I don't get the point. Postless and Velocity style? Pick one or the other, don't give me random parts I'll never use like the Fogwind Alliance and Mutation 234 does. Give me extra options worth paying for. Plus that top airflow looks largeless useless. They're constantly trying to improve an RDA design that became outdated MONTHS ago. The swapped post design also leaves virtually ZERO juice well.

I think their idea is novel,the postless and velocity deck together,ceramic and ss material together

First of all, adding ceramic in RDA's is IFFY at best because we have no idea what grade of ceramic it is. I don't even trust ceramic as a heating element, I know of tons of instances where inhaling ceramic fumes absolutely FUCKED peoples lungs up. I don't support Rayon either.

Second of all, why make it one post style instead of to? Why take five minutes to fiddle with an RDA to take the posts off or put them on, what difference is it going to make? I'd venture to say you'd be able to fit bigger and better builds in it with the velocity style deck because so far, in RDA's the post-less deck has proven to be hugely gimmicky and it seems to have more cons than benefits.

Thirdly, last time it was bottom airflow, that sucked and nobody used it except the cl0ud br0s who wanted more airflow because they seem to think more air automatically = more clouds. Even with the side airflow closed off, the bottom airflow didn't do as good a job as flavor BAF RDA's like the Freakshow, Mad Hatter and Kennedy.

Forth, STOP Indulgence, just STOP. If you've reached a V5 with a product, it means it's time to scrap it and design something new. They've rode this design until the wheels well off. The differences between the V1 and V2 were great, you got a T block post.. with fucking annoying triangle grub screws. The V2 to V3.. virtually nothing, just no more stupid screws. V3 to V4, the shape of the airflow intake holes changes and they added that gimmicky bottom airflow. V4 to V5, gimmicky top airflow and a pointless swap out post design that has virtually handicapped the juice well.

If you want a GOOD Mutation style RDA, go buy the Mutation 234. It's 24mm, it's a beast, and while it comes with a bunch of posts as well, it's just better suited for the job. A Lush is also a good option.

I liked the x4, flavor and clouds for days. X3 i also liked, maybe x4 i liked more.
Look forward to first impressions mighr check it out anyway... no need for negativity especially if youve never used one.

my X3 seemed to have something wrong with it?! the connections in the posts were kinda shotty I could just never get my dual coils to burn quite right. I like my X4s with the velocity setup and options for bottom airflow and or the vortex-y airflow thing (thats science talk btw). The quality of the the X4S seems better to me to, my X3 was loose with the top cap every time i went to re-juice I'd pull the top cap off and have to readjust the airflow making sure I had it set right. Where as the X4S, I just pull the whole top off it's easier to line it up with the coils and the airflow stays the same. That said, the X4s has a bit too much airflow for my preferences, but it could just be the builds I've had in it, I haven't given up on it yet I've just been distracted by my new relationship with my 26650's...


All of that and I didn't even say what I thought of the X5... maybe a bit too much with the swapping out of posts and stuff, but my first reaction to seeing a post-less and Velocity possibility all at the same time... seems like a lot of possibilities there, I can see some pretty cool setups coming out of it.. Reminds me of the versatility the Rafale seems to have.

I loved my v3 but I lost my mod with it. Then I got the v4 and regretted everytime it leaks. I bought a used v3 but also bought a Mad Hatter v2. Hatter gave me the Velocity deck, Hatter flip top, and the Mutation Airflow.
