Have been using it for over 2 weeks. Love that it never leaks. I have dripped more than 20 drops sometimes, just to test its limits and it never leaks. Also thought it might gurgle, but nothing that can be inconvenient, just the first hit might be a tighter drag due to liquid blocking airholes.

As far as builds, loved it with 28g single very good flavor and vapor. Tried to close one airhole with wet cotton wad but it was worse, instead even with single coil both airholes open was the best way to go. Also tried twisted 34g Ni200 @ 0.19 with temp control. Great flavor but twisted coils spluttered too much and noisy. Initially I thought was getting ridiculously excellent flavor but took a few moments to realize that I was actually tasting eliquid in my mouth.:ohmy:

Currently running dual 26g @0.3 on rDNA40 at 36W. Decent clouds and flavor and not to mention a warm vape.

I just got a clone of the Venturi yesterday and so far I'm really liking it. I built mine last night with 6 wraps dual coil using 24 gauge Kanthal around a 2.4mm screw driver at around .25 ohms. I have the same build in my Magma right now but built on a little larger drill bit and although it's still a little too soon to tell for me, I feel I am getting similar flavor or possibly even better with the Venturi.

Looks pretty slick in hybrid mode on my Stingray X using the classic cap and the Stingray drip tip, the heat sink flows perfect with the contour of the drip tip. :2cool:

Nice; that's another example I've seen of recent rda's coming out that take airflow from the top, and bring it down the side to enter and hit the coil then go back up.

No leaks;

and this one has no o-rings;

ive had the authentic for about 3 months.

I can say it is pretty perfect other than the fact that if you overdrip you will get alot of gurgling and maybe hot juice in your mouth.

The well also really isnt all that big. If i drip more than 10 drops I will get gurgling.

The other bad thing is the centerpost is pretty wonky and makes builds extremely tedious. I have snapped 2 authentic centerposts already. They become weaker and weaker every build you do so be careful not to torque down on it like crazy.

But it truly is the only leak proof dripper I have used which is why its my all day carry.

I am still playing with how to build it perfectly. I usually run 6 wrap 24g 0.3-0.4 ohms on a mech. However, things change as you place the coils closer to the cyclops air slit. I have found that trying to put the coils extremely near the air slit will mellow out your vape and produce more vapor. If you raise the coil farther up from it the vape becomes hotter and gives more of a throat hit.

I have built with almost every gauge from 24 / 25 / 26 / 27 / 28 on it and 24 gauge really makes a difference with flavour. It just pops with 24g.


Im not sure if any of this rings true for the clone, who knows the clone maker might have even improved on it.
