Reviewer comments on business characteristics

Chinese brands are on the rise. 

After Wismec and his quartet in order with the Presa 75TC, the two Reuleaux and the Noisy Cricket, here comes the turn of Geek Vape. Initially “simple” manufacturer of resistive wires and assembly accessories for atomizers, the brand struck a blow by releasing a Griffin Very good quality, double coil atomizer in low position as there are many but with exciting features and formidable efficiency. And we cannot forget either the Aeolus or the Tsunami, which constituted more than convincing “life-size” tests.

Today, Geek Vape amazes us again with a new atomizer, top-coil this time: the Avocado. An excellent surprise that we will be happy to dissect here for you.

It is therefore a boxing atomizer in the “flyweight” category of flavor chasers, like the Haze Tank or the Nectar Tank. You can install a double or a single coil as desired, adjust the airflow accordingly and benefit from 3ml of autonomy. The mounting possibilities are many and varied and we take advantage of the ease of a velocity type plate, even allowing the use of large diameters of resistive and hybrid wires such as Clapton or others.

Unlike the two references mentioned above, it costs 35.90 €. Without complexes and without ambiguity, he is therefore there to do battle with the crest of the category. So let's see what he has in his stomach.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

All stainless steel clad, the Avocado presents well.

Aesthetically first of all with a tasteful simplicity but also at the level of the high quality of execution. Slight chamfer on the top-cap to boost its line, correct thickness of material, both in terms of steel and pyrex, flawless finish, we are visibly on an atomizer worthy of the higher price category.

Add to this an adjustable gold-plated brass positive pin and a beautiful piece of ceramic (be careful with handling, it is fragile) to hide the unused plunge holes when using a single coil. It's not enough ?

Ok, so let's talk about the good quality screw threads, because the pressure screws of the resistive legs are perfectly suited to this use and do not cut the wire and an airflow ring very precisely held by a seal, neither too much until it becomes impossible to turn, nor not enough to turn on its own. 

Geek Vape Avocado Eclate

We already have an idea of ​​the level of realization of the object which, obviously, did not make any qualitative impasse for a price frankly vapoteur friendly. It is therefore with total confidence that I tackle the functional part of the Avocado which promises us some more nice surprises.

You will note however that the pyrex tank does not benefit from any particular protection. I therefore advise you, if you use the Avocado on the move, to wear a silicone ring to avoid accidents in the event of a fall.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

An ato top-coil is a simple design and also one of the oldest ways to vape. However, it is also a technology that advances and adapts to the demand of vapers. This appeared clearly with RTA atomizers (with tank) like the Change or the Origin Genesis then with the Haze Tank and the Nectar Tank. But there was still the possibility of innovating in the sector and Geek Vape did not deny it.

The board is the strategic piece. Here, it is equipped with a double-bridge velocity system. This first point makes it compatible with all types of resistive wires (2mm in diameter for each of the four locations) and increased ease of assembly. And we can say that the assembly on the Avocado is childish, whether in single or double coil. It is provided with four good size plunge holes used to place the capillary in the reservoir. The workspace is well proportioned and no obstacle hinders the placement of your coil (s).

Geek Vape Avocado Deck

A ceramic part, comprising two shutters to fill two plunge holes, serves to condemn the unusual part in the event of a single coil assembly and at the same time acts as a chamber reducer. Each shutter is provided with a mini-seal which will be used to really ensure a tightness of the holes conducive to avoiding draft losses and therefore a good supply of the coil but also leaks in case of dangerous angle of use. But the interesting idea is to have provided this room with a central tunnel which allows, if you choose, to direct the airflow to your coil, not only from the front with the dedicated hole but also from behind with a second hole and the passage of air through the tunnel. And, as a result, it's more than convincing, it's magic.

Of course, for the most barbaric, there are also two horizontal airholes 7x2mm that will make your atomizer terribly aerial. But always tasty.

So, if we summarize, we have these airflow possibilities:

  1. A simple 2mm airhole placed in front of the single-coil resistance.
  2. Two 2mm airholes placed in front of and behind the single-coil resistance.
  3. An airhole of 7x2mm (adjustable) placed in front of the resistance in single-coil.
  4. Two 7x2mm airholes (adjustable) placed in front of and behind the resistance (but sending only a 2mm flow from the rear thanks or because of the dedicated tunnel of the ceramic part).
  5. Two 2mm airholes for a double coil assembly, each of them benefiting the resistance from the front.
  6. Two 7x2mm airholes (always adjustable) in front of each double-coil resistance.

