Hey there! Today our guest is Lotus RTA by new company HugsVape. Let's roll!
Hey hey hey! Hello everyone! Alex VapersMD is here and I'm glad to welcome each one of you on my channel
So, HugsVape. Absolutely new Chinese company, comes from another very famous vape company
I won't be revealing all cards, but I know these guys very well and I think they have interesting future
So, it's a first shot of this company. We'll speak in details about this Lotus RTA
Without delay, let's dive down
Okay, folks, here is the black packaging with HugsVape logo. There is a picture of a device and there is inscription Lotus RTA
And here we have a very interesting thing. This thing is for measuring leads of the coils and cut them correctly. I'll show you how it's working a little bit later, when we will be installing coils
On the rear side we have a description of kit contents, a little bit information about manufacturer, it's written that it's made in China and fair amount of certificates
And, under the cover, we are met by the RTA itself and spare bubble glass
Also in the kit we have a bag with spares, which includes spare screws, spare o-rings, T-shaped screwdriver and 510 drip tips adapter
And of course this shit, which you shouldn't eat
Yes, there it says DO NOT EAT me
We're moving on and now let's talk about specs
This RTA is made out of stainless steel and available in 5 colors - Black, SS, Gun metal, Gold and Rainbow...How to live without Rainbow, dam
It features slot for 510(with adapter) and 810 drip tips, top fill with slider top cap, tank capacity is 2ml and can be increased up to 5ml by bubble glass
Deck is design for dual coils only, it have bottom airflow and airflow is adjustable. Diameter of this device is 24mm
And, as always, we start from the very top, where we have 810 non-o-ring drip tip, apparently in a shape of lotus - look at its curve
This drip tip feels comfortable in the mouth, but I can't say i'm fully satisfied with this drip tip, I get used to other drip tips and besides, it's pretty hard to take off
You need to try hard to take it off, it's pretty slippery and there isn't something to grab to take it off
Let's continue talking regarding drip tip. I faced another issue - when I tried to find a matchy matchy from my own 810 drip tips, I had seen overhang, which is bothering my inner perfectionist
You will be seeing this overhang all the time, as you can see, all of my 810 drip tips, drip tips from the US manufacturers, have overhang. It going to be very hard to find fitting drip tip, so I'm gonna leave the kit one
Next goes the top cap for top filling. As you can see there is an arrow, which tells us to push it that way, so after we did it slides and opens up
And here we can see two slots for filling, silicone gasket and the key, which holds this top cap in place, while it's closed
So it's like that - shift it to open, fill the tank, close it and slide it back
But there is a certain nuance because of that - there will be slight gap due to the mechanism itself
Let's continue disassembling the device. Now we can unscrew top part - a glass with a bell, to do this we need to unscrew it counter clockwise
And here we're going to encounter another issue - glass isn't holding.
So if you need to get inside, let's say the cotton has shifted and you need to correct it, because RTA has begun to leak , you will be unable to do this without draining the liquid completely, because glass isn't holding on it's place and won't be holding the liquid
Overall, this is one of the main issues of this tank
Inside we can see, I don't even know, a spherical or conical machining and that's basically it, because this part is a single piece
Also we have a Lotus engraving on the bell
And now we're going to talk about the main thing - the deck of this device. Yes, this is postless deck, or to be more exact posts for vertical coil installation
This device is for dual coils only and it have a bottom airflow
Guys call it conditioner or something like that
Also it's GTA system - genesis tank atomizer - when liquid get to the cotton from the bottom and cotton is sorta in a juice well
You will be fixating coil leads with flat head screws on both sides
A little bit lower we have the airflow adjustment ring - the air is taken from both sides and on the bottom of a tank we have 510 connection, inscription Lotus RTA, HugsVape, a link to manufacturer's site and nice protruding pin
So, friends, this kind of RTA is come out by guys from HugsVape. And I think it's time to build this tank and install dual coils in it
But before we do that, let's figure out how this plastic Coil Trimming Tool works
Basically, there's all we need to know on this side - you can measure the post size, after that stick the leads through the hole and cut it by the needed length
For this tank I've chosen 4.5mm length. So, I will found corresponding hole and stick coil leads into it, as you can see it's kinda long for a 4.5mm, so we can cut excess wire.
