After seeing good things about the Serpent Elevate and the fact i still use a Serpent mini quite often i couldn't refuse the opportunity to review the Serpent Elevate, I am so happy i did.
Top airflow makes this a leak free tank now that's what we all wish for is it not. The airflow is a clever idea air goes in at the top sideways then travels down and splits at the base. Some air goes in from the side of the coils and some comes in under the coil.
The single coil base is designed to shorten the delivery path of vapour and is simple to build on no matter which way you wrap your coil as it has for screws but only room for 1 coil. Wicking is also so simple just use enough wick to cover the whole port but avoid packing the cotton in to the port as the cotton needs room to soak up liquid. Wotofo have used a similar deck to the Recurve rta . The tank is also top fill with 2 large kidney holes under the cap which i like as i use larger needle tip bottles mostly. A touch i did like in the Serpent elevate package is the fact they included a tool for cutting your coils legs exactly how you need them and the longer flathead screwdriver is better than the old little blue screwdrivers, plus that tool for getting your coil positioned which is another thing where Wotofo have put thought into the making. Thumbs up for that too.
The airflow ring is like a Serpent textured ring that helps make gripping easier. the airflow doesn't rotate 360 degrees it moves to full open then has to be turned back to cut down the airflow.
Put the tank all back together add juice and you have FLAVOUR, and i mean good flavour. As some members know my favourite RTA is the Advken Manta which is duel coil, the Serpent Elevate is a single coil but its really close to the Manta. So you know why i said i have been so happy.
I have a 0.33 ss clapton coil 3mm diameter and have been using a moderate 42 watts mostly with the Serpent Elevate and it's been fantastic no leaking , no dry hits and no gurgling and it was also the same fantastic flavour using the RTA in temp control.
6 different colours are available too.

Pro's

No Leaking
No dry hits
No gurgling
easy to build and wick
large kidney holes for juice refills
Flavour, flavour, flavour
everything you need is included in the box even the coiling tool

Cons

I have none and i won't make any up.

Conclusion

The Serpent Elevate is one of my favourite Rta's so far and will get a lot of use. It's simplicity to build and wick is a breath of fresh air But it's the flavour i can't stop saying it but it is amazingly good. As mentioned i can't find a thing to say is a con but others may. Wotofo have a winning RTA with the Serpent Elevate so if you are in the market for a new RTA i would put it on your shortlist of contenders.

Thanks for reading and i hope you found it helpful.

I really like the look of this. I went straight from tanks to RDA's so am yet to try an RTA but may be willing to give this a try. Great review BTW

 

[vapellie]

Agreed, it's the only thing that had taken my fancy of late, and it's my new favourite single coil rta.

Although I caved and am awaiting the gear rta for comparison...!

I have a gear clone and another on way they are decent atties but nope the Manta and Serpent elevate are better i would say the Gear is on par with the Zeus rta

How do you find the Gear compares against this?

For flavour and airflow, the gear edges it slightly imho, but the gear seems slightly fussier Re wicking than the elevate. Not particularly difficult to get right, but I find the serpent line of tanks have all been pretty good at taking any wicking I would chuck in there, not very fussy at all. Serpent doesn’t need refilling every other minute too. But the gear has become my new favourite rta.

I would say there is not a lot between it though, definitely very much in the same league and you wouldn’t be disappointed with either!

Does anyone have experience with both the elevate and the Zeus original? I own the Zeus and it's a nice single coil atty but wondering whether to get the elevate as well or whether there's not much difference.

sorry for the late reply. The gear i do like but find the drip tip low and the top of the tank gets hot so had a few problems with burnt lips. but this might not apply to folks with smaller lips. Flavour wise the gear is very good, not quite Manta good but close. The elevate is a bit better than the gear for flavour imo.

I would say the Elevate is better because the Zeus drinks liquid faster. I think the Elevate beats the Zeus slightly all round but thats just my opinion
