Wotofo Bravo RTA review by the Durbanator

nice review , im a big fan of wotofo i may have to check this out , im not a big RTA guy but im satrting to lean that way more and more

Thanks for reading! Yes the clamps have a very clever added feature, as u undo the extra long screws the bottom clamp lowers and as you tighten it lifts back up so you don’t have to use the other handle to jostle the bottom clamp in place. While holding the coil leg still. Not groundbreaking but something I haven’t seen before

Defo worth a look if you need another tank, and probably if you don’t! I have never seen a company put a thick silicon sleeve inside the glass. Not sure if this is just extra care to protect it during transit or if it’s for tpd to lower the tank capacity.

Nice review dude! Is it tricky to get both coils to stay in the right place while you’re tightening down the clamps?

No they stay put nicely. The only issue I found was being able to snip the coil ends off neatly once both sides are in place. To be fair my clipper is a bit rusty

You can put one coil in to see what leg length u need, snip that, remove, place on jig next to 2nd coil and snip its legs the same length and then place both in.

Great job @Cloud98 - thank you! Enjoyed reading! :+1: :tada:

That sounds like a problem! :wink:

Seems like you’re very happy with it regardless!

Tanks for the info. I keep seeing more and more good things about this one. Going to have to put it on the list.

Great advice worm thanks. Why didn’t I think of that

Sorry I meant not grub screws but proper screwy screws. Anodised harder than hard. Wax lyrical ing about screws what has it come to

I’m about to toss this rta in the trash. I know, i know…but Hear me out. First off, I’m no noob, I’m an experienced builder (3.5 years) and I have an embarrassingly large # of RTAs as i purchase about 90% of all new dual coil rtas that hit the market. I have never been so perplexed by an issue that I was forced to post on a comment board. Anywho, I love wotofo and with the troll being one of my favorite attys, I was all over the bravo; I was so certain i would love it, i bought 2 before tyin it, which I’ve never done; gun metal and ss. The first build on the tank was wonderful…for a day. Then I started getting a nasty taste. Assumed it was a wicking issue and adjusted cotton even though the cotton appeared totally saturated. Still same gross “dry hit” like taste. Tossed the nichrome fused Clapton’s I had in there and tried some kanthal claptons. Same nasty taste. At this point i knew It wasn’t wicking, I’d tasted this before when leads touched other coil or a coil touched a deck, basically i was tasting the smoke from a small short. Only problem was, I had no part of coil or leads touching anything. I even did a regular round wire 22 gauge kanthal build and spent 20 minutes bending leads just right so they didn’t even touch inside the clamps. Still smoking as if there’s a short. Gave it an ultrasonic bath to get out any tiny metal scraps that could be responsible, still shorts. Defective rta snuck past quality control right? WRONG. I’m experiencing the exact same issues with BOTH of them, which I bought from DIFFERENT vendors! I’ve switched mods as well; tried them on 2 different minikin v2s, the minikin reborn, the lustro, the rx20700 or whatever it’s called, the drag. Bottom line is it’s not a mod issue. If anyone had any idea what’s going on here I’d love to here it. No one else apparently has posted about having this issue, it’s not the mod or the vendor or 1 defective device, not the wire or the wicking and no discernible metal on metal. So what then?poltergeist? witchcraft? Some clever passive aggressive sabotage by my vape hating wife? is this how thy all are and everyone online is simply pretending they work great to make me crazy? I’m leaning toward poltergeist. please, i want to love this atty…but it tastes like an electrical fire!

You sound knowledgeable enough to narrow down everything except the juice you are putting in there or

so if not the juice, did someone pee in your cotton?

@Cloud98 I am REALLY liking the looks of that. Thank you for taking the time to put this up.

Thanks, Juice was not the issue i used different kinds in the two tanks plus I DIY and am using this batch of juice in multiple setups (i maintain around 10 mod/atty combos at all times ). I say “was” because after I posted this, I totally removed the bottom clamps and 510 pin of both attys and put it all in the ultra sonic cleaner again even w/ screws / screwdrivers (my thinking being if i drivers had grease or oil on them then it’s within the realm of possibility that it could have gotten into the drives of the screws and once heated up; skunked up my vape). After that I used the coils that wotofo provided with the tank and, though i don’t know exactly why, i finally got it humming again. Hope it lasts… thanks for the suggestion.

so it was really dirty wire that was used in the other builds?

Glad you got it figured out. I have been using my Bravo every day for a few weeks and really like it. I did notice when using the coils that came with the tank, I would get overheating errors. This was on more than one mod. Using any other coils I have had no problems and great taste and clouds.

Wow, that’s a really weird issue you ran into. So sorry to hear you had issues. I have had the Bravo for around 3 months now, vaping at 80W on their coils that came with the Atty. I loved this damned thing. Flavor was so much better than on my TFV8 that came with my ProColour. The only issues I ever had with the Bravo was leakage due to some sketchy wicking I have done when in a hurry and the final problem that made it a thing of the past. The top half turn cap or whatever they call it has come off on me a couple times, no doubt my own fault from not tightening it enough. The last time while I was hiking through the bush, climbing over fallen trees from a Microburst. I ended up with no lid and a pocket full of juice. A very sad time. Now i have to replace it and through all the reviews I have looked at I cannot find an RTA that I would rather buy. The combination of liquid capacity, monstrous flavor, build simplicity and quality of build put it in a class of it’s own in my mind. Now hopefully one of the local vape shops has one so I don’t have to wait the 3 weeks to get another by mail!!!
