Hey there!
Today our guest is 22mm RDA - Theseus RDA by Hugs Vape
Let's roll
Opachki! Hello everyone! Alex from VaperMD is with you and i'm glad to welcome you on my channel
And you will ask - why this thing doesn't chuck clouds at all?
Everything is simple, friends - this is single coil RDA
With side air intake, pseudo-bottom airflow and with pretty deep juice well
This RDA is made by absolutely new company Hugs Vape. Just recently I reviewed their first product and this is their second device
So let's not prolong the beginning and let's dive down
Okay, black packaging with writing Hugs Vape and name of the device on it. And of course the picture of the RDA
On the rear side we have a description of kit contents, information about manufacturer and warnings
Under the cove we're met by the RDA and extra 810 drip tip
At the bottom of the packaging, under the foam, is the thing that you shouldn't eat
A bag with spares - spare o-rings, T-shaped screwdriver, extra screws and regular pin, because initially BF pin was pre-installed into the RDA
And this little User manual with pictures
And now a little bit of specs. RDA is made of stainless steel and available in 3 colors - SS, Gun Metal and Black
It features 810 non-o-ring drip tips slot
Manufacturer assures us, that there will be 510 drip tips adapter in the kit, but unfortunately, I didn't have it in my sample
RDA is designed for single coil with vertical coil leads fixation, featuring side adjustable air intake and dual side pseudo-bottom airflow
Also this RDA initially supports BF mode, but in case if you want to - you can use it in standard mode as well
Overall, diameter at landing is 22mm
So, we're got to the detailed look and, as always, we start from the top, where we have 810 non-o-ring drip tip with these slight cutouts across the body
Also, in the kit we have an extra 810 non-o-ring drip tip and it's look like so
As you can see it has slightly wider bore
And, in case if you want to, you can use your favorite 810 non-o-ring drip tips with this RDA
The main thing is that diameter would fit
Moving forward, we stumble upon airflow adjustment ring
Yes, this top part is rotatable, it has these wave-like cutouts - it'll help you to get a good grab and rotate this part right or left
Unfortunately, this ring doesn't have a stopper, so it's scroll around and adjustment happens on both sides simultaneously, like so
This ring itself is held by two o-rings and, by running ahead, I'll say that these o-rings isn't that good
As you can see, there is no spherical machining inside, only slight notches for o-rings and inner part of the top cap isn't painted - it's painted only on the outside
Next part of the RDA is the barrel. The barrel has two o-rings on it, two airflow slots and two little notches inside to match keys on the deck
Thanks to this locking mechanism barrel section won't be scrolling around, so by grabbing this part it'll be comfortable to unscrew the RDA from your box mod or tube mod
And last thing we'll be talking about is the deck of this RDA
Yeah, this is pretty interesting deck. It's non-standard and non-classical, kinda in their own way
Yes, it reminds something, but despite this it's still made differently, not like everyone else does
Several airflow holes, which is pointed at your coil and it's sorta pseudo-bottom airflow
Air is taken from these two slots on the sides and after the air will go up
Visually it working, but we'll talk how the things is on practice and how's the flavor later
At the bottom we have a holes for coil leads and, of course, the screws, which will be tightening leads in the deck
One screw is on one side, other screw is on the opposite side
That's the key, which will be holding the barrel in place. As you can see, there is no key on the other side
And the juice well. It's very deep juice well. Don't forget, that cotton will be pretty long, so the juice well will accommodate a decent amount of liquid
We'll not be able to see one interesting detail - the hole in that tube at the bottom, because it's simply can't be seen
Through these holes the deck will be filling up with liquid when you use this RDA with squonk mod
And at the bottom we have information regarding the name of this RDA, manufacturers information, certificates and pre-installed BF pin in the insulator
Basically that's all the technical information regarding this RDA
Now let's talk about coil installation
As you can see, I already installed the coil - it took minimal amount of time - so I won't even waste your time on this, to not show how to install the coil, instead I'll wick it and vape it right away and not stretch the review
Overall, the coil is ready and glowing evenly, as you can see, so it's only left to wick it
Let's go
So, friends, everything is ready to get back to face-time and try this device in battle, as it says
Thanks for your attention in close up
Let's go back up top
It works
Single coil is working, it delivers pretty nice cloud production. Not as dual coil RDA, of course, but cloud production is decent. And the flavor is on point
But, anyway, the cons. There are cons and they are obvious. So let's talk about it
In my sample, which I got for review, 510 drip tips adapter is categorically missing
But yo, come on, guys, this is a 22mm single coil RDA after all - 510 drip tips adapter is absolutely essential
Yes, at this moment, at the site it's written, that 510 drip tips adapter is in the kit. Guys from Hugs Vape has heard us, reviewers, and made the right choice
So this 510 drip tip adapter will be in the kit, but I'm giving a con to the sample that I received, without 510 drip tip adapter
Next con I'll give for weak o-rings on the barrel, which is in charge for airflow adjustment - it's practically doesn't hold top cap. O-rings could've been thicker
This RDA is pretty loud. Can't say anything. It's loud. It make a noise and I guess it's because of a fact, that there is a lot of airflow holes
So be aware of this and let's move on
Next con I'll give for the fact, that it's uncomfortable to drip this RDA from the top
If you overdrip, the liquid will get to the airflow holes and after this it'll seep into air intake slots
But, guys initially pre-installed BF pin and they kinda telling us right away - this is BF RDA and it's bottom fill only
But if you, all of a sudden, decide to use it as regular RDA, like I do, be prepared to take off the top cap and fill the juice well
This RDA is heating up. If you throw there some crazy build, like I did, it'll get hot right away and even that 810 drip tip doesn't helping much
So you will feel hot vapor, so be prepared to either put other 810 drip tip or install smaller coil
And last nitpick goes for the fact, that not all 810 drip tips fits in terms of diameter - guys made top part too narrow, so many of my drip tips is simply wider than this RDA itself
And it's not cool
Overall folks, i'm done with the cons and nitpicks. Let's talk about pros
First pro to this device I'll give for good quality of manufacturing and machining
There isn't any burrs. It's kinda stupid to talk about burrs and metal shavings in 2018
Everything is well made, great machining quality, good quality of RDA, a pro to Hugs Vape
Next pro to this RDA I'll give for great idea and quality realization of the deck
It's non-standard deck. It's different and it's something new. And it's cool
Next pro I'll give to this RDA for simple coil installation. Just correctly cut the leads, throw the coil leads in the holes and tighten it by the screws
Coil installation takes minimal amount of time
Very decent juice well capacity. Juice well is 7mm deep and it's really deep
Besides, you're left with pretty long cotton on the sides and it's holding liquid as well
This RDA is accommodating large amount of liquid and I'm giving a pro for that
Another pro I'll give for the locking mechanism on deck. Unscrewing of this RDA from your mod will be comfortable
And last pro I'll give for flavor. Flavor is top notch, i'll rate it 8. Strong 8 with a hint on the 9
Overall, there is absolutely no issues with flavor, airflow do it's job and that's all for the pros
Okay, friends
We're be finalizing at this point, but as always - we will discuss the price
The price of this RDA is 29$ and I think it's a great price for such RDA
Again, this is absolutely average price tag, it isn't something exceptional. It's around 30$ and it's a good price tag
So, friends, I can confidently say my respect to Hugs Vape for this device
Well done, you're moving in the right direction. Improve the design and everything will be great
