You need to do this drip tip more enjoyable. People take it in their mouths and they should enjoy it. No matter how it sounds :D
My next complaint is shallow juice well. I don't even know where to put this complaint - to a cons or to a nitpicks. The juice well is really small - 4.7mm, the liquid capacity is low. But, on the other hand, because of that that height of RDA is decreased
And because of that flavor production is increased. So it's up to you to decide - is the juice capacity important for you or not
Let's move on. Second nitpick goes for airflow adjustment. I was hurt. This ring is pretty thin and grip of it is inconvenient. Besides it have sharp edges
But in defense I'll say - most of you adjust the airflow from the beginning and don't adjust it anymore in the future, so you won't be turning that ring very often
But since this ring hurt me I will mention it as a nitpick
Next nitpick goes to a single coil option realization. It's weird. I don't like those plugs and I will tell you why
The thing is - when you insert that plug you are cutting the juice well capacity. This juice well isn't that deep and after insertion of that plug it's reduced in half
And aside from that - this plug isn't blocking airflow completely, some air will go through anyway. So it's kinda weird single coil solution and I don't like it very much
But it's there. Okay. Not many gonna use this RDA in single coil mode, so it's a nitpick
And now we're going to talk about pros
First pro I'll give for a good quality of manufacturing. It's made good, guys know what they are doing. Augvape has long been in the market and they released a lot of products
Second pro I'll give for convenient coil installation. First - it's the good old Velocity-style posts. Second - you're tighten the leads with the single screw. So it's definitely a pro
Anyway, I want to give it a pro for airflow adjustment. In here adjustment have 3 steps, which gives you have a lot of options. And for that versatility I'll give it a pro
A pro for option of using your own 810 drip tips. Especially because stock drip tip is so-so
And that's all regarding the pros, let's talk about price
The price of this RDA on 3fvape is 28.90$. Overall it's 29$ if we round it. It is average price for RDA in the internet. It's not that high nor that low - it's average. And this price is fine for RDA like this
Okay friends, it's time to finalize at this point
Aaaaahmm...I didn't tell you about the flavor
The flavor is there. And it's good. But it's all depends on coil installation. If you raise your coils above the airflow a little bit, you will get pseudo-bottom airflow
And this RDA is pretty short in height, so due to that the flavor is good. I like this RDA in terms of flavor and I will give it a major pro for that
And now we can finalize this review
I want to say big thanks to Augvape for sending me this RDA for this review
