Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the Blotto RTA from Dovpo. The Dovpo Blotto RTA was supplied for the purpose of this review by Pearl from Cigabuy.

Introduction
Dovpo have impressed ever since entering the vaping market and really haven't made a false move. Of course the first product that will enter most people's head when Dovpo are mentioned is the Topside but they have been responsible for some very good RDA's, RTA's, fully regulated and potentiometer devices, and always at a fair price.
Here we have their latest RTA the Blotto which is a collaboration with Sam Parsons also known as the Vaping Bogan and i promise i won't be saying f*** at all during this review. The Blotto has been designed for flavour whether doing a single or dual build offering honeycomb style airflow inlets and 242 degree air coverage (don't forget about the extra 2 degrees, very important lmao).
It comes with a 2ml straight glass installed keeping it nicely TPD compliant but then included is both a glass and Ultem bubble glass. There has been a lot of hype about this one which will not influence how i found the Blotto performed, i'll crack on!

Aesthetics
The Blotto comes in a cardboard box with clear plastic lid so you can see the RTA before opening, there is plenty of branding as well as all the usual specs etc on the packaging. The Blotto comes in three different colour options, i received the Gun Metal but it's also available in Silver and Black. The Drip tip is a goon fitting 810 and particularly nice looking with a metallic Silver band around it and frosted appearance on the Silver version, Ultem on the Black and Gun Metal.
I love the appearance of the Blotto as it has a very distinctive look, both top and base look just like a bottle cap. The base has dual airflow which is two rows of many small inlet holes (referred to as honeycomb) and the Vaping Bogan skull is visible on the chamber. The Blotto comes pre-installed with a 2ml (and the rest) straight glass and moving to the base we have branding, safety marks and a Gold plated protruding 510. Overall the build quality is very good, clean and has superb threading.

It's Various Parts and What You Receive
Starting up top we have a very nice looking 810 drip tip but it is low profile which won't suit everybody and no other drip tip or 510 adaptor is included, of course you can fit your own. We then have the bottle cap top-cap followed by the one piece plate with juice ports and chamber. This is followed by the base section with floating deck, we have a standard, Gold plated, protruding 510 pin installed. The chamber screws over the deck and your glass section gets secured and sealed top and bottom by o-rings. Pre-installed is a straight glass which is advertised as 2ml to meet TPD regulations but i got 3ml in it no problem. You also receive 2 6ml capacity bubble sections, one glass and one Ultem. Also to go along with the being blottoed theme you receive a Bogan skull bottle opener which doubles up as a coil lead cutting guide. Although it comes with 2 bubble sections as well as the straight glass overall i'm not impressed with what you receive.
Only 3 o-rings, 4 spare grub screws and a T-piece and that's it, no different option drip tip, no 510 adaptor and no coils and cotton. As far as i'm concerned an RTA should be the same as any other tank, if you received a subohm tank which came with no coils their would be an outcry and i really don't see the difference. I find it worse that it's a collaboration with an outspoken reviewer who i have heard slaughter tanks or pod devices that have only come with one coil/pod and then has put his name to something that comes with nothing to do a build, if you can't walk the walk, don't talk the talk!

Filling
The Blotto employs a bayonet style fitting for the top-cap like we have seen on many other RTA's including the various Zeus RTA's. I really like this method, just a quarter turn and the top-cap is off. We have a metal plate with 2 very large kidney shaped fill ports so any bottles will be suitable and filling is quick and mess free. When securing the top-cap after filling, again it is just quarter of a turn.
___________________________________________________________________
The Airflow
The airflow inlets can be found on the base, it's like having bottom dual cyclops accept on the Blotto instead of wide open slots we have honeycomb airflow, 2 rows comprising of a total of 26 holes either side. The airflow control ring has a stopper and when adjusting it's the only poor quality i found with the RTA as it's very sketchy, it doesn't move very smoothly at all.
The air enters through the described honeycomb airflow inlets and then enters the deck from underneath, directly underneath where your coil/coils will be positioned we have grill style outlets (narrow slots) and then either side we have ramps which curve to match the coil/coils outside contour, on these ramps we have more honeycomb air outlets. The airflow is described as a "242° direct to coil Airflow system", lol i'm not sure how scientific the process was to measure 242 degrees but let's just say your coil/coils are going to get plenty of air coverage (not to be confused with plenty of air).
Looking inside the chamber it is very domed and the large post/airflow ramp sections will reduce it further, so all the ingredients are there to get good flavour, you just need to add your build.
