I was given the Vandy vape Pulse V2 from sourcemore for the purpose of this review.
The Pulse V2 is a cool squonk mod with some unique features. It’s a bottom fill. It works with an app to find the device, and do upgrades. And it allows you to switch off modes so you don’t see them when you scroll through the menu.
In the box, you’ll find:
The Pulse V2
Two squeeze bottles, one installed, plus a spare
C type charge cord
18650 battery adapter
User manual for the mod, instructions for the My Device app, and warranty card
And some weird metal thing that looks like a tiny shoehorn.
The Pulse V2 can be used with a 21700, 20700, or 18650 battery, and the power out put is 5-95W, 0.5-6.0V. The bottle holds 7 ml, and it’s filled via a screw cap on the bottom of the mod.
Modes include watts, voltage, bypass, and temp control with all the usual suspects, NI, SS, TI.
The menu is easy:
Five clicks of the Power button to turn it on and off.
Power plus Up to lock/unlock the Up/Down buttons – it does not lock the fire button.
Power plus Down to flip the screen upside down. Why? Who knows. Easier to read while filling?
Three fast clicks of Power will access changing modes, then use the Up/Down buttons to scroll.
Up plus Down to access the control menu -
Function Setting allows you to turn off modes and the app
Hibernate adjusts sleep time from 2-30 minutes
Brightness (self explanatory)
Puff counter reset
Replace UI offers six colors for your screen; red, blue, green, light blue, purple, brown.
Info – software version and motherboard number.
App – view the QR code to download.
Reset to restore factory settings.
When the mod is in TC, the menu will also have the option to set the resistance.
Scroll down to Return and click Power to exit.
Vandy Vape offered no clue as to what the intended purpose of the tiny shoehorn might be, but I used it to pull the bottle out. Both the plastic ends of the bottle unscrew, and while the whole assembly slides out fairly easily, pulling it out from the top cap seems like it would be less stress on it.
So far, no leaks from the bottle assembly or the fill cap, but I do wonder how all of that will hold up. Seems like a lot of potential for trouble for very little gain.
The bottom fill cap has a pull out flap for easier opening, and the flap has a Goldilocks magnet, strong enough to keep the flap up, easy enough to pull down and keep down. Filling this way is awkward though. The cap is small, and it’s all covered in juice, so it’s not easy to sit it down without getting juice on the surface where you set it, and exposing the juice to that surface in turn. And you can’t set the mod down, either. I’ve made the mistake of taking the cap off the mod before taking the cap off the juice, and finding myself with not enough hands to do the job.
The doors have nice beefy magnets and fit beautifully. No wiggles or rattles or falling off.
The positive/negative are designated with a big white + and - .
Mine is the black obsidian color, and I really like the textured doors and murdered out aesthetic. It also comes in sky blue, flame red, and rainbow. I’ve heard there might be replacement panels available at some point, haven’t found any myself, but I would love to have some.
It’s a bit large in hand, at 82.3×28.4×54.7mm, but not huge for a 21700 mod, and not uncomfortable or awkward. The gently curved back and rounded corners make it very ergonomic, and it has a large, convenient squonk hole.
The chip offers no tweaking of TC settings, but I used it is SS and found it very satisfactory. A turn-off for those of you who enjoy customizing, but as a lazy vaper, I prefer when stuff just works and I don’t have to goof with it. I actually find all the modes work really well and I get a nice full hit that’s not too hot regardless of how I set it.
I haven’t tried it with an 18650, because if I’m going to hold a mod big enough for a 21700, that’s what I’m going to use. And the battery life has been great.
This one’s a winner for me.
Thanks, Sourcemore for the opportunity to review and enjoy this mod.
