I spent the evening playing around with Silverplay. I did a quick dual coil build (24g G-plat/10 wraps on 3/32 drill bit reading 0.21 ohms) and played around with Kayfun parts. Here is first impression verdict. I was being more critical than I usually am in this first impression review since I was looking for an RTA that REALLY performs like an RDA at mid to high wattage. As far as the performance goes, this is a winner.
PROS
- Superb Wicking: I chained-vaped it at 60 watts on a regulated mod, and I never got a dry hit or leaks from flooding.
- Wide Open Air Flow: The air flow is on par with regular RDAs. I was taking lung-hits with minimal restriction.
- RDA flavor: The flavor was comparable to an average RDA. Spectacular for an RTA.
- Ease of AFC: AFC ring is nice and snug. It's held by an o-ring, and it's not too tight or loose.
- Parts Compatibility: I was able to create a ridiculous Franken-Rocket from Kayfun/Russian91 parts I have.
CONS
- Low Fluid Capacity: I ran through 3 ml in less than 10 minutes during my chain-vape session.
- Noisy: It doesn't whistle, but it's loud. It quickly became annoying.
- No Single Coil Option
Overall, I am pleased with the purchase. It performed as expected, like an RDA. Although I wasn't floored, it says a lot for an RTA when it can compete with RDAs. There is still something left to be desired. The fluid capacity is ridiculously low for a supposed 'cloud-chasing' RTA that runs through juice like an RDA. And the deck was too small for decent clapton coils. The biggest build I could fit on the deck with 24g wire was 3/32 drill bit. I guess I will play around with more builds and see if I can improve the flavor.
