I found out today that aspire is releasing an updated version of its successful aio kit. The aspire breeze 2 is going to be a pod based system with up to 3ml capacity. Don’t know the difference? Check this out, https://vapedojo.com/blogs/vape-dojo/aio-devices-vs-pod-devices .The reason it interests me, it will still utilize replaceable coils. So, you have a ton of coils from your original breeze? No problem they will fit! They have also included a new coil, a 1.0ohm. This aspire has listed as being specifically designed to be used with nicotine salt type liquids. The combination of a pod with a replaceable really gives you the best of pod and aio devices. Coil goes bad mid way through the tank, no problem swap out the coil and don’t lose juice. Want to mix up your all day flaver with something different, awesome pop off the tank and put a different one on. Over all I can’t wait to get my hands on this to give it a try.

]]>Aspire has made another Nautilus tank/device, and we all know that it will not disappoint. The Nautilus has been around for a long time and is a great competitor in the low wattage game. Always providing amazing flavor and a very satisfying hit at such a low power setting. The Nautilus AIO is most definitely a "top 5" when it comes to salt devices. The design of this device makes for a great all around device. The Nautilus AIO just feels right when you hold it - and it hits just as well!
The Nautilus AIO is very similar in size and design to the Breeze 2 - but with some well needed changes. The power button does not feel flimsy anymore, and the two side buttons that hold the tank on are definitely sturdy and less likely to mess up over time. The cap that goes over the mouthpiece actually stays on now.
They have changed some things with the tank where the Breeze 2 fell short on. Like I said before, they have made the mouthpiece guard actually stay on and do its job. The two side buttons have a better grip on the tank and are way more durable. This time they put th
e coil on the bottom of the tank so you do not have to remove the mouthpiece anymore to get to the coil. For those who have or had a Breeze 2, you know the struggle of getting that mouthpiece off. They kept the adjustable airflow that the coil spins onto, but made it tighter so the airflow does not adjust from vibrations. You still fill it the same, but they increased the capacity to 4.5 ml's, which is a lovely touch. With the Nautilus coils you get a wide range of resistance to choose from to meet your needs. The new salt Nautilus coils are very well designed for a great hit and wick really well, while at the same time not over wicking.
This AIO is an amazing all around device and will most definitely be a competitor in the salt game for a good bit of time. The tank on this device should be kept the same and not changed/swapped out. It is easily accessed and is well designed for all users. The only issue I have with Nautilus AIO is that is all plastic. It is not a huge issue but I do see some of my paint coming off after a only month of use. I really do not care, but I'm not everyone. The plastic design is great for weight, but the Breeze 2 metal just felt better, and not cheap (like plastic can feel). Otherwise the device is absolutely on point and should a device to own when using Nic Salt.

https://www.menlopark.org/DocumentCenter/View/18746/H4---ATTY---Grand-Jury-Smoke-Free-18-181
Some excerpts from the PDF:
(excerpt): “Electronic Cigarette Aerosol (or Vapor) Electronic Smoking Devices (ESDs or e-cigarettes) emerged in the U.S. in 2007, as alternatives to smoking tobacco and marijuana. Use of e-cigarettes is commonly referred to as “vaping.” They quickly became popular, in part due to efforts of manufacturers to attract young buyers through tactics such as bubblegum and fruit flavorings. While e-cigarettes and similar devices do not produce tobacco or marijuana smoke, the vapor they emit is also harmful. It contains particulates, propylene glycol or vegetable glycerin, nicotine (in the case of tobacco), metals and other toxins.“
(excerpt): “San Mateo County Health System’s Responses to Secondhand Smoke Tobacco Prevention Program In 1988, the California Tobacco Tax and Health Protection Act (Prop. 99) was passed by the voters, creating a statewide, comprehensive tobacco control program. Prop. 99 levied a twenty-five-cent tax on tobacco products and placed new restrictions on the sale of tobacco. With the revenue generated by this initiative, the County established the Tobacco Prevention Program (TPP) in 1989 as part of the statewide network to educate the community on tobacco-related health and policy issues.28 The TPP’s 2014-2017 Program Goals and Interventions29 included: ● Reducing exposure to secondhand smoke by implementing smoke-free multiunit housing policies ● Engaging youth in tobacco control and amending tobacco retail ordinances to broaden the definition of tobacco product ● Reducing the availability of tobacco by eliminating tobacco sales in pharmacies/health care settings”
(excerpt)...The towns/cities of Colma, East Palo Alto, Half Moon Bay, Menlo Park, Millbrae, Pacifica, Portola Valley, and San Carlos do not have smoking ordinances that restrict smoking in their multiunit residences, except in some common areas. Atherton, Hillsborough, and Woodside have no multiunit housing.
