H A R D WA R E R E V I E W S Kennedy RDA Clone: by Vaper UK I purchased this from Evolution Vaping for a very reasonable £15.99. I was looking to get an RDA that had good airflow and was easy to use. With the Kennedy there is no control over the airflow, just massive amounts from it. As you can see from the image below there are 4 air holes which take the air from the bottom of the RDA and direct it from under your coils. With this RDA, it is made for dual coils. If you are a single coil fan then you could block off one side and just have the air flow on the side where your coil is. It has a 3 post design and utilises a deep juice well, which helps prevent flooding of the air holes which are raised from the bottom of the juice well. The centre post is copper with the two negative posts milled into the deck itself. If you are using Ni200 or very thin gauge wire, the screws do have a tendency to cut through the wire and you are left with a useless coil and have to start again! But get it right and it works very well. The post holes are not big; you would have problems fitting twisted or parallel builds into this deck, so it would be best suited for single strand coils. Once you have your build done, you are ready to experience the massive amounts of vapour and excellent flavour that this RDA produces. For the price this is a fantastic RDA. It really produces plumes of vapour and the flavour is fantastic. It’s well worth the money, even if there is a problem with the screws cutting thin gauge wires. Kangertech Subox Starter Kit: by Vape Guys I love this small black beast of a vape. The Subox is now my necessity vape and I carry it everywhere. The Starter Kit consists of: • • • • • • • • • KBOX Mini SUBTANK Mini 1 x OCC 0.5 Ohm Coil 1 x OCC 1.5 Ohm Coil 2 x RBA Coils 1 x RBA Mini Plus Base 1 x Screwdriver Japanese Cotton USB Charging Cable I don’t just love the SUBOX/KBOX mini; I love Kangertech, who have brought sleek, powerful and small vapes into the world. The Starter Kit unfortunately doesn’t come with an 18650 battery which is one of the downfalls. The battery cover is magnetic so there are no worries about breaking little plastic clips. The KBOX Mini is made from metal so it can take drops and knocks really well. The device itself is only 8cm long and is designed perfectly to fit your hand. SUBTANK Mini The SUBTANK Mini is a brilliant piece of equipment to add to your vaping arsenal and which I would recommend highly. It has a 22mm diameter and holds a whopping 4.5ml e-liquid. The tank itself has a pyrex glass tube; in the Starter Kit it actually doesn’t include a replacement. It’s quite durable, I haven’t had any leaks or cracks but there could come a time when I will have to go out and buy a replacement if it breaks. Wear & Tear As I carry my SUBOX in my pocket most of the time (mixed up with coins and keys), the paintwork has scratched off quite easily, which is a little disappointing. Conclusion Seriously BUY IT! I have found the same kit as mine on VapeClub.co.uk for £54.99, which is not a bad price. Remember you have to buy an 18650. This brings your entire kit up to around £65. Don’t buy a cheap 18650. I recommend buying a Sony VTC4 2100mAh High Drain Battery; better quality, better value and also they last longer. Thank you Kangertech for making such an amazing device.
