RDA Avid Vaper Velocity V2

[DougFNJ]

Got mine yesterday, sat on a noisy cricket with some alien coils.

Photos or it didn't happen.

Mine is supposed to arrive today according to tracking. However tracking is showing it sitting in a Post Office 3 towns over instead of in my towns post office with Out for Delivery. I'm anticipating tomorrow. [emoji19]

What's your go to mod for a 24mm atty?

My go to mod is the Platinum Plated Limitless Mech mod

Mine arrived today after all [emoji51]
Already had coils built and ready and my quick impressions are extremely positive.

First of all, I am a complete noob when it comes to rebuilding. I started messing with building with the Kayfun Lite + followed by the Kayfun V4 and did not do very well with those. I recently dipped my toe in again with the E-Phoenix Hurricane and found I am just not good with the rebuildable tanks. So I am trying my hand at dripping beginning 2 weeks ago with the Kennedy and have found much better success. I bought this to have more control over the air flow and it is not disappointing.

The only negative I can see is agreeing with sig-cmt, the posts are a little far apart. Everything else is excellent! I found it simple to build on and work with. From the minutes I have spend messing around a little with the air flow, I am absolutely blown away by the flavor. My Kennedy provides great flavor and clouds, but with tightening the air flow just a little....what a difference! I am looking forward to trying different builds, flavors, and messing with the air flow, but my initial impression is that this is worth every cent.
Can't wait until my VaporShark DNA 200 comes back from service so I could get some wattage going to this guy.

Late to this V2 Party. I got luck and snagged one on the opening run, thinking of getting another or maybe a used classic V1 if anyone want's to part with theirs.

I had some authentic Vulcan 22mm 510 Heat Fin adapters left and the v2 props up very will on them, plus with the smaller chamber, it gets damn hot.

I guess the second run of v2's sold out, looked on the site yesterday and said new batch 3/8 or 3/9, that banner is gone today and still sold out!! Bitter......

Finally got mine. A day early no less! Three builds later, got it! 28g. kanthal dual, a little high at.92, im having a hard time NOT fogging up the room at 55w. Just dropped it to 40w, closed it down, Getting very high quality flavor. Up to 75w, and im filling the room. Amazingly easy deck to build on. I dont think ill ever need another RDA!

Now that I have my V2's, thinking about getting the Authentic Steam Crave Aromizer Tank which uses Velocity style deck. Been getting great reviews and since everything is going 2-post nowadays, can't see myself ever needing another RDA unless a Aeolus or Kennedy 22mm or 24mm ever does a V4 with 2 post, (and no, not the tsunami).

What's wrong with the tsunami? It's getting rave reviews from everyone that has one. I have one on preorder & can't wait!

Nothing wrong with it, I already have one. It is good especially for the price. Not machined nor made remotely as well as either the Kennedy or Velocity, but I also only paid around $17 bucks for it.

I suppose the Tsunami can't be called a Chinese clone since it isn't a 1:1 to any single atty, but it straight ripped the airflow and barrel design from the Kennedy 22 and the 2-Post from the Avid's Velocity so it's more like a 1: 1/2 1/2.

I like the Tsunami, but an Authentic Kennedy 2-Post Kennedy would be sweet!!

Not to start an argument, but why? For the name and to pay 4 or 5 times the price? To be honest, the Kennedy's airflow was "stolen" from Cigreen's Holmes RDA. Then a second airflow pipe was added on each side. It's nothing new, really. And at the moment just about every modder has "stolen" the Velocity style deck. The materials used for the Kennedy may be better than those used in the Tsunami but I guess I just don't understand wanting to pay (and pay a lot more) for what you already have.

ETA: Just to stay on topic, I came very close to pulling the trigger for a Velocity V2 when the latest batch went on sale. I went back and forth and by the time I made up my mind it was out of stock. I'll probably grab one when the next batch is released.

Additional thoughts one week later: Could it benefit from a deeper juice well? Absolutely. Would a 24mm deck provide greater build space? Of course. However, I mentioned this in another thread and I thought I would mention it here: IMO, the Velocity V2 is the current jack of all trades, master of none RDA (though the latter may be debatable to some).

No argument, this is a discussion forum after all. The Kennedy was one of the first RDA's I ever purchased blindly, with no referral, review, nor input from anybody. Just happened on it looking for something else, mulled it over, kept going back to it, then finally just pulled the trigger and it worked out, so Kennedy is sorta a sentimental favorite.

The Stillare V2 is another classic, though I hated the V3 and not so hyped on the design of the Mark IV.

 

[DougFNJ]

Just to throw this out there, I ordered a second V2 considering whether or not I would want a second one. I am thinking I am good with my Kennedy and 1 V2. I should be arriving today or tomorrow. So if anybody wants one at the exact cost paid and shipped, I am happy to sell it brand new unopened at cost.

Just got my Velocity V2. The size is considerably smaller. Actually it is about the size of the Velocity V1 mini clone. It is much better suited for a squonk mod than V1. Just remove a screw from the 510 and you good to go. The squonk hole should work much better as well draining liquid back into the bottle. The screws in the posts are significantly beefier than on the first version. It is definitely a nice upgrade. I also like the secondary air flow much more on the V2. The only disappointment so far has been a lack of connection with my RX200. I put it on my Sigelei 150 and it made the connection just fine. But not being able to use on the RX is a bummer. I am going to test it on my other mods later tonight to see if the connection going to be a problem.