(excerpt)...The towns/ cities of Colma, East Palo Alto, Half Moon Bay, Menlo Park, Millbrae, Pacifica, Portola Valley and San Carlos should, by December 31, 2018, hold public hearings to evaluate issues and hear residents’ views on restricting smoking in multiunit housing in their jurisdictions.

Jewelers screwdrivers
A key tool that I feel should be in a good build kit is a set of decent set of jewelers screwdrivers or a decent electronics screwdriver set with changeable bits. Every RDA has a different type or size of screws for your post lead or 510 connections. So having a dedicated screwdriver set for your RDA is key for your kit.
Wire Snips
The second item on my list is a good set of Wire Snips. I would recommend a pair of snips with a more presion style of cutting edge. One brand that Vape Dojo carries is the Youde Technology wire cutters, they are fairly inexpensive and will last awhile if you take care of them.
Coil Jig
Next item up on my list is a decent coil jig or a coiling rod. Look around and find one that you feel will suit your needs. Many manufacturers make decent coil jigs but one I would recommend is the Coil Master V4 coil jig. It’s a well overbuilt coil jig that offers coiling rods sized from 1.5mm to 4.0mm.
Wire
Another thing I like to have in my kit is a common wire (I like to use). Normally I keep a spool of 22 gauge Nichrome, a spool of 24 gauge Kanthal, and a spool of 26 gauge stainless steel.
Ohm Reader
Another great tool to have at your disposal in your kit is an Ohm Reader (to see what your coils ohm out to) before you put your RDA on your device. There are two styles of ohm readers I recommend, the simple AA ohm reader and/or a pulse-able ohm reader. The AA style ohm readers are great to see what your coils ohm out to before you dress them up and get them firing evenly. As fair as pulse-able ohm readers go, I like the Coil Master 521 Ohm Reader. The nice thing about the Coil Master 521 is that you can fire your coils and dress up your coils on it.
Tweezers
Another key tool to have in a kit are tweezers, and in this case the more the merrier. In my kit I have a pair of 45 degree needle nose tweezers for manipulating my cotton. Also, a set of needle nose, blunt tip, 45 degree ceramic tipped tweezers for adjusting my coils. The nice thing about ceramic tipped tweezers is that you can pulse your coils while using the ceramic tweezers because ceramic does not conduct electricity.
Cotton
As far as cotton goes it’s always good to keep some in your kit for when you need it. I like to use Cotton Bacon Prime. It is a stripe style cotton that I feel is easy to work with.
Scissors
Another item I like for my kit is a small pair of scissors. I like prefer a pair from a small emergency sewing kit from Walmart I picked up a few years back. They are small and have stayed sharp.
Extras
A few extra tools I like to keep in my build kit are a small steel wire brush to clean my coils, a small pair of smooth jawed pliers to pull or hold my leads while I wrap my coils, an RDA's wrench to remove stuck atomizers, and a few spare parts for my RDA's.
