Overall. Short version of scandal between Vandy Vape and VooPoo
Vandy Vape ordered VooPoo 80W Gene Chip for their new product - squonk mod Pulse 80W
After long period of time of delivering the chip to the buyer, the price of the chip was increased twice and reach a 30% increase in total
After Vandy Vape rejected those terms VooPoo broke the contract. VooPoo's argument - they preparing box mod with that chip and similar features and functional. So Vandy Vape product will compete with the new VooPoo product
It turns out this isn't the first case when VooPoo increase the price on their chips in last moment to get better profit
Aside from that VooPoo emailing distributors, directly saying that their new product will be better, than Vandy Vape product
In this situation I'm totally on the side of Vandy Vape and it's not because I'm working with them. It's my moral choice because I'm against bad and dirty business
I'm on the Tony B. side - the creator and inspirer of Pulse project - Pulse 22, Pulse 24 and Pulse squonk
Me myself had issues with VooPoo - after i've done a review on VooPoo Too mod and showed that those stickers is falling off, VooPoo didn't like that a lot, they got sad and stopped to send me their products
And started to email other reviewers, directly saying that some of reviewers are lying about their product. There was screenshots somewhere, Serzh Navalisty and md Troy received such emails
At the moment I removed from viewing all reviews of VooPoo products, I need to not forget remove Demon RDA as well
And I'm officially state - I will never will review any of VooPoo products. Absolutely. In any shape. Never
In my opinion, VooPoo is thinking way too much of themselves and their business methods are wrong
So I will repeat - in this situation i'm on the side of Vandy Vape
That's it. Let's roll. We have a review to do. Intro...
Hehehey! Hello everyone! Alex from VapersMD is here
And i'm glad to welcome you on my channel
Today our guest is ThugLyfe RDA by Thug Nation Vape
This company is from California. But they manufacture their products in China, like the most products on the market
This RDA is symbiosis of solutions, that were previously known on the market, like Velocity and Plume Veil. The posts are very familiar
Overall, this RDA come out pretty interesting. I will tell a little ahead that I like the flavor of this RDA
But first, we will dive down and look in details how this RDA is done
Let's roll
As it says(in Russia) - stylish, fashionable, youthful
We have that bag as a package for this RDA - it have ornament, logo and so on
Fun fact - pay attention to those metal clamps, which tell us about the color of the device itself. This is what I call attention to details
Inside this bag we have RDA in plastic bag. Inside we have spare o-rings, allen key, BF pin, spare clamps and spare screws
But let's talk about RDA. It's made out of stainless steel and aluminum. For example right now I have SS version
And color versions have a top cap made out of aluminum and as you can see that RDA is available in 4 colors - Yellow/Black, Full Black and Pink/Black
Aside from color versions, the deck in all versions is black with steel posts
This RDA have a 810 drip tips slot, side dual airflow - one is Velocity-style, second is Plume Veil-style
The deck have two post design with 2 clamps for bottom holding of coils
Also this deck is only for dual coils and have decent juice well capacity - it's 6mm deep. The diameter of the RDA is 24mm, height with drip tip is 34mm, without drip tip 26mm
Now let's take a detailed look at it. As always we start from the top where we have a boring black delrin non-o-ring 810 drip tip
Classic fit, but due to 810 slot we can use our favorite 810 drip tips no problem
Moving forward. Now we can see the top cap. It's composite top cap, which is giving us airflow as the Velocity
On the top cap we have a logo of this RDA, that skull, and a name - ThugLyfe on both sides
Personally - I would left it only on one side, but it's the manufacturer decision
I think you noticed that hole. That hole is through on both sides and it gives us option of back airflow of the coils
Though main airflow is realized as on Velocity RDA. By unscrewing the top cap counter clockwise you are opening the airflow holes on both sides
Maximally, the holes can be opened like so. This adjustment gives insane cloud production when fully opened
If you will continue to unscrew you will get access to the coils and o-ring
Also, the top cap have spherical machining inside
Important note - these little holes will be always opened and you can't adjust it. So be aware of it
The top cap is held on the deck by 2 o-rings, and like i said the deck is black, posts are made of steel
Regarding of that back airflow holes - as you can see - it drilled right through, the air is coming out of this central insulator with oval hole - it will divide airflow on both sides evenly
By the way, on one side above the airflow hole we have a piece of metal. I think you noticed that it's only on this side
If we look down inside the top cap we will see a notch by which the top cap is fixating on the deck and will prevent top cap from spinning
In case if you will put on the top cap in the wrong way it will not fit, you will need to turn it a little bit, so the key will match with that notch, so the top cap will fit and airflow holes will match
Wonderful. Let's talk about the posts. As you can see there's two clamps which will tighten the leads from bottom
These clamps have a knurling for holding the leads. On the top of it we have 2 massive screws, they are in center of the posts and they will pull those clamps up and tighten the leads
This RDA could be used on squonk mods as well. If we unscrew regular pin we will be able to screw down BF pin, which we have in the kit
Also, on the bottom we have a screw that holds negative post, a nice protruding pin, deep engraving ThugLyfe and serial number
I'm totally satisfied with the juice well - it is 6mm deep. Pay attention - guys cut those corners - attention to details, again, and it's cool.
