Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the Neon 80W TC Kit from DEJAVU. The DJV Neon 80W TC Kit was supplied for the purpose of this review by Linky from Sacowin who is the parent company.

Introduction
The DJV brand is the brain child of Malaysian Youtuber and Vape Trickster Adrian Lo Dejavu. Being a Vaper his products try to deliver what vapers actually want and quite often offer something a little extra from the norm. The Neon Mod is a single 18650 80W device with Wattage, TC, Voltage and Curve modes. Its chassis is made of thick ABS giving a nice balance between being sturdy, having nice hand feel while being lightweight. The mod is paired with the Neon Tank which is both compatible with Smok Cloud Beast coils but also offers an RBA single build option turning it into an RTA. All packaged in a very convenient (many uses could be found for it) carry zip case, let's give the DJV Neon Kit a good look!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Kit comes in large cardboard packaging and on opening you receive a very handy zipped carry case with everything neatly packed inside. Some pictures on the Internet show the device as quite colourful and all those pictures are the device with added stickers which you do receive but the device it'self comes in plain White or Black, i received the White version.
A plastic device and high build quality isn't something usually that sits well together but DJV have nailed it here with very thick ABS which i'm still keep checking the internet to finally find out it's actually metal of some sort as it feels such high quality and solid. Both sides have the DJV logo indented into the ABS and where the top meets the spine we have a small opening to receive a lanyard if that's your thing.
The Face of the device has a Black panel which includes central tinted screen, above the screen is a square fire button and below 2 smaller square navigational buttons that sit side by side, at the bottom is the micro USB port. On the base we have some manufacturing information and old school battery plate, then up top a small 510 plate that sits flush with Gold plated, spring loaded 510.
The device is quite lightweight and portable enough to be suitable for out and about, it's a box shape but all edging is curved and while being smaller than a dual battery device it does need pointing out that it's larger than most single battery devices!

Neon Tank Overview
The Neon Tank is bringing a bit more than just being a kit tank to the table as it's a very well made tank which i have really enjoyed testing and having the included RBA puts the icing on the cake.
The tank is quite short and with the bubble glass is 28mm at it's widest point with the base being 24mm. With the DJV mesh coil the capacity with the bubble glass is 4.5ml and 2.5ml with the straight glass but with the RBA chamber being larger than the coil i would estimate 4ml and 2ml when using the RBA.
The tank has top-fill with central threading so simply unscrew off the air pipe, the perimeter of the top-cap fits over both the fill plate and thick o-ring for a really good seal. It does mean unscrewing and then screwing the top-cap back in place after filling takes more time than the more popular bayonet method but like with any cons with this whole kit most will find quite petty. The fill plate has a walled perimeter as well as 3 kidney shaped fill ports so filling with any type of nozzle is a mess free experience. The drip tip is a smoked Goon fitting 810 which is rather nice but you can fit one of your own if you prefer.
The airflow control ring is tri cyclops delivering plenty of air to the base of the coil. The included coil i assume is Kanthal as that spec is not given and is a 0.3ohm single mesh coil with a rating between 20W and 40W. Another bonus is TFV8 V8 (Cloud Beast) coils also are compatible giving even more options.

Included RBA And Build
RBA's can be hit or miss but the one included here is superb and i would consider it to be more of an RTA conversion. The deck section gets screwed into the base which now gives you a floating deck. On one side we have 2 tall posts with generous sized terminals, your leads get fastened from above by screws at the top of the posts. Opposite the posts we have a lower arced airflow wall with 2 rows of honeycomb airflow, we also have an airflow outlet directly underneath where the coil will sit.
Because the airflow wall is lower than the posts the leads can be placed through the post holes easily without trimming first and then just slide the coil over the airflow wall so it can drop into position. Then simply fasten down and snip your leads and use a coiling rod or fit for purpose tool to position the coil exactly in the position you want, comparing it to other RBA's their is plenty of room and the build isn't fiddly at all, in fact i found it a doddle!
The supplied coil again i can only assume is Kanthal as no specs are given but it's a fused Clapton with 3.0ID but larger coils will fit no problem, my build came out at 0.29ohm. Wicking is simple being a floating deck, just cut your cotton ends long enough to poke into the channels without letting them hit the base of the tank. When the sleeve gets screwed onto the deck which then also screws onto the air pipe when the tank is screwed together a reduced chamber is formed, now simply fill the tank and you are ready to rock!
