    Prof Reviews Le Petit Gros V2 by Vaponaute

    Six years? I posted it in January! I've several different 18350 batteries from eFest and Sibeili that are rated to 10+ amps -0.5ohm coils are fine with them

    Prof Reviews the MicroDrip from miniECIG

    I must confess to be very NON-.... about coiling, I tend to work on "use thinner for higher ohms" and pick from what I have. The wire used in the review is described by the vendor as "Twisted Kanthal A1 Type Wire - 0.2mm x 2 Wraps - (32 AWG)". I wrapped it around the second largest of the...

    Prof Reviews the MicroDrip from miniECIG

    I've been using it a fair bit since the review, I'm very pleased with the vape it gives - very decent hit with the coil I described above, good flavour and a good long vape between top-ups. I really do think it is remarkable value for money

    Prof Reviews the Hellfire Mini dripper from Attysmith

    Why I ended up buying this through a series of coincidences. I recently bought and reviewed a Hellfire V1 style Dripper from Attysmith and a Piccolo V4 from VapourArt. I visited the Attysmith website to post a link to my review and noticed that the HF Mini dripper was in stock. As this is...

    Prof Reviews the MicroDrip from miniECIG

    II'm Why? Back in January, I saw a post from minECIG about the Mini and MicroDrip RDAs. I was particularly struck by the low price for an authentic original design, so I ordered a MicroDrip which the idea of using it on my Pre use Simplicity 14500s... The total cost $25 including shipping...

    Prof Reviews the GP Piccolo v4 from Vapourart

    Why Most of my mods (all mechs) are 18xxx battery models (18350, 18500 and Telescopic) in 22mm or 20mm diameter. However I have a number of "slim" atomisers: Sophia (with slim tank), Spheroid, EBaron Dripper Spiral, Grail for Diver, Grail306, Mark T Infinity, and Bulli A2. I only have three...

    Prof Reviews the Hellfire Raptor from Attysmith

    It can deliver a LOT more air than the Marquis. Having both, I would say they are very different in the vape they deliver, both good though

    Prof Reviews the Jakiro RDA from UD

    Why? I've never bought a sub-£20 atomiser before and as someone had mentioned this on the UKV forum I looked it up and found that TW were selling it for £19.99. As it was a original design from UD and had some distinctive features I thought I'd give it a whirl and ordered one. The Jakiro...

    Prof Reviews the Hellfire V1 style dripper from Attysmith

    Why? I had no intention of buying this, but when I visited the Attysmith site (to look at something Raptor related) and noticed there was something else actually available, my interest was piqued... I was amused by the name V1 "style" dripper - if it wasn't on the Attysmith site, such a name...

    Prof Reviews the Derringer RDA from Praxis

    Why I was looking for a 22mm RDA that was "even smaller" than things like my Hobo to use with my Petit Gros... What did I get? The Derringer came reasonably quickly and on opening the parcel, I found two zip bags. The first contained (yet another) hex key and a couple of very small spare...

    Prof Reviews the Hellfire Raptor from Attysmith

    Why? Two reasons: firstly I've never owned a Hellfire device, and secondly, I fancied a second "designed for vertical coils" RDA. The Raptor seemed a good choice, and when I looked there were some on the Attysmith website. I arrived very quickly too... What did I get? No fancy...

    Prof Reviews the NeoVapeTek Venturi RDA Atomiser (V2)

    Why? To be honest, I bought this a bit on the spur of the moment. I was looking at the Cloud 9 website, saw it, thought "interesting", and ordered it. It arrived in the usual super-fast C9 manner, nicely wrapped in blue tissue with a chocolate toffee. What did I get? The Venturi came in...

    Prof Reviews the Hobo v2.1 RDA

    Authentic please! (Especially if you plan to put it on a Petit Gros)

    Prof Reviews the Atmomixani Striker 510 RDA

    Why? The Striker has been around for quite a while, and I had no intention of buying this, but my attention was drawn to the fact that Self-e-Steam.com in the Netherlands were offing various Atmomixani products at silly prices and that the Striker 510 RDA was 35 Euros! What I got A nice...

    Prof Reviews Le Petit Gros V2 by Vaponaute

    Why? Two reasons - I like 18350 devices for "out and about", plus this Le Petit Gros was up for sale (unused "taken out of the packaging for photos") in the Classifieds on another forum and I got a modest saving... Actually (a Cardinal Biggles moment) there was a third reason - I've got more...
