Review of Uwell Nunchaku RDA 80W Starter Kit

In the world of vaping, recently there has been an interesting trend – devices that were popular three or five years ago are coming back in a slightly updated form. An example of this is the ego tube mods, the relevance of which is not in doubt. It is clear that with ego the new models are designed for liquids with salt nicotine, but with pipeheads the situation is a bit more complicated – they have become more productive and functional. One of the new products in this class is Nunchaku RDA 80W Starter Kit from quite famous Chinese manufacturer Uwell, which will please you not only with its original design, but also with its technical characteristics.

General Data

Uwell Nunchaku RDA 80W Starter Kit is a box mod, or rather a mod made in the form of a tube, very much like a mechmod, but with a chip installed and a full set of protections. This starter kit is completed with a drip with the same name, designed to get equal parts flavor and bulk. The manufacturer gives vapers the choice of one of the colors blue, white, burgundy, mint green and olive. Uwell company offers such colors for a reason many vapers are sick and tired of black and steel devices. With its small size Uwell Nunchaku is able to work with 80 watts of power provided by a standard 18650 battery installed on the bottom.

Kit

Considering the fact that this is a starter kit, Uwell has provided a fairly extensive kit that will allow you to service mainly the atomizer. In the branded box you can find:

Uwell Nunchaku Mod;

Uwell Nunchaku RDA;

Two nichrome spirals with 0.3 ohms resistance;

A special T-shaped screwdriver used to install the coils in the drip;

Squonk pin;

A set of fingerings;

Some Japanese absorbent cotton;

Extra insulator and screw;

USB cable;

User’s manual.

The manufacturer is not in vain. This starter kit vaper only need to unpack it, set the spirals and put the wad in the drip tip, insert the battery and you can enjoy another device from Uwell.

Uwell Nunchaku Mod

Uwell Nunchaku Mod is a typical representative of modern pipe mods, the design of which combines minimalism and practicality. With its rather modest size the mod is designed to fit 24 mm atomizers, and its diameter in the bulkiest part is 27,5 mm. This technical solution is interesting because the ergonomics of the device are at the highest level, it sits perfectly in the hand, does not slip out and can be safely used by vapers with small palms (not schoolchildren!).

The device is made of stainless steel with the subsequent painting. On the painting it is worth stopping a bit – the paint is powder coated and then covered with a layer of varnish, which gives the device a certain gloss. This solution may not appeal to everyone, but a large selection of colors allows you to stand out from the crowd.

The proprietary Uwell board is designed to use the device in the standard modes of variwatt, thermal control, and bypass. At first glance it may seem like a mechmod, but in fact the board inside the Nunchaku Mod has a full set of protections that make it completely safe to use. At the bottom of the tube mod there is a miniature screen, which displays a standard set of information about the operation of the device. The +/- buttons are located near the display, so it is very easy to set the modes and power, the process is controlled without any problems. The fire button is very solid and effortlessly pressed with an audible click. The device works with windings from 0.1 Ohm, so the user has the ability to pick up the coil that best meets his requirements. Do not think that the maximum power of 80 watts is not enough because with the resistance of 0,2-0,3 ohms the working power varies from 50-70 watts.

Uwell Nunchaku RDA

The complete Uwell Nunchaku RDA drip is made in the same style as the pipehead, so it looks one piece on it. The drip is simple enough, without frills, with an adjustable side blowout. The base in the Nunchaku RDA is two-stack, with the spirals counter-mounted. It is worth saying that the base is very similar to the Druga RDA, but the screws for fixation are screwed with a special screwdriver, because the hex is not standard on them. If you want you can replace the 810th drip-type without dongle with any other one from your collection. The important feature of this vape is that it can be used both with two spirals and with one spiral, especially for this purpose there is an overhang in the dome that overlaps the blowdown.

General impression and conclusions

We can safely say that Uwell Nunchaku RDA 80W Starter Kit is quite an interesting starter kit, which will appeal to those who like non-standard technical solutions and do not forget about the functionality. The tube with its small size does not require a lot of space to carry, in your pocket it is practically not visible. According to some vapers, this device can confidently replace the standard box mods, giving a sufficient amount of flavor and bulk.
