ADVKEN NOTCH RDA Atomizer Review
After launching the finished-coil Manta RTA, ADVKEN recently released an RDA called NOTCH. Judging from the name, it is clearly not a new member of the Manta family, but the start of a brand-new series. It is ADVKEN’s gift to users who love massive vapor
After launching the Devil Fish RTA, ADVKEN recently released a new RDA called NOTCH. From the name, it is clear that it is not a new member of the Devil Fish family, but rather a brand new series, a gift from ADVKEN to all fans of big clouds.
Without further ado, let's get straight to the point. The NOTCH comes in ADVKEN's classic square paper box packaging:
Inside the ADVKEN NOTCH packaging, you will find:
NOTCH atomizer ×1
Tool kit ×1
Wiping cloth ×1
ADVKEN VAPING&SHARE card ×1
The NOTCH is paired with an 810 resin drip tip, which feels very comfortable in the mouth, and the vaping experience is very good. The top cap features a knurled design that increases the overall heat dissipation area of the cover, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the NOTCH.
The electrode connector uses a standard 510 interface, and the tool kit also includes a bottom fill screw, which can be used with bottom fill devices after replacement.
The NOTCH's cover is divided into two parts, utilizing a mixed airflow design. The six symmetrical airflow holes at the bottom (three on each side) and the similarly symmetrical airflow holes on the side of the atomizer form NOTCH's multi-dimensional airflow system.
During use, I tested three airflow combinations of the NOTCH RDA:
1. Open bottom airflow, open side airflow
2. Open bottom airflow, close side airflow
3. Close bottom airflow, open side airflow
There is actually a fourth option, but it's better not to try it; don't ask me how I know.
4. Close bottom airflow, close side airflow (this method is not recommended for safety reasons).
These airflow combinations can basically meet the needs of most e-liquids, but when using a mesh coil, using only the bottom airflow can increase the temperature of the vapor, making it a bit hot (ignore this if you're from the north). I initially thought that using both bottom and side airflow would result in a hollow taste, but upon using it, I found that due to the large size of the mesh coil, it occupies a significant volume, and the internal structure of the atomizer does a great job of compressing the vapor, so the overall taste does not feel empty. When switching to a different heating wire (such as a clapton wire), using full airflow can still provide a good taste experience without feeling hollow.
It is precisely because the NOTCH has both bottom and side airflow modes that it excels in various aspects such as vapor density and e-liquid flavor clarity. The NOTCH RDA is compatible with both pre-made mesh coils and traditional heating wires, reducing the difficulty of use. In a way, it also lowers the entry barrier for big cloud vaping, making it easy for both beginners and experienced users to get started.
I believe that under the "halo" of ADVKEN's big clouds, the NOTCH RDA will surely become a standout among big cloud atomizers. Let's wait and see!
