Hey All,
The folks over at CoilArt recently reached out to me asking if I would be interested in reviewing a couple new products that they have just released. This is the first of the two.
CoilArt has quickly made a name for themselves in the industry. You've seen the Mage series, the AzeRoth series and a few other atomizers from CoilArt. CoilArt also offers both pre-made and hand made coils and now also have added the mage box and mage mech. The products are all designed in California and manufactured in China. I think that in respect to quality, CoilArt is offering up some really high qualty items for a very reasonable price.
This review is focused around the new AzeRoth RTA .It's nice to see that companies are still pushing out RTA's even though it seems like RDTA's have taken over the scene lately. Along with the RTA, CoilArt was nice enough to send over a small vial of hand-made coils. For this review I chose to use the hand made Alien Clapton coils.
I have been using the tank for well over a week now and I can honestly say, and have said to many people, this RTA is probably the best I have used in recent memory. The flavor and vapor production is incredible.The flavor, to be honest, is considerably better than some of the RDA's that I regularly use. I know you guys are going to love this little gem!

Packaging
The AzeRoth comes very nicely packaged in a jewelry style gift box. The box has a sleeve over it that has an enlarged photo of the AzeRoth as well as the Coil Art logo. Once you remove the sleeve you get to the box, which is just a black box with the CoilArt logo dead center. Inside the box the tank is set in a foam cutout, sitting alongside the tank in their own cutout slots is the secondary, velocity style deck, a smaller top cap, spare glass and spare o-rings and screws. Underneath the foam cutout is the circular instruction card that just shows a bit of information on using the tank. Everything was packaged in there nice and tightly.
First Impressions
I can say, the first second I had this in my hand I was thrilled. The weight and feel to the tank is excellent. The 510 threads look very clean and no metal burrs are left after the machining process. I immediately disassembled the tank. The threading on the top cap is so smooth. I really get the feel of durability and strength when threading this cap on and off, it just threads so smooth and has no play at all. When I checked for smell and feel of leftover machining oil, I turned up absolutely nothing. I felt comfortable enough to use this straight out of the box. Overall my first impressions of this RTA is that some good thought was put forward when designing it, the triple coil deck really sets it apart from just the basic RTA's out there. I feel that a certain level of originality and innovation goes a long way when designing and releasing products that are already plentiful on the market. One side note, I did not realize this until after I put my first build in, the deck was not fully threaded onto the airflow section, nor was the 510 pin fully screwed in. This caused an annoying shorting issue that took me a little while to figure out. Once I found the problem and fixed it, it ran like a champ.
The Finer Details
Ok, so the AzeRoth RTA is a 24mm, 4.5ml capacity rebuildable tank. When I first saw it, I immediately thought back to the Troll RTA and the Sapor RTA. Both of those tanks boast a decent liquid capacity while also remaining relatively low profile. The AzeRoth also fits the low profile, mid-range capacity category. For most folks, 4.5ml is likely enough to get them through the day with minimal refill time. The AzeRoth also comes equipped with a vicious looking 3 coil postless build deck. One set of the holes is milled into the deck while the other set is milled into the removable deck piece. These holes are large enough to fit a 3 core set of aliens, with a tiny bit of room to spare. It was a little tricky figuring out how to build on this deck at first but after staring at it for an hour I got it all built and ready to go. The leads on the coils need to be trimmed extremely short, without going too short and having the coil rest on the deck and cause a short. Also included with the tank is a velocity style build deck. So the option of either dual or triple coils gives this tank an edge over the rest that is out there, in my opinion. The version that I received came with a black finish, also available in stainless steel for those who prefer the raw steel look. The drip tip on this tank is of a fair size, it also comes with a 510 drip tip,which is attached directly to the threaded top cap so you actually have to thread off the wide bore top cap to get the 510 on there. Without diving into too much detail lets take a look at the AzeRoth section by section.
