Ok Apes i have been using the Serpent mini Rta since Saturday which was sent to me by @gearbest.com for review. So first of all a thank you to Gearbest.
So what's in the box you get the actual tank which holds 3 ml of liquid. a packet of various coloured spare o rings, screws and an allen key ,a packet containing 3 coils which is what i have been using with the tank. A packet comtaining a cotton pad. This i did not use as i have some cotton bacon that i use and you also get a spare glass section a t shirt giveaway card promotion and an instruction pamphlet on how to build the deck.
I found this rta one of the easiest decks i have ever built maybe because it is single coil but hey 2 minutes and it was done.
It came out to be a 0.58 ohm build using the stock coils included which are 4 wraps and a duel wire coil one spiraled round the other thicker wire. excuse me for not knowing the exact type of coil.
wicking was quite easy a tip is to wet the cotton so it fits correctly into the wick channel .
The Tank is all stainless steel apart from the glass obviously. Top fill and has 2 fairly large slots under the top cap so it is easy to fill without a spill. Infact the tank has not leaked at all in anyway since i set it up.

I have been using the Serpent Mini on my istick pico which it suits very well making it a stealthy device and find with the stock coil build it provides a decent vape at 20-25 watts. The airflow is not a very big amount and the chimney post is somewhat like the old kanger protank size.
Is it a cloud machine? not really but it does give of a decnt amount of vapour . It is good for flavour.
I would say this tank is more of a restricted Lung inhale tank than anything else. But may well give more vapour with a lower build and higher wattage, I can't comment on what it is like in Temp control but will give it a go soon. I will add this though you won't fit a coil like the Notch onto the deck or a coil with a few wraps unless it is quite thin wire as there is limited space . But for stealth reasons this is perfect.
Pros.
Easy to build
stealthy
No leaks
Good flavour
batteries will last longer using the tank at the lower wattage while providing a more than adequit vape.
Build deck accesible while the tank is full
Cons
I would have liked to see info on what the coils where.
single coil only deck.
Maybe for some in need of more airflow.
Limited space for coil sizes.
conclusion.
A decent stealth tank, nice flavour and good value for money Don't buy this tank if you are a cloudbro otherwise i think it is a decent addition to anyones vape gear collection especially those looking for something small

watched a u tube vid on this done by vapingbiker, the only thing he pointed out was the 'domed screws' that hold the ends of the wire in place....but I did add it to my possible list and on your Pico it looks good....Gearbest currently have it in one of their flash sales for £11.55
