Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the Axial Pro RDA from Mass Mods and Twisted Messes. The Axial Pro RDA was supplied for the purpose of this review by Mass Mods.
https://www.massmods.com/products/axial-pro
Introduction
The Axial Pro RDA is an all American collaboration between Mass Mods and Twisted Messess who bring us a dose of thinking outside the box. The Axial Pro RDA comes with the usual Parallel deck we are accustomed to but also comes with a series deck section which opens up a new option of building for those that prefer modest builds when it comes to resistance but would love to take advantage of all that surface area provided by a more adventurist dual coil build. Only coming in two colours at the time of writing but of high end build quality, let's give the Axial Pro RDA a look!

Aesthetics
The Axial Pro RDA comes in cardboard box packaging with everything you receive having it's own compartment on one layer. To date the RDA comes in just 2 colour options which is matte Black or Polished stainless Steel, i received the Stainless Steel version. The sleeve is very clean and stylish while being plain which will appeal to most people. We have an indented band towards the top where the airflow is adjusted, the airflow is outer dual cyclops, but the inner cap can be turned between dual cyclops or dual 3 holes for more smoothness. The drip tip is a very plain medium profile Delrin 810 and moving to the base we have printed safety marks and branding. Finally we can see one screw on the parallel deck and 2 on the series and both come pre-installed with a standard Gold plated pin.
The build quality of both supplied decks and inner and outer sleeve is high end, it just oozes quality!

What You Receive?
You obviously get the inner and outer sleeve and pre-installed 810 Delrin drip tip, also included is a Frosted 810 and a Frosted 510 adaptor. As already mentioned you receive 2 decks (parallel and Series) but what i like is they are both completed decks with both also having a pre-installed standard 510. Hopefully in the near future just the sleeves will be available so just the purchase of the sleeve (inner and outer) will give you 2 RDA's.
Also included is plenty of spare o-rings and screws and also 2 BF pins, one for each deck. Unfortunately no coils or cotton is provided and no tools for swapping out the pins. Yes most people will have plenty of screwdrivers and an allen wrench that fits the BF pin and they will also have plenty of cotton and coils but it's hardly the point. This is an expensive RDA so should come with everything needed and that includes cotton and coils to do at least one build!

Parallel and Series Build Deck
A series build deck option isn't innovative in it'self and was a thing a while back but to my knowledge it was always the case that the standard parallel deck needed converting into a series which was fiddly and of cause bits can easily be lost.
Here we have two independent decks which at a quick glance can be told apart by the large Blue neutral block on the series deck, i really like the way colour has been used to help easily identify the two different decks.
Both decks are so clean looking, it's all about attention to detail and not so much that the series deck option isn't innovative but how simply it has been implemented, sometimes simple can be genius!

The Difference Between Parallel and Series Decks
On a standard dual parallel deck we have two coils that run side by side both having one lead that fixes to a positive post and one lead that fixes to a negative post (ground). When coils are installed this way the resistance is halved.
On a series deck we have a positive and negative post and then one shared neutral post that links them together. This means one coil has a lead fixed to the positive post while the other coil has a lead fixed to the negative (ground) then both coils has it's remaining lead fixed to the neutral post so both coils become a part of one continuous circuit which means the resistance in doubled.
The Maths
Parallel Dual coil setup: Each coils resistance is 0.20 x 2 coils in parallel = 0.10 resistance
Series Dual coil setup: Each coils resistance is 0.20 x 2 coils in series = 0.40 resistance.