]]>Another Cleito From Aspire
Yes Aspire has made another Cleito with some well needed changes. This does not mean the other Ceitos are bad. What it means is that it is obvious that the Cleito tank is doing really well since it was introduced, and to keep up with the direction that vaping is going Aspire needed to show they still got it under control. I am pretty sure anyone who has been vaping for at least a year now has definitely heard or used the Cleito. The Cleito has always been a tank that could easily compete with the rest of the field. My experience with this tank shows me Aspire definitely is able to keep their quality while their competition still thinking of ways to one up them. This tank might be on your list of what to get next. Let's get into it.
Lets see those SPECs
This tank has a 3ml capacity, while those under Tobacco Products Directive get a 2ml capacity tank. The height and diameter are about normal for most tanks on the market, so do not assume that because of the numbers that this tank is huge. Well, that is unless you actually took the time to actually measure it out - then of course you could decide what is too big or too small. Its drip tip is a little different from your standard wide bore drip tip everyone normally uses. This wide bore is a comfortably curved Delrin drip-tip. Looking at the drip tip it does seem a bit too much, but for someone like me who does not like wide bore drip tips, but I see myself as actually o.k. with this one. Talking about drip tips always makes feel like I'm going to say the wrong thing, but hey, how am I supposed to describe something you put in your mouth and pull on.
Let us get a better look at this thing
With this amplified view of the Cleito Pro I hope it will help me describe it better to you. This tank is just like 80% of top fill tanks. You have to have a empty tank to be able to change the coil so you do not make a mess. I love top fill, but I do not like the fact that many companies make tanks where you must empty the tank to change the coil. This is the only problem I have with this tank. Everything else comes apart very easily and makes it very easy to clean the tank when the time is needed. I have not found myself losing any parts or unable to figure out how to reassemble it. The biggest change to the tank compared to the original Cleito is that they used a little bit less glass and more metal. This is really good for mos vapers since we all knock our vape over or drop it from time to to time. This does not mean it is indestructible, but it can take a little bit more of a beating. I just cannot be anymore pleased about how nice and easy this tank comes apart. I clean my tank after every coil change to help prolong use/life. Also the feeling of having a fresh tank is very satisfying to me.
Let’s talk about the Coil
The new Cleito Pro coils are definitely the best part of this tank. They are using mesh coils now in the same design of the original cleito coils. They of course changed the wick holes on these coils by making them a little tighter than the originals. Especially nice is the mesh coils not needing a ridiculous amount of E-liquid and thus preventing dry hits. With mesh coils it is using lower resistance with amazing surface area. Having, w/lower resistance you are able to push more wattage through the coil to get the bigger hit you want. Having surface area gives you way better flavour than a typical coil would, and it also helps with longevity of the coil. E-liquid consumption will be high in the beginning due to the amount of cotton in this coil, so make sure you prime your coils really well before use. Now this does not mean the 0.5 ohm coil is bad at any means. This will depend on the individual. There are people that come into my shop saying they do not like mesh, or conversely, they only want mesh now. This goes the same with E-liquid. All depends on you. The 0.5 ohm coils are still really nice - especially when it comes to vapor production. The mesh are just so damn good when it comes to flavour.
How do i change the coil and fill the tank?
When it comes to changing the coil they have made it a little easier by lowering the profile of the glass. Now remember when you change the coil you have to have the tank empty or it will run out of the airflow holes at the bottom of the tank. Not fun. Otherwise, the top just unscrews and then you are able to unscrew the coil. Done and done. It is just like most of your top fill tanks. Now, when filling the tank there is no need to unscrew the tank.
There is ring that pulls off that reveals where the fill hole is on the top side of the tank. All you do is lay your tank on its side or just tilt it and fill through that hole. When your done filling the tank put the ring back on and your done. I have not had any E-liquid leak through the ring that you put on. I have repeatedly pulled off and put the ring back on to see if any wear starts to happen with the o-rings that secure the ring on. Nothing noticeable after 5 days in row of doing that. Of course I slept! I did 5 days with 8 hours each of just fiddling with it. Noticed nothing. Now it does come with extra o-rings just in case you somehow pinch or wear them out - just do not lose the box like you probably have with every other tank you have ever bought.
