Vapor DNA SilverPlay RTA review

[BlkWolfMidnight]

Howdy,

So I received from someone in my circle of friends a SilverPlay RTA, I wasn't too sure with the lack of reviews but lets say blown away. lets start with technical.

Material
Stainless Steel, Quartz Glass and Copper (center post only)

Build Deck
Split center post for ease of building. Post screws are Phillips somewhere between #0 and #1 size.
Generous channels for juice flow
3mm holes on either side under coils for airflow
Small cut outs in deck to fan wicking in to (this is a primarily cotton or rayon atomizer and is built for it).
Accepts most Kayfun and Russian 91% parts for a unique build possibility
Bottom fill screw (Tapered so no o-ring needed for seal)

Atomizer build quality
Amazing, threads are buttery smooth right out of the box (speaking of box it is an amazingly presented atomizer for the price). Nothing is mis-aligned upon expecting although factory tightening may require some oomph to separate it at first. This atomizer holds 3ml of liquid at full which can either be good or bad. Stainless steel and glass tank system to hold those tank cracker juices. Engravings are well done and clean as can be as well as the lines overall.

Price point: 40$

Impressions
I'm running this atomizer at an 11 wrap 26 gauge build @ .5 ohm on this and 25 watts of heat using rayon as the wicking, it keeps up with ease without any gurgling and no spill over on to the deck if wicked properly and using the cut out groves for the cotton to sit in (a little in the channels won't hurt as they are large enough to allow efficent wicking). The tank drys up quickly as this is a duel coil atomizer so it will drink up the liquid without even skipping a beat keeping up with whatever heat you want to put on it. The chimney separates in to 2 parts which will most def. make anyone who built a kayfun or Russian right at home with it. something I learned with this atomizer is ensure that you use the left most hole on the center post to allow the coil to line up over the air hole. Installation of the coil was as straight forward and easy as it gets when it comes to the build of it, don't be put off at the descent of the negative posts as everything somehow lines up without issues to my surprise.

Vapor production and flavor is off the charts, I can't really compare it to any RTA out there on the market at current (and the goblin is limited availability). This thing chucks vapor and flavor together full bore without even missing a beat in truth, the chimney is a bit of a reason why the liquid tank is only 3ml but given that little but of an issue should not put anyone off from giving this atomizer a go. Please do keep in mind this is an advanced build atomizer and is not for someone new in to the RTA market, it will take some caution to not short the coils out on the chimney of this and some care needs to be taken there of but once your comfortable with not doing that (or ask a friend to build it out) you won't put it down. I'd compare this vaping experience to what my Mutation X v2 can put out.

Overall there is no reason not to pick this atomizer up, it keeps on giving and giving without skipping a beat and the flavor is right there on top draw after draw. Some of those juices you may have forgotten may get new life once again in this puppy.

Rating: 8/10

Cons
3mL Liquid capacity
Height of the atomizer itself is a bit taller then I'd expect (its larger then the goblin from a side by side I found)
No "All Glass" option available from the start for tank (could be resolved by offering a retainer ring for the bottom for the glass)

Thank you! Very good, comprehensive and well written review.

 

[BlkWolfMidnight]

Thank you,

One thing I forgot to add is that this is a Duel Coil only atomizer, If your looking for a single coil option with performance I'd suggest the Lemo or Lemo Drop.

Also Vapor DNA has them back in stock if interested.

 

[Wolfenstark]

This one does read good , do you have a goblin or considering one ?

 

[Niten13]

I was considering the Goblin, but pulled the trigger on the Silverplay first. I have to say your review is spot on! Mine was super tight to pull apart at first but I coiled her up, running Dual 26 ga at .8 ohms wicked with cotton. Tucked it into the top of the channels with my small screwdriver (base of the chimmney on) and filled her up.

Not a single Dry hit, even chain vaped her at 45 watts and this thing chucks like no other. Also really can tighten down the airflow to a really tight draw for MtL hits and lots of flavor.

I have a Drop and dig it when I get it happening right. I've been looking at the Goblin and the Silverplay so these comparisons are helpful.

I'm on the waiting list for a Goblin, not being a known reviewer and or my luck never dropping in sync (money issues or just timing) didn't allow for this one. Hopefully if the stars align right then I'll have a goblin to review as well. Reviewing the technical specs though one thing I can add.
The SilverPlay will accept a larger gauge wire then the goblin, also the build deck is slightly larger but I suspect the real deal will be a flavor comparison on them. Will see how that rolls out.

