RDA Aeolus v2 Pro by Synthetic Cloud

[Two_Bears]

Here's the deal: it looks good. The online images make you want this, yes? Well, images are one thing, but having the atty is another story altogether. So I don't have to repeat what was said, read this post:




I am going to put this atty through its paces tonight/tomorrow, so if my opinion changes on this I will update this post. If not, then I won't. Even still, the issues with the slight gap on the mod and on the top cap-to-the base are just how it is. There are more issues I dislike, but those can be seen as more subjective than the others ones.​

Sounds like this rda was built of a hybrid mod.

I don't worry about the pin being too long. And there is a 1/2 millimeter gap between the Atty and mod. Better to have the screw too long than too short and fail to make contact.

Blaze what version did you get? The v1 v2 or the pro version? Does it sit flush on your mods? Is the chamber reverse threaded?

Yea the thread title is confusing, there is no mini, there is only the v2 Pro and the old v1. I have the v2. Sits flush on all my mods, barrel is reverse threaded, doesn't come loose, it has an oring as well as the threading, it's not just threading.

Sweet. I want one lol, in the mean time I ordered a slam cap for my tugboat v1 while I decided my next rda. I've seen a few images on google that show the threads and the oring. I want to order an all black Aeolus v2 but I was worried it wouldn't sit flush on my mods. If you say it does sit flush I might order one soon. Could you tell me where you got yours from? Also what kind of drip tip your using? I saw that on the syntheclouds website they have some wide bore drip tips and some comp caps but I don't know if they are really worth it.

I read some people claiming that the current comp Cap/ tip doesn't fit well on the V2 even though Syntheticloud claims on their site that it works with both. Syntheticloud responded by posting that Caps specifically made for the V2 are on the way.

The slam cap is awesome, just got a tugboat v2 mod with the matching slam cap last week and I love it. What mod are you using? I only know the Aeolus fits flush on the mods I have. I pre-ordered mine from Syntheticloud like a month ago, they are sold out of black but some online stores still have the black one last I heard. I'm using a widebore 510 drip tip with it I want to get one of those friction fit widebore dotmod petri tips though.

Yep that seems shady as heck I could swear when I preordered it said the tips fit both v1 and v2 and I almost ordered one now they are saying they never said that and that the tips only fit the compcaps. Maybe i'm wrong but i've seen other people say the same thing.

 

[jhhollier]

That kind of bothered me but I think I'll just use my own tips to start with and see how I like the atty overall. If I enjoy it I'm sure I'll order the comp cap and tip from them.

My gold V2 will be in tomorrow along with some other goodies. Can't wait to build it.

Don't think you'll need the comp cap as this thing has crazy airflow, I have mine closed 1/3rd of the way and I normally run all my atty's wide open. Got my dotmod friction fit drip tip today and it's nice, don't have to take the cap off to drip, just drip right through the tip and its a nice tight fit, my other drip tips fit but were not nearly as tight as this one. Took some pics earlier and gonna post them in a bit if I can figure out how lol

 

[bluehaze013]

Sorry, not the best pics, had taken them earlier on my phone

Loaded up with cotton, can dump a full 30ml bottle dropper in her and just vape away kind of like a mini tank lol This is my initial build I threw together quickly just to get a chance to vape on it right away but it's working pretty good so haven't changed it out yet. Gonna try some clapton's eventually.

Pic from the top, blurry, my bad, I just uploaded these straight from my phone, didn't have a chance to check them.

My Petri dotmod friction fit tip, went to the Vaposhark by my house and they had these so I picked one up, it's not the one I wanted though the older ones were anodized in the exact same blue as my Hexohm, maybe I can find an older one online somewhere..

I ordered a sigelei 75watt tc. Can't wait till it comes in. Got some nickel wire on the way as well, I heard it's a pain to work with but I'll figure it out. For now I'm using my good old ipv mini v1. It does done well with my lemo drop v1 but I really want to step up to 40watts+ and some rda's. Tc will be fun to mess with. I heard the aeolus doesn't come with a drip tip so i'll just order one I guess. Probably going to go with the comp cap ha. I haven't heard of those dotmods petri tips, I'll have to check them out

 

[jhhollier]

I wanted a dotmod DT but I was worried I wouldn't be able to drip through it. Since that's not the case I'll have to get one.

 

[jhhollier]

Gotta say now that I have the V2 in my hands that reverse threading is a bit of head scratcher. I haven't built it yet, I'll make an attempt later tonight. Not thrilled so far and I already see Syntheticloud releasing a new version that isn't reverse threaded and I'll be stuck with this one. Judgment will be reserved until I can get a build in there and vape on it.

Where did you find the info about a non reverse threaded version? Also any word of a shorter centerpin?

I didn't, that was a bit poorly worded I guess. I meant that since I bought this version I'm sure that Syntheticloud will announce an updated version soon and I'll end up screwed. That's my luck.