Well is it worth it?
I most definitely say it is worth it. I have had no issues at all. Again, the only thing I do not like is when the tank has to empty when changing the coil, but I do clean my tank every time I change my coil. I am just thinking like your average vaper who only cleans their tank once every 3 months, or when they are finally told that "this is gross" and it needs to be cleaned. The mesh coils for this tank really sold me on it. The flavour and the hits are just amazing, especially for a pre-built coil. The design of this tank just looks great and the quality is fantastic. Of course there's always room for improvement, but this is great/outrageous for where vaping is at today. I give this tank an 8/10. I really want a top fill tank where E-liquid will not go everywhere when I remove the coil or when I need to change it cause either I'm out and do not have a sink handy, or I just burned the coil cause I'm an idiot. It is only 3mls of E-liquid, but that is 3mls of E-liquid i'll never see again unless I go get more. The filling part is easy but I can never get the tank to line up perfect with my mod, so i can just lay it all on its side to fill it to the tippy top. Again, i'm just nit picking little problems just so you know if you get one. Working at a vape shop I have to look at these really crazy complaints so I know these “issues” well before someone tells me it's the end of the world. Yes shit does happen. I would still recommend this tank a customer regardless, because all the pros most definitely outweighs the couple of cons. Just go get one and be happy.
]]>My simple build of choice is a 22 gauge nichrome single strand coil. Generally I prefer a 6 wrap for this coil with a 3 millimeter inner diameter - this way I can get a decent amount of cotton into the coil. Nichrome I feel gives me the best of both stainless steel and kanthal. Nichrome has the ease of building, flavor, and ramp up of stainless steel, and the cloud production of kanthal.
As far as exoctic builds go I have attempted many: alien fused claptons, corrugated fused claptons, various twisted builded, but my all time go to is a fused clapton. To make my fused claptons I like to use a 26 gauge kanthal core wire with a 38 gauge or 40 gauge nichrome fusing (or outer) wire. The reason why I use both kanthal and nichrome for fused claptons is because the nichrome helps with heating up the kanthal so there isn’t a slow ramp up. With this build I like to use it as a dual coil set up, 4 wraps for each coil, with a 3 millimeter inner diameter. This build is a perfect match for my Recoil Rebel RDA, and I get a nice crisp flavor with a great dense cloud.
Another I would recommend for those who, like me, enjoy builds, would be the Daedalus Pro by Avid Artisan. It is a great coil jig kit that comes with everything you’ll need. The sled is great and easy to set up for various builds, and this frees up your hand from having to hold your wrapping wire. The drill included in the Daedalus kit is also a great convenience because of the variable speed wheel and ability to use 18650 batteries to power it.
So my question to you is, what is your favorite simple and/or advance build to make? And what tools do you use to make them?

Button shown here above is not a fire button. It is just used for turning the device on and off. I really wish they added a function with the button that would reset the amount of puffs taken, and not where the device resets the puffs when turned off. I do not find myself turning this device off that much, to be honest. Especially since the screen only stays on for 2 seconds and there is no fire button, so there is not much to worry about when it comes to conserving power.
