Ares RTA

[Rob Fisher]

Ever since trying the beta version that Phil and Demetri had with them at the Paris Expo I have wanted to get one and play. Finally it arrived... I will build and play today but in the meantime here are some pics.


I wanted Demetri's tool because I'm trying spaced coils to see if they make a difference.

 

[Rob Fisher]

OK @Scouse45 has been nagging me so I did a build on the Ares... I used Demetri's spaced coil tool with Kidney Puncher Ni80 25g which came out at 0.483Ω


First impressions are that it's a great flavour tank! I know it's aimed at the MTL crowd (which I'm no longer a part of) and I was hoping to get a flavourful restricted DL vape from it and I'm not disappointed. It seems to be wicking well and the flavour is very good. It's a great pity it wasn't a 22mm atty because I have so many 22mm mods... but at the price this looks to be a winner for the tight inhale crowd... for the DL boys it may be too tight but it is vape-able for me...


Will report back after a few days of using it!

Thanks so much bud looks promising!

Looks real good, waiting patiently on the feedback you have after a few days

 

[Amir]

looks very similar internally to the Siren V2 but that airflow looks super interesting... Looks like a recipe for a monster flavorful throat hitting tank.

I must say the tight draw is a little too tight for me but will persevere.

And a follow up...



Just the opinion of some Scottish bloke

Is it rude to ask for dibs if it’s not for u haha I’m struggling to find one

 

[Rob Fisher]

Reviewers shit storm.

He’s butt hurt because he had some testing done with the Siren V2...will not admit it’s a great rta despite all other reviews saying it’s great.

Luckily I asked first lol

Does it matter? People are gonna be like "really? Is that bad? I think I should buy one to find out." There's no such thing as bad publicity.

@Rob Fisher too soon for an update? Flavour and no leaking are my main concerns...

Interesting thought coz Todd also said it’s not a good mtl

Flavour Great! No leaks! I specifically left it standing for a few hours... vaping on it again and if you like a tight draw it's for you! The other good news is it WILL be available in South Africa by the end of the week! Boom!

 

[Rob Fisher]

Interesting thought coz Todd also said it’s not a good mtl

Well I'm not sure how he arrives at that because while you can DL it it's very very tight... and probably a bit too tight for me. I'm not the best to test MTL because I haven't vaped that way for a long time now... and I was hoping for a slightly more open airflow for a restricted lung hit but it's too tight for me and I have all the airflow open all the way!

Will be interesting to see how a MTL Vaper will find it. That will be the real test!

 

[Pixstar]

Yeah Todd said he preferred it if it was a tighter mtl. He did however say flavour was great.
Vic on the other hand made more reference to the Siren V2 in that review than the Ares (the rta he tested before release).
That’s why I’m more interested in user reviews.

I’ll pick one up soon as I can and test it out pure mtl. If u say it’s too tight for direct lung on widest airflow then it’s definitely gonna b fine for mtl. Sometimes these reviewers are so varied it’s madness I think Todd is going for a ridiculously tight draw like the smallest airflow on the berserker

I see both of them didn't use the spaced coil. Would that make a difference?

I generally hav found the spaced coils always work better and crisper in mtl devices

I enjoy spaced coils in RTA's and small build RDA's. Temp Control users swear by it, say it's more accurate for TC and it eliminates hot spots.

 

[Silver]

Ooh this is exciting @Rob Fisher
Thanks for sharing your experiences
Am going to zoom in on this over the next day or two

And very very easy to build, no scratchy scratchy, pinching, twisting ect ect ect.

 

[Rob Fisher]

Talking about spaced coils... I have been playing with spaced coils a bit of late (always used normal compressed coils) and wanted to see if it made any real difference. I used one in my O-Genny V2 and in that setup it did help with flavour... but the one thing I really love about the Ares is all the goodies it comes with... and the item I was most interested in getting my paws on was Demetri's spaced coil tool. What a win!
