Ok people I've had this Hybrid now for a few weeks and you know what? I've barely used anything else since I got it. I got this from Andy and Kirstie at
Midlands Vaping it's called the Romuluz. It's a unique device that's superbly engineered and I've loved using it. Everywhere I've been this last few weeks it's been a conversation starter with both friends and complete strangers alike. Everyone seems to like it, so far it's converted a few people off the analogue cigerettes to Vaping so it's worth its weight in gold.
This device is weighty, not so much it's uncomfortable to use but enough so it gives that quality feel, it's made from 304 low carbon Stainless Steel which has taken a few knocks with no visible signs of damage, so if your like me and prone to dropping stuff occasionally then this is a good choice it seems really quite hardy. Here are the specs
- 22.56mm in Diameter
- 146.18mm in length without Drip Tip
- Pyrex Tank
- Dual 3.2mm wick holes
- Adjustable Air Flow
- 304 Stainless steel
- Silver Plated Copper Contacts
- Houses all 18 series batteries
- Is configurable for both Single and Dual wicks with 3.2mm wick holes
- Changeable Pyrex tank system for easy flavour changes
- Adjustable throw on the recessed switch
- Recessed bottom mounted firing switch
Team Hot wire Philippines are the people responsible for this stunning hybrid mod and they've done a fantastic job. It's well engineered, intelligently designed and vapes like a dream. The firing switch is quite unique in that the switch assembly threads into the bottom of the battery tube then has a separate housing that threads over the top of it.
The switch has four vent holes providing more than adequate airflow for your chosen battery. This device has an 18350 tube and two extension pieces to allow 18490/500 and 18650. This device has no locking ring, but to be fair I've not yet had this thing auto fire at all even when stuffed into a pocket. It comes with a hybrid adaptor which threads onto the 510 connector on the bottom of the atomiser which then allows you to connect it to the battery tube. This is really quite a good feature as it does enable you to use your other atomisers on the Romuluz battery tubes to create different hybrid devices. The atomiser itself is another fantastic piece of engineering that again is really quite unique, it has a pyrex tank system that enables quick and convenient flavour changes should the need arise.
Separate Pyrex tanks are available for purchase, that have a delrin sealing cap which enables you to carry a spare full tank with you. Moving onto the deck the dual wick holes are more than big enough for Stainless Steel rope, mesh whatever your preferred wicking material is. It also has a little Delrin chock that seals off one of the wick holes and negative screws to enable you to run the device in a single wick configuration. This Delrin chock also functions as a method of further reducing the capacity of the inside of the top cap which means this atomiser hits hard and gives fantastic flavour. The airflow adjustment has two massive cut outs for the dual wick configuration and a single air hole for a single wick. All the threading on this device are buttery smooth and it
just goes together so well, all the extensions thread together pretty much seamlessly. The engraving is really deep and looks like it will easily stand being polished with no issues at all. The unique serial number is engraved in Roman Numerals which I really like.
So how does it vape??? Well I've been using this thing for a while with different liquids, some 50/50 some 70/30 some 80/20 and some 100% VG and it's just handled them all so well, I've got no complaints with this device whatsoever it just works. The only thing I would say is at this price point it would of been nice to have a little bag with spare screws and o rings in and it would of been nice to have a driptip included with it. This is currently for sale at
Midlands Vaping for £99.99, now I know to some it's perhaps not that expensive and I know there are devices out there that cost many times this amount. But for me it's a lot of money, don't get me wrong I think it's worth every penny, my advice to you is this, if you want a fantastic hybrid that oozes quality but doesn't require you to remortgage to buy it grab one!!!! But do it quickly I don't know how many they have in stock but trust me you won't be disappointed at all. Don't just take my word for it though there are plenty of other reviews on this device and from the ones I've read and watched there's not been a bad word said. To finish off a huge thankyou to Andy and Kirstie they are absolutely fantastic, they are so helpful and knowledgeable and even though they didn't post this till mid afternoon it was still with me the very next day which is outstanding service. Even if you decide this device isn't for you I'd still recommend checking out
Midlands Vaping because they cover pretty much all bases regardless of your budget and they have an extensive range to suit all your vaping needs.
