RDA Veritas rda

[Raguvian]

I've been really enjoying my Veritas on my new ipv Mini. I got a Big Dripper and found that the short, wide drip tip from the Big Dripper works really nicely.

(sorry for the crummy pic)



I have it set at 1.5 ohms and 15 watts. It is so tasty!

The hybrid definitely lowers tge voltage drop. It was the only way I would use my StingrayX (may she rest in peace).
I'm using a panzer right now that unfortunately doesn't have a hybrid option.

It'll do for now. Gonna be grabbing a Sig 100w soon enough.

By the way, that BD tip looks great on the V.

Thanks! For some reason the BD tip works better on the Veritas and the Veritas drip tip that came with my clone works better on the BD. Go figure.

Great looking rig. Me likey.

Glad to help with the nem adapter idea, JD. I too notice improved performance. I think some of the improved conductivity also comes from he fact that you're screwed into the mods tube threading itself. Current does flow through the body of the mod so maybe that also has something to do with it, in addition to the contact points of course.

My last one I paid the extra buck or so for tracking with usps and it took 10 days, this one I paid the same but choose China post just to see if there was a difference. It could just be a fluke but I'll be oping for China post for my next order lol.

This one also came through Chicago, IL, took 3 days to get to Chicago and 3 to get to me. Last time was 5 days to Chicago, and 5 days on to me.

FT has been crazy fast lately. My two latest orders both took 10 and 11 days (us post). Not too shabby. Also, I spliced off half of one of the orders because of packing delays. Went with china post on that and only took 2 or three extra days (the packing delay ended up only being about half a day lol).

Do it schnobbler! You're gonna love the sigelei. I've got the plus and man o man does it rip.

Panzer surprised me. It hits hard for a SS mod. I think the overall heft and diesel threading of it helps conductivity. And of course the brass contacts don't hurt. I'm fairly impressed with my panzer.

 

[sclobernocker47]

I will for sure. I'm eyeballing the plus. I've used a buddys OG sig 100 and I love it. I'm out of town right now, but will probably picl one up when I get home in feb.

I dont have one but I have done massive research on this RDA. Its not a cloud producer from what I have seen it only has one 3 mm air hole so if you want big billowing clouds this is probably not for you. If you are into flavor chasing than this is is probably for you. It has a single air hole that dumps air directly onto your coil set up and has a closed top chamber for better flavor everything about this RDA is built for flavor production . The building area is tight and has its positive terminal on top and the negative posts are lower which can be a challenge when building a set up to use. I am sure if you are after flavor this will not be a bad choice. Just for S and G's i am getting the Magma its also a huge flavor chasing gem it has dual coil set ups with holes directly under the coils you can also set it up to do single coil and only use one set of air holes with crazy deep wells I was told by a buddy he gets 40 drops into the well for extended dripping sessions . He says he has never got flavor like he does on anything else. Good luck to you , Remi Love

 

[sclobernocker47]

While you won't get HUGE clouds, its not like it doesn't produce. Its still great output.

If you're looking for a dual coil flavor/cloud compromise, I'd recommend the Plume Veil. Irs my other favorite RDA. flavor is great. Clouds are great. With a double positive post, its tge easoest RDA I've ever built on.

Only drawback to, it is the shallow deck. Nothing near magma size.

for me personally, the magma aint got nothin on the veritas in terms of flavor. veritas blows it away (for me) YMMV
also, the 'tas is almost damn near leak proof. the magma? not so much. my magma leaks like a sieve if i bring it anywhere. but i still like it, dont get me wrong. magma is up there in terms of my faves, just not quite as good as the 'tas. or the venturi. or origen for that matter. those things freekin rocks socks all day.

Ehhh honestly I think the veritas and magma are tied as far as all around attys. They both have benefits but both also have flaws. Benefit of the veritas is no leaking first and foremost. Benefit of the magma is an easy to build dual coil with a FAT juice well. Design flaws for the veritas is the stupid positive post design that while adding more build options, makes builds more difficult than they really need to be (along with contributing to literally all the other flaws). It also has the much larger drawback to me of splitting the airflow before it hits the coil, making it so the air doesn't hit directly head on. Design flaws for the magma is the airflow holes lying flush on the deck, allowing juice condensate that runs down the side to get in to them and leak, condensate can also make its way down the threads and leak (although this is fixable with a simple o-ring, really should have been included in the box so you wouldn't have to deal with finding a proper one.)

