The Sparrow RTA is Early Bird's first release into the rebuildable tank world. Early Bird might be new to the vape scene, but the designers behind it have decades of experience in the industry. This isn't a first attempt from beginners - it's a debut from people who've been building RTAs for years and know exactly what works. The Sparrow RTA is their fresh take on RDL and MTL vaping, built from the ground up to be genuinely functional rather than just looking good on paper.
At 24mm diameter and 36mm tall without the drip tip, the Sparrow RTA is compact but punches above its weight for flavour. The top-to-bottom diffused airflow system stops leaks while giving you hundreds of airflow combinations. You get eight bottom airflow pins in the box - 1.0mm all the way up to 4.0mm. Pick your pin, dial in the top airflow, and you've got your perfect draw sorted.
The two-post deck takes 2.5mm and 3mm premade coils without fuss. Large wicking ports and top airflow design mean leaks aren't an issue. The barrel sections have knurled grip so you can switch between standard and extended mode without tools or slipping.
If you're after that perfect MTL draw, take a look at the proper MTL Kit. Everything about the Sparrow RTA is designed to be user-friendly while actually delivering on flavour. This isn't just another RTA - it's one you'll keep reaching for.

The Sparrow uses a top-to-bottom diffused airflow system. Air enters at the top, travels down through the tank, and hits your coil from beneath. This setup stops e-liquid from leaking out the airflow holes because there aren't any bottom-facing holes for liquid to escape from. You get smooth, consistent airflow without the mess. The diffused design spreads the air evenly across your coil rather than blasting it from one direction, which helps with flavour.

Early Bird includes eight airflow pins in the box: 1.0mm, 1.2mm, 1.5mm, 1.8mm, 2.2mm, 2.8mm, 3.4mm, and 4.0mm. The smaller pins give you a tight cigarette-style MTL draw. The larger pins open things up for DTL vaping. Swap pins in seconds to completely change how the Sparrow RTA vapes. Combined with the adjustable top airflow, you've got hundreds of possible airflow combinations. Dial it in exactly how you want it.
The deck uses a classic two-post design that's been around for years because it works. Installing premade coils is straightforward - position your coil, tighten the screws, trim the legs, and you're done. The Sparrow RTA takes 2.5mm and 3mm coils without modification. Wicking is simple too, with large ports showing you exactly where the cotton needs to sit. If you've built on a two-post deck before, you'll know what to do. If you haven't, this is a good one to learn on.

The wicking ports on the Sparrow RTA are generous. You can use plenty of cotton without worrying about choking the juice flow. Because the airflow comes from the top rather than the bottom, there's no pathway for e-liquid to leak out even if you overwicked slightly. Top airflow RTAs are leak-resistant by design - the Sparrow takes advantage of that while still delivering proper flavour thanks to how the diffused airflow hits the coil.

At 24mm diameter, the Sparrow RTA sits flush on most mods without overhang. It's 36mm tall without a drip tip, so it doesn't add excessive height. This is a compact RTA that fits comfortably in your hand and doesn't dominate your mod. Despite the smaller size, Early Bird hasn't skimped on features or functionality. Everything you need is here - the Sparrow just doesn't waste space.

Early Bird includes two 510 drip tips in the box - one designed for MTL/RDL and one for DTL. The MTL tip is narrower for a more restricted draw. The DTL tip is wider for airflow. Swap them based on your build and airflow setup. Both tips are comfortable and functional rather than just being thrown in as an afterthought.

The Sparrow RTA is Early Bird's debut product, designed by people with decades of experience in the rebuildable market. This isn't a learning exercise - it's a refined RTA that benefits from years of knowledge about what works and what doesn't. You get eight airflow pins for total draw customisation, a two-post deck that makes building easy, top-to-bottom diffused airflow that prevents leaks, and tool-free barrel switching for extended mode. Everything is designed to be user-friendly while delivering genuine flavour.