So let's take a wire cutter and simply cut excess wire like so
Now we have two perfectly even coils for installing them in this RTA
I'll be using this thing with pleasure, it's really interesting
For example, Skill RTA posts, let's measure them, what size we have here? Nope, it's too much. I guess something from this side will fit - here, 4.5mm. So that's the coil leads length we need
Yea, this is my 0.05Ω coil for testing. Rest in peace
Okay, we're ready to build this tank, so. Music. Let's roll
So, friends, everything is ready for getting back to face-time and try this device's flavor, cloud production and, of course, discuss its pros and cons
Thanks for your attention in close up
Let's go up
Opachki!
It's tasty. It's really flavor chaser RTA
Small chamber, bottom airflow, everything positively affect the flavor. And as always, I found some cons. Let's go and discuss the cons
First con I'll give for 810 drip tip. Yes, this drip tip isn't that comfortable. I'd like to use my own 810 drip tip, but, unfortunately, I can't do this, because diameter of my drip tips is wider than fit of this tank
Also it's very hard to remove this drip tip and HugsVape know about this issue, they pointed it out for me by themselves.
They said that they have this issue with removing of drip tip and probably in retail version there will be other drip tip. We'll see. Right now it's hard to take off the drip tip and the drip tip fit is not the best
Next con I'll give for the top cap. I believe that such top caps isn't the best solution for RTA. Yes, it's convenient, you don't need to take off the top cap, you don't need to think where to put the cap after you unscrewed it
But, in process of usage, there is a high chance that, when parts will wear off a bit, depressurization of the device may occur
So, I think, that top caps which can be screwed is far more durable and reliable
And the main major con of this device - the lack of access to the deck when tank is filled
The glass is absolutely doesn't hold on the top part of the tank
And in case if something goes wrong with your coils and you will need to get inside - in any case you will must to drain the tank completely. It's very inconvenient, it's uncomfortable and for this I'm giving the MAJOR con to this tank
So, friends, I'm done with the cons, let's talk about nitpicks
And I have nitpick for wicking. Yes, this is a good old wicking, we've seen it many times before, but here we can ran into some issues.
If the cotton will get to the threads at the moment when you screw down the bell, as a result we can get over-saturation and RTA may leak, because cotton will be shifted
Not happened to me, I managed to launch it from the first time, but some of you may experience this issue, so be careful when wicking
And now it's time to talk about pros. There is also the pros here, of course
First pro to this tank I'll give for the quality of machining. Great threads, nice fit of parts, though yes, glass is a let down, but overall I like the quality of a device. I'm interested - what will be next
Convenient coil installation. In the matter of fact it's plain simple, especially with this thing it's very convenient, when you know the length of the leads of a coil. Cut, install, tightened the screws, everything simple
Next pro I'll give for a great draw - it's very nice and soft draw. It's direct lung draw with nice restriction
Also cloud production is on point, and we're going to talk about the flavor right now
And last, an I guess the most important pro of this RTA is the flavor. The flavor from this device is great. Bottom airflow, small chamber, as I said before, and all of this positively affects on the flavor
I like the flavor on this device a lot, so I give it a MAJOR pro
Alright, friends, let's discuss the price
The price is standard. Standard for any Chinese device - 35$. Pretty familiar price and it's on one site that I found. I think this device will appear on familiar sites later and maybe the price will be lower
Who I can recommend this device to? I think to all who likes vaping on dual coils, to all those people who likes bottom airflow and to all those people who likes RTA's
Basically, this is a familiar device, you won't get any problems with it when you'll be launching it for the first times. Maybe later something may occur, but this will tell only long period of usage
Yes, 2ml is maybe not that much for dual coil device, but you have bubble glass extender, which will increase capacity up to 5ml and which I do not welcome this
Though bubble glass is kinda trend on the market now, many people use it and maybe I'll use it in my devices
I perfectly understand, why HugsVape had chosen 2ml as main capacity - to cover all vape market, including European market, on which the TPD acts, which restricts tank capacity down to 2ml
Okay, friends, at this point I'll finalize
I want to say big thanks to HugsVape for sending me this RTA for review
I want to wish bright future to this company, as well as interesting ideas and low price tags
