I really like the Athena but pulse for price point great review and another thing got respect for u Man U always comment or like on people’s comments hardly any one else does shows u actually read comments thanks bro
That pulse mod / Drop rda set up looks wicked good. But, the Athena is probably the way to go. Thanks for the head to head look. Have a great weekend brotha......
Been waiting for this review. You're the man. I like the looks of the ram the best but the Athena looks like the best choice. Wish you could buy it separately because I would rather have the drop RDA. But I most likely will be buying it to.
looking at Athenas right now, hoping to find a deal with the veterans day sales going on. Awesome battle man. Thanks so much for the info and opinion !!!!
I'm so thinking about getting the 5GVape Supercar Squonk because it's wood. And I've always wanted a wooden mod, it's well made, and the price is right ($39.98 with no atty or batteries...but does come with 2 silicone bottles with long plastic tubes). I appreciate the review. Sorry that you didn't vape the Supercar and don't like it. But I do see why you didn't. I did notice that the RAM does have a wooden option :) But I'm saving up and doing my research at this time. still waiting for my disability to go through so it may be a long while before I can afford one, if ever. Perhaps I'll get lucky and win a squonk set up soon! lol Great job!
AmbitionZ VapeR anytime keep up the great work mate. Always looking forward to any mech and rda reviews from u. U and big lou have the best input on this shit
You made me purchase the Athena kit with this video. I preordered the pulse on the first day and ive been all about the pulse and not the athena but i have to admit you are right. that is a really nice kit and its practically perfect...i had to get it asap...thank you for the video bro!
Dead rabbit is a damn good Squonk RDA and they just dropped the price. Literally the best squonk RDA I think that I own, and I have a bunch of them. I have not tried the drop yet, but come on it is the flavor of the week, so you pay top dollar for a product that is going to be at least 25% less in a month... ehh, no thanks! Earlier you get a product the more you pay... It's just how vaping is. www.efun.top/kangertech-dripbox-start-kit.html That link is for a mod that would run with these NP, 15.00 authentic. I have run it with a .12 SS build np.
I pre-ordered my RAM before I knew it was NOT a fully mechanical so I am getting myself the Athena and for the price I pay for the Pulse, I am getting one of those just to have it in my collection and/or to use at work :) Thanks for this, really needed a comparising on those. Cheers from Iceland
It came across like you wanted to say the Pulse hit pretty weak compared to the Athena, but politics softened the blow lol. Just an opinion. Thanks for the comparison on these bf mods. Was going to buy the pulse but ended up going with a rx200 dna squonk conversion.
DJLSB suggested squeezing the safety switch a little and that may help with voltage drop. I was wondering if you have tried this solution and if so has it made a difference?
I have the Athena. Was quite impressed. Just wish it had a charge port. I mean, you can cheat and have charge functionality and still be mechanical, right? I mainly use my vaporesso revenger with a vgod elite RDTA until I can find a NICE squonk that's rechargable
Like the review I'm waiting on the pulse also have the Druga and the predator squonk coming was gonna get the athena I'm just not keen on the idea of it being metal just my opinion but I do love my ram
I just recently ecducated myself on mechs, ohms law and battery safety as well so i could get into the squonk game with the pulse bf amd pulse 24, ive been loooking to buy the ram and dead rabbit and athena, worth it in ur opinion as an ass to the collection? Already added the Therion bf 75cDNA lol
You should do a reviewer battle review.. aura vs pharaohDripper vs deadrabbit vs recoilrebel vs bonzai vs Pulse2224 vs drop. It would be kindve difficult, more or less who took the belt for this year for best product in your opinion... HashTag🐇
I picked up a pulse after holding off of squonking for a while.. friends had good experiences with em been happy with my choice. Thing is a little tank.
the whole reason why your video is not even close. If you get the pulse Rda it will be like 10 cheaper and that is where you should do the comparison. Yes you can put the pulse on the Athena but if you actually do a (kit) comparison at least use the Rda that was designed with the mod. The pulse Rda will be the Athena hands down
On DJLsb video Daniel said that you could improve the voltage drop by tightening the screw on the lock so you could try that. That being said I do like the aesthetics of the pulse but I agree that copper is going to be a bitch to clean on the long run. On the other hand silver also is a bitch to clean so honestly even if would cost a premium I would prefer companies to use gold plating on their contacts.
