Hi everybody, and thanks for stopping by for my review of the Geekvape Loop RDA.
This was sent to me by @healthcabin for the purpose of an honest review. I don’t do many reviews so please bear with me and excuse the photo’s (had to use the phone camera. My main camera isn’t working ATM).
Ok, here we go…
Inside the box you get the RDA, replacement o-rings, a gold plated squonk pin (with the juice outlets on the side of the pin), four replacement grubbies (slotted heads, not hex), 810 and 510 drip-tips, 510 adapter and the famous orange Geekvape tri-tool. You also get a multi-language user manual and a little paper wallet with pics of the different color options, warning info and (I guess) a registration card (Seriously, does anyone fill these cards out?).
Some basic specs from Geekvape:
24mm diameter
26mm height
8mm drip tip height
18mm drip tip width
Stainless steel material
5mm deep juice well (I measured it at a little over 7mm from the rim of the base)
Additional specs from Lostmarbles:
7mm exterior airslots
7.6mm interior airslots
OK, let’s play…
When you pop off the top cap you’re greeted by one of the strangest decks I’ve ever seen. The deck is shaped like a large “W” and has some interesting airflow going through it. I was looking to see how it would actually work and I’m thinking there is too much air flow in this to work properly. We shall see.
The next thing I noticed is the coils are mounted on a slope on either side of the middle W peak. Although this doesn’t look too difficult, you’ll have to measure your wire cuts carefully as there isn’t too much to work with.
Hard to tell from this picture, but the interior of the cap is domed for increased flavor.
If you look inside the cap at the 11 and 5 o’clock position you can just make out two little pegs which we’ll come back to.
I wanted to really get as much flavor as possible, so I coiled up a couple of Deep Water Ti coils (22g/6wrap/3mm). The first coil got tossed. I ended up cutting too much of the wire leads. Then I turned the coil over and rested it in the W with the leads pointed up. I cut then at the top of the W and they fit perfectly.
as you can see, it’s a tight fit…
Looking good…
Let’s wick and get to vapin’!
In the second pic, you’ll notice a little notch on the rim. There is another on the other side. Remember the two pegs inside the top cap? They fit into these notches and hold the cap in place as you adjust the air flow ring. Pretty cool. Wicking is soooo easy on this. Just stuff it into the well all the way to the bottom.
After the first hit…
Fuck me Alex! I am totally in love with this RDA. The flavor is fantastic. The vape is thick and dense and just swirls around in the mouth. At full open, this guy works perfectly. Half open is even more flavor and even with it barely open it works well but the vape is a bit hotter. I got no spit back whatsoever and of course no leaking.
I was completely wrong about too much airflow. The way this is designed is that the air comes in at the side, it is then deflected into the bottom of deck and drawn back up to hit the coil through the bottom. I got no annoying whistle at all in any airflow configuration. It works and it works very well.
The only cons I could think of were the grub screws. Geekvape decided to use slotted heads instead of hex heads. Not a deal breaker by any means, but I had to list something. Oh yeah, one other thing. If you like complex multi-wire coil builds, you may have problems. Because of the short legs and tight quarters, you will be challenged.
Would I recommend this?
I would recommend this RDA 100%!
