Hi Folks
Recently picked up the Peerless RDA so wanted to drop my review for it. Paid for this one myself
What do you get?
Contents
1 x GeekVape Pearless RDA
1 x Spare Wide Bore Top Cap
Features
Dimensions: 24mm x 32mm
Unique Build Deck
24mm Diameter
510 Threaded
Designed to support both Standard and Complex Coil Builds
Additional Post Hole to Support a Wide Variety of Coil Builds
Designed for both Single and Dual Coil Builds
Special Split Bridge Post Design which creates a Open Liquid Chamber for Additional Wicking Surface Area
Nine Hole Adjustable Side Airflow System
Includes Extra Top Cap for Wide Bore Drip Tips
Includes Bottom Feeding Squonker Pin for Squonker Style Mods
Comes in the usual Geekvape packaging neat and tidy presentation with a scratch and sniff at the bottom
In the box as you can see get a bunch of bits including a bunch of o rings, squonk pin, a spare set of hex screws and a spare cap which includes a wide bore low profile tip...you can also use your own Goon/Kennedy drip tips on it if you do wish
The Peerless comes in a range of colours as well as you can see I got the black version
Initial impressions
This is not an expensive RDA it's very affordable as such it doesn't feel or look like a really quality product I mean it's not by any means awful but I'm not blown away by it if that makes sense
It's got machine oil everywhere so a good cleaning it's absolutely required
Breaks into 3 parts
At first I didnt like the look of stock the stock drip tip but it's actually really comfortable to vape on
The o rings aren't very tight but they grip well enough
Paint job is weird gives it likes a glossy look even after a good cleaning it's supposed to give it heat resistence
Base is gold plated and deck has a pretty large juice well
Overall yeah not bad especially for the price point and the extras you get
Oh plus it has a squonk pin a must for RDAs I purchase ...hooray
What's she like to build in?
I had a horrible experience mounting coils on this
Don't know whether I was just being thick but the centre posts have one long screw which allows you to grab hold of 2 coils (above and below) at the same time ...it's was a bloody nightmare to be honest the bottom of the screw is rounded so kept slipping out when I was pulling the coil away from the post and the top one just mangled my coils so bad I had to dump a perfectly good pair of staggered fused claptons I made
The outer post screws are so far out I almost didn't want to use them by the time you have your coil in there the leg is really close to the edge of the deck which isn't going to help with wicking
Finally managed to get a pair of dragon skin coils I made mounted centrally! Yay but boy was that not fun so your gonna have to get used to mounting coils on this deck
Suffice to say I don't like these posts or the layout on the deck at all
The juice well is deep and wicking was a breeze. You can fit in chucky coils in here these are 3.5mm coils
What's she like to vape?
I wasn't a fan of the drip tip for my initial
Impressions but I actually ended up using it it's surprisingly comfortable, Although spit back can be a problem its probably a mix of the coils I'm using here and when I over dripped ....using your own drip tip will for the most part rectify this
Considering how I didn't like the build deck I actually really like how she vapes the draw is really nice as is the flavour I get from it. You can drip centrally if you want no probs, and because it's got a large juice well I can manage to get a good amount of draws before having to re drip (obviously not such an issue if squonking)
Also it doesn't get hot you can chain vape on this for ages and you won't be getting burnt lips on the stock drip tip.... that paint must be doing something as well!?
Edit: I have noticed leaking underneath the base a few times now I can't figure out where it's coming from !? I.e whether this is coming from a screw or the orings aren't sealing the housing properly
Edit 2: leak is coming through the negative screw at the bottom of the base!
Final thoughts
For the price point I'm impressed with the peerless vape experience wise ...gives you loads of options, comes in a variety of colours...the thing that lets it down for me is the post system, I just couldn't get on with it, i would say its overly complex for the sake of being different and this leaking thing I'm seeing so overall would I recommend this ...hmmm well for flavour and draw I found it to be better than the vandyvape Icon But it's not as good in every other way ....I'll put this down as a maybe!
Pros
Good price
Squonkable
Great smooth draw and flavour
Comfortable stock drip tip
Can use your own drip tips
Cons
Build deck and those posts ...not a fan
Leaking found on mine
