BSKR MINI V3 MTL RTA (simple version) REVIEWED BY BIGBOB2322

[bigbob2322]

Hello folks and welcome back for today's review of the Bskr Mini V3 MTL RTA manufactured by Vandy Vape in the simple version. You are probably wondering what is different with the simple version compared to the full sized one, in a nutshell the difference is that the simple version only comes with 1 juice flow ring and it's the larger one of the 3 that come with the full sized version, plus the 1.4mm airflow tube is absent as well as the chess pawn drip tip but you still get 2 in the simple version. Although the juice flow ring included in the simple kit will work just fine with builds of 1Ω and under builds such as 1.2Ω or more might benefit with the smaller openings of the other two juice flow rings supplied with the full kit. Instead of adjustable airflow this atomizer uses airflow pins that can be changed on the fly without disturbing your build or taking the RTA apart because these airflow pins install from the bottom of the base and act as the 510 pin. After some information from Vandy Vape about this atomizer including the Chess Pawn drip tip and other juice flow controls contained it the full version I'll give you my findings on the simple version.

FIRST IMPRESSIONS


Starting off with packaging for this RTA I think Vandy Vape did a nice job having the major components tucked in their own spot with the spares bag, airflow pins, two 0.74Ω fused MTL Clapton coils, Allen driver for the grub screws, barrel extension, owners manual and quality certificate underneath.

I was sent the Gold color version and although I don't have any mods in Gold I do have one with Gold accents that should match this nicely, you'll see later on. There is a lot of bang for your buck with this atomizer having 3 tank options, ( 2ml glass, 4ml glass and a 4ml solid metal tube ).

This atomizer uses airflow pins instead of a manual adjustment method which makes sense because once you find the airflow setting you like there's no need for further adjustments. What's nice with this airflow pin system is that you can if you wish to switch out airflow pins on the fly without disturbing your build because the airflow pin acts as the 510 pin also.

The atomizer ships with the 2ml glass attached and the 1.2mm airflow pin installed, you get a total of 5 airflow pins in this simple version, the 1.4mm airflow pin is not included. If you want to increase juice capacity to 4mm using the glass or solid metal tube you will have to use the extension piece.

Breaking the atomizer down for a full cleaning which I do on every new atomizer in case any machine oils are still present is a very easy process, there are many O-Rings on this RTA so I recommend you to clean it in a colander to catch a loose O-Ring preventing it from going down the drain.

As I mentioned earlier the simple version comes with only 1 juice flow control ring instead of 3 in the full kit, included is the large size which I've had zero issues with. If your builds are 1Ω or lower you will be fine using the large one but if your builds are say 1.2Ω or higher you might want to get the full version with smaller juice flow openings. The Pawn chess piece drip tip is absent as well. The 2 included drip tips screw into a Gold drip tip base, you can use your own drip tips as well.

You really get a lot of value with this atomizer and having the option of 2ml or 4ml capacity is great, a word of caution if your planning on taking off the shipped 2mm glass tube, it's a real PITA to take off and the O-Ring holding it to the base will go flying so be careful.

I like the appearance of the 2ml look being shorter but I would be always filling it so I went with the 4ml glass tube using the barrel extension and although it increases the height it fits my needs better. If you go with the solid metal tube you will have check and gauge your juice by taking off the top cap. The top cap is a quarter turn and the juice fill ports have a silicone membrane cover.

The only thing missing in this set is cotton which you will have to supply yourself. I used the provided 0.7Ω fused Clapton coil for testing and it has performed great, there's even a slight bend on the legs making for a easier to install the coil. This is a very easy to build and wick RTA, just remember to keep the cotton fluffy and don't pack it in the juice wells, you should not need to thin the cotton tails, you will need to take off the juice flow ring during the build.

What sets this RTA apart from other ones using airflow pins is just how easy it is to pop out the pins and pop in a new one after your build is finished. I took some pictures of the different tubes installed so you can see what each one will look like. My chosen set up is the 4ml glass tube.

PROS


* ATTRACTIVE

* GREAT VALUE

* GREAT FLAVOR

* EASY TO BUILD AND WICK

* SMOOTH AIRFLOW

* ABILITY TO CHANGE AIRFLOW PINS ON THE FLY


CONS



* TALL USING THE 4ML TUBES


FINAL IMPRESSIONS


I will cut to the chase right away folks and tell you that this is a winner of a RTA, not only is it easy to build and wick on it also produces great flavor. I have not had any issues as far as leaking or spit back either, I settled on the 1.6mm airflow tube and it's worked out great. With all that comes with it you will be hard pressed to find a better deal except for maybe the full sized version, for me this version is good enough.

I would like to thank Kavis and Sourcemore for providing it for the purpose of my review. I have a coupon code for you if purchased from Sourcemore and I'll post it down below.

Is it better than the og B3 mtl rta?

In my opinion it is better but not by a very large margin, I'm still using it in my personal rotation and it's still problem free with very good flavor.
