Welcome dear friends to my new and quite foggy Video.
This time I review a new atty: This one.
This is the Aim-9 by Asvape. I am running it on my iJoy Limitless.
I like to show you all the details of this RDA, what kind of stuff you also find in its
packaging and how it works. As you might see, I am not where
I used to record my videos. I just moved with my family to a new home and we are not done
unpacking and building up my new recording set up. So I do not have my second camera
ready. This means I have to do this a bit old school with cuts to rearrange the camera
which I have not used since last year. And the first of those cuts is coming right ahead.
We will go into up-close view and I show you
this golden atty and whats with it. see you there.
So this is the Aim-9 by Asvape in close up. But before we take a look at the atty
itself, we should first take care of all the stuff it comes with.
It is packed in this sturdy plastic box. It is sealed up here.
If you rip of the seal it is visually marked as void. On the sides: The name,
a marker for the color of the coating. This is the front of the packing and on the backside
the information about the manufacturer
like phone number... yaddayaddayadda... Asvape Shenzen... and a scratch code to verify
the authenticity engraved. This box has a little trick to it. It does not
it does not open like normal. It slides open. I have experienced that the inlay becomes
loose, though.
Naturally, as I want to it to you it works. Okay now its loose. To remount it, I press it in like this till it clicks in the hinge.
So it works again. But lets move on. Atop the inlay we find the user manual. It is
rather short. It is printed on both sides of a small card
which is a bit smaller than a regular poker card.
It is written in English and shows the components of the device, some technical data,
how to mount coils and to use the air-flow-control and how to drip the Liquid in.
This is nothing new for anyone who is used to RD-attys of newer date.
Underneath we have the recess where the atty is placed and a
little cardboard box with extras. I have already unpacked those extras to
save some time in the review. We get one tiny zip bag with some cotton in it
and a second one with the spare parts.
For every gasket you find on this atty you have a spare in the
bag. Also we have two ready to use Clapton coils, if you want to wick the atty right away.
Last but not least we have four little headless screws. Finally, an Allen screwdriver
for those screws. It is not the most sturdy build, so make sure to use it with tactfulness
so you will not skim the notches.
But it is fine enough to fasten the screws on the atty strong enough to
hold the wires tight as you will see when I mount the coils.
Now to the atty itself. I did not put the on the sleeve firmly since if I did I would
have trouble to remove it. This is the gold colored version with the engraved symbol
of Asvape, consisting of entwined A S and V. It is made
from stainless steel. Beside this gold colored version I present you here
there is a version with out a colored coating, so you have the "natural" color of the steel.
Down here the center pin and the posts in the upside of the deck are gold-plated in both versions.
I am not sure if the rest of the gold colored coating is a gold plating or just gold colored.
But since Asvape does not state this and the center pin does reflect the light
differently I assume that it is just a gold colored coating.
Most likely a powder coating.
Down here we see an inscription: "Aim-9, design by Asvape"
and a serial number.
Since we also have the CE and other official symbols there should not be any problems
to import the device from that side. Let us move on to the deck. It offers
22 millimeters of useable diameter. The posts contain 2 holes
for your wire in a vertical array. The headless screws on the side hold the wire
and do a pretty decent job. So there is no
painful hassle to fasten your wires in the atty.
A really good way to handle this. The air is going through those grids from here
which causes the stream of air to become more turbulent by being sucked through.
This does improve the mixture of air and vapor so the transfer from liquid to vapor is better.
The air comes from those slots, which are cut in here and are very large.
With the slots cut in to the sleeve you can adjust
the size of open slot area.
when I am done wicking the atty I will show you how it works since I
would have to put the sleeve on completely to do this. But as with all attys of this
design you need to screw it on a mod to remove the sleeve again. And I do not think
that this does help the video now. Also we have a deep pool for Liquid down here. Asvape states
that the atty can hold about one milliliter of Liquid. I did not measure it,
but I could drip in about 15 drops of liquid into the atty without
any leaking, even when I hold the device
angular. So we can confirm that the atty can hold a decent amount of Liquid, I guess.
