Rose 3 RTA by Eden Mods

A UK designed and produced atomiser with quite a lot of hype around it... but how does it fare?

I purchased mine from spavapes for the purpose of using it a lot.

Spoiler alert * I picked up another from classifieds.

Build quality - 9/10
Wonderfully machined, comes perfectly clean. Previous are a given from Eden mods. The metal parts of the tank are not thick stainless steel, they do not feel flimsy and I'm sure this helps add to the great juice capacity from quite a short RTA. The atomiser feels quite light but still retains a high quality feel.

Ease of build - 9/10
Its postless. You wrap your coil and plonk the leads into the deck and tighten the grub screws on the side of the base. The wall of the deck comes off so access is easy. I think the only thing that would make putting a coil in this any easier would be if someone else does it. Ive fitted 0.32 kanthal right up to fused claptons with no problems fitting in the post holes.

Ease of wicking - 10/10
The deck wall and therefore holes move and can be aligned to match you coil. I tried a few methods but the simplest way happened to perform the best. Wick straight through the coil at your preferred tension (I like it fairly snug), wick placed in the channels and then trimmed to the edge. I tried 50/50 with no leaks & also 85VG with no dry hits. The juice flow control works by twisting the drip tip. This works very well to always allow the perfect amount of juice to keep your cotton saturated without over doing it. The only flaw I can think of is that the juice control does not have an upper limit, so if you were to open it all the way, you can go beyond the limit and screw the chimney off completely, although I've never needed to go close to this limit even with 85 VG.

Airflow - 9/10
Its great. MTL great. DTL great. For MTL I found myself using about half of one airhole. For DTL I run it wide open. There are 3 airholes on each side, you can utilise all 6 or just use one side and run 1,2 or 3 holes open, and anything in between. I found the draw to be smooth in all settings. There are a lot of preferences catered for here. The completely open setting is plenty wide enough for me to enjoy but those who like next to no restriction will be a little disappointed. The airflow ring is controlled by a piece of spring wire that will not wear over time like an o ring that can dry-up and/or bulge. The adjustment is on the loose side but stays in place in normal use.

Vape quality - 10/10
Outstanding. Both MTL & DTL. My preference nowadays seems to be for the direct lung inhales but I do enjoy the occasional MTL. Vape density is very good, flavours feel full and thick. I have tried not to say it, but it is, it is easily the best vape I have had from a tank. I have tried many builds from single spaced coils to fused claptons. While it handles the big coil with ease and the vape was great, the atty does not require the crazy builds to make it sing. My favourite build has been a 0.5mm kanthal 2.5mm spaced coil at around 30 watts.

Overall
The atty has blown me away a little bit. The ease of build & wicking means it a cakewalk to get the atty singing. The flavour from all of the juices I have put through it are up there with RDA flavour. I think its always hard to recommend an atomizer to someone else as so much is dependant on build, wicking, personal preference but I have no issue at all recommending this atty to anyone.

The price point may scare a few away. It may be more expensive than some are willing to spend on an atomizer. Of course, that is absolutely fine. In my opinion, the atomizer is good value for money. What you get is an atomizer that delivers on so many levels, it has been designed and built right here in the UK. The atty has been BETA tested and even the BETA models all came back with outstanding feedback.

If I could change anything, I might make the airflow ring a hair tighter, it doesn't move around on its own but in a bag/pocket it might move slightly off. I do believe Eden mods are aware of the fact that some people wish it was a little tighter and may release a tweak. I would add some kind of stop at the top of the juice flow adjustment to stop it going over.

The atty has been in my daily rotation since I got it and one has not been enough. Another has made it into the collection so I can enjoy another flavour in the rose 3 at the same time. If you think this atty is for you, give it a go, I'm sure you won't be disappointed

Thanks for the review, I've been thinking about buying this one. the Squape x dream is my current favourite and from what I have managed to find out the Rose is just as good but easier to build on so I think I'll end up having to get one.

The Rose 3 is an amazing tank. Haven't stopped vaping it since I got one at Vapefest. Well worth the price.

You can't put a stop on the juice control because it would prevent you taking the tank off. I open mine about 2 turns and it wicks perfectly, even Max VG juice.