Breakdown
The AzeRoth breaks down into 4 pieces, 5 if you remove the deck from the airflow section. The top cap threads off to reveal some nicely sized kidney style juice fill ports These ports are more than large enough to fit any size point in there. I could easily fit the entire dropper from a glass bottle in there to fill. It only took me 4 or 5 full droppers to fill the tank. Gripping the top of the tank with the cap off, the deck section smoothly unthreads from the deck section. From there you can gently push up on the chimney to separate it from the glass to cleaning purposes. Now you have the build deck, it came with the triple coil deck pre-installed, I was planning on using that one anyway. You can give the deck a twist by holding onto the airflow section and gently starting to rotate. The deck section will spin right off and from there you can either put that same one back on or go with the velocity style deck if that is your preference
The Deck
Ok, so this is easily the highlight of the whole tank. I have never seen anything like it since I started vaping and honestly, I was a skeptic at first. I figured that it would make for a small and cramped build space. I was really hesitant to throw the alien coils on there as I did not think it would go in without shorting on the side walls of the chimney. Well, I was wrong. I think what really makes this deck work so well is the fact that it's postless. For that alone, it leaves more than enough room to fit a 3mm set of coils in there with room to spare. I just leaned all the coils toward the center of the deck until I felt they were even and lined up. The tricky part to this deck, which I will cover later, is the wicking. Not because it has to be perfect or just so, it just requires a certain technique so that you get the best performance out of it. Like I said above, the holes in the deck are big enough to fit fused captons, staggered claptons and other mid-sized builds. One thing that I found to be important was to make sure that the leads on all your coils are clipped to the same length, This helps in getting them to sit at the same height when positioning. The leads are cut considerably short for this tank, be careful though, cut them too short and they will sit very close to the deck, possibly even touch, causing a short.
The secondary deck that comes with this tank is velocity style. I am not going to dive into the specifics of a velocity style deck, it has been the most common and widely used deck for the past year and a half.Anyone who uses rebuildable atomizers has used a velocity deck and personally, while I enjoy them. I am no longer crazy about them.
The Airflow
As you may imagine, with a triple coil deck, the airflow on this is huge. This RTA, honestly, has more airflow than my current daily use RDA. The airflow holes sit right in between the posts all around the deck. The outer ring can adjust down to full close, offering the user a wide range of airflow adjustment. I personally love having this tank full open, it allows me to run it at a fairly high wattage without the vapor getting overly warm. There are 3 airflow holes each falling in between a coil. At half close, it gives a nice slightly restricted hit and at 3/4 close it draws it in that much tighter. Overall, I am impressed with the airflow capabilities on the AzeRoth, I guess it is expected with the 3 coil deck. Either way, I love it!.
Build Tips
Once you get your hands on the AzeRoth, there really only a couple things to work out. Clipping the leads to the right length without going too short. When I initially did this. I just made a 10 wrap 24g coil and used that as my template for clipping the leads on the alien wire. I had to clip it a few times to get it to the right length, once that was done I just lined the leads up with the alien wire and clipped them off. I imagine as you get used to this tank, that trick will become something you will just have the feel for.
Secondly, the wicking. There is a fair amount of play here when it comes to wicking. The spot where you stuff your cotton is fairly large but with a 3mm coil it leaves the ends fairly fluffy and too bulky. The ends of the wicks on all three coils meet with the wick on the other side of it. Together, it is too much cotton to jam in there.I took and cut each pair of wick ends so that combined, they were about the same size as one wick. This allowed me to stuff it in the slot and still have plenty of room to allow proper wicking. I did not encounter leaks of any sorts the whole time I was using the tank.
Pros
Low Profile
Good juice capacity
Solid Construction
Deck options, both decks included
More than adequate airflow
Easy to build on
Cons
- Non-adjustable 510 pin(minior)
Final Conclusion
As you can see above, there really is not much bad to say about this tank aside from a non-adjustable 510, which is just me being picky. I did not mention that above so I am just tossing it in here.Overall, I loved this tank every minute that I was using it. It produces some fantastic flavor and vapor, better than some of the RDA's that I use on a regular basis. I did find that the few times that I wicked it, the amount of cotton that you stuff into the holes plays a bit of a role in the wetness and density of the vapor, so keep that in mind when you are working with it. I have been on a search for a while for great RTA's that produce dripper like flavor,while I have found a few that make the grade, this is by far the best I have tried yet. The construction of the AzeRoth is about as good as it gets. CoilArt has done an amazing job putting this together and releasing something a slight bit different, with a nice edge to it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has a love for RTA's. This will for sure make it into my regular atomizer rotation!
Cheers everyone! Thanks for stopping by and reading my thoughts on the AzeRoth RTA! Stay tuned for another CoilArt review in the near future.