To fill the pod is like any other pod, but they give you two fill holes for the same tank. At first I thought it was two separate tanks in the pod. That would not be a bad option if they wanted to add something new. Why two fill holes if its the same tank? This helps when filling with wider tip bottles. It gets rid of the chance of putting too much air in the tank. If you get too much air into the pod an air bubble has the chance to attach itself to the coil or the cotton that will cause dry hits. It's a nice touch to have the ability to use any type of bottle to fill the pod, but after learning my lesson with the pod systems I have used in the past I will always use blunt tip bottles to completely eliminate the chance of air bubbles in my pods. The coil in this pod is a ceramic coil and this explains the reason one needs to take a primer hit on the pod to get it at the temperature it needs to produce a satisfying hit. I have always enjoyed ceramic coils except for the need for primer hits. The flavor is always fantastic on these coils but I always find myself forgetting that I need to do a primer hit and then find myself doing a very long hit to get the satisfaction that I am looking for. It is not the end of the world, but if you have another pod system that delivers that satisfying hit immediately then most likely you are going to pick that device instead. That is the gamble of ceramic coils. They need to be wicked nice to provide the flavor people want because the satisfaction needs to be chased a little bit due to them being so slow to heat up.
Now would I say buy this device? I say yes! It is not the best pod system out there, but when it comes to the screen it does compete better than others. I give it a 7 out of 10. It would be lower if there were no screen. The flavor is nice but still not the best, imo. The fill system is smart for those who are quickly filling and do not want to take their time to fill the tank. The battery life is not that bad for a 500mah battery. I do like that they kept the auto pull that most pod systems have because I am starting to see some companies start to just go back to fire buttons. The button on the side of the TPOD is nice to have since you will be able to turn off your device easily. I always suggest turning you devices off when not using - if you have the option. If they added a function with the power button to be able to to reset the puff counter when you want to, and not only when the device is turned off, that would be a very nice touch. It would most definitely be a better device.
]]>WINE - PAIRED WITH TOBACCO FLAVOR. This should come as no surprise for anyone who loves wine. It's always great to have a puff with a glass of wine. Whether to relax after a long day, or out socializing and drinking, these 2 flavors really go hand in hand. I would recommend trying to pair your favorite red wine, with a raspberry tobacco flavored e-liquid. Perhaps Lack O’ Tobacco, by Ten Bucks.
MEAT - PAIRED WITH TANGY / CITRUS FLAVORS. Whether it is chicken, beef, lamb, or any one of your favorite meats, it is always great to have it paired with a fruit that is slightly tangy or citrusy to compliment the richness of the meat. The flavor pairing could be in the form of cocktails, sauce, or as a side. Poseidon’s Punch, by Vape Dojo Classic, will go great with your meat of choice.
COFFEE - PAIRED WITH DESSERT FLAVORS. We all enjoy our coffee in different ways. With so many flavor combinations to try with your coffee, we narrowed it down to dessert flavors. Dessert flavors such Charlie’s Custard, by Charlie Noble, works well with your morning coffee. Stroopwafel, by Charlie Noble, will go superbly if you love caramel with your coffee.
TEA - PAIRED WITH FRUITY FLAVOURS. Yes, we understand that not everyone loves coffee. No worries, we have all you tea lovers covered! There are so many flavor combinations that go well with your favorite tea, and here are some of my picks. Iced tea goes well with Prohibited Peach, by Ten Bucks. Simple, yet sweet/tart peach E-Liquid. If you are a Green Tea drinker like most of us, a Mango fruit mix flavor, such as Eden’s Beach, by Vape Dojo Classic, is a great option. If you want the whole experience through vaping itself, try everything.
What other vape and food pairings have you tried? I would love to hear something new. If you have any recommendations on the matchings I should try, let me know in the comment section below. I would love to hear from you! As always, Take Care, & Vape On!

Aspire Revvo Tank -
Introducing the all new Aspire Revvo tank, a truly 'out of this world' design with an innovative, revolutionary, new type of coil - the ARC 'Aspire Radial Coil'. The 24mm tank comes in two sizes, the TPD compliant 2ml version and, of course, the standard 3.6ml version. It has an adjustable top airflow construction and a special spring-loaded filling tube. Whichever you choose (or are forced to choose if you're in a TPD compliant area), you'll be amazed by the innovation that Aspire has put into this fantastic new design.
Revvo Tank Dimensions
Revvo Tank Appearance
The Revvo tank comes in five colors, Stainless Steel, Chrome, Black, Blue and Rainbow.
