Reviewer comments on business characteristics

After Hadaly, the Kryten RDA by Psyclone which offers us the names evocative of an artificial intelligence in a robotics with human appearances, two original drippers of a new design. We knew the Hadaly, a 22mm dripper, simple coil fixed by clamps for the flavors of liquids, today more powerful, the Kryten.

This atomizer is a Dripper equipped with two large tanks with a capacity of about 1 ml, placed on a large diameter of 24 mm for a double coil fixed by offset clamps to facilitate assembly. From the first glance with a terribly large drip-top, it is obvious that this atomizer is made for the cloud, no doubt.

Psyclone is still as sober in straight and plain appearances in stainless steel but brings a little more frivolity by offering an optional top-cap Black Delrin (opaque black), Clear Acrylic (transparent) or Ultem (translucent orange yellow) and even the trip-tip and the drip-top in Ultem for a more chic finish.

The adjustable airflow is wide and for the pin, it is an adjustable screw via a flat screwdriver, but in the pack is delivered another pin pierced to replace the previous one in order to use the Kryten with a box BF (Bottom Feeder) .

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

The Kryten stainless steel, offers a good quality of machining, although some traces of tool are visible on the tank, the pads have a shape of "J" reversed, unusual for a fixation by double clamps. The PEEK insulation includes the positive pad in an "L" shape so that it is not in contact with the cap.

A well-worked product with studs that pinch the resistive in two separate places on each stud, to allow each tab of the resistors an individual location, but a double fixation by a screw that clamps two legs at the same time with this double clamp system .

The studs are located in the center of the atomizer and take up the entire width, leaving a small place in the middle that will allow the liquid to flow when using the BF pin. Otherwise at the connection, the pin is classic and adjustable via a screw. Around, are engraved the serial number with the name of the manufacturer and the dripper.

 

Aside from the 510 connection, no other threads are present on this product, just two seals positioned on the base to properly maintain the heading and ensure a good seal with two other seals for maintaining the top-cap.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

This atomizer is made primarily for the cloud.

The planned assembly is in double coil with a resistive worked or not since the place allows it. The air-holes open and close at the same time to provide the same airflow to the resistors and the airflow offers a large opening for good heat dissipation with its drip-top.

Thus, according to the assembly, this atomizer is able to cash without problems powers of more than 100W without burning your lips.

But it is also a dripper that knows how to be more classic with a double coil assembly associated with airs-holes set for the circumstance and drip-tip provided to confine the atomization chamber and concentrate more flavors, and harmoniously combine flavor and steam.

Another function, it is the BF pin which offers the opportunity to vaper on boxes of this type by changing the pin, by that which is pierced and delivered in the Pack.

 

Drip-Tip Features

  • Type of attachment of the drip-tip: Owner only
  • 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

Two proprietary drip tips are included in this pack. Both have an identical appearance, quite short, black and Delrin, straight form, they offer a comfortable fit in the mouth.

The drip-top has a huge opening since the internal space is 15mm in diameter, but it does not take less to dissipate a significant heat past the 100W and I must admit that it is doing its job very well.

The drip-tip, reduces a little air circulation with a more common diameter of 10mm which still remains adapted to the sub-ohm.

There is therefore no drip-tip adapter for this product because this would reduce the opening in the mouth too much with an 510 format which I think would not be appropriate.

 

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

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

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

The packaging is identical to that of Hadaly for this product and very original. In a round and wide plastic tube almost filled with foam, is housed above, the dripper, with a bag of accessories.
The packaging is nice but does not offer any information on the atomizer apart from the name of the manufacturer, that of the product and its diameter, no instructions are delivered.
The accessory bag is composed of:

- Numerous joints
- 2 screws
- 1 BF pin
- 1 single coil clamping support (clamp)

Packaging that is sufficient limit considering the price of the product.

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 4.4 / 5 4.4 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

Given the number of pieces (4 with the drip-top) on this product, it already limits the complexity of use. Nevertheless, mounting the resistive is not so simple. In any case, far from being complex, it requires an anticipation of the editing that you will affect it.

For a resistive, basic simple and round, opt for a wire section which allows to obtain a low value, so 0.5 or 0.6mm kanthal seems quite suitable to have a perfect tightening of the clamps, which maintains the resistances well. With diameters of 3 or 3,5mm the fixings are easy to do.

With a larger resistive, attention, although the assembly requires some clever handling, it will be necessary to anticipate the diameter of the coil so that it is not too close to the edge so as not to risk the short circuit, once you ask the top-cap. Because when you mount your resistors, they will not face each other, but slightly offset from the fixing of the pads. If your diameter is too large, on a flat resistive, worked, it will be almost impossible to shift your resistors to prevent the top-cap from touching the wire and thus bypass the assembly.

 

This is certainly the only difficulty of this Kryten.

Side vape, since it is planned for the cloud, let's go gaily, with a double fused for 0.26Ω more than 100W. Heeeeuu how to say ... I'm having fun, hat the little robot!

I have a huge production of vapor, it is not as hot as I expected and the dissipation is wonderful without having to feel the slightest heat on my lips. I would have thought that the coils too close to the walls would accentuate this feeling, but no. Psyclone did a good job with also a nice restitution of flavors with a liquid that is not burnt despite the power and temperature imposed.

 

For the consumption of this e-liquid, be generous, the robot needs to quench its thirst permanently.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

Psyclone offers us a dripper made for the cloud and can dispel very strong heat in double coil with resistives worked. Mounting can be simple and quick to do or more elaborate by taking a little time and especially by anticipating the diameter of the coil because the offset resistances limits some constructions.

This Kryten is very well made and the insulation between the poles, perfectly realized. The airflow adjusts simultaneously with the two air-holes which necessarily requires double mounting.

All with a result that I loved to offer 100W a large production of steam and the proposed compromise between the airflow and the place in the evaporation chamber, allows to obtain flavors sufficiently concentrated to be pleasant.

Fortunately, Psyclone thought of giving us a double tank which can contain up to 1ml of reserve and even a little more, but be careful with high power, the baby sucks a lot.

A little gem that made my happiness for this test.