Did you tighten the deck to your mod first? If the deck wasn't reverse threaded the barrel would come off whenever you tried to remove the atty and vice versa. I'm honestly baffled by people not liking the threading. I think it's a great idea and it works great for me. The top cap on the other hand.. sigh I took it too work today and it just comes off way too easy. I was constantly digging around the bottom of my pocket trying to find the thing because it kept falling off.. Kind of defeats the purpose of the threaded deck.

Heres a vid on how to use the threading though:


P.S. If you get the dotmod DT make sure to get the friction fit, thats the one I have and has plenty of room to drip through. I doubt the oring ones have a wide enough bore to drip through.

 

[jhhollier]

Yeah, I tightened the deck first. That brings me to my another complaint, if you take the Aeolus off and want to put it back on you basically have to remove the barrel, put the deck back on and repeat the process again. Seems like a nuisance. I'm gonna give it more of a trial before I write it off but not liking the atty so far. The flavor is just okay thus far. I would've thought that an atty heralded for its flavor (the V1) would've only gotten better with more of a reduced chamber but it doesn't seem like that's the case.

I'll make sure to get the friction fit DT.

ETA: Another thing, juice gets on the top of the 510 by the time you get the barrel screwed on properly. So while it may not like from the airholes, it seems to leak from the bottom. And I can't imagine how bad the mess will be when putting the deck back on my mod.

I'm totally baffled, I've never had this happen? How does the barrel come off when the deck is reverse threaded? I've removed it and switched it to different mods dozens of times now and never had it come loose. Maybe I just got really lucky or something lol

For the flavor did you build the coils out toward the barrel and up high so they're directly under the airflow? I think this is crucial with a top airflow as physics are working against you, I don't think the airflow will actually wrap around the coil unless its directly under the holes in the top cap.

 

[jhhollier]

The barrel only comes loose when it screwing it back on to a mod. Every time. I re-positioned the coils higher and the flavors somewhat better. I understand Syntheicloud's reasoning behind the reverse threading but I don't get why they didn't just use o-rings and not thread the barrel at all. I've been using the Hastur daily and its barrel is only held on by o-rings and I've had no leaking issues or any issues of any type.

I watched the video and I have no idea how he's screwing the barrel on so snug without the atty starting to loosen. It's not working that way for me and I'm being as careful as I can be.

Well they threaded the barrel so it becomes the juice well, if you build the coils up high underneath the airflow you basically have a huge juice well with no worry of the barrel coming off in your pocket etc but I understand your reasoning if the barrel is coming loose. Mine works exactly like his does in the video, I don't now what the difference is between mine and yours or some of the others obviously a lot of people are having this problem if they made a video about it though. Did you lube the oring with juice before threading the barrel on? I know they use water in the video but I use juice (old mechanics trick to keep oil leaking from oil filters is to spread oil on the rubber gasket before screwing the oil filter on that's where I learned to do it lol) Maybe it's binding on the oring and not tightening all the way before the atty comes loose?

I basically lube mine up with juice, tighten the deck fairly tight so it takes some force to remove, then screw the barrel on until the atty comes loose then reverse direction and snug the atty back up. I hope that helps, if not i'm sorry man, I feel bad for recommending this atty when others are having problems, just trying to help.

Not your fault, I've been wanting this atty and ordered when VaporDNA had the $15 off if you spend over $75 (I added a $1-something vape band to the order and ended up getting that and the Aeolus V2 for like $61 shipped, not a bad deal) offer. I'm gonna try juicing the o-ring on the deck and see if that helps. I'm not giving up on the Aeolus V2 just yet but it's been a bit frustrating so far. It's hard to justify much effort when my Tugboat V2s and Hastur are much easier to deal with and are giving a better vape at the moment.

 

[bluehaze013]

I'm with you on the Tugboat, they are my favorite atty's of all time and Flawless is my favorite company by far. I don't know much about the Hastur but not interested in any atty's with the airflow holes on top next to the drip tip after my experience with the vector, your lips end up blocking the holes so you have to be really delicate vaping on it and if you overfill it a little bit you get spit back out the airholes that burns your lips it's just not pleasant to vape on in my opinion. I made the mistake, not thinking at the time and tried to do a preheat blowing into the drip tip of my vector once and ended up looking like I had herpes for a week because I burned my lips, gave it to my buddy and he ended up doing the same thing lol Airholes on the topcap are a no go for me!

Edit: Forgot to say, just to update my previous post I figured out they include a black oring, it's kinda counter intuitive because its a much smaller diameter and much thicker oring than the one that comes installed on the atty but I put that one on the topcap and it doesn't pop off anymore, in fact it's pretty much welded on there lol have to take the barrel off to get it off but it works great as long as you have a drip tip that you can drip through. Don't really much care for Syntheticloud as a company honestly but I do still really like this atty. Cheers guys.