Revvo Tank Exploded View
Glass retaining ring, glass tube, base hardware, ARC Coil, Mounting Screw, Top Chamber, Airflow ring, Drip Cap
No one has yet produced such an innovative replaceable coil for a tank until now, except of course, Aspire. The fantastic all new coil design, the ARC, 'Aspire Radial Coil', sits horizontally in the tank similar to a 'stove-top' design. Of course, the real trick in the design is the increased surface area of the coil for great flavor and great vapor production rated at 0.10-0.16ohm using Kanthal AF wire.
Revvo Tank Filling
Filling your new Revvo tank is another of Aspire's innovative designs, and it couldn't be simpler. In the center of the tank, accessible directly through the mouthpiece, sits a spring-loaded filling tube. The spring of the tube is soft enough to allow even slight pressure from almost any type of bottle/glass dropper to open it, but strong enough to create a leak proof seal when released after filling, and the strong Pyrex glass tank allows you to see at a glance the amount of e-liquid in the tank.
ARC coil Installation
Fitting or replacing the new Aspire 'radial' coil has also been made almost too easy for words. Simply unscrew the mouthpiece/top-cap, unscrew the coil mounting screw, remove the used coil, drop another coil over the filling tube, ensure that it is sitting flush with the body of the tank around all sides, screw on the coil mounting screw and the mouthpiece/top-cap and that's it! It can even be changed with e-liquid still in the tank. As an added function, the conical coil mounting screw also acts as a spit-back protector, just in case.
To get the maximum benefit from the impressive revolutionary ARC coil, we also designed an equally impressive airflow system. So, The Revvo has a fully adjustable top airflow by way of 3 airflow slots. The air is drawn down over and around the radial coil maximizing the vapor and flavor delivered through the mouthpiece for the most satisfying vape experience.
Aspire is confident that this is one of our most innovative tanks yet, and whichever version you choose it will be sure to satisfy even the most discerning of vapers. Another first from Aspire and we're sure you'll agree.
Protective cap
Protective cap
1. It is recommended to close the airflow slots and to use the provided protective cap when travelling or when the tank is not in use to avoid leakage and prevent dust and dirt from entering the top chamber.
2. It is also advisable to use the protective cap when carrying onto a plane as the cabin pressure can adversely affect the pressure inside the tank.

1x 8ml Squonk Bottle
1x Quick-Charge USB Cable
1x User Manual
1x 18650 Battery Adapter
This tank is designed to combat even the thickest E-liquid you can use. The coil design purposely keeps your E-liquid flowing continuously. They have placed the wick holes as low as they could on the coil so not a single drop is "safe" anymore. This is well thought through for every type of vaper. I am very impressed with this design. Having these wick holes so low on the coil changes the game in such a good, efficient way. I was always tire of having to refill my tank when there is still a quarter of E-liquid in the tank. To be able to look at your tank and say its not empty yet - that's the correct way and it's great. I would always say my tank is empty when there was clearly a fair amount E-liquid still left over. I really like that it seems all companies are sticking to top fill tank designs. This tank is just so easy to fill and to also clean when needed.
I really like the extended kit when it comes to versatility. To be able to switch between a 2ml capacity to a 4ml capacity is so easy and such a nice touch. All you have to do is unscrew the top where you fill, then remove the glass, then spin the metal extension onto the coil, then put the extended glass on and spin the top back on. The only thing you have to remember to do is to remove the extended piece off of the coil when replacing the coil because i you throw away that extension piece the rest of the extension pieces are worthless. I have never had this issue before but i'm just making sure it is clear that you remember to do that. Here is a picture for reference if my description was not clear.