Silver does get tarnish as well. It does take longer than copper but silver is known for it's tarnish. I used to collect coins and a couple of my silver coins in my collection has tarnish on them. Gold on the other hand does not tarnish at all so it's perfect for contacts.
I've had the Athena for about 3 weeks now. Waiting in the Pulse. Should have compared bottles as well. The silicone is a bit too soft with not a lot of "spring back" like the other that comes with the kit. Doable though.
Not sure why you're calling it a "40 amp switch " mod ' s fire buttons are not measured in amperes, only batteries have an amperage rating. The switch will push the amps from the coils through the mod. You just have to have a battery that can handle the load of the ohms from the coil. Also, you say because there is a wire in a mod, its not unregulated. That's just not true . It's using a wire to carry the current instead of a metal plate. The wire isn't connected to any chip , that's regulating anything...,its just a different method of a passing the current .... That's how it works , as I'm sure you know, I just wanted to clarify fir your viewers and for your future use of correct terminology . Thanks bro fir the showdown.
AZMATIK well the ijoy 20700s I use in my captain and get about 400 puffs on a .2 at 50 Watts.. With the 18650s I get about 315 puffs with the same coil/tank and wattage. So beer battery life. And they run 30amps continuous.. Most of the good batteries only do 20 .. Except for vtc5a's they do 25 amps... But if I use the 20700 in the pulse mech squonker..I can build lower than I can with the Sony vtc5 that I have because it can handle it.. And it's good to be extra safe. So it's a win win
Longer battery life and better battery safety. The most common 20700 on the market is the iJoy 20700 that has 30A CDR and 3000mAh compare that to the most recommended mech battery the VTC5a which is a 25A CDR and 2600mAh. What you need to ask yourself is what do you need the mod for. For me squonking is about the convenience of having a bottle inside so no need to drip an RDA so it's great for the go. The Pulse being able to rock a 20700 battery has the additional convenience of longer battery life. So if you vape on the go like me the Pulse would be a better mod. The athena is still not bad and it seems it has better contacts so if you want something to hit harder then it seems that will be a good choice.
+Epsilonsama yeah your pretty close on that buddy. But your not going to get battery life for the day on any squonk so u will need to swap batteries on any of these. So I think it’s what you can afford.
It's really funny when I come across youtubers using each other's lines. You used the same exact 3 line outro as anther person in all thier videos. I can't help but wonder who stole it from who. There is no way it could be a coincidence.
My question is mechanical mod squonker mod versus a regulated squonking mod I'm thinking I would rather have the regulated but they only make it in a 75-watt I haven't seen a review comparing the two and also with the mechanical mod versus the regulated mod I don't know about use of coils and ohms and how long a battery will last I kind of feel like regulating my wattage being able to hold the same wise to the end of the battery life versus the drop-in wattage would be better but I haven't seen anybody comment or review on that regulated versus mechanical maybe you could help me out with that
The reason for 60-80W limit on most regulated single batteries is that the most you should get from a 18650 is usually around 80w. On a mech or unregulated you don't have any regulation so you need to be careful about battery safety and do not chain vape. If you feel the mod is getting hot put it down.
I think the pulse has the largest capacity bottles if I am not mistaken I want to say one, not sure and silicone, the geekvape yes has 2 like your saying one hard one soft, the ram 3 of the same, not silicone but not rock hard, The super car, who cares it has a dumb car on it....
Just picked up a pulse yesterday and I love it. I had a ram and the resin imo is shit. If you drop it it will break very easily. Seems far to brittle to me. And the button on it is shit
I saw today on djlsb page that he pinches the little lever in the pulse that you can move up and down and it makes better contact that way, therefor less voltage drop. Check his review out.