The screws is working like so. When you unscrew it the clamp goes down and opens a slot for putting the leads and in the end we have 4 holes - two on both sides
If you coil come out wide - you will place the leads in 1st and 3rd slot
I wanna apologize in advance - I won't be showing how I install the coils in this RDA, because there is an issue which I faced during coils installation
And the name of this issue is the screws - as you can see the screws are completely wasted - and it's only 2 installation of coils
I have to say - the metal used for these screws is very soft, I strongly recommend to Thug Nation Vape to use harder material
I tried several screwdrivers but the final is one for all of them - the screws are wasted
Another important thing - don't forget - these clamps are tightening the leads from bottom. In this case the amount of force on the screws is higher, than if we tighten them from the top
It's much harder to tighten anything from bottom than simply tighten it from the top
So the amount of force on these screws are high and as result - screws are dying
Anyway, that's how I installed the coils - as you can see the leads one lead is in far hole and the other is in the near hole. Initially, I wanted to do a counter installation, but it wasn't comfortable
There was not enough space for leads and they was shifting to each other too close. It wasn't cool, so I had to throw one lead to the far hole
Anyway, I centered the coils so they would get both back and side airflow and i'm fine with it
This build is 0.08Ω fits perfectly for mechanical mod
Folks, I strongly recommend not to staff your RDAs with a lot of cotton
RDAs doesn't like that amount of cotton - use as less cotton as you can, so the cotton just barely touch the bottom of the juice well
This amount of cotton is enough for any RDA or build
And yes - don't overdrip. Otherwise you will get the leak
It's HIM! My god, it's really him! He's come to help us! It's the Captain Hindsight
Okay, my coils are installed a little above the side airflow, I think it will positively affect the flavor
I guess I will leave that adjustment and we're all done. Hit that Fire button and vapor is happening
It means it's time for face-time, where we will talk of its pros and cons
Thanks for your attention in close up, let's go up
Man, I LOVE those Gorilla bottles that drip on your fingers, on your pants, on all other body parts
Blin
Tasty
Vkusno
And great clouds
All Alex's devices do big clouds, as they say
Well build your devices correct, so they will do big clouds
Anyway, not the point. Today we're talking about this RDA
And to this RDA I have 2 complaints. MAJOR and critical ones. Which the manufacturer necessarily must to fix
Fix it and give us, if I may say, more brutal product
They've done it brutal anyway, but let's talk about cons
What the hell are you talking about?
First con to this RDA I'll give for weak o-rings. The cap is holds badly, it's very easy to take it off, guys need to pick better o-rings
Second con. And last. And the most critical. The screws. The screws are very soft, they dying way too fast and manufacturer MUST change it
I want to say directly to the manufacturer - Thug Nation Vape - guys, pick better o-rings, more stiff. And find the replacement for these screws. Give us more sturdy screws
In close up I showed what's happening with those screws. With such coil installation the force that we apply to the screws is way higher compared with top tightening
With botto tightening you need to apply more force so the leads wouldn't shift
In this situation pressure on screws is high and these screws can't endure it
That's it regarding some major cons that directly affect the workability of this device. Now let's talk about nitpicks
For those who don't understand what nitpick is - it's the things you can live with, it's something subjective - maybe even cons, but ONLY for me personally and, maybe, for someone of you
Many can live with them and simply pay no attention to it
First nitpick goes to the convenience of coils installation. As you saw the leads is shifting when you centering it, so the airflow worked correctly
Many people doesn't like it. Many think, that if one lead is longer than the other it is burning the cotton
For me it's inconvenient, because I get used to the counter installation, i guess - when you just put the leads, simply tighten them down and that's it
In this RDA you have to center the coil, leave one lead longer than the other
You need to get used to this type of coils installation. And I think once you will start using such device you will pay zero attention to it - that's why it's a con
And last nitpick goes for boring drip tip. It's the most standard of all standard drip tips. Nothing exceptional. I like more interesting drip tips. That is why I'm using mine
I'm done with cons and nitpicks. That means it's time for pros
First pro i'll give for appearance. It look stylish, brutal, I will say it again - fashionably. Guys did a great job in terms of design, well done
Somewhere this dripper is looking like Velocity, but due to deep engravings, overall design and various colors of aluminum top cap this RDA is getting very interesting and stylish appearance. So a pro for appearance
Next pro I'll give for wonderful and versatile airflow. Due to this airflow you can get any result you want - insane clouds or intense flavor. I strongly like that airflow. And of course it's a pro
Intense flavor, decent clouds - but those two factors are totally depends on build you will install and the way you install it
Thankfully, I'm get used to it and know how to install the coils, so any device will have intense flavor
If you want to have same results as I do - watch my reviews - and you will succeed
Anyway - it's a pro for clouds and flavor
Regarding quality of manufacturing - initially I was thinking of giving it a major pro, but after testing the screws and o-rings have failed. So the quality isn't bad, but guys should fix those issues
Okay folks, that was all regarding cons, nitpicks and pros
And as always, in final we are summarize. Did I like it or not?
I liked this RDA - in terms of flavor, clouds, appearance and quality
But it all stuck at these f*^&ing screws. Which, I hope, guys will fix
Other than that I can recommend this RDA
BUT. In this place we are stuck - where to buy it?
At the moment you can buy it only in certain app called VapeBlock
That app is available both on iOS and Android and looks like so
But again, unfortunately, I couldn't register in this app, since after I filled out the form with my data it just wouldn't let me log-in. So I simply couldn't log-in and see what's going on in that app
After all forms are filled out, I tap next, I'm getting age verification, I tap continue and nothing happens
Nothing happens, no emails, no nothing. I simply couldn't log-in and see anything in that app
Though I know that price of this RDA in that app is 50$
Yeah, 50$ price tag is a little high for the average prices on the market. Especially for a product that is made in China
But anyway, it's a price from manufacturer, and the manufacturer decide what price should be set for their products
I hope this RDA will appear in online stores, maybe in some local vape shops in Russia. But anyway I liked that RDA and I can recommend it
If you have 50$ for purchasing this RDA, or maybe even less if it will be sold not through that app, then yeah - go for it.
It look stylish, it's good for matchy-matchy and it distinct from others.
On that we will finalize, friends
