This time I’ve managed to get my meat hooks on the Wotofo Profile X RTA this is a new rebuildable tank atomiser!
The Wotofo Profile X is a leak-proof RTA it has top filling, a smooth honeycomb airflow and features a new type of build deck.
Wotofo is based in Shenzhen, China. They have produced some fine devices in the past like Mdura Pro or the MDura Mini Kit. By far their biggest success is their Profile range of toppers like the Profile PS Dual Mesh RDA, Profile M RTA and the Profile RDTA.
What Can We Expect from the Wotofo Profile X RTA?
For those that don’t know RTA stands for Re-buildable Tank Atomiser!
This RTA has a spacious combination deck that will allow the use of either mesh strips or single/dual wire coils.
The Profile X features a ¼ turn fill cap and is a leakproof design. The removable top airflow ring is honeycombed which helps to produce a smooth draw with better flavour.
Wotofo has produced the Profile X in 6 colourful designs that include: Black, Stainless Steel, Rainbow, Gun Metal, Blue and Gold!
The Profile X RTA was sent directly to us for review by Wotofo!
And as always my thoughts and views are my own, after a considerable testing period.

Design and Build Quality
I was sent the standard Gun Metal version.
It came in a card box with a plastic lid.
Wotofo have included a good amount of extras under the foam tray that includes:- A spare glass tank, Cotton, O-rings and Spare screws, Screwdriver and Mesh bending post, 3 Mesh strips, and 2 Ni80 Framed Staple Clapton round coils.
The exterior of the Profile X RTA measures in with an overall height of 43.7mm, with a base diameter of 28mm, this includes the mouthpiece and connection pin.
My standard tank came installed with a 5ml glass tank which I’ve since changed for the 8ml that is included in the box.
The Profile X breaks down into 5 main parts 6 if you include the airflow ring. The RTA is constructed of Stainless Steel, Pyrex and Resin.
Starting at the top
The Profile X RTA has a low-profile resin 810 mouthpiece.
The stainless steel fill cap has a ¼ turn, which makes the RTA easy to fill.
There are 2 embedded O-rings, 1 to help keep the mouthpiece in place and on the reverse side for leak prevention around the inside of the cap!
This tank’s centre section is all one piece and incorporates 2 large kidney-shaped fill ports under the cap.
The tank has a honeycomb airflow ring which is removable for easy cleaning.
When removed the ring reveals a slot airflow that has a downward directional angle!
Looking at the chimney section it seems to be rather short, but this isn’t really the case as the main shaft of the chimney is hidden behind the adjustable airflow section!
The coil cover has been designed with 2 large liquid intake slots and the barrel has been printed with the Wotofo logo.
Looking into the coil cover you will see that it has some doming which helps to draw liquid and condensation back down to the coil and cotton. You will also see inside the reverse end of the airflow. This section also has well-turned threading to connect the base!
Build Deck
Unscrewing the base from the main body reveals the build deck, which has 2 wire clamps operated by a Philips-headed screw for each clamp. Behind the clamp screw are 2 other screws, these operate the postless round wire slots.
This RTA has a spring-loaded German peek insulator. Looking into the slots of this peek insulator, you will see the slots for your wire tails and at each end of the insulator is a slot for your cotton tails!
On the bottom of the base, it has been printed with all the normal safety and manufacturing marks, along with a non-adjustable gold-plated contact pin.
The kit comes with the following coils:
- 2 x Ni80 Framed Staple Clapton wire coils 0.33Ω 40-55W
- 1 x NexMesh Chill Kanthal A1 mesh element 0.15Ω 60-80W
- 1x NexMesh Turbo Kanthal A1 mesh element 0.13Ω 60-80W
- 1x NexMesh Extreme Kanthal A1 mesh element 0.16Ω 60-80W
The tank also comes with the choice of Pyrex tank 5ml or 8ml, if you have purchased the TPD version of the RTA it will come with a 2ml liquid capacity!
Wotofo Profile X RTA Quick Start Guide
For this example I will be using the NexMesh 0.15 mesh strip called “Chill” and because of my Nickel allergy, I will be switching to a pair of my own DIY Kanthal wire coils.
