INTRODUCTION
Hello everyone, Pizza Dave here, delivering you a review of the Golden Ratio by Onevapetech. This is this company’s latest device, but it has been out for quite a while. This is a rather unique looking pod system which has some cool features that might make it a little different than others out there. Let’s get right to it eh?
DISCLAIMER: This device and liquid was sent to me by Onevapetech for review.

DEVICE OVERVIEW
______________________________________________________________________________
FIRST IMPRESSIONS
OOOOHHHH SHINY! Yeah, that is what popped into my head right away. I was given the rainbow to test, and it sure is purdy. It also is one hell of a fingerprint magnet. Some other obvious stand outs on this is a bright ONE logo, which lights up when vaping, it has a single button, and the pod is locked into place and released similar to an Orion. Other than that, the only other standout was the heft to it. It felt super solid in hand and has a nice sturdy feel to it.

OPERATION
There isn’t a whole lot to cover here. This is a single button device which has no adjustments and is operated by that fire button. 5 clicks turn this on and off, and pressing the button makes it fire. The output is solely based on the battery level, so wattage varies from 10-25w depending on the coil and battery level. Speaking of battery level, this has a rather awful battery indication. The ONE logo lights up blue when vaping, and it goes red when it is about dead. Would have been MUCH better to have at least some middle road for me to go off of, but no dice. When it needs to be charged, plug it in, and the lights will go out when completely charged, which took roughly 1hr and 15 minutes for me.

PODS
The pods on this are a little different. They take up a large portion of the top and kind of add to the aesthetics of it. One neat feature is that they are locked into place and released with a sliding button on the side. The square shape also yields a square drip tip which is surprisingly comfortable on the lips. Refilling the pods is done via a decent sized fill port with a standard rubber plug. Hole was big enough for my bottles, with room for air to escape so filling wasn’t too messy. The coils on this are replaceable and this is done with ease. Grab on and pull, that’s it. They are held in place with O-rings, and since they are positioned to one side, the pod doesn’t have to be completely empty to change.
Air flow on these is adjustable with a little wheel looking situation on the side. Air enters the side of the pod, then flows through a chamber and becomes bottom air flow. I never had issues with leaking or gurgling with any of these, so I dig this system. For the most part, this is more of a loose MTL draw, but it has a decent range of draw with that dial. (see pics for what the heck I am talking about).
Flavor from the pods vary greatly with what coil is used. The first one I went with was the 1.3-ohm round-wire guy. Flavor was rather weak, and I had little to no enjoyment from it and quickly switched to the mesh coil. This .6-ohm mesh coil was much more enjoyable and was middle of the road for flavor from pod systems. I also liked the crackle that this coil provided. However, all of the fun was lost when I go to about 4-5mL, as it was struggling to wick, and I had hints of a burnt taste starting. So….. I binned that one and went for the new DQ .5-ohm coil. This coil uses a different pod than the others, but that is because it is essentially a dual coil setup making the coils wider. This coil really impressed me. It is one of the better tasting pods I have tried and is a much different experience than the previous two coils. 35mg salts didn’t hit me too hard with the other two coils, but this one could use 25mg or less and get away with it. However, just like the mesh before it, coil life was not good. I might have lost track, but it was shortly after my 3rd refill or so and it too was struggling to keep up and I was getting burnt flavor. Unfortunate too, as I could see myself using this quite a bit if it had decent coil life.