Lets talk about the coils a little more
Now I have said some stuff about the coils already, and how can I not talk more about them when the coils are the main part to any tank. Again the coil design is amazing when it comes to wicking efficiently. The low profile wicking holes are great for being able to use up all of the E-liquid that you have put into your tank while not having to fill when there is still a quarter of E-liquid still in it. The low profile design is also great for high VG E-liquid because it is able to use gravity and the suction you are creating when pulling on it to pull the E-liquid in a lot better than any other tank I have seen so far. I know your thinking, "well that means it is going to leak then." No, not really, not when you are in the correct wattage range that is listed on your coil. The coil is designed to not have leaking problems when used correctly. The manner in which they wrapped the coil with cotton is very well done. I have not poked at the cotton or needed to run the wattage lower or higher then recommended because I have not had any issues. The one part I really love about these coils is that you are able to use them in any Atlantis or Triton tanks and - you guessed it - yes, that means you can also use the Atlantis and Triton coils in this tank as well. I have tried the 1.8ohm Triton coils and the 0.4 ohm Atlantis coils in this tank and neither of them gave me any issue. The 1.8 ohm Triton coils seem to be giving me more flavor with this tank than the original Triton tank. I have no clue what is making this happen with this tank's design, but my only guess is the airflow of this tank is "just right" for these coils. Changing the coil is the only thing i really wish companies would make a little less messy. It is still easy to change the coil but you need to make sure your tank is empty when changing the coil or expect your hands to have E-liquid all over them.

So to the features of this mod. It has a lot to offer us. They have added some very easy controls and some nice added features i think all devices should have now. It has customizable logos on the screen. It is nice to not always have to see just numbers on my screen. You can write whatever you want on the screen without the use of a computer. You do not need any type of firmware or app to change things on this device. Everything is built right into it. So you can change the display with the device and you can also put a password on your device. This is a very nice feature that needs to put into all vape devices. To be able to keep people from using your device and to keep FDA from being FDA is an amazing feature. Again you are to make and change your password with your device without a computer. I absolutely love this. To not have to hook it up to a computer and find the program i need to just write “hi” is such a stress reliever. This feature is just great to prevent random people from trying to use your device when your out somewhere because ew cuties. Also nice for people with kids so that's one less thing you have to worry them little devils getting into. I just cannot stress this feature any enough. THIS NEEDS TO BE ON EVERY DEVICE THAT IS NEW TO THE MARKET!! Here is a picture for reference.
I have no real complaints of this device. It does what it is supposed to do and offers extra features that make it a little bit different than other devices but in a good way. Aspire is really making products that will help you vape the right way and the safe way, while not breaking the bank. This device is such a good blueprint for all other companies that are thinking about making new mods. I am very impressed and pleased with the direction this mod is going. I can only anticipate good things for the next one they produce and hope companies follow this. If you already have this device I hope you feel the same way, but we are all different so I'd like to hear if there is anything you feel different about or something i missed? For those who want to know how this device's controls work, or if you already have one but threw away the directions of how to use it here's the button controls.

When it comes down to chasing the flavor train most people you see will be using a rebuildable dripping atomizer, or RDA for short. While RDAs are great for flavor and cloud production, they also require a fair bit of maintenance.
What I mean by maintenance goes beyond just having to make coils and changing out cotton. Every month or so I go through a checklist on my RDAs. I start off by taking them apart and checking the posts, making sure my screws and post holes are not starting to strip or become misshapen. Next I take off my o-rings and place them in a small bowl with lukewarm water to tighten them back up. After that I do a nice deep clean with a soft bristle toothbrush on the deck and top cap, making sure I get into every nook and cranny. After the deep cleaning I place my parts in to a ultrasonic cleaner on a light setting for about 10 minutes just to knock off any crud that might not have been washed off during the deep clean. Once my RDA parts are done with the ultrasonic cleaner, I reassemble my RDA and do a post clean checklist.
My post clean checklist consists of checking my o-rings for any damage, making sure my insulators look good, making sure my 510 is snug, and making sure any RDAs with a screwed on negative are snug.

