UD Simba RTA

[cooladdict]

New UD rta with ceramic coils! This one comes with both a kanthal and a stainless steel coil as well as the rba section. I found it here UD Simba RTA Tank - 4.5ml on pre-order.

There are a couple of things that really interest me with this one, including the anti-splashback/vapor control feature built into the chimney and on the bottom of the drip tip.

I like the condensation ring, too.

I'm not much of a rebuilder, but I love ceramic coil tech, so I definitely have my eye on this one!

I will definitely be buying this for the ladyfriend. There's no official page for this?

Thanks for the link! Looks very interesting!

There is! Looks like Almighty Evan started a thread in the Heaven Gifts sub forum.

bumping this thread, because looking deeper, this tank deserves it.
Really like the ceramic coil tech starting to take off, and this tank uses both premade ceramic coils AND has an RTA section, plus a good capacity. If the airflow is there, this could be a real winner.

Looks pretty interesting. Might have to watch this one...

I really like both of my Youde RTA's that I own. I've yet to hop onto the ceramic hype train thus far. This could be a way to give it a try, just to see what all the fuss is about. I'm sure i would just end up using it purely as an rta, but at least I could say I've tried ceramic

Thanks for posting. I'm gonna keep an eye out for reviews. So many other items on my wish list already. Vaping makes me wish that I owned a magic money tree.

I think so, too! It looks like it has something for everyone. UD apparently added the RDA after the initial samples were sent to reviewers, which I think is great. I love it when a company responds to the wants and needs of its customers!

The ceramic tech is what caught my eye first. I am not much of a rebuilder but I love that I can get an equivalent flavor and vapor experience from ceramics. I am pretty excited to put it to the test!

How about some more pictures? I like that there is a plug for one side of the RDA if you want to do a single-coil build.

Okay, it's official. I have a new favorite tank!!! This Simba is incredible. I took 40 pictures of every piece of it and I will post them here as requested. I absolutely LOVE this thing. It's hands-down the most customizeable tank I have ever had. The draw can be anywhere from SUPER tight for MTL to opened up all the way for huge clouds. It came with a SS ceramic coil, which I am vaping on right now, a ceramic and cotton dual-coil, and the RDA head. The head has a plug so you can do either 1 or 2 coils on it.

I threw in the SS coil, not expecting much because I have just not had any luck whatsoever with anything but kanthal (and nickel in VW mode, but it's not recommended), and loaded it up with some brand new Dutch Apple Pie from Vape Wild. Even unsteeped the flavor is out of this world. I have it on my white iStick 100w TC at 350 degrees inn SS mode and it's perfect. I started at 390 and it was just a tiny bit too warm, so I adjusted it down and that's IT. I have never, EVER had such an easy time with a TC coil!!! The drip tip is a trip (ha!). It has a self thingie on the chimney and the tip itself so it can be opened up or closed down, so you can adjust that, the air flow AND the juice flow. There is zero leakage. None.

Here's a few pictures of the box and contents. I don't want to post all of the pics I took at once because there are just too many, but let me know what you want to see and I will get them up!

Are you beta testing, or how did you get it? Also do you have a Bellus to side by side compare it to in a photo? Or even a VTC mini to put it on for a photo?

I got it to review. Mine is a sample. I am SUPER impressed with it so far. The flavor and vapor are incredible.

I don't have a Bellus or an Evic, but I have lots of tanks. I have iSubs, the Apex, iSub S, Atlantis 1 and 2, Reaper Plus, Cuboid, Target, Ecotank, and Tobeco Super Tank within eye shot. I probably have a couple of others, but I can't think off hand what they are right now. I can post it next to any of those if you wish.

More pictures! Here's what the RDA section looks like:

and this is the SS ceramic head.

Views of the tank looking up the chimney from the bottom, down from the top through the juice fill holes, and the base with it's ceramic juice collection/condensation ring.

These pictures show the tank with the juice flow holes closed and then opened up all the way. I have everything on my tank opened up all the way and vapor production is incredible, as is flavor.

Breakdown of the tank parts. It's easy to see just why this tank doesn't leak at all! The gaskets are super heavy duty, and there is a ceramic pad in the air flow ring to collect even more condensation. The tank does get pretty warm, but the warmth is centered mostly in the base and the glass part. The air flow ring and the tip do not get uncomfortably warm. Taste is not affected at all by the heat, which is great!

And the drip tip! When I saw the design of this chimney and tip I have to say I was skeptical. I like to run a Q-tip down the chimney of my tanks to sop up juice and check the color of the residue to see if it's time for a coil change, and I knew I wouldn't be able to do that with this tank. I was VERY surprised at how well this design works, though! I have mine opened up all the way (which is half of the width of the chimney) and it's simply amazing. There is zero spitback from the SS ceramic coil, so I don't need to worry about sopping up juice, but I can do my Q-tip maneuver when I have the cap off to fill the tank, so I am not missing out on anything anyways. MTL vapers will love this design because you can get a SUPER tight draw with the air flow closed down and by adjusting the tip to an almost closed position. It's so cool!
