Introduction
Gas mods are building a very good reputation for producing quality affordable atomizers and here with the Pallas RTA we have a MTL offering! The marketing for this on their site is up and down as they are very modest describing it has giving just a decent MTL vape but on the other hand describing the bog standard bottom airflow as something new and earthshattering so that's the last you will hear about that from me!
The Pallas offers bottom adjustable airflow using a spring loaded ball bearing to click between settings and a bayonet style top-cap for quick and easy filling. Coming in three colour choices, let's check this "decent" MTL RTA out!

In The Box
Contents:
1 x GAS MODS Pallas RTA
1 x Extra Tube (SS316 & PC)
1 x Screw Driver & Spares Bag
1 x User Manual
___________________________________________________________________
Aesthetics
The Pallas comes in small cardboard box packaging and on opening everything is nicely presented on one level! I received the Black version which is a Black and Gold combo look, the options are Stainless Steel, Black or Grey.
You do receive a two piece spare tube which has a Stainless Steel top section and PC bottom which gives the RTA a different look but i will describe how it comes out the box. Up top we have a short nipple style Delrin drip tip and then a narrow top-cap with aggressive knurling for grip. On mine the glass then fits over a Black O-ring with Gold either side and we can see the Gold chamber and narrow chimney through the glass, on one side of the chamber "PALLAS" is nicely carved.
The bottom AFC has horizontal grooves and 6 different sized airflow holes and then above the ring we have a thin band of fine knurling to help remove the base section.
Moving to the base we nave printed branding and a slightly protruding, Gold plated 510.

What You Receive!
As well as the Pallas RTA with pre-installed glass tube and short nipple style Delrin drip tip you also receive a two part tube with top metal and bottom PC section. You receive the usual paperwork, Blue useless screwdriver and a bag of spares which consists of spare O-rings, post screws and a spare 510 pin. I believe any rebuildable should come with everything that is needed to do at least one build so a big con that no coils or cotton is included!
___________________________________________________________________
It's Various Parts!
As mentioned up top we have a nipple style drip-tip which is a standard 510 fitting so you can use an alternative if you prefer! We then have a narrow top-cap with bayonet fitting so just a slight turn to both undo or secure for a quick, mess free fill, we have two large juice ports which sit deep and an O-ring seal.
Pre-installed we have a 3ml capacity glass tube which fits over an O-ring to both secure and seal, there is also a TPD 2ml option. You also receive a two piece tube and although PC to metal threading is normally not for the faint hearted the two pieces screw together with silky smooth threading! The fill plate. narrow chimney and chamber are all one piece which just leaves the base section.
The base which includes the two post single coil build deck has a removable AFC and slightly protruding, Gold plated 510 pin.

The Airflow
On the base one side we have a spring loaded ball bearing which allows the AFC to click between positions and the opposite an airflow hole which is 2.8mm in size. We then have an AFC which has different sized holes so you can choose which to line up with the hole on the base for the draw you prefer! The airflow hole sizes on the AFC are 2.8mm, 2.3mm, 1.8mm, 1.3mm, 1.1mm and 0.9mm.
One thing to point out is the airflow outlet underneath the coil is 2.8mm in diameter and can't be reduced so i will explain how that effects things in the last section. The air comes through the airflow inlet on the side of the base which you set using the AFC, it then travels underneath the deck and up through the outlet directly underneath where your coil will be positioned!