As far as performance, even though the veritas IS dual coil capable, it really performs the best with a single horizontal coil properly positioned in relation to the air hole. I have tried literally every other build; single vertical, dual vertical, dual horizontal, and without a doubt the single horizontal gives me the best performance as far as flavor goes. It really comes down to the single coil being able to get the most airflow around it due to not having to share the space in front of the air hole with another coil. This is the main reason I think the positive post should just be eliminated, just changing the other negative to the positive would make builds a whole hell of a lot easier while simultaneously getting rid of the split airflow issue. The juice well also needs to be refilled a bit too much while in dual coil (juice sucking) mode so it's really a double negative to even have the feature IMO. As far as performance related to a magma, the veritas in single coil mode is better than a single coil in the magma. However, the magma in dual coil mode I would say is vastly superior to dual coils in the veritas and it comes down to each coil being able to have individual direct airflow channels per coil, so they aren't forced to share one. This allows both of the coils to get significantly better airflow around them and produce better flavor/ vapor. The XL juice well in the magma also facilitates using the high demanding dual coils as you don't need to refill nearly as often.

Overall, I get slightly better performance with the dual coil magma vs the single coil veritas. BUT the veritas has the benefit of not having to worry about leaks while on the go. Both, with some tweaking could easily become the best single and dual coil devices for people that love going after the best flavor. If the veritas changes up the positive post design, and the mama raises its airholes/includes an o ring I would easily consider them as the two champions of their class. Just with one being a single and one being a dual coil focused device. This is the only real issue I have with RiP, he is the go to guy when it comes to single coils and performance when it's a device that is more aligned to single coil but has a dual option. But with ones that are dual coil focused with a single coil option, he always only goes with a single coil on them not showing the true intention/potential of the atty (he did this with the billow review too). Maybe it's just me but I LIKE that there are attys more purpose built to single and to dual. Sometimes I want to hit a really good single coil and other times a really good dual. I would rather have two devices purpose built for each option than have one that tries to do it all but is really only at its full potential with one.

That's how I feel about it at least.

Well, I have been thinning out my gear and one atty I am keeping and use every day…in fact, I am using it right now…is the Veritas. I love it and in 4 years of rebuilding I don't think I have had an easier atty to rebuild. The fact I can throw a single strand of 26 on there, tighten it down, wrap the coils, seat them vertically, give them a pulse and squeeze and wick it up makes it stellar in and of itself. But, the fact that leaking only happens when you totally overfill it, it produces amazing flavor and great, dense vapor makes it a favorite. On my Big Bully box by DogMods, it's the only RDA I can safely carry in my pocket and not really worry about it leaking all over my pockets. I have been through too many attys to count and this one, for me, is one of the best designed ones out there. Truly is a simple, unique and totally functional design. My Stillares, Tobh, Plume Veil, TugBoat, Origen V2 and Hobo 2.1 all get less use than my Veritas for kanthal/nichrome builds.

I can say that building it with a single horizontal coil is not nearly as good as dual verticals, and I usually prefer single coil builds. The flavor is muted and the vape, to me, is not as good with the single horizontal coil. The horizontal build is also harder to do and takes more time than vertical duals. I'm a fan as you can tell. If you are on the fence on this atty and are looking for a solid RDA, I would recommend this one, especially if you are already pretty skilled at building coils. This one is a classic design and it just plain works, no frills just solid performance and particularly great flavor. Flavor is outstanding. The Plume Veil is a bit better to me with some juices because of the airflow options through the posts and the top, but overall the Veritas is a winner.

Veritas has a reputation as being hard to build on. I think it is as easy as anything I've built.

I agree. It's one of the easier RDAs to build on. Just use the right method and it's cake. I can build it faster than my other attys. I do think that someone new to RDAs may find it harder, but maybe I'm wrong there.

I run dual vertical coils on mine, and I think it's a real PITA! Wicking them isn't a walk in the park either.

edit: my first build was a big single. If I remember right, it was pretty simple

 

[sclobernocker47]

I wouldn't call it one of the easiest. Its definitely different, and I think it gets a bad rap because you can't approach it the same way you do most others. That said, having thumb screws instead of the nut up top would go a long way.

Personally, I thing any traditional double coil deck that has independent positive posts lile the plume veil are by far the easiest builds.

Don't let that take away from the V though. Its top notch.

I like that you can make a dual coil from a single strand of wire and you don't have to have the multiple legs shares the same screw. For this reason, I think dual coils on a Veritas is easier than most RDAs.

That's exactly it. One short strand of wire, a drill bit or mandrel, some tweezers and something to cut the wire with and you are good to go. You can do a "sleeper build" using a single strand of wire on 3 post RDAs to the same effect, but the build is much harder to do and do well. That also gives you dual coils with a single strand of wire but 20-30 minutes likely instead of 5-10 with the Veritas.

Yeah, if there was a knurled nut at the top to get tight by hand and no need to fiddle with that tiny nut, it would be much better. You are so right on that. A lot of gennys have a knurled nut like that that would likely work better on the Veritas. I wonder what the specs of the center "post" screw on the Veritas are so you could get a different nut on the top that would make it easier to finger tighten?
