Wotofo Serpent Mini Review
Bought this tank during a Black Friday sale for under $20. Packaging was typical with all the requisite goodies. Spare glass, grub screws, o rings in three colors, tri tool, twisted wire, and cotton were all included. On the packaging Wotofo encourages you to join SAFTA or CASSA with their websites listed. They also say they are a proud member of SeviaUSA. It’s a nice touch and really encouraging to see the corporations getting involved.
This tank breaks down into five pieces. The drip tip, top cap, shaft/barrel section, glass and build deck. The threading is really smooth for the price point. The barrel section tapers down towards the top so I guess you could say it has a slightly conical design. The shaft section between the barrel and top cap is extremely short and I am sure this contributes to the awesome flavor of this tank. The drip tip is nice and comfortable for a SS one but personally I would have rather it been Delrin. The top cap goes on and off easily and smoothly. The fill ports are about as large as they can be for a tank of this size and you should have no problem filling this tank with any type of bottle.
The deck is single coil as well as beautiful and simple with bottom airflow. A really easy deck to build and wick. It has offset opposed posts. No problem putting in a 3mm clapton at all. All though I would bend my leads so the flat part of the clapton faces the grub screws. It just makes the wire much easier to trap. When I wick a tank with this type of deck I like to cut cotton in the shape of a point so that the pointy end of the cotton is the part that hangs down the deck the furthest. For me this is the foolproof way to wick this kind of deck. I wish Wotofo would have followed the lead of Augvape and Cthulhu and include an airflow reduction pin. It just makes sense to give people options like that especially on a single coil tank. The tank has no juice flow control but to be honest you really don’t need it. I have had this tank for two weeks and she has never leaked on me once.
The only cons I have is the juice capacity and airflow adjustment. It only holds 3mls of juice and while that may not be a con for some people it is for me. However, I will gladly put up with the 3ml capacity because it's well worth the flavor this tank produces. The other con would be trying to adjust the airflow while the tank is on a mod. There is just nothing there to grab. I find myself sliding my fingernail into the AFC just to adjust it. Would have been great if they provided a little knurling.
This tank has tons of flavor. I have vaped juices I know very well in this tank and I’m here to say that the flavor is on point. The clouds are pretty nice for a single coil tank as well. Right now I have a SS Clapton ohming out at .59, 40 watts in TC mode at 480F and the vape is just fantastic. Just beautiful, flavorful clouds of Strawberry Custard. So far out of all the single coilers I own this tank is my favorite. It's’ definitely not for the die hard MTLers but you can MTL it if you shut the AFC all the way down and use a MTL drip trip. This tank is more for the vaper that likes a restrictive flavorful DL hit. All in all a great little tank. This tank is DeucesJack approved.