Yea kinda disappointed in the Pulse. I understand its only $40 but i don't see why they would use that switch and squishy button. There's plenty of others that have a locking feature without needing a switch. I guess i expected more from Tony B. I think I'll stay away from China jumping on the squonk train
I have had a raging hard-on for the Athena kit, ever since you did you review. I was praying to win the giveaway you did but, eh, was not meant to be. I think the drop is .00002% better than the Athena RDA... Just from what I've seen. I don't not own any of the products 😒 5g supercar= too much $$$ not even worth it Great job! #athenakit
I would pick up the dead rabbit for squonking before the drop. They just dropped (no pun intended) the price on the dead rabbit, very good in squonk mode.
I don't have the athenakit, but I will give you a heads up on some stuff, there is an Ijoy regulated squonker coming out and also a Fuchi 213 regulated coming out... Good luck getting free stuff, try Efun.top for contests and 3Fvape also, they are both always running a contest for some thing new.
Great comparison vid! Many thanks for sharing your thoughts on all of the mods. DJLsb did a review of the Pulse yesterday and mentioned the voltage drop as well. He showed that by pinching the contact that connects to the switch the voltage drop disappeared. Here's a link to the vid at the point where he shows what he did to fix the voltage drop ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y9tT8-LNQmI.htmlm42s
NP, that top AF is great on a squonk. When you build it, it's logical with top AF to build right under the AF, but the rabbit is actually better built straight up above the posts. The wicks go a bit long, but the way it feeds on squonk is perfect. The drop would have been more logical IMO for a squonk if the bottom holes closed first instead of the line of top AF. It's nice that the pin is raised but ehh, that's why I wish the bottom holes closed first. Try them both and let me know what you think, very curious, thanks!
I got the Athena and love it with the Geekvape Radar RS/DA that came with the GV Gbox 200. Works out good for me and is a lot more pocket friendly than the bigger regulated Gbox lol wouldn't recommend Gbox
THE 528 CUSTOMS DRIP TECH AND VAPEAMP RIG MOD SQOUNK HIT BETTER, BUT THE ATHENA CAN HANG WITH THE RIG! THE PULSE IS GREAT TO HAVE FOR RUNNING ANOTHER FLAVOR.
have to say i use dead rabbit rda on athena and i use the camo hugo vapor squeezer bf to and hugo button is better by far and the hugo fires up faster and hits better than athena
It isn't regulated, it's in some people's opinion not fully mechanical due to there being one thick wire inside it. Personally I don't care someone checked for voltage drop compared to others there wasn't any. A regulated mod limits what you can use, like a VW/VV device.
Yeah you can't always expect the best from Wotofo, I know it says Sentorian or what ever it is, it is still a Wotofo product. At the same time allot of people do allot more then one dab of soder to get squonkers to work right when they are cheap. Check out Fasttech.com and look at the threads on some of the cheap squonkers. Replacement bottles, 510's all sorts of stuff. So in the long run for a resin squonker w 3 bottles, it's not a bad deal really, (depending on if you search for the best price) all things considered... Don't drop it though, I saw a pic of one that was shattered. Here is a link to a damn nice single battery squonker for 15.00 www.efun.top/kangertech-dripbox-start-kit.html I have had 2 since they came out, built them low as hell, finally the first one died, got another cheap as chips as they say... From this site, without a doubt authentic. Oh and it actually has a five click off button.
Hey heads up do you know they are coming out with a Ijoy regulated squonker 100W, and also coming out with a Fuchi 213 150W regulated? Both with TC if your into that, I am not. Cool stuff though, great time to be a squonker. If you go to ecig-city.com you can also by the Wraith for 29.99! It's in the sale section at the bottom. I have one, it's not bad at all (not amazing but worth 30 bucks)... I like mech's but I do love regulated too. Just don't always like the straight off the battery and having to build for mechs, especially in single battery... Wow this really seems like I am trying to get you not to buy the Aleader xdrip huh? Man get what ever you want as long as you are not smoking then fantastic.... The Aleader xdrip is pretty sweet from what I have seen, if you go that route, please let me know what you think of it, I would really appreciate some feedback from a non reviewer on it. Nothing against reviewers just you know it's good to get all angles. Have a good one!
I have not received my Athena in the mail still waiting. I had a hard time choosing the Athena over the pulse, the Athena won. I am anxious to receive it. Thanks for the videos.
