Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i have a look at the Mutant RDA from Vandyvape. The Mutant RDA was supplied for the purpose of this review by Ariel from Vandyvape.

Introduction
The Mutant RDA is a collaboration between Vandyvape and Vaping with Twisted420 and is a 25mm in diameter short RDA made with squonking in mind but also comes with a standard pin. The Mutant features a unique deck for the easy installation of dual vertical coils, 4 different dual airflow options and a BF extension tube which allows e-liquid to enter the deck through the top and bottom of the extension then allowing the access to be sucked back from the bottom back into the bottle. I feel their is some genuine innovation on show with the Mutant RDA so well worth a good look!

I received the Mutant RDA in sample packaging and once opened i found i had received the Stainless steel version. The Mutant is available in 4 different colours which are Matte Black, Gun-Metal, Stainless Steel and Rainbow, all versions come with a Goon fitting 810 Resin drip tip.
The Mutant is a short RDA and lower section has "MUTANT" printed in bold lettering, this lower section is the lower section of the ring that has all the different airflow options, the upper section has the outer sleeve fitted over it. The outer sleeve is indented from the lower section with the top of the sleeve having a protruding textured band for adjustment grip. We have dual rectangle cutouts positioned vertically for airflow adjustment, mine came with the airflow cutouts lined up with the 4 rows of 3 honeycomb airflow option. The top of the RDA tapers then steps to the Resin 810 tapered drip tip which in my opinion looks the part up top. The base has etched branding and safety marks, we have a Gold plated BF pin pre-installed.

The Mutant's Various Parts
The Mutant RDA comprises of tapered 810 Goon fitting Resin drip tip, you also receive a 510 adaptor so you can fit your own 810 or 510 if you wish. We then have the outer sleeve with dual rectangular airflow cutouts which get lined up with which one of the 4 airflow options you prefer. We then have the inner airflow ring which has 2 sets of 4 different airflow options, this section fits over the deck where we have 2 protruding notches to lock in place, it sits on a shelve that perimeters the very bottom of the deck section and is sealed with dual o-rings.
On the outer of the airflow ring we have an o-ring both top and bottom to secure the outer sleeve allowing it to move with nice tolerance and not being too loose. We then have the deck section which comes pre-installed with BF-pin and BF extension pipe, also included is a standard pin. You also receive 2 Allen keys, spare screws and o-rings and 3 triple fused claptons with the following specs:
Material: Ni80
28ga*3 + 38ga
ID: 3.0
5 Wraps
0.39ohm

Top Filling and Bottom Juice Return BF System
The Mutant has a BF pin that has threads that protrude above the bottom of the deck. We then have an extension pipe which gets screwed over this threading so it's raised above where the top of the coils will be positioned. This extension has openings at both the top and bottom and has a ball-bearing inserted so when you squonk some liquid enters the deck via the bottom openings while the rest lifts the ball-bearing up to the top of the pipe where the rest of the liquid comes out the top, the ball-bearing then lowers encouraging any liquid which has reentered the pipe via the bottom openings back down the 510 into your bottle.

The Airflow
The Mutant has an airflow ring that fits over the deck, on the ring we have 2 sets of 4 different airflow's and a little cutout under each one. On the deck we have 2 protruding notches so you line up which airflow set you want with the coils and the notches will interlock with 2 of the cutouts locking it in place, it also secures over dual o-rings positioned on the outside of the deck and sits on the bottom ledge.
The outer sleeve fits over the airflow ring and has dual rectangular cutouts which you line up with the airflow you are using. The sleeve does secure over a top and bottom o-ring which is on the inner airflow ring which means it isn't loose but can be turned to adjust. Because the airflow ring is fixed in position when adjusting using the sleeve it does mean it becomes offset so the coils are not getting even coverage which limits the adjustment you can make before performance is effected.
The four different airflow options are:
4 rows of 3 holes honeycomb style
6 rows of 4 holes honeycomb style
Diagonal grill 5 slots getting longer towards the centre
Horizontal grill 5 slots getting longer towards the centre
