I was just gifted two of them. At the $30 price point it's a winner (even at $45). Own REO grands and a CC is my daily driver. Using only for 24 hours so no idea on longevity. I can tell you it's not going to have the durability of either of those mods but, IT'S $30!

People might be thrown off by lack of VW but, it hits hard and consistently. I decided to use the provided rda and pre built coils for testing sake. I found I needed to raise the coils off the deck more to align with the rda air openings. Also, I like the air flow closed off to half using the top cap control.

I'm impressed. No leaks. Bottle squeezes easy enough. Liquid dispenses into the deck around the outer edge of rda through a number of holes and drains well. Battery cap is adjustable for any size variation in batteries.

The mod itself is actually a identical to my CC in every dimension but, just a tad shorter. That's compact. 7ml 18650. Very lightweight. 5 clicks on/off.

There's a plastic "cork" that slides up and down the metal feed tube and appears to seal the tube when the bottle is removed. If so it's a pretty neat design. On the negative side could be something that breaks removing the bottle.

Things I can see breaking even in my brief time are definitely the magnetic bottle door. Flimsy. Someone over squeezing the bottle could possibly bend the metal feed tube. Other than internal failure that's it. Did I mention $30?

Oh and removing the bottle is a little tricky, forgot that. Also, I could see changing flavors being more of an issue with this design than a REO or CC. Thoroughly getting previous flavor out might be a little more work.

Rda is re-buildable. I could be wrong but, 510 doesn't appear to be adjustable or spring loaded so may not work with all RDAs.

I think it's a great introduction to bottom feeding, squonking or whatever you may like to call it...
I thought the same thing or did a reviewer mention it (vaping biker maybe??) I can't recall .... But that plastic cork would've have been perfect for stopping the back flow of juice while refilling ..... But it doesn't stop the liquid at all ..... It Looks like that neat lil invention was only in our minds huh.... Lol

Mine definitely seems prevent run out...or at least slow it enough to not be an issue in the time it takes to fill the bottle and pop back on...

If it seems to slow it down or not leak its an illusion.... because if you look at the bottom of the feed tube the plastic cork is hollow..... And doesn't block those 2 holes on either side of it.... Yours isn't leaking because you've probably vaped it dry. The bottom of the cork if made the same or a bit smaller to the bottom gold piece would do the job as it is it doesnt cover the holes at all.....From what I've observed??

If you want to conduct a little test sqounk a full bottle take the bottle off and push a plastic cork all the way down..... And watch it pool. They were so close to a neat lil feature.

Yes hollow, just hollow enough to fit around the flange on the bottom of the feedtube creating a semi-seal. Any pooling comes from the cork itself.

I just set it over a paper towel, when filling the bottle, or just vape it dry.
I'm just wondering how to clean this thing.
Probably use a syringe to flush the feed tube and Q-tips everywhere else.
The REO does have the advantage there, just rinse and dry.
When I first got mine I used boiling water with a few drops of dawn dish liquid in the bottle then I squeezed into a towel, refilled repeated 3 times, then ran hot water through the same way to clear the soap..... Cover the 510 with a towel when doing this because there isn't a seal on top of the mod and I was afraid of getting the electronics wet... Then I used same wash soaked the rda and cleaned with toothbrush..... I did this because I got a machine oil coming from the rda and a strong plastic smell from the bottle....it worked very well!!

I do the same with just hot water when switching flavors. I'm sure I could've put the rda on it instead of a towel and cleaned both with the dawn but I didn't want the oil getting in the bottle or plastic smell into my rda. I used q tips with iso alcohol 91%.... to get the outer feed tube all the up to the plastic cup under the 510.

I'll respectfully have to disagree... I saw wayyyyy to much liquid come out to only come from the hollow Part of that small cork.

Next time, remove the bottle slowly being sure the cork seats on the flange. Is it a permanent seal? No. Enough to do what you have to and reinstall the bottle without a total mess. Yes

I do that with every refill it doesn't stop the flow for me..... if it works for you that's good!! When I take my bottle off, I always pull the cork all the way down bottom of the cork seems to look even with the bottom of the gold piece and by the time a refill my bottle.... I'll have a mess the size of a nickel.....what I have learned, is to vape it a little more dry and not sqounk right before a refill.

And .. I always wipe that cork with a damp paper towel when I'm refilling... To get a good seal when re-inserting the filled bottle.
