Reviewer comments on business characteristics
The simplest of reconstructable atomizers (dripper) has not finished renewing its variations. Aeronaut-Vapes has just proven to us that there is still potential for improvement for this type of material, with this all-stainless steel dripper, of an imposing size and original characteristics.
Its price, although higher than many of its colleagues, is justified by a very good quality of design and finish, which gives it a probable longevity without significant depreciation.
Let's look at it more closely.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
A very nice finish, durable materials and perfect machining. The filling is extremely simple since it suffices to remove the top cap / drip top assembly to do this. The AFC options assume that you will always have the box that came with it within reach, so that nothing is lost. The object is undoubtedly of very high quality, its use does not present any particular difficulty.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
A 41mm body, for 56g all in 304 and 316 L stainless steel, it's solid !. The top cap is topped by an adjoining mouthpiece impressive in diameter.
The 4,5mm holes, receiving the tubes used to constitute the airflows, are no less so. Four in number, they are placed in the upper part under the drip tip (4mm from the mouth entrance) on either side of the top cap, and under the resistance, perpendicular to the first, also crossing the plateau.
The latter is composed of mounting pads (machined in the mass for the negative) which are clamped with tabs provided for this purpose, the resistive is therefore not subjected to the guillotine effect of the mounting with drilled posts. The tray also consists of a 10mm deep tank that can accommodate 2,2ml of liquid in reserve.
2 O-rings ensure the maintenance of the top cap. The 510 connection as well as the resistive clamping screws are made of stainless steel like the AF tubes.
The manufacturing is neat, the threads are well machined, the brushed finish is perfect.
Drip-Tip Features
- Type of attachment of the drip-tip: Owner only
- Presence of a Drip-Tip? Yes, the vaper can immediately use the product
- Length and type of drip-tip present: Short
- Quality of the drip-tip present: Very good
Reviewer's comments on the Drip-Tip
Strictly speaking, there is no drip tip, but the extension of the top cap forms the mouthpiece with a useful 12 mm diameter. Rather short, it will provide all the vapors from the most conventional to the most ULR without heating, despite the material of which it is made (stainless steel).
An outside air supply provided by the upper AFC will allow you to ventilate the vapor produced, as well as to ensure its cooling if necessary.
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? Can do better
- Presence of a user manual? No
- Is the manual understandable for a non-English speaker? No
- Does the manual explain ALL features? No
Vapelier's note on packaging: 1.5 / 5 
Reviewer's comments on conditioning
The packaging is minimal, a rigid translucent plastic (PET) box that closes well, a foam pierced with the housings of the ato, the bag of spare parts and the Allen key, is fitted inside. No instructions for use and this is regrettable, even not in accordance with the legislation on objects of specific use in contact with an electrical source. The score obtained for this section is therefore justified. In this package you will find:
1 RDA Aeronaut (complete plate), 2 drilled tubes (AFC) 2 pre-drilled resistive clamping plates, 4 resistive clamping screws, 2 large O-rings (top cap / plate connection), 4 thin O-rings (insulation of the positive post), 1 Allen key.
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 but requires a workspace
- Filling facilities: Easy, even standing in the street
- 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? It will take a little juggling, but it is doable
- 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: 3.1 / 5 
Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
The Aeronaut of the test was entrusted to me by our columnist Toff, whom Vapelier enthusiasts know well. He had the very good idea to send it to me assembled, with a SC Kanthal of 3mm internal diameter in the form of a Clapton coil crossed by a cotton capillary.
Recognized at 0,63 ohm, it therefore passed the test on the Efusion (Lost Vape) with a light juice, the cirKus Vape Juggler.
The 510 connection is apparently adjustable, and the manufacturer is advised to carry out the operation before assembly, I see no other solution than to operate a lever movement with a mini flat screwdriver under the pin positive, pressing on the edge of the connector to perform this manipulation, which I did without, because the original assembly was perfectly suitable.
I played the all-air entry card, leaving the tube pierced with 4 slots directed towards the resistance and placed at the top, and of course I positioned the tube with an oblong vent under the resistance.
This assembly is adjustable by rotating the top cap which causes the progressive and simultaneous closing / opening of the 4 fixed air inlet ports. To change it, all you have to do is drive out one tube with another.
The juice being not very powerful and the assembly not generating excessive heat at 25 / 30W I obtained a very satisfactory result by blocking the vents by half. Really very good, a warm / cold vape for dense vapor production (in 50/50).
There is therefore a whole range of AFC adjustment, depending on whether or not you use the upper tube, depending on which pierced tube you use (flow question), and how you operate to limit or increase the air supply. .
The assembly does not pose a problem, the place and the arrangement of the stations are studied for the ease and the facility of execution, The double coil of the photo comes from an assembly published on the site of the manufacturer.

The mood ticket of the reviewer
Here is one more dripper which lacks neither originality nor qualities. With its 2,2ml reserve, it oscillates between the genesis formula (tank at the bottom) and the pure dripper of which it retains the main characteristic: the proximity between the heating and the draft.
Not a leak occurred during the three days of the test, and I must say that it is a plus for this category of atomizer, it makes it all the more attractive if you want to take it with you in prolonged “nomadic” activity.
Since you have to bitch a bit, I will say in conclusion, that I found it a bit heavy on a hybrid mech like the Nemesis and that I did not really find a way to adjust the positive pin, and… .. that a user manual is missing.
But to be honest, I found this ato efficient, functional and I know from experience that it will be reliable over time, due to the simplicity of its components and the quality of the materials used.All consumable parts are delivered duplicate in this package you can see coming. The connectivity is good, its AFC design makes it compatible with all kinds of assemblies and therefore of vapes, in short, it is a safe bet for a fair price. It does not lack much to become a top ato, a little packaging effort with its instructions and it would have been the case.
See you soon.
