Reviewer comments on business characteristics

Vaporesso comes back hitting a big blow with the Gemini RTA. Designed in the United States and assembled in China, it allows the manufacturer to place his atomizer in the middle range. On the back, a scratch code is affixed to guarantee its authenticity.

Large mounting plate, an adjustable airflow at the bottom of the base AND on the top cap, which allows very good air circulation and to cool the top of the tank well in case of high power. On the mounting plate, there is a stud in the middle, but what is it for? We will see that below, as well as how it works.

It is a complete and efficient rebuildable, elegant and at a lower cost, and that, I BUY ^^

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

With a beautiful appearance, it is made of three materials:

• Stainless steel for the base, the chimney, the top cap 
• Pyrex for the tank.
• Delrin for wide drip-tip, 13,5 mm in diameter. Delrin also for the classic 510 drip-tip

A diameter of 22 mm for a height, excluding drip tip, of 51 mm and a weight of 60 grams. A very good quality of finish which will delight more than one.

Composed of six parts but this is not an obstacle, because the whole is very easy to assemble

Reviewer's comments on functional features

For the functions of the Gemini RTA, we will see that from the top down.

On the top, we find the top-cap, which, for the moment, is called top-airflow, why so? Because there is an air regulator, which has the function of making the ato more or less airy or to cool the rising vapor before having it in the mouth. Very efficient system for assemblies which will require a lot of heating.

By unscrewing the top-airflow, the filling will be done very easily thanks to the two huge openings present. However, remember to close the liquid inlets and the airflow of the base to avoid any risk of leakage.

At the bottom of the pyrex, the liquid inlets are clearly visible and adjustable, which allows you to switch from a fluid liquid to a fatty liquid without any problem, just by rotating the base to the desired opening.

On the base, there is a large velocity type mounting plate 16 mm in diameter by 8 mm high, which can accommodate two or four resistors. Air circulation takes place under the resistors and behind them thanks to the drilled tube which allows complete air flow in the atomization chamber. Suddenly, the production of steam and the restitution of flavors are increased.

The installation of the Fiber Freaks (or cotton) is also simplified. Indeed, on the perimeter of the tray, there is a removable ring which facilitates the placement of the cotton and which allows to position it well in the large inlets of liquid. Not too obvious at first, but once you get the hang of it, it's nice.

On the base, we find four air inlets 7 mm wide by 2 mm high, adjustable by simply rotating the ring which holds well in place. This will therefore not change when placing or removing your atomizer from a pocket or a bag.

And finally, under the base, there is the 510 connector with an adjustable gold-plated pin to make it flush with any kind of mechanical or electronic mode.

Drip-Tip Features

• Type of drip-tip attachment: Owner but passage to 510 through a supplied adapter
• Presence of a Drip-Tip? Yes, the vaper can immediately use the product
• Length and type of drip-tip present: Medium
• Quality of the drip-tip present: Very good

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

Supplied with two delrin drips, 1 13,5 mm wide to increase the air supply and a classic 510 drip tip which will require the installation of the 510 adapter supplied. Delrin is comfortable in the mouth, because it does not heat too much and avoids leaving lip deposits on it.

The two drip-tips, as well as the adapter, hold perfectly in place thanks to the two O-rings present and of very good quality.

Evaluation of the packaging

• Presence of a box accompanying the product: Yes
• Would you say that the packaging is up to the price of the product? Yes
• Presence of a user manual? Yes
• Is the manual understandable for a non-English speaker? Yes
• Does the manual explain ALL features? No

Vapelier's note on packaging: 4 / 5

Packaged in a rectangular plastic box, which is housed in a cardboard sleeve in the colors of the manufacturer.
Inside we will find:

• the atomizer
• a spare pyrex (for the more clumsy among us)
• a classic 510 drip-tip in delrin
• the 510 adapter
• a bag of spares (screws, seals)
• an 6 key

Appreciations in use

• Transport facilities with mod of test configuration: Ok for an inside jacket pocket (no deformations)
• Disassembly and cleaning facilities: Easy but requires a workspace
• Filling facilities: Easy, even standing in the street
• Easy to change resistors: Easy but requires a workspace to lose nothing
• Is it possible to use this product throughout the day with several vials of EJuice? Yes perfectly
• Was there leak after one day of use? No
• In the event of leaks during the tests, descriptions of the situations in which they occurred:

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 4 / 5

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

The Gemini is a reconstructable, pleasant to use.

Simplified filling as we could see above. A precise adjustable air flow thanks to the rotating ring that will not move inadvertently.

Modifiable liquid inlets, which allow the use in 50/50 or in max yd without worrying about leaks if the cotton is well dosed.

No need to put tons of it, when placing it in the channels, cut it into a point which will have the advantage of a good supply of e-liquid without obstructing the channels. For an optimal circulation of the liquid, it is better to make resistances on a diameter of 3mm.

Recommendations for use

• With which type of mod is it advisable to use this product? Electronics AND Mechanics
• Which mod model is it recommended to use this product with? any 22mm diameter mod
• With which type of EJuice is it advisable to use this product? All liquids without problem
• Description of the test configuration used: double clapton coil 0,55 ohms, fiber cotton blend D2
• Description of the ideal configuration with this product: double clapton coil, cotton and resistance value at your convenience

was the product liked by the reviewer: Yes

Overall average of the Vapelier for this product: 4.6 / 5

The mood ticket of the reviewer

This is how the Gemini review ends. It is rather intended for the informed vapoteur, because it is not possible to be able to put only one resistance. I am convinced by this atomizer and my close colleagues and vaping friends too.

I did not go higher than 120W during the test because it is not a vape that I appreciate, but it took the 120W very well, only the stainless steel parts were hot and the flavors necessarily diminished at such a power .

Too bad it has only 3,5 ml of capacity, because it is greedy, the bestiau ^^.

An assembly that suits him perfectly to conclude: clapton 24/32 ga in double coil, diameter 3 mm, 5 turns for a value of 0,34 ohms and let's go for top flavors and a round vapor in the mouth , very thick on expiration.

Good Fredo vape
