Hi All, Anthony Vapes back here with my review of the Wotofo Warrior RDA, please see the bottom for disclaimers and links. Note: I got 2 versions one from wotofo and one from healthcabin.net neither of them marked as a sample but i’ll explain that more later.
Introduction:
The Warrior RDA is one of the latest RDAs from longtime popular manufacturer Wotofo who celebrating their 6 year anniversary now and designed in collaboration with a coil building group JMT elite. The Warrior RDA is a dual coil DTL RDA with an included squonk pin. It’s available in 6 colors SS, Black, Rainbow, Blue, Gunmetal and Gold. Healthcabin has them for around 34.00 USD

Initial Impressions and features
When I first got this RDA, it gave me a good story so here it is. The first one i received was from healthcabin. Not long after I was contacted by wotofo and asked if i wanted to review their products. For some reason they sent me the warrior RDA in the package so i figured eh i’ll do a giveaway and i let them know. Anyway i went to use the RDA and used the one I originally got from healthcabin and it was a wild ride. After building on it I noticed right away that the resistance wasn’t reading right and upon further inspection it wasn’t stabile either, which led me right to the pained deck figuring it’s an issue as anyone know you can’t paint connection points. Seriously coming from a manufacturer that’s celebrating it’s 6th year making atomizers and designed with a group of coil builders, this is just flat out embarrassing. It’s a rookie mistake you’d expect from a new company. Not a company that’s been around that long and on top of that got help from a group of coil builders. How everyone involved didn’t know that and missed that is beyond me. Either way I took it apart and literally the paint had everything stuck together and needed to be pried off. Even the bars in the clamp system were stuck to the posts and i had to pry them off with a screwdriver just to get the coils in. I also fiddled with positive pin as well and it was able to go in way too deep. So deep it would go past the negative threads. Funny enough they promote the colored decks as a feature. On top of that i got 2 gunmetal one’s and i know what gunmetal should look like. They don’t look gunmetal at all, they look black like the colors are wrong. I have pics of all this stuff in the album. So i went on a hunting mission and found a few reviews to see if anyone said anything and yeah it was a big thing apparently i missed. So i figured let me open up the one i got from wotofo and low and behold no paint on the deck and the positive pin fits correctly! Hazzah! But the gunmetal was still black. But at least i had one i could use to do the review now. Either way it was a wild ride and I was off to a bad start.
Build Deck and Wicking (pics above)
Let’s talk about the build deck now. It’s a pretty basic deck. It’s a dual clamp deck made for dual coils but they do include a block for running single coil as well. It’s not staggered and has 2 post screws per clamp system and coils need to be installed together. It looks to me like a cross between the goon and the subzero x decks. Or a subzero X deck with 2 screws instead of one. IMO not a very good deck. I understand coils builders like a lot of room for really crazy coils but 99.9999% of vapers max coil is going to be an alien or fused clapton so the space is overkill for most. It’s also not staggered either. I’m not sure why an RDA would come out in 2018 with a non staggered deck where you have to install both coils at the same time then screw down 4 screws. There are better ways and the clamps aren’t even spring loaded or reverse threaded to make life easier. On the plus side though the post screws are a phillips/flat combo and pretty good overall so that’s one positive. The negative post is also not milled into the deck and is held in by a screw of ok quality. I’d prefer milled but it’s not the first RDA to do it and won’t be the last so as long as the screw is ok not a big deal but not my preference. Overall I just found there are better decks out there then this one.
Wicking on it is quite easy. It’s an RDA so nothing fancy just drop your leads to the bottom.
Performance
Performance wise, I used it as a Dual Coil RDA only even though it does have a blocker to do single coil i was never a fan of using those. I ran 4 builds (technically 5 but one was one the defective one so couldn't vape it) in this a fancy 3mm ID build, a fancy 3.5 mm ID build, a fancy 4mm ID build and 1 simple round 4mm ID build. For size I found it best with a 4mm ID and plenty of wraps. Overall I will say it gives good flavor if you use a huge fancy coil build in it. It’s pretty muted with regular round wire though or smaller builds. Kind of like the bonza in that way. It’s best used with high watts and large coils only.