]]>I recently bought a new pod device and so far it is one of the best I have tried. I liked it so much I bought a second one to keep on hand in case the first one breaks. The Teros by Joytech is a small mouth to lung pod system that easily fits almost anywhere. It utilizes a 0.5 ohm coil which at first glance seems like it would be to low for a salt nic system. The power is set at a constant 1.85v, which does two things for it. One, it keeps the 0.5ohm coil from overheating and producing too much vapor making it similar to running it at 6.8 watts. Secondly, since it is pulling really low power it is able to run most of the without needing to be recharged. If it does run out the recharge time is only about 20-30 minutes. The last thing I wanted to mention about it is the price. I have found them for as little as $20 per kit, and as much as $32 per kit. Even at the $32 price point I believe this device is still a steal.

Lets jumps right into it. I will be using the breeze 2 as a comparison since we have already covered the breeze 2 and there are a couple differences. The spryte in my opinion is aspires way of trying to find the upgrade with the breeze 2 without really talking to their customers. Now that is not totally a bad thing when i say that but they could have definitely skipped some issues. As you see in the picture it sits on a slant. This is not completely bad but is not really worth anything. They could have easily made the bottom flat so it could actually stand on its own. It can stand on a slant if no one hits the table and if everyone has completely flat surfaces to put it on. The Breeze 2 can stand but again what is with the curved bottoms just make it flat. The button on the spryte it great. Very clicky and responsive with little issues of worrying the button may get stuck under the devices shell. The only issue i have with the button is its light. The button has an unbelievably bright light which can be used as a flashlight to find the key hole when coming home at night. Now this is a huge upgrade from the Breeze 2 since you could only see the light in the tank when it was dark or you had to remove the tank to see it. The cap that covers the top is like all aspires all in one kits it either falls off and gets lost or will not ever stay on. I would not mind a tighter cap or some type of latch system. Pocket lint has always been my enemy with aspire all in ones even when it is just sitting on my desk somehow lint finds its way in. I did just bash the spryte but i do really enjoy this device. The flavor is fantastic and the constant wattage till battery is fully drained is a huge plus. Getting a constant hit through its entire charge is amazing and all should use this. The Breeze 2 would have weaker and weaker hits as the battery died which is not horrible until i used the spryte. Now the spryte does has a 650 mah battery while the breeze 2 has a 1000 mah battery. This is not a huge negative but a kind of a disappointment. I do get around 3 to 4 hours with the spryte but also remember that being in a vape shop all you do is vape. So for the average vaper you should be around 7 to 8 hours with ease. If i have another device in rotation i get 8 hours of the spryte. The charging port is the last thing i have an issue with. It is on the bottom of the device. I do not know why they did not keep it like the Breeze 2. This is why i said these are upgrades without consulting your customers. Do not get me wrong i really like this device and i use this device everyday. These issues i just want you guys to know what you getting into. The issues are not horrible and should not make you not buy it. The spryte does everything right when it comes to vaping it but cosmetic wise it does not make sense.
Now removing the coil and filling the tank is very easy as shown above. Im very happy that they kept adjustable airflow. Adjustable airflow is a must have with all in ones. It really helps you fine tune the pull you want especially when using salt e-liquid. The only problem i have with the tank is that you can not have a full tank when changing the coil. I really wish they kept the design of the Breeze 2 tank where you were able to change the coil with a full tank of e-liquid. It is ok though because i have become used to this and usually when i need to change the coil my tank is not full. The coils have been lasting me on average from 5 to 7 days. Do not forget i work in a vape shop so all you do is vape. There is not much more to cover since it is an all in one it makes reviews very easy. I still do recommend this device to anyone who wants an all in one or a device to use salt e-liquid in. The cons are not really issues to make you not buy just as a heads up. I just wish Aspire would see some of these reviews to better their next device. Cosmetics are not always something that is needed but should definitely be looked at if you want people to use the device over others.
