Got my Aeolus V2 Pro in the mail today. First looks this thing is beautiful and chunky, like heavy duty. Broke it all down to clean and man this thing has a lot of parts, I don't think I've ever had an rda that had this much to it. Can't wait to build on this. I'm really surprised this doesn't have a single coil option on it but it's all good, just glad to have it. I'll report back once it's built and vaped on.

I like that KGD is neat little squares in a box. I know how wide to cut the wick. I like pulling the "hard" sides off and if I need to skinny it up I can pull a slivered strip off. On vertical coils I center a piece over the coil and use a 1/16" drill bit to push it down so it folds on itself.

Koh Gen Do Organic Cotton Pads - DermStore
Generic japananese cotton brands are the same way. I must say tho I looked up KGd prices today and they came way down

Master of Clouds? How much ya paying for that. THAT sounds gimmicky TBH. All JOC is essentially the same. Puff, KGD, Shisedo etc.
I actually bought their brand of wire and the cotton was a cheap add on for like 3 bucks for 20 pads. So I just went doe it. Good results so far for the wire and the cotton.

It is a really nice piece, especially for 70 bucks. Make sure and juice the orings!

All over the place
I've converted to cotton, tension coil builds. Just wasn't getting enough balls with silica and ribbon :D Man ! What a huge difference !



Good to see ya' here, @Jimi D.

@HeiSINberg

This is important: When you put the deck on the mod, tighten that joker down with some twerk. If you do that one simple thing, your golden. It's a great atty, in spite of what you may've heard/read. ;)

$3 for 20 pads, insane lol. KGD has always been the same price. Maybe not in vape stores but in regular stores there wasnt the markup and eventual come down.

H,
what do you mean a lot of parts. I thought it was a four piece RDA lol. Its very beefy your right. Dont you also though wanna make sure your "deck screws" are tight Mr Mann? My buddy has one (thats how I was able to build it and try it etc) and he said even though it can be a touch "finicky" its easily his favroite attie ever. Hes really into crazy builds so I know one big thing FOR HIM is the posts but he also told me the flavor was insane. Once I tried it I was sold, I cant wait to get one. The sturdy posts and massive post holes just beg for an insane build haha.

I like all three: KGD, VCC and CB v2.

Toronto - about to order an Origen V3. I waited too long and the Snapdragon sold out at Coval Vapes. It was a little cheaper there than ordering directly from Eden Mods due to the overseas shipping. Oh well, maybe they will get them back in stock.

That sucks J. Im excited that your getting the Origen 3. I think your going to love it. Do a simple 24g N80 or KA1(this is just a reccomendation) vertical dual setup. I got a 9 wrap vertical setup that ohms at .24 in mine vapeing it on my copper SMPL right now with a fresh VTC4 and some Rocket Man by One Hit Wonder. Its an AMAZING vape, I keep it wide open and its just SO, SO GOOD! I cant stop gushing about this one, I like it even more then the Marquis and personally imo this is the best RDA I have used. It looks great, not to big or small, flavor is ridiculous and its one of the highest quality drippers I have seen.

When I said a lot of parts I meant everything, down to the screws, the o-rings, the 3 post deck and the bottom piece it separates from. I've just never seen so much. I just got a build in it. I will say for the first time the reverse threading wasn't all that bad....but it's not exactly ideal either, why they decided to do this is beyond me. It didn't work for the hobo v3 I'm not sure why they thought it would work for them. Just juicing it up now!

Exactly my thoughts. It's a mind boggling decision and why I'm gonna be selling mine. It's usable but completely unnecessary and feels tacked on to seem "innovative" when it's really not.

Just like mods that have a reverse threaded locking ring or button, you go to unscrew the button or lock the ring and you always end up unscrewing the button or locking the mod, it's dumb founding. It is beautiful, just from a first time thought though I think for a lot of people this feature would kill this atty.

Nah, mine's gold and no one seems to want that one. It was the best finish IMO but unfortunately no one seems to agree LOL

So H, does ya like it? Me and J already talked haha.
Yeah so far I'm enjoying it. Getting a little bit of spit back but that's nothing I haven't dealt with before, it's still my first build in it and I haven't really played around with the air flow. Flavor is great though and I love how much juice it holds.

Edit: I've closed off the smallest hole so only the 3 big holes are open on each side, and no spit back. Weird. But problem solved.

Just a FYI the SMPL+ released and sold out in under 24 hours. Nice lol.
