Getting to know the Marvec Priest AIO90
Maybe you have never heard of Marvec, I know I hadn't until I stumbled on there booth at the ECC show back in August 2017. Well let's just say there booth left an impression on me and I put them in my show report, just look at there stab wood mod.
I made an album with some of there other products you can check out: https://imgur.com/a/8wivE2K
I left a card with Nic and a few month later he contacted me about a review and of course I was on board. I was actually expecting different products but when I opened the package for the Priest AIO90 my first thought was, wow, this is nice. I then went into the owners manual to check the specs and it read 18650, 20700 and 21700 compatible....ummmm, Hellz yeah.....oh wait, misprint in the manual, only takes 18650 so my excitement went down a notch. I then looked at the accessories and wait, what is this, a RBA for single coil that looks to be Baby Beast compatible, excitement right back up again!
I got the black resin version and let me tell you this thing is a beaut and the resin has that nice satin texture that feels great. Mine had a little rattle on the door of one side but settled in after a few weeks to hardly noticeable. Both panels are removable and you will need to do so to remove the battery.
The pic on the bottom left the space under the fire button is to put a spare coil...slick.
The included drip tip just would not do for me but luckily it is a 510 so I had plenty of options and they all fit just right.
Comes with there own baby beast compatible coil 0.20 ohms rated from 40 to 130 watts, best from 70 to 90 watts but whatevs, there is a single coil RBA included!
Easy to fire with either my thumb or middle finger, whichever way I picked it up finding the fire button was never a problem.
Building the RBA
The problem with the RBA is you will have to build on it without a base unless you have a baby beast compatible tank already, that way you can use that base. You will have to remove the thick o'ring first though like the pic below.

That will of course make it easier but if you don't have a baby beast compatible base to build on I tried it without. The trick is to do a spaced coil, spaced coils do not have to be dry burned to work out the hotspots so you can build and wick. Just make sure the coil is not touching anything on the deck and has sufficient space from the posts.
Both of the above builds works great but my favorite was my first build, a 5 wrap 2.5mm post 26g dual core with 36g wrap fused kanthal clapton. Since it was a contact coil I built it on a baby beast compatible based to work out the hotspots.
This build was crackling good, so good in fact I was on the phone with a friend who could hear the coil crackling. He asked me what is that, I told him it was the new Marvec Priest AIO90 with the RBA section installed and I was loving it. I used that first build for close to 2 weeks and everytime I reached for the Priest it was like I was getting a blessing, flavor and all around performance for an AIO is the best I have experienced using the RBA section.
Building on the RBA is fairly easy even if you don't have a baby beast compatible base although that does make it easier and safer. All the builds came out between 0.22 and 0.30 ohms and the Priest fired them all with ease.
For me the RBA base made the whole kit that much better and the performance was at another level. It has the added benefit that it can be used in baby beast compatible tanks and unlike Smok's baby beast RBA you don't have to use a bigger glass. You do have to change the bottom o'ring though, just remove the thick o'ring on the RBA coil and replace it with the bottom o'ring of a baby beast compatible coil. I did use it this way in a couple of baby beast compatible tanks like the Squid Peacemaker and Vaptio Frogman XL and got great results. It is a tighter draw than the Smok baby beast RBA and Advken Dominator RBA but both of those have compatibility issues with other baby beast coil tanks.