With a little pull you can remove the mouth piece. It made from plastics with 2 rubber rings
for sealing and stability. I do not see anything of particular interest here. This is the
opening for the vapor.
This concludes the makeup of the atty, which is quite similar to the basical makeup other RDAs
But you can say it is an established design which is implemented in this atty.
Well, next I want to show you how this atty does perform.
So I need to put on a new wicking. I already have prepared some steps before the shooting
of the video. Let me screw this back on. I have prepared these four simple coils of twisted
2x0.3mm NiChrome-Wire of rather large size. Each of them have 15 winds, so the wicking
is going to be quite high on ohms for a quad coil. I prefer it that way.
So let me mount the coils. Since it is easier for me to do it with out any commentating and it
is boring for you to watch while I do not talk, I will speed up in post production
and give you some music to listen to.
Ok, done wicking. I guess I will have to speed it quite a bit, since I had some trouble
to arrange the coils. Perhaps you could see in the speed up that I repeatedly put the sleeve loosely on, so I was able
to see if one coils has a direct contact to it. Naturally this has to be avoided at any costs,
since this would cause a short circuit. This forced me to test the arrangement and
correct it several times, so I was a 100% positive that everything is in order.
But now the effort seems to pay off and it looks fine.
The wicking went well, but I am quite sure that a quad coil like this is the biggest
kind of wicking you can mount on here. I have used a Coiler size 20
to wind the wicks.
So they are a bit wide in diameter. If you want to build even larger wickings you can wind them more narrow,
but I am sure it will be a challenge since you must be sure that the coils do not touch the sleeve
making the coil a short circuit. The distance of the posts is quite
large, so I made the coils as long as I did.
This can be also useful for larger pre made
coils like those flat wire Clapton coils or other ones that tend to be bulky.
If you use those coils you can place one coil on each side with out much
hustle. I have tried a dual coil with some wide winded flat-wire-claptons
on this atty, and it was no problem at all. I am sure
that similar setups will work here as fine. but now it is time to try the new wicking.
Let me switch on the Limitless and check my ohms.
Ok, we have a rating of 0.2 ohms. and with 4 coils I tend to raise the wattage up.
let me set it to 90 watts. This are about 22 watts per coil. Let us see how these coils glow.
Oh yes, that is so pretty. I hope my lung wount be kicked to hard by the hit of this vape.
For the test run I have prepared a liquid with 6mg/ml, which is quite low
for me. I usually use liquid with 12mg/ml. But with much
tamer set ups.
Next we need cotton in the wicking.
I will do this also with a speed up. it will not take so long
that most of will get bored.
So lets get it on.
Ok. I am done and the cotton is in place. A pointy device like a needle or a coiling pin
like this is quite useful to place the cotton nicely at the rim of the deck
and down here. It helps you quite well. I kept the cotton away from
the middle of the atty with purpose. Here I can drip in the liquid and it can sit in there.
This way I can fill in more liquid. It acts like a little pool, that
you can fill with liquid.
Since the atty sucks liquid like hell I recommend it. So lets add the liquid.
I put it on all the cotton all around the atty and make the cotton nice and moist.
The liquids flavor is a special mixture I have not vaped for a while and I am looking forward to it.
It is an American pancake with blueberries and some bacon.
It is sweet and fruity, but also slightly savory. Rounded up with a hind of maple sirup... a nice vape.
At least for me. some of you might disagree more or less.
But you do not have to vape it. I will. It is a bit hard to reach the inside of the coils.
So I aim for the center of the atty. Oh, and now I dripped into the air holes. As you can see: If you drip in there the liquid directly runs out here.
So I have shown you how not to do it.
I am using Muji-Cotton atm even though I am not a fan of it. I just do not have anything
else at hand around here. It is not very helpful to be
away from you usual recording space where you have everything around you. Ok, some more liquid into the center.
The cotton sucks the liquid from there in and brings it to the coils.
I think it is saturated now, because there is a puddle of liquid that stays.
This shows me that we have enough liquid in it.
Now I put the sleeve on. looks like everything worked out
as planned and the coils are well arranged. The ohms rating just dropped by 0.01. So somewhere in there
a little spot of the coil has contact to the sleeve, but not enough to care. I will speak more about that later.
