Hello Everyone and welcome to Pizza Dave’s Vape Reviews. Today I will be going over the Eco Pro RDA kit by Vapor Storm. The Eco pro kit features a small, lightweight, single 18650 mod, that has a max wattage of 80w. Oddly enough, it is paired with the Lion RDA, which I previously reviewed. This is a dual coil RDA, with a ton of air flow. This makes it an odd couple indeed. Let’s dive down, go over the mod, copy and paste in the lion rda section, and give you my final thoughts.

WHAT YOU GET
- Available in black, and a handful of printed colors that have some wild designs. Mine is the red and black rendition. It has a bunch of totally random words and images. It says, “I am the coolest” “Idea” “Mind Free” and other totally dumb crap throughout. I don’t like this design or the marketing behind saying something like that on a box mod.

MOD OVERVIEW
The mod is another one of those featherweight plastic devices that we are seeing many companies come out with. It has a rubbery texture, so it feels pretty decent in hand. Other bits and bobs include a magnetic battery door, a small LED display, and will fit up to a 24mm atomizer with no overhang. The buttons all have a good feel, and it is a rattle free device. I don’t mind the feel, form factor or overall build quality, but the 510 is a no go for me. It is deeply set into the top of the mod, so only a few threads of each atomizer I tried grab before it is bottomed out. A shorter 510 on an atomizers would make it unusable on this mod.
_____________________________________________________________________________________
OPERATION
The chipset on this device is a simple one. 5 clicks of the fire button will turn it on and off, flipping the screen orientation is done by holding the adjustment buttons simultaneously, and clicking the fire button 3 times will highlight the mode to be changed. Once highlighted, modes are cycled with the adjustment buttons and entered with the fire button.
POWER
TC Ni
TC Ti
TC SS
There are no curves, preheat, boosts, or any other additions to this device. Simple, and easy to use. The screen is small, but it is nice, bright, and clearly laid out.

HOW IT VAPES
Like I said in my intro, this came with the Lion RDA. This just isn’t a good pairing. I would never want to run a dual coil RDA on a single 18650, as the battery and power just isn’t there. I used it for testing a little, but for the most part, I used this mod with some MTL atomizers I had, as I felt that was a better match. With no boost chip, power greatly suffers as the battery is depleted. If feels like it puts out the power I wanted when the battery was full, but it just kept getting weaker and weaker, and was almost like using a mechanical mod with a dual coil rda on it. With MTL atomizers at 30w, this works just fine. I had the battery life to get through the work day, all while keeping a pocket friendly, lightweight, and compact setup. I lightly tested temp control in SS mode. It felt similar to the wattage mode in the fact that it produced warm vapor with full batteries but struggled to give the power needed to get the temp up. It also didn’t taper off as the cotton was bone dry, so I would basically say this has no temp control in my opinion.
The next portion here is a copy and past of my Lion RDA final thoughts and pros/cons as I have already reviewed it.

LION RDA SUMMARY
So, time to see how Vapor Storm’s first rebuildable is…. When I first got it, all I thought was “cheap, cheap cheap”. It feels cheap and looks cheap. I ended up with two of these (other one came in the ECO RDA kit being reviewed in a few weeks). The one I tested for this review has printed logos and feels lightweight and aluminum. The one that came with the Eco kit is heavier, probably SS, and has deeply etched logos and designs. Not sure why there is a difference when they share the same name, but it is what it is. Right away I went into this review feeling negative because it seems to dated and cheap, but I found that with the right build it can perform decently. Flavor is in the middle of the road. It isn’t amazing, but it doesn’t suck either, it just exists. It has some good things going for it. It is easy to build and wick. It comes with some nice drip tips, which are needed since the design itself is kind of bland. It does have some cons packed in there too. The air flow is turbulent, the fit and finish is very cheap, and there is NO SQUONK PIN. One thing I found with the standard 510 on this RDA, is that the positive pin doesn’t protrude past the peek insulator very far. I didn’t feel comfortable testing it on a hybrid mechanical mod due to this. SOOO, what else can I say about this one? I can see this one being a good fit for a new builder if it can be found for super cheap. However, there are some well-known RDAs that can be picked up for close to the same and they typically come with more spares and better fit and finish.
