WOTOFO GEAR V2 RTA Tank Review – Less is More?

We’ve reviewed WOTOFO’s Profile M RTA tank in 2021. WOTOFO’s signature neon green and black colors are bold and young. WOTOFO always gives us something new regardless of the technology or design.

WOTOFO GEAR V2 RTA is a single coil tank. It features with simple and compact look. The diameter is 24mm and height is 38.5mm (include the drip tip and 510 connector). The tank capacity for standard version is 3.5mL. Unlike Profile M RTA, GEAR V2 RTA only comes with one tank and 1 drip tip option. It’s made for convenience. It adopts with two fixed airflow inlets at the lower side parts. The air will flow all the way up and travel through your tank and give you great flavors. For more details on other aspects of this RDA, let’s continue to read and find out with us!

We have highlighted aspects we like in green, and those we don’t in red, to make your reading easier.

Product Info

Design, Quality and Ease of Use

The drip tip and tank are made of PCTG. The deck part is made of stainless steel. There is one O-ring on the tank (for the drip tip), and one on the deck (for tank). You can also find replacements in the package if you break them. However, we haven’t had any problem with them after a month. The tolerance was nice, too. Now let’s move to the design. The tank is beautifully designed, right to our tastes. There are 6 colors: black, SS (stainless steel), gunmetal, blue, gold, and rainbow. What we got was black. The whole tank is dark-tinted and semi-transparent. You can also see the GEAR V2 logo behind the tank. The corrugated tank adds some fun to the design. It’s like a window shutter. It also looks like the kaleidoscope that you get different shades from different angles. However, it’s a bit difficult for us to observe the juice level from the dark tinted tank. It’s relatively clearer if you check your juice from the LOGO part since it has lighter color.

Filling System

GEAR V2 RTA features a top filling system. Because WOTOFO wanted to make it as compact as possible, the connection between the drip tip and tank is quite thin, and there is no anti-slip design. Therefore, it’s actually difficult for us to unscrew the drip tip to fill. Moreover, when it’s installed on the mod and  you want to unscrew the drip tip to refill, make sure you grab the tank, or you might unscrew the tank and all the juice will leak out instead. For refilling, the holes are large enough. There are three holes.

The surface of the whole tank is smooth. It feels nice in hand. But we also came to the problem that if we got some oils on hands or our hands were sweaty, it was almost impossible for us to unscrew without any tools like facial tissue.

Airflow

GEAR V2 RTA tank has no adjustable airflow. There are two fixed airflow inlets. According to WOTOFO, it’s the best airflow for this tank calculated by their engineers. The airflow inlets are on the lower side parts. The 38.5mm height is very short, which enables the air to travel through the tank in a short time. Also, since the inlets are on the lower parts, leakage is a thing we need to worry about. During our use, we didn’t have any leaking. However, after we have set it for a few days, we encountered some leakage from the airflow inlets, which was a bit troublesome to us.

Building and Wicking

Building GEAR V2 RTA tank is fairly simple to us. The package comes with two 0.33Ωclapton and they are framed, and there are one screwdriver and 2 cotton strips. The other tool you need will be a plier that cuts the coil legs. We will go through the building steps and note things you need to be aware below:

1. Make sure the coil legs are at the correct direction (since the screws are on different side and the coil provided are toward the same side.)
2. Cut the coil legs to appropriate length
3. Unscrew the screws using the screwdriver provided
4. Place the coil onto the deck and place the coil legs besides the screw holes.
5. Tighten the screws carefully (you need to hold the coil tightly and stably to make it stay still at its place. Otherwise, it will be hard to tighten the screws.)
6. Use the screwdriver to tighten the coil
7. Heat the wire and make sure it’s evenly heated.

Wicking

There are two threads of 3mm thick cotton stipes in the box. For cotton, we used about 2/3 of the cotton strips before we load it into the coil, as we found it difficult for us to have the whole strip into the coil. The cotton provided was in great quality as well.

Performance

GEAR V2 RTA tank delivered surprisingly good flavors in such a small body. We used Dinner Lady Lychee e-liquid and mango flavor. The two coils are 0.33Ω. First of all, the suggested power range is from 40-55W. we prefer to use it at range of 50-60W, where we felt it performed very well at this range with warmer vapor. The vapor was smooth, no big particles felt in mouth (that’s what we liked). The sweetness was a bit weak. However, it gave us nice lychee aroma, so did the mango.

In general, this tank performed flavors very well on the refreshing side, which we could vape all the time and not get bored. The temperature was nice too. The fixed airflow didn’t bother us as we thought it would.

Price

WOTOFO GEAR V2 RTA tank’s MSRP is $34.95. It’s sold for only $24.99 at Vapesourcing. The price is very reasonable. For other similar products on the market, the prices also fall into the range.

Verdict

To sum up, WOTOFO GEAR V2 RTA tank is a great performer as a small-sized and single coil tank. The design is so minimal, yet with some bold attitude like WOTOFO always is (if you get the other colors like gold and rainbow). You also don’t need to worry about airflow adjustment since it’s fixed. It does have some cons because of the simple outlook, such as hard to screw, no enough grips.

If you are looking for convenience and simplicity, GEAR V2 RTA is a great choice for you. It will give you nice flavor within a few simple steps.