Now I want to do my first vape of this atty and hopefully I will survive.
So if vaping becomes martial arts, you need this atty. Just one more time to keep the video watchable.
As I told you: approximately 20 Watts per coil makes a lot of vapor when you
have a quad coil.
Ok, let us talk about the air flow. This device is definitely not designed to
be used for MTL (mouth to lung) vaping. This classic style of inhaling, when you first suck
the vapour into your mouth and than to your lungs does not work with this device.
You can adjust the air flow with these slots as I told you before by turning the sleeve
and opening up or closing the slots, but you can forget it to
to adjust the air flow to a level where a pleasant mtl-vape is possible.
So if you prefer the MTL vaping like I do this device might not be the best choice
for you. But I have to admit it is still fun to use this atty.
At least with this kind of wicking. I tried two other builds on it and this
works best. Long and big coils with not to much wattage per coil.
If you use about 20 Watts per coil even the taste of the vapour
is quite good.
This is really nice. The biggest issues I have with those direct draw attys
is, that the taste is not transferred well. The vapour just goes to quick over your tongue to
get anything more than quick drive by glimpse of the taste.
This is not like I prefer to enjoy my vapes. But perhaps this is one of the reasons those
uber sweet liquids are so hyped now. They lack any other nuances but sweetness, so you
do not miss anything no matter your vaping style. This might be a cause
for this hype. The Liquid I am using at the moment has many nuances as I have
already described you and I get them quite good. Perhaps it is also helped by the fact that I
do a hybrid draw technic between direct and mtl, but the atty does help a well.
I am definitely not into cloud chasing of any kind, but I am very pleased of the amount of vapor
I get from this. Perhaps you like to see if any cloud chaser does a review about this
atty and what his or her verdict for this device might be.
Another positive point I like to mention is the mouthpiece up here.
As you can possibly guess the metal sleeve becomes a
bit warm after some time. but you do not feel this on your lips. The plastic of the mouthpiece
stops the heat quite efficiently. even when the sleeve becomes so
hot that touching it becomes very unpleseant
the palstic becomes only slightly warm. You will not burn your lipps.
Nicely done good piece of work. You can drip in here to refill.
You can at 10 to 15 drops on a relativ dry atty, depending on the amount of cotton of your wick.
On my build I will keep it to 10 drops, because the two extra coils
add more cotton to the atty, so the free room in the
atty is a bit reduced. You have to find out how much liquid works with your personal build up.
Just one last comment about the build up: I would never put this quad coil on a
mechanical mod. I see the risk of having a shurt circuit by accident
because one of the coils might touch the sleeve of the atty.
For this I would choose a decent dual coil which makes me sure that
it is placed nicely and without contact to the hull of the atty.
with a reguletable mod like the Limitless I feel much more save to build
more risky coils.
A nice addition in my opinion would be to have the Atty sleeve electrcally insulated.
Perhaps by including some ceramic or plastic
insulation on the inside of the metal sleeve so it would be save to use it
and even with a coil touching the sleeve there is no risk of short circuits.
Just a thought on the fly.
But letz me come back to the atty at hand.
I really like the atty. What keeps my form using this as
my regular device is the missing of a feeder system.
As you might guess, th atty is quite thirsty wth those build up.
So you have to refill quite often. And if you are used to drip with a feeder
like the vapemate it feels slightly impractical to drip without it.
Unfortunatly i can not use the VapeMate on it, because a) it does not fit on the atty
and b) its vapour holes are to narrow for a direct draw atty.
The VapeMate was designed when direct draw was generally unknown
so its only suited for MTL-Vaping. So lets conclude this with
the price for this device. I have seen it in a bunch of shops online.
They sell it for about 40 Euros. I think this is a fair price for a RDA like this.
I can not argue against it. A good quality, good screws...
Nothing that cause me to see the 40 Euros as unfair.
Works fine, looks fine, vapes fine. You can put nice build ups on it
and I did not have any negativ experiences with it. So this is all I have.
If you have any questions about this atty feel free to post them into the
comment section and I will do my best to answer them to the best of my ability.
So this is all folks! Thank you for watching.
See you later.