For liquid, I will be filling the Profile X with EJuice Warehouse “Apple Burst”
Installing Mesh
- Bend the Mesh strip using the included Mesh tool and insert it into the clamps. Tighten them down, but don’t over-tighten as you may damage the mesh strip!
- Insert the 6mm cotton shoelace that is included in the box, under the Mesh. Fluff, trim and tuck the cotton tails into the cotton slots.
- Dampen the cotton and mesh with e-liquid and reassemble the tank.
- Fill the RTA with your E-liquid – and enjoy a great vape.
Installing Round Wire Coils
To build your deck with round wire coils!
I assume you have a basic understanding of how to create a coil if not please take a look here.
To place round wire coils into the deck you will need to unscrew the post screws behind the mesh screws. The wire tails are inserted into the wire slots visible through the German peek insulator, I would suggest you heat and scrape the coils so they heat up evenly!
Then treat the build as above by inserting your cotton, fluffing, trimming and tucking and then dampening the cotton before reassembling the RTA.
*Tip – with both methods don’t allow the cotton to touch the deck thread! Or you won’t be able to screw the tank back together!
How Does the Profile X RTA Perform?
I think I have said in the past I love using RTA’s and by extension RDA’s for the sheer quality of vapour and flavour produced also let not forget the cost effectiveness of using DIY coils and mesh strips.
So to start with, I set the Profile X RTA up with a pair of 24g Kanthal round coils built on a 3.5mm rod they totalled almost 0.2Ω.
I’m using my Hellvape Hell200 mod set first at 30W to bed the coils in for a few toots and then I took the power up to 60W in increments of 5W.
I set the airflow to approximately ½ which is my own preference. I received a decent flavour with a nice warm vapour production.
I’ve used this setup for over a week without experiencing any leaks or other problems!
After a week of using DIY coils, I switched to use one of the NexMesh strips that came with the kit – I used the one they call “Chill”.
Like for my DIY coils I took it easy for a few puffs and bedded the mesh in at 30W, again in 5W increments I worked the power up to first 60W and then to 80W.
This time I opened the airflow fully and I received a slightly muted flavour at 80W but the vapour production was very cloudy.
I have now settled on 65W with a ¾ open airflow, which gives me the best flavour with a decent vapour production for my everyday vape.
Pros
- Great quality and design
- Good flavour
- Great vapour production
- Easy to build
- Very easy to fill and maintain
Cons
- I have no concerns with the Profile X RTA
Final Verdict
This is a very easy-to-build RTA, the combination deck has plenty of room to fiddle with your coils, in fact I class it as a bonus in being able to use either mesh or DIY coils.
This is also a very easy-to-maintain RTA, changing cotton and filling it with e-liquid is really very simple with the ¼ turn cap.
For me, the Profile X RTA gave me a smooth draw with a good flavour and great vapour production.
I’d recommend this RTA to those with experience in building or to those that want to give building a go!
You’d think that after more than 2 weeks of testing and general use of the Profile X RTA, I would have been able to find a flaw or two, the truth is I didn’t find anything that would put me off buying this RTA again!

I just got the Wotofo profile and built it with the mesh it came with and also the cotton , i primed the cotton etc ( i am an experienced vapour and built mesh coils etc before ) . I then set my Voopoo Drag M100s at 35 watts , opened the airflow fully and started to vape , after just a few vapes i got a burnt flavour , i had a full tank of my usual juice . I opened it up to inspect my build and it seamed to be fine , i tried once more but got the same burnt flavour . I then changed over to my usual mesh and cotton and rebuilt it , primed it etc . Still got that burnt flavour even at 30 watts it tasted burnt .
Has anyone any idea’s as why i am getting this burnt flavour ??? Exactly the same build in my other tanks are all ok . Please help .
You have to wick not as usually, check Sorteal vid about it.
Would you recommend this rta over the dead rabbit m‽ The profile x is listed as the best mesh rta on this site, however the dead rabbit m has better scores across the board (and both were reviewed by the same person)‽ Personally flavour with mesh is the priority, but any pros and cons would be appreciated.
