    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 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 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...

    Prof Reviews the Hobo v2.1 RDA

    Why? I purchased this atomiser from P-Vaper back in late October when I had an attack of "new attyitis". There was no special reason other than others had suggested it as one to look at. I was busy "Professoring" at the time and didn't get around to reviewing it. So, as it needed re wicking...

    Prof Reviews the Indulgence Mutation X V2

    Why did I buy it? To be honest, there was no really good reason! I visited our local vape lounge/shop - Social Vaping - in Stafford and Mike, the owner, told me they had their first "Cloud Chasing" atomiser in stock. Mike's stock is pretty mainstream (although he does sell eFest and...

    Prof reviews the Marquis RDA

    Why? I picked up that the Marquis was forthcoming and liked the preview video. Also I've had good experiences dealing with Avid Vaper over the years, so I was quick to order one of these as soon as Avid announced they were available. I liked the idea of a Dripper that made it easier to...

    Prof Reviews the Super T Precise Workhorse Telescopic

    Did I need this? Probably not, but the idea of a robust made "ELA-alike" at HALF the price of the ELA stimulated my "of course you want it - you NEED it" centre and I succumbed... In rapid turn, the mod appeared from Cloud 9, wrapped in blue tissue and contained in one of Super T's "velvet"...

    Prof reviews the Screwdriver Mk3B from cavecom.com

    I never though I'd be doing another Screwdriver review! Why? Three things persuaded me (not including "what not, what the hey" and curiousity): 1) SDs are a sort of "retro vape" to me - my first big battery device was a Mk1 SD purchased in April 2009. 2) All my old SDs are 901 fitting -...

    Prof Reviews the Super T Precise Workhorse 18500

    You will know that I have a fair collection of Super T products (the oldest going back getting on for five years). This has come about because I have always been pleased with the manufacturing standards of the products - which always have a really "engineered feel" to them. This has been...

    Prof reviews the RSM Hybrid Dripper 18350

    How did this come about? I've met Rocket Scientist Matt a couple of times and he is a lovely chap - but last time we met (at the last Manchester Vape Meet) he turned up with examples of the various sizes of his forthcoming Hybrid Dripper. A combination of chatting, beer and the beauty of the...
