    Wotofo Profile 1.5 RDA review by KingPin!

    Hi Folks, 10 Points for guessing which one below is the Profile V1.5?... I ask this because in my mind there are 5 categories a version update falls into; “We liked the name, but the previous version was a bit poo so we attempted to change it” “We wanted to make it again...

    Wotofo Recurve Dual RDA Review by KingPin!

    Hi Folks, The wait is over, the recurve 2 is finally here…I’ve been eagerly awaiting its arrival since the original was released last year, hoping to see whether Mike and Wotofo would nail it. Whilst we were patiently waiting there was the release of the Reload S RDA, a slightly awkward moment...

    Morningstar Modz - Reactor Mech Review by KingPin!

    Hi Folks, Believe it or not, it’s not often I get the opportunity to speak to the founder and director of a company before starting a product review. Not only that but actually meeting them in person. Such is charisma and enthusiasm of this guy, it just draws you in. In fact I’d go as far as...

    Vapefly Brunhilde Top Coiler RTA Review by KingPin!

    Hi Folks If only this review medium played background music as you read my musings, I’d feel obliged to play “Ride of the Valkyries” for this review…oh well, you can always play it in the background, get a dinner jacket on, and an e-pipe on the go or something…for we have the warrior princess...

    Hi Folks, Back in July 2017 Smoant ran a competition to design a mod on multiple sites (including Vaping Underground). The winning entry was from FreakeSport on Reddit, who put forward an idea for a dual battery Squonker with a gargantuan bottle inside it. I have to say the...

    Coilart Lux200 Kit Review by KingPin!

    Hi Folks, To my knowledge this is the second regulated mod to come from the CoilART camp. They switched things up a bit from the Mage 217 box mod by incorporating a new chipset named “Eagle”, which I’m told is proprietary. In addition they got a lending hand from an Italian fashion designer...

    Wotofo Ryujin Elder Dragon RDA Review by KingPin!

    Hi Folks, We have something a little different from the Wotofo camp, and I have to say this RDA is a breath of fresh air incorporating design inspirations from Japanese reviewer Ryusei Sakaue.

    Wotofo Serpent Elevate RTA Review by KingPin! (inc. Wicking Guide)

    Hi Folks Top airflow and single coil atomisers have arguable dominated the review landscape this year, I imagine this latest RTA is one of the last hurrah’s we’ll see before the herd shifts onto pastures new for 2019. I wonder where the trends will shift? ...Squonking is here to stay, and...

    Hi Folks Following on the heels of the Charon Mini comes the Naboo.

    Vapefly Pixie RDA Review by KingPin!

    Hi Folks, When Vapefly first contacted me about this particular RDA, it was pre-release, they said “Hey King, you wanna go on something?” I said “sorry would I like to have a go on what?”….“Sorry” they said, “we can’t give you any details, only that’s it’s a single coil RDA and we think you’ll...

    Hi Folks, What comes to mind when you say the word Sahara? Desert, Camels, Dry, Hot, Sand… here’s the thing, I was going to try and be a smart arse and tie this opener in to the designer’s location, but he’s from Kuwait, so that’s ballsed things right up for me. So today I’m going to review...

    Wotofo Warrior RDA Review by KingPin!

    Hi Folks, JMT Elite are a group of coil builders located on Instagram, well not physically, rather the digital alternative name form (I believe the team includes “johhny_dripps”, “builder.gaurd” and “the fishman13”)...I don’t have to foggiest how that site works everyone seems to talk emoji and...

    Wotofo Recurve Squonk & Recurve RDA Review by KingPin!

    Hi Folks, Gone are the ways of the old for Mike Vapes…airy RDA’s jostling with middle ground performance. I personally felt the Icon in particular fell into this category, it seems many felt as I did; the follow up the “Iconic RDA” was but a mere sub note in the catalogue of product releases...

    Hi Folks With top airflow RTA’s appearing round every corner and under every rock this year; it’s going to take something special at the mid-year mark for me to sit up and take note, in fact if I’m being completely honest I’m a little washed out at the thought of reviewing any more “samey” top...

    Smoant Charon Mini 225W Review by KingPin!

    Hi Folks “Charon the 4th” is on the agenda today. Smoant’s first outing was a hugely successful affordable alternative to the Lost Vape Therion.

    Kaees Solomon 2 RTA Review by KingPin! (Inc. Wicking Guide)

    Hi Folks, This is the first time I’ve had a crack with a Kaees (K’s or is it Keys?) product. For the record I’m not overly sold on the aesthetics, I feel it makes the tanks look a bit…well...cheap and cheerful. Woah …but this is just the intro? I’m not going to mince words here, I want to get...

    Geekvape Loop RDA Review by KingPin!

    Hi Folks, I wonder how many times reviewers mention “W” or “Innovative airflow” whilst reviewing this product?...So just to be different: it’s the one that looks like it has two “V’s” placed next to each other, and has airflow that magically surrounds the coil(s) like a leprechaun’s fart. In...

    Vapefly Galaxies MTL RDA Review by KingPin!

    Hi Folks, I received the Galaxies RDA directly from VapeFly for the once over. I will state for the record right up front, ordinarily I’m not a Mouth To Lung (MTL) vaper, in fact this is very much a trial run for me to see how I get on with it all. Whilst reviewing the Galaxies I’m also...

    Smoant Ranker TC218 Mod Review by KingPin!

    Hi Folks, Smoant have followed up from their successful Cylon releasing the new Ranker. It shares the same chip, same screen, similar internals but in a different form factor.

    Aspire Skystar Revvo Kit Review by KingPin!

    Hi Folks, This year has seen an awful lot of new products released, and I’ll be excused in thinking a fair share of those releases were very similar, a slight tweak to a post here, different colour drip tip there, add an extra hole in the AFC ring…stand back slap on a random name and go for...
