OFRF nexMESH Sub-Ohm Tank
Vape mail, let's face it, we all love it. It doesn't matter if you’re eagerly awaiting the replacement for your singular device that you massively failed to 'ninja catch' mid-air due to a chronic case of 'Juicy Fingeritis'...yes...that's a medical term...
Resulting in you screaming uncontrollably at the mangled metal, broken juicy glass and batteries......which are fuck knows where.....on the concrete ground in front of you....yes...we've all been there....'shudders'...
OR....maybe you're a slightly unhinged enthusiast who can't sleep at night unless he knows his collection of vape gear is absolutely bang up to date with the latest and greatest 'vape fashion', and has an almost 'Pokemon' attitude to curating his 'new-news'...
Or even maybe...you happen to be an award winning internationally recognised and highly respected vape reviewer.....can't...quite think of an example right now....who gets a vast swathe of vape gear thrown at him from every corner of the world on a weekly basis...due to the...awards...and being...completely awesome....etc.....EVEN THEN....it's still a thrill when you open your front door and see the all too familiar overly parcel-taped package with an address label that makes literally no sense to anyone - apart from your postman who clearly possesses some kind of mystical dark magical reading power......usually.....only found in.....like......witches...n’ stuff....(?)
But you know what the best kind of vape mail is?.......Surprise vape mail. There's only really reviewers who are party to this exclusively rare animal. THIS is the kind of vape mail that .....well actually...this can be split into two categories - firstly, there's the 'we're actually quite embarrassed about this thing and we knew you'd say no if we asked you' vape mail......I've literally had the worst e-liquid I've ever tasted in my life this way....AND...the worst device...and secondly, there's the kind of surprise which includes what I am reviewing today, which....I'll call 'fate mail'. And the reason for that?....Because honestly, I would have said no to it. I am literally breaking my own rules with today's offering, but thankfully, as luck would have it, my email inbox is a hateful and vindictive bastard who loathes the thought of me getting anything nice to review....
And subsequently throws the odd manufacturers request in the spam bin.
SO.....fuck you inbox, because they sent it anyway - and I, for one....am very glad they did. Let us delve into the abyss of nonsensical literature which I like to cunningly disguise as a factual and informative vape review......shall we?......WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!.....(thud)
......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
Welcome once again my beloved steamy, yet surprisingly sweet smelling, smog soirée. Back again with more of the same.....except it's not the same, not this time, no no.....this review would never have happened had I been left unsupervised.....which is never a good idea in any event.....let's be honest. You see, I have a few 'rules' when it comes to writing reviews on vape gear. Nothing outrageous you understand, the rumours of me being an actual diva are...at best...mildly exaggerated. But to make life easier on myself, as well as any poor unfortunate soul who reads this shit, I politely 'opt out' of receiving Pod systems because I don't use them, tiny starter kits for the same reason, anything from Smok because I really don't want my house to burn down, and...if they're on their own....Sub Ohm tanks. They just don't float my boat enough to warrant a full review...and...I don't use them either. So....today's offering...is something of an oddity.
Now, the company who sent me this device are also a bit of an oddity. They appeared almost out of nowhere in 2018 - the entire company was literally born in 3 months - and straight out of the gate they supplied the industry with an RTA that now sits on almost every 'Best of 2019' RTA list: the Gear RTA - an apparently awesome little flavour banger (I haven't personally tried it) which was incredibly well received by almost every top tier vape reviewer in Vapingdom. If that one skipped you by, then you must have had your head buried in the sand not to notice the hype they produced by supplying the mesh coils for the Wotofo Unity RDA - arguably the best mesh RTA around...for now.
So, let's get into this uninvited intruder on my doorstep and see if this company’s unfathomable success is still gaining momentum or....just a two hit wonder.....as thousands of vape enthusiasts gather to ask these new kids on the block...
Because if their last two releases into the vape wilderness are anything to go by....they are simply replying...
Courtesy of OFRF themselves....the OFRF nexMESH Sub Ohm Tank...
Indeed....all joking aside, this is one sexy ass looking tank, and my initial reaction of 'Wtf is this thing doing on my doorstep?' was abruptly thwarted the moment I opened the box. But....I've been here before - this was the woman who walks in the bar and makes the men spit there drinks out while awkwardly adjusting their nether regions. This was what your mother always warned you about. I know how this works....I'm the not so proud owner of one of the quickest marriages known to man, I've been victim of my own dubious choices born purely by the 'erection reaction' before....oh yeah...this was trouble in a box right here.....I was not expecting this to end well...but fuck was I all-in...
But before I submerge my gentleman spuds.....you may have noticed a little box in the first picture which actually isn't related to this review in any way at all - but they sent it me anyway, along with the snapback. In that little box are new coils for the Profile RDA & Unity RTA...or indeed...any mesh tank that takes that size strip. Now, these haven't been released to 'gen-pop' just yet - or at least they hadn't when I received them - but they're actually an SS316L version of the coils supplied with the Unity RTA. Because they are stainless, they can be used for TC'ing to your hearts content on either the Profile RDA or RTA. They still have OFRF's patent triple density technology, and are far and away the better choice over Wotofo's own coils.....I just included them in the picture because...well....reasons....now, onwards...
The Lowdown
The OFRF nexMESH Sub Ohm Tank is essentially a 25mm tank that comes with a 4ml capacity and also a 5.5ml capacity with the included bubble tank. The glass tanks themselves aren't glass at all, but are instead made from the plastic polycyclohexane dimethyl terephthalate modified by glycol....
Or 'PCTG' to people who...can't...Google-Fu... It has excellent toughness and good heat resistance at ~120˚C. It is food safe- as granted by FDA, and will not emit BPA. Or...in my language...it's tough AF, clear AF, won't melt under heat or crack with acidic liquids, nor will it poison you in the long term. THIS....it turns out, is what every tank should be made of. I literally shovel a mahoosive pile of kudos and fling it with almost violent tendencies right at OFRF for that one.
Because if someone told me this was glass.....I wouldn't doubt it for a second.
Around the bottom we have the AFC ring, just underneath that beautiful knurling....
Which houses triple air intakes, doesn't round robin, and has what I can only describe as 'creamy' tension. I play with this AFC ring just because I can. It's unnervingly satisfying.
