Hi All, Anthony Vapes back here with my review of Dovpo Blotto RTA. Please see bottom for disclaimers and links. Note this is not marked as a sample
Introduction:
The Dopvo Blotto RTA is the latest RTA from little known company Dovpo. I haven’t reviewed a ton of their products, but I did love their M VV mod a few years back, and their topside and topside dual squonk mods were also pretty good so overall solid company from my limited experience as of late. I also recently reviewed their D-salt pod kit and M VV II mod recently. This is my 1st rebuildable form them though as far as I can remember. The Blotto is a dual or single coil RTA for DTL vaping and is 25mm at the base with a postless deck and a 2 or 6ml capacity. It designed (well marketed) with popular youtube reviewer from down under the vaping bogan. It’s available in 3 colors Black, SS and Gunmetal and is available online around 30-40 bucks. Mostly out of china but i see vape royalty has it for 32 bucks in the US.

Initial Impressions and features
When I first got this RTA I was pretty happy to see it. Hasn’t been a lot of rebuildables being made and even at ECC nobody was really making them. Only been like 5 or 6 RTAs made this year really which would normally be a slow month in vaping and not a 9 month output. Outside of that though I like the looks and always like postless decks so pretty happy overall to see a new RTA hit the market. I also liked the 2ml straight glass option or a nice 6ml with the bubble glass.
Build Deck and Wicking (pics above)
Let’s talk about the build deck now. It’s a basic Postless deck. The post holes are nice and large to accommodate any wire type you’d use in this really. The post screws are nice quality flat head grub screws and they include a spare set of 4. I wish they had a hex option which are my favorite but this is flat head only. Still I can't complain. Just a preference thing. The screws come in from the side in a way that flat wires like fused claptons won’t be bent when installing. Since it is postless you do need to precut your leads. Sadly this RTA doesn't come with a coil lead cutting tool which has become the standard and the manual doesn't list a length either. Personally I found 5mm leads to be ideal. The build area is pretty small. If you go single coil there is plenty of room as well to fit a 4mm ID coil however as a dual coil RTA 3mm ID coils are as close as you can get without touching. 2.5mm ID would be better to give some room. I wish there was more space for dual coil builds personally. Overall it’s an excellent deck that’s easy to build on and one of my personal favorite types of decks, but may not be ideal for new builders because postless decks aren’t always the easiest to build on since you have to pre-cut your leads and they didn’t include a tool for pre-cutting.
Wicking on this one is super easy. It wicks pretty well so you don’t need to go super thin on your wicks. Just a normal amount. It’s slightly raised deck so kind of “GTA styles” so just drop your cotton through the precut holes to the bottom.
Performance
Performance wise, I used it as a single coil RTA and a dual coil RTA. I ran 5 builds in it. 1 single coil 4mm ID round wire build, 1 single coil 4mm ID fancy build, 1 dual coil fancy 3mm ID build, 1 dual coil fancy 2.5mm ID build, and 1 dual coil 3mm ID round wire build. As a dual coil RTA I found it overall lacking flavorwise compared to many of the good ones on the market now and even some older ones. It does perform ok for round wire builds though if you use round wire but even then it’s bested by many others already. Where I found it worked best is with a big fancy single coil build. Again still not as good as the 2017 RTA options or even the aromamizer lite of 2019, but still better than many of the 2018 single coil RTAs. it may not be the best, but it is one of the top options you can find now. So overall it’s lacking as a dual coiler but ok for round wire users, but really best as a single coiler with a big fancy single coil in it, I do like that it is versatile though.
