Despite the predictions of skeptics who claim that the vape market is slowly starting to decline, more and more people are switching from regular cigarettes to vaping or just starting vaping out of interest. That’s why many world-famous companies are constantly releasing new products in order to hold their position in the market. But at the same time with enviable regularity new manufacturers appear (mostly in the capital city of Chinese vape production in Shenzhen) that offer vapers quite interesting technical solutions at affordable prices. One such company, which is just beginning to work in the Russian market OnetopVape, so far little-known, and that by review ofams western bloggers. In the domestic market the company appeared with OnetopVape Gemini RDTA which can be called a drip tank, but with a great stretch, a more accurate definition is a drip with a very large vat.
General info
OnetopVape Gemini RDTA atomizer which will please vaper with its unconventional approach to design, good enough flavor transfer and variability of airflow. Gemini RDTA is made in non-standard diameter of 26,5 mm, so it fits best to rather big size box mods and some mechmods. australian vape shop melbourne Atomizer can be bought in two versions gun metal and stainless steel, but both can be used with the complete dome made of heat-resistant translucent plastic.
Kit
If we talk about the Gemini RDTA kit, it is standard, but the box itself, where the device is sold, will definitely attract attention. The box of faux leather hints that inside you can find something interesting and worthwhile. After opening the box on the specially velvet backing (and under it) you can find:
Gemini RDTA
Optional stainless steel dome;
O-rings kit;
Set of additional screws;
Hexagonal wrench for installation of spirals;
User’s Manual.
The Kit won’t surprise you, but the presentation itself will definitely delight aesthetes.
Design and appearance
Before we start discussing the design, it is worth to remember once again that the atomizer is made in a rather non-standard 26.5mm diameter, so at first glance it will seem quite large and bulky. The appearance of the drip (the device can be called a drip) depends directly on what dome is installed on it, as when using the plastic version it looks original and non-standard, and with steel strict and classic device.
The manufacturer has taken care of vapers, so the device can be used with any 810-standard drip tip that will come to your liking. Immediately it is worth noting the high quality of processing of all parts and elements, as they are made without any flaws, burrs or badly polished areas all at the highest level. On the domes there are special grooves that go into the protrusions on the base, which greatly simplifies the process of unscrewing the device.
Case, airflow and key features
If we talk about the case, it is a rackless case, but it is slightly elevated above the bottom of the device. This solution allowed the developers of OnetopVape to increase the space for stacking absorbent cotton (in fact – a tub) to about 2 ml, and this is a very positive point because you can not refill the liquid as often during vaping. The base is very similar to the base in Dead Rabbit, but in Gemini RDTA it is a little smaller, but this does not make the base uncomfortable Coyotes are installed vertically and fixed on the side with the included hexagon. You can install either one or two medium sized builds if you wish. There are special grooves for stacking absorbent cotton, allowing you to place it directly under the rack, and you can stack quite a lot of absorbent cotton.
Now the most interesting thing – Gemini RDTA can be used in both RDA and RDTA modes, and there is no need to change anything or buy additionally (there were such cases from one quite famous company), you just have to replace the dome.
When using plastic dome, the device works in rdt mode, and the dome is designed in such a way that when the drip-tip is removed you can pour about 3 ml of liquid in its upper part, which will go down into the vat and impregnate the absorbent cotton through special holes in the walls. The design is interesting and non-standard. But you should be prepared for the fact that the blowing will be unregulated.
If a vaper wants to use Gemini RDTA as a classic vape, you need to install a steel dome and fill up the liquid in a traditional way. Blow-through is side, adjustable. By the way, the metal of the dome for RDA will surprise many people with its thickness of about 2 mm.
Conclusions and impressions
Despite the fact that the company OnetopVape is almost unknown in our market, they managed to create something non-standard and original and not just copy from other manufacturers, but develop their own device. If we talk about flavor and bulk, they are at a fairly high level, and depend more on the spirals used than on the design of the device.
