Innovative technologies and modern ideas have not left vaping without attention lately; there are more and more devices with almost artificial intelligence, which simplify the operation of devices as much as possible. But this does not mean that manufacturers forget about such classic devices like tanks and drips. It is the drips that have been giving vapers great flavor and bulk for years, and no one is intimidated by the need to pump them out after three to five puffs. Many vapers know Twisted Messes, a company founded by one of the gurus of coil-building, Kent Hill. The drips of this manufacturer always attract attention, and in order not to forget about the company, Twisted Messes Dang RDA was released, developed together with the reviewer Duane Roederer (Ohmboy). Although the drip looks quite standard, but its inner world will pleasantly surprise fans of experimenting with windings. It is worth paying tribute to the developers, who decided to depart from the standard design and offered something new and original.
General information
Twisted Messes Dang RDA is a drip atomizer for two or one spirals, with some unconventional pierless deck and top side airflow that allows you to get great taste and full body. The design of the drip is quite laconic and a bit austere, but many vapers will like it. Particular attention should be paid to the base, made in the form of a rackless deck, designed to install two or one fat spirals, and the mounting system is very original and non-standard. Use of top-side blowing is not new, but thanks to it the australian vape will get excellent flavor and fullness.
Kit
One can’t say that Twisted Messes packed the new vape in any special way; rather it is quite a standard package, which is not surprising and unusual. In the box the vaper waits:
Dang RDA drip atomizer;
T-shaped screwdriver;
Replacement fingerings;
Replacement screws;
Squonk pin;
User’s Manual.
Appearance and design
Vapers who have come across Twisted Messes products know very well that its devices are not distinguished by original design and non-standard appearance. They are made in a strict, laconic design, which attracts attention, because not every vaper likes colored drips with bright logos or inscriptions. The Twisted Messes Dang RDA is not an exception because it looks simple, but at the same time very stylish and beautiful.
The drip’s seat diameter is 24mm, so it will look logically on most box mods and mechs. The drip-type, which the drip is completed with, 810th bezoring double-compound, which by right can be called the only decoration, and if the vaper has a desire, it can be replaced by any other from his collection.
Base, blowing and peculiarities of use
It is quite natural that vapers expect something unusual from Twisted Messes products, especially with respect to the spirals installation system. And Dang RDA will not disappoint them, as the joint work of Kent Hill and Duane Roederer (Ohmboy) can clearly be felt just by removing the dome of the drip. The decision to use a stemless base with virtually no restrictions on the size of the spirals is quite logical, because this particular drip will allow you to constantly experiment with windings.
The deck is quite original and is made in the form of two clamping elements which are screwed on the side with two screws located opposite to each other. An important feature of this base is that the pressure plates are made of ceramic, and the contact is achieved by the two central posts + and -. When you install the spirals, two legs are pressed at once, so the contact between the coil and the posts will be even. Depending on the vaper’s preferences, you can use fatbuilds (there is enough space), either two or one.
Due to the design of the deck in the base of Twisted Messes Dang RDA there is not much space for the wad, and the bathtub is small enough. But there is a traditional squonk pin in the kit, which allows you to use the drip on appropriate devices.
No less interesting in the Twisted Messes Dang RDA is the blowback, which is vertex-side. There are two rows of small holes in the skirt, and a knurled top cap (for easy rotation) has a hole that also has two levels, thanks to which you can cover one row of holes in the skirt, use both or pick up an intermediate option.
Conclusions and impressions
We can confidently say that Twisted Messes Dang RDA was created by coilbuilders and for coilbuilders, as the opportunity to experiment is offered very much. Due to the original design of the base you can use the most original and non-standard windings, and the spherical treatment of the dome and top-side blowing will allow you to get a great taste and bulk.
