Introduction
Da One are a vaping manufacturer dedicated to starter MTL kits for those trying to quit the stinkies, which is good to see. The Blade is a blast from the past and alternative to pod systems, manufacturers such as Vaptio regularly brought similar type devices out before the vaping world went pod mad. The Blade is a very simple device that offers 3 different voltage settings which in turn outputs 3 different wattage's dependant on the installed coil. With it's screen displaying both battery status and H, M, or L to show the power level which is altered by a single press of the adjustment button the device is as easy to use as a pod system while giving a mod with tank set-up.
The tank has a childproof feature when opening and is a leak resistant design coming with 2 different coil heads for different MTL experiences, let's give it a look!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Blade is a tiny starter kit with metal construction and high build quality which comes in the choice of 5 colour options which are Triple Black, Modern White, Navy Blue, Sexy Red or Rebellious Pink, i received the Modern White version. All colour options come with a small Black MTL tank with proprietary drip-tip and magnetic drip tip dust cover. Although the tank is Black with all colour options the tanks o-rings match the colour of the device.
The Blade is a very ergonomic device being very small and rounded and has a sleek aesthetic look. On the face of the device we have a Black horizontal pill shaped fire button at the top and smaller Black horizontal pill shaped settings button towards the bottom. Between these two buttons we have a vertical pill shaped display which displays both battery status and power setting, right at the bottom of the face we have the micro USB port.
The base of the device has good venting and safety marks and then looking at the top of the device with the tank removed we have a 510 plate with spring loaded 510.
Size comparison, Blade between Boost and Vinci X!

The Blade Tank Overview
The tank that comes with the Blade is a nice little MTL tank which has a 2ml capacity, no spare glass tube is supplied. The coil head screws into the base section and also on to the centre of the top plate to secure the tank tightly shut. The glass is sealed to the top plate with an o-ring and to the base section with dual o-rings for a really good seal.
The airflow control is dual narrow slits which move with a nice tolerance for good adjustability, you use these adjustable slits in conjunction with the bore of the coil for the draw required.
The top-cap has a fixed central section with a protruding collar for the proprietary drip tip to fit over like a sleeve, so you can't use your own 510's. We then have a springy outer section which needs pushing down before the top-cap will turn to undo, it works very much like the childproof feature of a medicine bottle.
On the fill plate we have two round fill sockets with rubber collars, the openings are large enough at the top to use most standard nozzles and much smaller at the bottom of the collars. It works really well with air allowing to escape from the port which you are not using to fill and the tank fills quickly and mess free but the holes at the base of the collars are so small that when turning the tank upside down with just the fill plate exposed zero e-liquid escapes!
You receive two different Nichrome coils neither of which are pre-installed, the coils can be told apart from the colour of the o-rings. The Yellow o-ringed coil head is a 0.6ohm mesh coil with a MTL bore but more on the larger size for MTL, this is rated between 18w to 30w. The other coil head has Black o-rings and houses a 1.6ohm regular round wire vertical coil with a rating between 8w to 18w, this has a much narrower bore.
Also the coils of another device from Da One called the Barrel are also compatible which look to be more geared towards 50/50 ratio or nic salts e-liquids. These are both Nichrome round wire coils with a choice of 1.2ohm and 1.6ohm.
Both included coil heads and Barrel coil heads have a protruding top section as this top section of the coil head acts as the chimney which gets screwed to the top plate when securing the tank.

Magnetic Dust Cover
It's not the first time i have come across a magnetic dust cover for the drip tip but in the current climate probably a good idea adding any feature that can increase hygiene. The cover fits over the drip tip and has a powerful magnetic rim securing it very well. With the device being of metal construction while vaping the cover can just be attached to the base of the device where it is out the way.
___________________________________________________________________
Using Device And Tank Independently
Although this is very much a kit both device and tank can be used independently of each other. The device would in this regard be much better if it had 5w to 30w adjustable wattage but still will work well with up to 22mm (minimal overhang) MTL tanks or RTA's, likewise the included tank is a quite nice versatile MTL offering which can be used on other devices.
