Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the Kree 24 RTA from Gas Mods. The GAS MODS Kree 24 RTA was supplied for the purpose of this review by Ella from Sourcemore.

Introduction
I have been aware of Gas Mods for a couple of years and if my memory serves me correctly looking at their first couple of products they seemed a bit pricey and i saw them as a wannabe high end manufacturer. Then there seemed to be a U-turn with the original Kree which saw an RTA more at the price point we would expect from Oumier while still maintaining a high build quality.
The Kree 24 is the first Gas Mods product i have used and from looking at all the available information starts where the Kree 22mm (original) left off. The Kree 24 is a 24mm in diameter RTA which offers a single build deck and fixed dual airflow slots. We then have inserts offering from a restricted direct lung draw up to full on DL with little in the way of restriction. The RTA comes with a larger spare 5.5ml PMMA (Glass with Silver version) tube and a clever extension tube which can also be used as a 510 drip-tip. With it's eye catching appearance and super easy build deck let's check out the Kree 24!

Aesthetics
The Kree 24 came in cardboard box packaging with everything neatly presented in their own compartments on one layer. I received the Black version which has a tinted PMMA tube and matching proprietary drip tip which has an 810 feel and decent size bore. The options are Silver, Black and Grey, The Grey also has a tinted PMMA tube and Grey chamber with Gold plated deck while the Silver version comes with Glass tubes, Silver chamber and Stainless deck.
The RTA has a very transparent look with a base section that see's heavy machined knurling and dual fixed airflow slots. Through the tube we can see the chamber which has "KREE" carved into it and a section of the outer deck showing below the chamber with wicking channels forming a metallic ring that breaks the colour up, i must say the Gold metallic ring of the deck between the main Black colour looks particularly nice on the Black version i received.
Moving to the base we have a protruding Gold plated positive pin and branding. I must say for it's price point it's extremely well made, nice looking, and very well presented!

What You Receive
As well as the Kree 24 RTA 3.5ml (2ml TPD) you also get a very good quality 510 adaptor, 5.5ml tube and useless Blue screwdriver to add to the collection. We have the usual paperwork and then a bag of spare O-rings, post screws and a spare positive pin. Also in the spares bag is where you will find the clever extension piece which doubles up as a 510 drip tip and the set of 4 Gold plated airflow inserts. Unfortunately you receive no coils or cotton which for me is a big con as i believe any rebuildable should come with everything you need to do at least one build!

It's Various Parts
Starting up top we have a proprietary drip tip which screws on to the chimney while also securing to the PMMA tube with an O-ring to keep the tank sealed. The tube just gets fitted over the base section where it both gets secured and sealed by an O-ring positioned on the base section. Going back to the drip tip and instead of using the pre-installed proprietary 810 style you can attach the 510 adaptor which again screws to the chimney and seals with an O-ring but also has a protruding section that has knurling which matches the knurling on the base section.
We then have the chamber with short chimney, the chamber has quite a low flattish ceiling making it a very reduced chamber especially for a DL tank. The base section with deck has the already mentioned outer knurling and fixed dual airflow slots. The deck is a two post single coil affair with large wicking channels and a 5mm airflow outlet directly underneath where the centre of the coil will be positioned, or you can screw in one of the supplied inserts! When the tank goes together the chamber with chimney section both screws onto the deck and to the drip tip securing the tank together!

Extending The Kree 24
The Kree 24 comes as either a 3.5ml standard or 2ml TPD RTA but you receive a 5.5ml tube and chimney extension. The first specs i saw for this had listed a 510 adaptor and 510 drip tip and indeed i tried out the combo and it fit's fine via the sealing O-ring and although i am not finding it mentioned anywhere else it's also shaped correctly and fit for purpose. I did though wonder how does having a taller tube work but then noticed threading both on the base of the 510 drip tip and within it's internal bore then realised it's main job is the extension for the chimney.
This does mean if you wish to also use the 510 adaptor when the tank is extended you will need to use an alternative drip tip as the one supplied is moonlighting, or was it moonlighting as a drip tip? or is it even meant to be a drip tip at all but just happens to work well as one? anyway you get the picture!
So quite simple instead of fitting the pre-installed tube you use the 5.5ml tube but screw on the chimney extension allowing the pre-installed drip-tip or 510 drip tip adaptor to be installed as usual!
___________________________________________________________________
The Airflow
We have large fixed dual airflow slots at the base and then any restriction is controlled by screwing in place one of the 4 airflow inserts. Airflow inserts is something more common to MTL tanks and some also maintain an adjustment ring for fine tuning which i find is possibly needed even more with a DL tank with just 4 inserts but we will see!
We have an airflow outlet directly underneath where your coil will be positioned which is 5mm in diameter or you can screw in place one of the inserts to restrict as you prefer, they are 4.5mm, 4.0mm, 3.5mm and finally 3.0mm for the most restrictive draw.
There is not the space between the posts to be able to screw the inserts in position by hand and also you need quite a large flathead screwdriver so forget your vaping tool box and head for your proper tools that keeps the wife more happy (no not those sought of tools), it does seem a pain to be honest and forget changing these inserts on the fly, no chance!
