Hi again, everybody! Today I have the Vandy vape Pyro V4 RDTA which sourcemore sent me for the purpose of this review.
Previously, I reviewed the Pyro V2 and thoroughly enjoyed it. The V4 offers the same great flavor and vapor production but is easier to use.
In the box you get:
Included in the accessories is a squonk pin. I haven’t used it yet because the 5ml tank is plenty, but I’m glad to have it and surely will put it to use.
The reason I said this version is easier to use than the V2 is this cap is blank inside. It has no posts to match up with holes in the deck, it just pops right on any old way. And the nice chunky knurling on top makes it super easy to adjust the airflow. Plus this deck is very roomy. It probably would do alright with a single coil, but I feel like dual coils are really the way to go here, unless you like a monster coil.
This one is a side fill, and the port is one of those really tiny ones, so you will need a needle-nosed bottle to fill it. That’s not my favorite thing, but it does work well and I’ve had no leaking.
There are two large air holes, and it closes down surprisingly tightly. The cap spin is firm, and I do not have any unintentional adjustments. Very nice, smooth air, even fully open. The air comes in through the sides, under the deck, and completely surrounds the coils from all sides and below. The deck is postless and the screws are big, beefy Phillips heads. Super easy to put coils in. And at 25.5mm wide, there’s plenty of room. I’ve got two 3.0mm ID coils in it and they’re not crowded at all.
The included coil guide is marked at 8mm. That seemed extreme to me so I cut mine at 6.5. I now think 8mm would have been fine, as there is a lot of clearance in the cap. But I’m getting a very satisfying amount of flavor and vapor as-is, and I think it’s a little cooler with the extra distance.
I can’t find anything to dislike about this RDTA. What some might call cons can be someone else’s pro. I mean, it’s wide. It won’t fit on every mod. But the width allows for it to hold a reasonable amount of juice without being quite a bit taller – unlike some RDTAs, the V4 looks pretty proportionate. And I’m not a fan of the tiny side fill, but it does work just fine without leaking, and eliminates the need for cap posts to plug deckside fill holes. It doesn’t have wicking rods, which I do like, but that do make it more fiddly to assemble, and also take up valuable juice real estate. So if it needs a little swish once in a while that’s not a deal-breaker for me. I haven’t gotten any dry hits.
If you’d like to try The Pyro V4 for yourself, use the code PV4R to get it for $20.59 at Sourcemore.
