Reviewer comments on business characteristics
The Darang V2 from GP Custom is a pretty little two-tone Dripper (black and polished steel) with a sort of badge engraved with the name of the atomizer in relief.
Its top cap is provided with a double wall, its base adapts to a hybrid connection on some mods (in 20 x 0.5) and on each side of the plate, there are two large tanks serving as small tanks for an autonomy greater than that of a classic dripper. Not to mention the fact that the Darang is a “Performer”.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
A beautiful atomizer, well machined with impeccable threads, the relief engraving is magnificent. The manufacturer even thought of the detail at the level of the studs, by drilling a larger opening on the positive stud (for the double passage of the wire) compared to the negative studs.
The two tanks for the juice reserve are very large and have a depth of 5mm.
The joints are perfectly sealed and ensure perfect support: nothing moves!
The positive contact is copper and the pin is a silver plated screw.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
-The 510 connection with a pin adjustable by a silver-plated screw ensures excellent conductivity, associated with the positive copper contact.
-The base which is unscrewed to adapt the dripper on a mod meca in 20 X 0.5 for a hybrid connection makes it possible to reduce the size of the setup of 5mm approximately.
-On the board, the positive block has an opening larger than the negative pads, which makes it possible to pass two widths of son more easily than on the other classic drippers.
-The airflow is taken by two large exterior “cyclops” openings of 9mm x 1.5mm, located on the top of the tank and three airflows of the same size on the inside of the tank located on the bottom of the tank. You will understand it is a double wall dripper. The advantage of this system is twofold: dissipating the heat of the steam, but also avoiding having a setup that leaks as soon as you layer it, but is it really effective? We will see this in use.
-The tank is in two parts, the body with its double wall and the top cap which allows to block the adjustment of the airhole
-We also have on this atomizer, a double tank acting as a reservoir which is quite deep (5mm high) and which easily accommodates more than a milliliter of liquid. Thus, we keep a small autonomy much greater than that of a classic dripper.
Drip-Tip Features

- Length and type of drip-tip present: No drip tip present
- Quality of the present drip-tip: No present drip tip
Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip
Too bad for the absence of a drip tip which could very well have completed this little gem in style. For the price, this was not superfluous.
Evaluation of the packaging
- Presence of a box accompanying the product: Yes
- Would you say that the packaging is up to the price of the product? Yes
- Presence of a user manual? No
- Is the manual understandable for a non-English speaker? No

Vapelier's note on packaging: 2 / 5 
Reviewer's comments on conditioning
A packaging as I like, "small wooden box" style accompanied by an Allen key for screwing and unscrewing the screws on the studs.
The bottom of the cash register is marked with the serial number of the atomizer. Here is a Philippine packaging which has its charm without being in a luxurious packaging. We have something solid and charming.
No instructions are provided and again, I regret this absence when we are faced with a product about which there is so much to say.
Appreciations in use
- Transport facilities with the mod of the test configuration: Ok for an external jacket pocket (no deformations)
- Disassembly and cleaning facilities: Easy, even standing in the street, with a simple tissue paper
- Filling facilities: Super simple, even blind in the dark!
- Easy to change resistors: Easy but requires a workspace to lose nothing
- Is it possible to use this product throughout the day with several vials of EJuice? Yes perfectly
- Was there leak after one day of use? No
- In the event of leaks during tests, descriptions of the situations in which they occurred
Vapelier's note on ease of use: 4 / 5 
Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
A product that is relatively easy to use and to assemble in single or double cotton coils (or other). The top is easily accessible and the pedestals raised to facilitate assembly. This large hole on the positive stud allows a double pass of 0.4mm kanthal (for example) without any difficulty.
The airflows are extremely wide and for fans of the very air, it is a pleasure in sub-ohm because the heat is well dissipated. On the other hand, as soon as we close the airflows a little for a tighter draw, we quickly feel the lack of ventilation and the temperature of the vape suffers. So for those who want to close the airhole a bit, it is better to use higher resistance values. This will not prevent this big cloud maker from working efficiently. It is a “Performer” which, in addition to rendering the flavors divinely well, also allows you to make (in VG mainly) a big vapor appreciated by some Geeks.
Cyclops eccentric between the inside of the tank wall and the outside allow to dissipate the heat, certainly, but also to avoid juice leaks as soon as you sleep setup. This principle is effective only if the tanks are almost empty or if the setup does not stay very long as well. In general, this system is sensible and effective.

The mood ticket of the reviewer
The Darang is a cotton micro coil atomizer that has all the qualities of a good dripper without the disadvantages of combustion chamber atomizers with bell and tank.
It wisely combines the two principles to arrive at an excellent compromise: ease of use / ease of assembly / restoration of flavors / big clouds.
All in a compact object, well finished (except for the drip tip 😡) and aesthetically successful.
All of the features listed above therefore correspond to well thought out and effective features.
In love with this new version of Darang?… ..A little bit anyway, yes!