Maybe I should put up my hand to review stuff, never really put myself out there but the words of encouragement are really appreciated so will look in to that .

you can run the silverplay with one coil if you block off the two channels for the missing coil with thick , packed cotton i a reverse "U" configuration. i have run it that way without any leaking. when screwing down the chimney use it almost like a saw to make sure the wick is firmly seated in the channels- .5 twisted coil at 25 watts and it vapes like a champ. good to know when you are limited to just one coil and still wish to use your silverplay. all told, i have ignored everything (including my kfl v4) after using the silverplay. as stated, the flavor and vapor are unsurpassed with a heavy emphasis on the flavor- just superb. the inconvenience of bottom filling with a screw is more than made up by the quality of the vapor. at less than $40(with the often posted $10 coupon mine was $29) this is a steal. grab one and start enjoying a great rta......

I found that works as well if you want to use single coil config but even if you don't can bump up the gauge of wire to 32 6/7 wrap put this atty at 1.2'ish ohm and that will fire on most mods and will put a Aspire to shame any day or night. The bottom screw gets a bit annoying but since its a vacuum style tank you would have to have some way to seal it, a top fill screw option would be great to see however, remember I did mention that it will use most Kayfun and Russian 91% parts. I recall reading that there was a top cap that was top fill for the KFL and that set up evidently will fit the SilverPlay (not confirmed because I don't have kayfun parts).

Its worth every penny thus far I'd say, but I'll give the Goblin its fair play chance to so not picking a winner in this match up yet.

I have the Silverplay in my cart and thought I'd take a look around ECF and get some opinions before I pulled the trigger. I have one question and this is what gave me pause. Is there any leaking from the deck where the additional airflow is? I always worry about that after the Magma.

I've been using my Silverplay for over 2 weeks, and I have not had any leaks. If your deck does flood for whatever reasons (ie. bad wicking, tight draw, etc.), it will be leaking from the main air holes before it leaks from the side air holes.

I can say with confidence that this is the best damn RTA out there right now. Although the tank design is bit flawed as it restricts juice flow and has low juice capacity, the deck design with its wide open air flow and superior wicking ability more than makes up for it, especially if you have spare Kayfun/Orchid parts.

oh wow, the AP is compatible with Kayfun/russian/orchid parts? If that is the case, that may end up being the game changer between the goblin and silver play sukinf it out for which will join my arsenal first. Despite how beneficial that future would be though, the bottom line determining factor for me comes down to flavor density, clarity, and throat hit (since I'm pretty sure both the goblin jd silver play will chuck the clouds no problem, it all is really coming down to the flavor.) im yet to see, red, or hear, a shoot out between the two, surprising as that is, since I've seen previews of the matchup but no final actual comparison. Damn it, someone needs to get on that review comparison so I can put one of these little beauty's in my cart and (hopefully I'll be able to...)subsequently add her into my ADV rotation

Yeah, I was on the fence about it too between Goblin and Silverplay when I went looking for a performance RTA. I had a chance to play with my friend's Goblin and try a couple builds on it, and I was impressed at the flavor and air flow, so I pre-ordered one. Well, when I received my Silverplay, I was even more impressed than I was with Goblin, so I cancelled Goblin pre-order and ordered another Silverplay instead.

Yes, other than the fact that SP had better flavor and air flow, one big selling point of SP was its compatibility with Kayfun/orchid parts. I have been having so much fun with it trying out different parts and completely customizing it to my liking/need of the day.

I wouldn't even wait for a comparison review. Do Get Silverplay! You won't regret it. Maybe below thread will convince ya. Some of the crazy/cool/quirky SP builds I've tried.

Yesss, I've been dying to see a thorough comparison between the SP and the Goblin. Mainly I wanna know about which has better wicking, flavor, and build quality. I'm just itching to pull the trigger on one of these so I can't wait for this shoot out to come out, surprised no one has done it yet since tons of ppl have been requesting it.
Great review btw =]

 

[sahsah]

Sorry, I meant SP*, sometimes I just can't understand what the autocorrect was thinking, you'd think by now they'd have it dialed in not to .... up your posts so often lol

I'm really starting to favor the SP, in terms of which RTA to throw my hat in with, especially since all of these complaints have been coming out about the goblin screws not making secure connection with any guage wires above 24, which is still problematic bc of how tiny the build deck is. I've also read several accounts of owners saying they've had their goblin's screws snap their leads on numerous occasions. So unless I see a revision that addresses all of these issues before I find a silverplay in stock I believe I've finally been able to make my mind up between these two sought after VAPING behemoths.
Ps. Thanks for the great review, I'd love to see more reviews from you, possibly on YouTube. You seem like you've got the meticulous, genuine, and thorough nature/character that would be well suited towards the position. All the best and happy Vaping. =]

Why, what advantage do KAYFUN parts provide, besides perhaps the asthetic benefits? Are there any functional incentives to frankensteining the silverplay with some Kayfun parts?

You have no idea how badly I wish I would have while it was still in stock, but for the past few weeks I haven't been able to find the goblin or the silverplay in stock anywhere =[
