Reviewer comments on business characteristics

At Vapelier, we got to know Ijoy with the Acme clearomizers which were correct but could be improved. Since then, the Chinese firm has developed several other products which remain little distributed in France. To keep up with the big market trend, Ijoy is launching its reconstructable RDTA atomizer.

In the footsteps of Aromamizer, Griffin or other Obs, the Tornado raises the sauce since it displays the possibility of supporting 300W and up to 6 coils with an optional tray.

Wary of this type of bidding, let's see if the claims of this new disaster (yes, we like natural disasters in vaping: Tsunami, Volcano…) are not only Gallic bragging.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

Ijoy products are entry and mid-range products. The design is a mix of what already exists: Moonshot, Griffin, Obs, it lacks a little character or rather personality and, personally, I will not tell you that this design won me over.

With a diameter of 24mm and a length of 58,6mm, the Tornado does not go into detail. The dimensions benefit the tank which contains 5ml, but not only. The plate also benefits from this diameter since it reaches 17,8mm, we also note that this plate, Velocity type, is not integral with the base. The two studs are pierced with four holes of a good diameter to easily accommodate large section wires.

Tornado exploded view
The bell of the chimney is, therefore also, of a good size so no problem of space even with very large diameter coils. It has two diametrically opposed engravings: on one side the name Tornado, on the other a small drawing of a tornado. And, of course, four large holes for the juice supply.

The materials and the machining are in line with the price. It is not the best but it is very correct. The seals, especially the ones on the tank, seem to me just fine. I emphasize that the coil retaining screws are very hard to unscrew the first time.

The delrin drip-tip crowns the ato. Its beautiful internal diameter, combined with that of the chimney, allows you to see the coils.

A correct product in terms of quality, not the absolute favorite, but it is not bad.

  • Minimum diameter in mms of the air regulation possible: 0.1
  • Air regulation positioning: Lateral positioning and benefiting resistors
  • Atomization chamber type: Bell type
  • Heat dissipation of the product: Low

Reviewer's comments on functional features

The Tornado therefore offers a large plate made to accommodate not two but four resistors, using the famous Velocity system. There is no major difficulty of assembly for an informed vapoteur, used to multi-coil.

Tornado deck
An optional tray offers to accommodate 6 coils. If the airflow is efficient and perfectly adapted to the vape, the atomizer quickly becomes very hot.

Tornado Air flow
Top filling is easy. A large ring marked with an open padlock and a closed one is rotated. Then, we will pull it upwards to reveal the good size orifice intended to refuel, located on the side of the top-cap.

An RDTA that seems cut for cloudy performance.

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 present drip-tip: Good

Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip

The drip-tip is in delrin. It has a large diameter in relation to the imposing diameter of the chimney. An 510 adapter is provided, although I cannot see a 510 drip-tip suitable for the vape suggested by this atomizer.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

A transparent plastic box, like the one found in most Chinese manufacturers. A cardboard sleeve with a nice tornado as the central character, it's fun and nice.

Where the shoe pinches is the lack of instructions. Even if the ato is aimed at experienced vapers, we could still find a notice. It would not only be nice but legal ...

Appreciations in use

  • Transport facilities with the mod of the test configuration: Ok for an external jacket pocket (no deformations)
  • Disassembly and cleaning facilities: Easy but requires a workspace
  • Filling facilities: Easy, even standing in the street
  • Easy to change coils: Easy but requires emptying the atomizer
  • Is it possible to use this product throughout the day with several E-Juice vials? Yes perfectly
  • Have there been any leaks after a day of use? Yes
  • In the event of leaks during the tests, descriptions of the situations in which they occur:
  • On this Tornado, there was no system to block the arrival of juice, so each time I was filled, I had the right to leaks. In double coil, they were substantial and, in quadruple, more reduced. No problem, I am used to the fact, I have often had problems with atomizers, a little capricious in terms of the cotton dosage and I have 20% in the dry cleaning ...

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 3.3 / 5 3.3 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

The assembly is not difficult in itself but the plate is sometimes a little tricky to release from the bell. The dosage of cotton is a bit more demanding as you have read above.

The capacity of 5ml is correct but, in quadruple coil, it does not weigh heavy, just like your batteries which, too, will not hold long. The Tornado is a big consumer.

Tornado filling
The cleaning is done without worry since everything is disassembled. In terms of size, if it is not the smallest, it is not a monster either.

The vape is airy and the restitution of the aromas quite correct.

For me, this atomizer is functional, although some points seem perfectible.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

With his Tornado, Ijoy delivers his trendy RDTA atomizer.

Its main feature is its wide platform designed for the most exotic quadruple coil assemblies. Optionally, the more adventurous will even be able to acquire a board accepting 6 coils.

Of an average build quality, the Tornado remains honest in terms of quality / price ratio. The overall design has more annoying flaws. Indeed, I experienced some leaks when filling and the cotton is a little tricky to dose and position.

This atomizer is a kind of dragster. It sends heavy but it is not very comfortable and its consumes a maximum, both in terms of liquid and in terms of energy.

In short, for me, it's a nice gadget for cloud-chasing lovers who can have fun for a reasonable price. No chance, in my opinion, of making it an atomizer for everyday life, that is not its vocation. It is made for extreme performance and is therefore intended for the most informed vapers.

And, to answer the question about 300W, I don't have such a powerful box and, in quadruple coil, I stopped at 100W. He collects them without flinching but watch your fingers because it quickly becomes hot. At 300W, you can probably use it to light you up at night ...

On this, good vape
