Introduction
The ex Head Designer at Geekvape who brought us the Zeus and Aegis has made quite an impact with his new company OXVA over it's first year manufacturing products. After a few excellent pod mods and AIO devices we see OXVA not limping but diving head first into the rebuildable scene with a beast of a dual RTA, the Arbiter!
The Arbiter with the bubble glass is 31mm in diameter and has a generous 6ml capacity. It features top to bottom leak resistant airflow, Bayonet fitting top-cap and an easy build deck! Coming in 5 different colour options let's check out OXVA's RTA debut!!!!!!!

Aesthetics
The Arbiter came in a sturdy cardboard box with outer cardboard sleeve and on opening in the upper tier we have the rather large Arbiter RTA with installed bubble glass with spare straight glass to one side, all other accessories are below. I received the Black version the options are Stainless Steel, Rainbow, Gunmetal, Red Black or Black.
Up top we have a low profile Delrin 810 which sits on a platform that steps from the top-cap which has a design which helps with grip. Below we have a broad airflow control ring with large dual cyclops and also 2 "OXVA" logos carved into the metal. Mine has Red O-rings which stand out but the retail will have Black, looking through the pre-installed bubble glass we can see a logo on one side of the chamber and "ARBITER" printed on the other. The base section is quite narrow but has aggressive carvings to give good grip then looking at the base we have more printed branding and safety marks, the 510 is Gold plated and protrudes nicely, i would have no issue with this being used on a mechanical device!
The diameter is 26.5mm at the very base but that's quite misleading as it tapers sharply to 28mm and is 31mm with the bubble glass fitted. The overall build quality is very good with both smooth threading and nice machining!

What You Receive?
As well as the RTA with installed Goon fitting 810 and pre-installed bubble glass you receive a straight glass and a special tool which is that special it's a secret to what it's actually for. I just can't work out what it does or how it is needed and see no mention of it either on their website or in the manual!
You also get a bag of goodies that include 2 sets of O-rings (I received an extra set of Red and a set of White), hex grub screws, a 510 drip tip adaptor and an Allen wrench. I have been informed with the retail version all O-rings will actually be Black both pre-installed and the spare sets.
Finally as well as the paperwork you receive 2 shoelace cotton pieces and 2 Fused Claptons with full specs. They are Ni80 28ga*3+40ga 3.0mmID 6 wraps, 0.4ohm per coil. For those that tend to toss included coils you definitely won't be tossing these, a very nice pair of Fused Claptons! Overall very happy with what is included so no complaints whatsoever!

It's Various Parts!
The Arbiter disassembles into it's various parts very easily and reassembles just as easily with no issues!
Up top we have a quite low profile goon fit 810 so you can use your own or even fit the included 510 adaptor if you prefer. The top cap has a bayonet fit so just a quarter of a turn to release and again a quarter turn to secure. The fill plate reveals 2 decent size ports and is concave so any spillage will still find its way through the ports. The fill plate is attached to the chamber section and airflow intakes which are dual large cyclops and we have an airflow control ring for full adjustment. The bubble glass is pre-installed and fits over the top O-ring quite loosely but i have been informed the Red O-rings have been replaced by more substantial Black O-rings so hopefully that isn't going to be a problem!
Inside the chamber we have an attachment that secures by a top O-ring and fits across the raised deck section. Finally we have the base section with raised GTA style U shaped deck and on the very bottom a Gold plated protruding 510.

The Airflow
The Arbiter has a top to bottom leak resistant airflow design which rather than the usual double chamber has a fitted attachment to create the voids to allow airflow to reach the deck!
We have dual cyclops with an airflow control ring and the air goes through these slots which comes out into the top of the chamber. The attachment fits to the chimney section at the top of the chamber and slots across the deck doing 2 things. First it gives a wall either side creating a void for the air to travel down from the cyclops slots between the chamber wall and the walls created by the attachment either side which then goes between the lower sections of the posts either side and then upwards giving true bottom airflow! The second thing it does is this attachment as far as your build is concerned becomes the inner chamber which is now very condensed. This means having two large voids for the air to travel down rather than a thin cavity as you would get with the usual outer and inner chamber will give a lot of airflow while the now condensed chamber area should encourage flavour!