Get your Clapton ready, bring out your biggest resistives, the Avocado isn't even scared and expect cloudy skies!

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

I was waiting for a dead end or awkwardness in the drip-tip to let go of my natural nastiness. It missed ! 

We don't have one but two drip-tips. A proprietary drip-tip to screw in delrin, with an internal diameter of 9.55mm, very good quality because it is very thick. Then a steel 510 drip-tip that can be mounted using the adapter piece provided, to be screwed in place of the owner's drip-tip. This drip-tip is also very well made. Small, equipped with two seals and very pleasant on the palate.

Carton full, so.

Vapelier's note on packaging: 2 / 5 2 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

The packaging is simple but complete in terms of the accessories provided. 

A pretty black cardboard box camouflages a two-stage system. At the first, you will find your atomizer, the spare drip-tip, the 510 adapter, a piece of ceramic in case of breakage of the first and an additional pyrex tank, frosted this one (which also gives you an aesthetic choice ).

Geek Vape Avocado Package

In the basement, by removing the dense foam that protects everything very well, you will find a bag of spare gaskets, including two green to customize your ato, BTR screws in case you lose those of the velocity as well as a key of the same species to make your edits.

We can, and we must, regret the total absence of instructions which is a big obstacle to the use of this atomizer by a beginner in reconstructable while precisely its ease of assembly also intends it for this public. Too bad, it's the only real downside that I note both in the packaging and in the whole of this column.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

Simple coil, double coil, quad coil if you wish, the Avocado can do it all. And with what talent! 

It's amazing what this little atomizer has in its belly. He excels in developing flavors, but he never balks at sending clouds to make a sub-ohm clearo green with envy. Including in single coil thanks in particular to its multiple possibilities of airflow adjustment.

I first mounted it in double coil and I found there this typical heat, this power which only asks to be expressed and I never felt the slightest difficulty of the system to feed the coils, even at high power. Using Fiber Freaks D2 it's heaven. The passage of the capillary does not pose any problem and I remain convinced that there is still a way to do better by the use of mesh as conductors of juice and of cotton placed on the receiver plate to supply the coil. In fact, a lot of mounting possibilities are offered by this jewel.

Then, I mounted it in single coil, simply, in the old way and there, I found all the realism in the restitution of flavors that this assembly allows. I stuck Boba's Bounty in the tank, a very syrupy e-liquid in 100% VG, I waited a few minutes for everything to start for the best. Then, I greedily sucked in a cloud of total happiness! By using the presence of the two antagonistic airholes, the precise and complex flavor of the juice is preserved while generating very high density clouds. At 25W, not a dry-hit. At 30W, it starts to heat up a bit but it holds. And…. I was not higher because it was perfect like that. 😀

Flavor, vapor. The two breasts of the good vape! The Avocado does more than keep paper promises, it sublimates them in the best way possible, with an incredible genius of versatility and total humility of price.

In return, because there is always a consideration, he consumes a lot of juice. I will therefore only use it in the evening, when the mind is at rest, to enjoy a real moment of happiness at 3ml of juice per hour of vape 😯. A normal dripper consumption for an ato which is above all a dripper equipped with a tank. Of course, I bought it because you can't miss an atomizer of this quality when you come across one, especially at this price!

A little advice for those who, like me, have suffered from a great sense of awkwardness when distributing the tares: to remove the ceramic piece without breaking or chipping it, just insert a small screwdriver in the air tunnel located in the center and pull gently and you will have no problem.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

Small. Discreet. Well thought. Well done. Tasty. Cloudy. Cheap. Full. Versatile. And then also tasty and tasty and tasty.

Faced with such a debauchery of such antagonistic talents, we can only admit that vaping is an extraordinary thing that still reserves us for a long time very beautiful surprises. The traditional High-end has a lot to worry about if other atomizers of this quality / price ratio appear on the market. But it is the law of the genre, an economic law. A law which wants that between a Presa 75W or an Evic VTC Mini and an Avocado, I want a set-up to well under 100 € which holds the high dragee to many more posh set-ups in term not only of quality of vape but also of build quality.

Good for vapers. The vape is always on the move. She's getting better, still. It surprises us and captivates us. And against this feeling, TPD or not, there is nothing we can do.
