Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the Manto X Mesh 228W TC Kit from Rincoe. The Manto X Mesh 228W TC Kit was supplied for the purpose of this review by Nicole from Rincoe.

Introduction
Rincoe hit the ground running earlier this year with their debut device the Manto which surprised many has it out performed it's competition in it's own price range and some. Recently more devices have been added to their portfolio, showing they weren't a one hit wonder but a vaping manufacturer here to stay. In this review i have a look at one of three devices they have released recently the Manto X which in this kit is paired with the Metis Mix tank. Rincoe claim the Manto X is the smallest dual 18650 battery device in the marketplace and after looking at my other devices that have had the same claim made about them their are fractions in it so i'm not prepared to back their claim or say their wrong, it's very small let's leave it at that. Shaped like the Reuleaux Gen3 Dual along with it's size it's swallowed up by the hand and very comfortable, but this is misleading as it's a very powerful dual device that can accommodate 30mm tanks without overhang, so let's give it a good look!

Aesthetics and ergonomics
The Manto X Kit comes in cardboard box packaging and on opening i was greeted with plenty of documentation in the way of Warranty, Quality assurance and Battery safety Cards as well of course as a Manual. I received the Red version, it's also available in Grey, Blue and Black, all versions come with a Silver Metis Mix tank. As mentioned the device is tiny for a dual battery device and shaped like the Reuleaux Gen3 Dual but feels superior in build quality and finish and that's not a dig at the Gen3 it's just the Manto X is impressively well made. The device is made of Zinc alloy and seems like the metal has good thickness, the back which looks like a removable panel but isn't, front panel and buttons are all Black and not sure of the material but again seems quality although very much a fingerprint magnet, the device has a Stoving varnish finish. Both front and back panels claim real estate on the sides of the device giving it aesthetically pleasing accents, also towards the top both sides we have large venting slots to keep the chip cool and help with venting if needed. The front of the device see's a lip at the top which adds to the size of tanks the device will accommodate, below this is a large fire button followed by the front panel. The front panel houses the screen followed by the triangular shaped navigational button, triangle pointed upwards for up and triangle pointed downwards for down, finally central bottom is the micro USB port. The bottom of the device is the hatch door for inserting the batteries, this has printed branding and safety stamps and the catch mechanism. Moving up top we have a Gold plated, spring loaded 510, both the pocket friendly size and shape make the device very ergonomic.

Metis Mix Overview
The Metis Mix is a beefy 25mmm in diameter tank with base tapering outwards as does the top-cap giving it a crowned look and bulge glass. The Metis Mix is top fill and the top-cap screws off revealing 2 large filling ports that are not far off half circles so almost meet each other. The top-cap isn't a bayonet style or comes off with half a turn like tanks of late but it's saving grace is the threading is very impressive in fact this is a good moment to mention build quality, machining and tolerances are of the highest standard. The base unscrews along with the coil which is threaded to the airpipe (first time was an ordeal trying to get it undone but then undoes with relative ease). The glass per norm is secured top and bottom via o-rings, moving to the base we have branding and a non-adjustable, Gold plated 510 pin which when it comes to hybrid safe i would air on the side of caution. The supplied coil is a Kanthal single mesh with a 0.15ohm resistance with a rating of 40w to 70w and a big pro full coil specs are clearly visible on the coil head. This coil is a beast for a single mesh with a wide bore down the centre so i am already thinking loads of air and probably loud. Their are 3 other coils available which are a Kanthal dual mesh 0.2ohm rated between 60w to 90w, a Kanthal triple mesh 0.15ohm rated between 80w to 110w and for those with cast iron lungs the quad mesh 0.15 rated between 130w to 180w (no thanks). The capacity of the tank is an impressive 6ml but looking at the pictures of the other coil heads they do look slightly bigger probably reducing capacity slightly. The drip tip is a very nice looking resin 810 but if you want to use your own and want a tight fit you need to use ones with fitted o-rings. So far so good but! no spare glass, no spare drip-tip, no 510 adaptor and worst of all and a first one on me no spare coil which is a massive con.

Performance of Metis Mix
I will keep the performance of the tank separate from the Manto X device as i didn't use the tank that long before trying other tanks on the device. The reason i didn't use the tank long is i don't like e-liquid on a device and the Metis Mix does leak. I believe it's the bore being so wide and open on this single mesh coil contributing to it and the airflow slots are very low so any escaping juice comes straight out the slots. I have known worse leaking tanks but personally i don't use tanks which also need me to be armed with tissue. I did use the tank enough to say their is nothing wrong with the flavour in fact the flavour was very good and i used the tank with the airflow at halfway as it gives loads of air much more suited to high wattage rather than the 60w i was at. I actually believe the tank will be much better with the other coils available and with the bores being narrower on the coils leaking will probably be much reduced but as i was only supplied with the one coil i am just assuming. The other thing to mention is the tank is loud but again how wide the bore is on the single mesh coil will be a contributing factor.
