Good Morning ECF and happy Easter! Today I am reviewing for you the CoilArt DPRO 133 Kit. This kit should be considered as unregulated/protected and might be best suited for those wanting to take their first steps into building for mechs. So, is this for you? Read below to find out.
No Disclaimer is necessary as I purchased this kit on my own dime from CoilArt for $37.43 shipped. (thank you Black Friday sale!!)
I have had the DPRO 133 Kit for almost 3 months now and feel I can give a fair assessment of its quality.
On to the review.

DPRO 133
Impression/Performance
The CoilART DPRO 133 has been on the market for some time now. I purchased this item when it was released because I liked the looks of it and because I had heard such great things about the DPRO RDA. I wasn't really sure what to expect, but I got it for fairly cheap and the inclusion of the RDA really made it worth it.
Starting at the top of the mod, you have your 510 connection with a spring-loaded, gold plated center pin. 24mm attys fit nicely with no issues. You could probably sneak a 25 on there and be fine, but much larger than that and you're going to have some overhang issues. You also have a battery life indicator at the top: 4 LED lights indicating your battery percentage in stages of 25%.
On one side of the mod you have a large fire button with DPRO boldly written across it. The button is very clicky and quite loud. I mean, it's pretty damn loud. You will have no issues wondering if you actually activated it. The button also has quite a long throw on it. It depresses pretty far into the device, but I never had any issues with not being able to activate it. It's not as if there's an absurd amount of resistance on it. Aside from it being pretty loud, it's a really well functioning fire button.
The bottom of the mod houses your latch-style battery door. The latch system works extremely well and is probably one of the better ones I've used. There isn't an aweful amount of play in the door when you open it, and it's easy to get it open and closed. It is just a very well done battery door.
The mod iteself is made of aluminum and is extremely light weight, even with 2 batteries in it. Even thought it's so light, it doesn't really feel cheap. The mod seems to have been well constructed and is a pleasure to use.
The top and bottom of the device are black with the mid-section being the color you chose. My one gripe here is that the colors are a bit more pastel-y looking compared to many of the pictures I've seen online. The purple one I purchased almost looks pink, yet, depending on the light, will look a nice, deep shade of purple. I believe the blue one suffers from this as well, so it's just something to think about if you are looking at those two color options.
The mod itself performs really well (depending on your build, of course). I've had builds on it ranging from .11ohms - .22ohms. The higher range of that didn't get me the vape I really wanted. On the lower end, however, it was very nice and satisfied my style of vaping quite well.
Aside from that, there's really not to much too talk about with the looks and funtionality of this device except for battery and protection.
Batteries and Protections
I don't want to make this too long, but felt like this at least needed to be addressed because of the type of mod this is.
If you don't know, the mod itself is an unregulated, protected mod. When I say unregulated, I'm referring to the fact that there are no power or voltage adjustments. In that respect, it works similar to a mechanical mod; your build is going to determine how much power you'll be pulling from your battery. You also need to consider how charged your batteries are as power will drop the more your batteries are discharged. One more thing to consider is if you're not building low enough, you're not going to get an enjoyable vape.
The mod can be used either with a single battery or dual battery in parallel (with both positive sides of the batteries inserted into the mod). If you want to read more about series vs. parallel, you can do so HERE. In the case of the DPRO 133, you're essentially going to have longer battery life, but will need to make your builds lower to get an enjoyable vape.
Even though the mod performs similar to a mechanical mod, it does have protections built in, like short-circuit protection and reverse polarity protection. Beyond those, i'm not sure as I found it difficult to find any concrete specs on the other protections. This does not mean that you are completely safeguarded against any mishaps. You should always practice proper battery safety and know your build.
DPRO RDA
The DPRO RDA is a postless deck, dual or single coil atty with adjustable airflow. The airflow a bit restricted and is slightly angled downwards to help prevent any excess juice from easily seeping out. This is especially usefull if using the device in squonk mode.
The topcap is made of aluminum and has the CoilART logo embossed into the side. It comes with an 810 drip tip and is going to be able to accomodate all of your goon-styled 810s.
Building on the RDA is very easy, the one drawback being you will have to precut the leads of your wires. Aside from that, getting the coils seated is a cinch.
My main issue with this RDA is that there is hardly any juicewell. You really have to make sure you cut your wicks fairly short so you can cram them into the deck. This is not an atty for those prone to overdriping. Even though the airflow is slightly angled, the depth of the well will cause this device to leak if you're not careful with how much you drip/squonk.
The atty is also fairly short. This helps in the flavor department, but also has the downside of possible spitback. When I was talking before about watching how much you drip, it was a two-fold caution. Too much juice and you are bound to get some spitback. I can comfortably drip about 8-10 drops before spitback becomes an issue.
I know I sound like I'm ....ting on this atty, but it's actually one of my favorite RDAs. The flavor I get off of this thing is phenomenal! The restricted airflow and the height of the atty really help to produce a huge amount of flavor. Even with the drawbacks, it's an exceptional RDA.
