Reviewer comments on business characteristics

Vaporshark we all know its boxes animated by the famous DNA from Evolv. Today the brand offers us an evolution of its dripper, the Vortice. As its name suggests, the peculiarity of the latter is at the level of the air flow.
This air flow system would seem to be a real asset to fully enjoy the flavor of your juices.
Vaporshark is always positioned on the high end and this dripper is no exception to the rule. I must admit that I am not a fan of the dry but the drawing of this tune flow intrigues me, so are you ready to follow me in the vortex?

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

This high-end dripper is of very good quality. The steel parts are perfectly machined and do not suffer from any noticeable defect. Very complete, the latter comes with many accessories:
- Drip top
- Top cap for 510 drip tip (even if not compatible with all my drip tips)
- 2 air holes sleeves, that are aquò? in fact, it is part of the body of the dripper which allows to adjust the air flow (a single coil and a double)
- One hollow positive pin screw for use on a bottom feeder

This complete pack helps to justify the price.
The body of the dripper is in two parts. A first thick tube hollowed out of several spiral channels, and another tube which fits on top of it, is pierced with one or two large windows depending on whether you are mounting a single or a double coil.
The base is screwed to the body, a seal at the base of the screw thread seals the tank.

The two pads are hyper accessible, they are provided with 2 mm holes which allow the use of resistive wire of good section. At the top, you will tighten the assemblies using high-quality Phillips-head screws.The insulation of the positive pole is provided by a plastic part, you will also find its double in the bag of spares that accompanies the Vortice . The edge of this base is ridged which makes it easy to unscrew the upper part of the atomizer.

The general design is nice, the wide openings of the body reveal the deep inclined grooves reminiscent of a worm. Light laser engravings embellish the whole, they represent two diametrically opposed vortices, and of course the name of the ato.
Overall a beautiful product, clean and well finished, only the top cap in Delrin which in principle allows the installation of a drip tip 510 is open to criticism because I have hardly found a compatible copy in my whole collection.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

You have probably understood this dripper is mounted in single or double coil. The plate is very accessible, so no worries to work comfortably, just be careful not to make a coil greater than 3 mm, and not to position them too high, otherwise your top cap will take a hit during strong heatings. This dripper is rather versatile even if it will not be the best for fans of cloud contest.
Managing the airflow is simple, but the O-rings holding the two body parts together are a bit stiff so rotation is not easy. Let's talk about this flow, that's where all the originality of the Vortice lies. Air is sucked through these spiral channels and forms a vortex in the atomization chamber. This system allows according to the creators of the concept, to amplify the flavors.

vortice vaporshark profile
The tank is used to store 0.5 ml, but note that this dripper is compatible with box bottom feeder thanks to the hollow positive positive pin.
In short, an easy-to-use atomizer, complete but to know if this vortex boosts the flavors we will have to wait a few more lines.

Drip-Tip Features

  • Type of drip-tip attachment: Owner but passage to 510 through an adapter not supplied
  • 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

No drip dip, but a decent Delrin drip top. A top cap in Delrin also allows (supposedly) to adapt 510 drip tips, as mentioned above, I did not find a compatible tip. So for me this is the only weak point of this product, I would have liked a steel top cap with its drip tip.

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? No

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

Vaporshark likes transparent plastic boxes. So it's very correct, it lacks a bit of charm, but it's functional. Moreover, as I have already pointed out, the package is very complete. Too bad once again that the information in this kit is not transcribed in French. At the same time it's a dripper so it's not very complicated to understand.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

What can I say, it's a dripper, so the principle is simple, a few drops on the cotton and let's go for a few puffs. For those who have a box bottom feeder go ahead it seems. Otherwise this atomizer is very compact, so it will be easy to carry, little risk of dirtying your pocket, the seal is very correct for a model of this kind.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

Vortice, just hearing the name I immediately made the connection with vortex. Indeed Vaporshark goes a little against the trend of ultra-aerial drippers made to produce gigantic clouds, and to be clever in the evening or on social networks (I'm not criticizing, I see).
The vortice has an original air flow which makes it possible to produce a vortex around the resistances and which in principle enhances the aromas. The bet is successful, indeed this dripper in addition to producing a still substantial vapor is distinguished by its precision. This little cyclone allows you to enjoy maximum flavor. The vapor is dense but light at the same time, the tastes are present, precise, but here no saturation, it is homogeneous at will.
It's Vaporshark, so high end, so relatively expensive. 79,90 € is a price, now it is in a certain average compared to the competitors on this range of products. For this price you will have a complete pack, an atomizer of very good quality, only the top cap in Delrin provided to adapt a drip tip is very perfectible.
I am not an absolute fan of drippers, but I really liked this Vortice, its look and especially its efficiency in restoring perfumes, gives it a place of choice in my top 10.
So don't hesitate, let yourself be carried away by this vaporous whirlwind and indulge yourself if your finances allow it, I think this Vortice can have a place of choice in your collection.

Thanks to Vaporshark

Good vape
