It is often the case that some RDA's are notoriously expensive and to be quite honest they can often have inherent flaws which makes the price unjustified but with Compvape products you certainly get what you pay for and the machining is consistently top notch. For a RDA of this quality, loaded with features and offering great flexibility in both build and vape options the average price of £50 is really worth every penny for something that will last you a very long time.
I have only one criticism about this RDA in that it really doesn't offer that much more than the Twisted Messes but then again if something isn't broken why fix it? However by the same token you could ask why sell another RDA with very minor changes when there is nothing wrong with the existing one?
The 13 Heavens, 9 Hells is a minor evolution of Compvape's previous RDA and the small improvements it makes are welcome but it does feel to me more like Twisted Messes version 1.1 rather than version 2.0. I think that if you already own a Twisted Messes then I don't honestly see why you would need this one unless of course you desire a second very well made and very versatile RDA from the same company.
For someone coming fresh to Compvape's products then this RDA is certainly the slightly better option but at the same time the Twisted Messes would likely serve you just as well and remains a excellent RDA. If I was a customer and the 13 Heavens 9 Hells was out of stock then I would purchase the Twisted Messes and vice versa because there really isn't that significant a difference between them.
In the final analysis it is up to people to assess this product for their own individual needs. If you want my personal view then I have to say I love both the 13 Heavens, 9 Hells and the Twisted Messes equally and I rate them both as some of my favourite RDA's of all time but there are only very minor differences between them.
