Reviewer comments on business characteristics

A pretty look that may seem dark but in the end is quite bright and without frills… icing on the cake it will appeal to women… And that I love!
It is an atomizer that can have several configurations, with one or two resistors: classic or micro coil, SS or PPMA tank and assembly with tank or SS Dripper.
A judicious innovation.
I say it from the outset, I regret the absence of a drip-tip, especially at this price level ... but hey.

Rating of the vapelier as to feelings quality: 5 / 5 5 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

Some details on the size of the Aqua V2 which differs according to the desired ventilation or the tank used:
- For the SS tank its size varies between 43 and 45 mm for a weight of 66 g (without drip tip)
- For the PPMA tank, its size varies between 43 and 45 mm for a weight of 46 gr (without drip tip)
- For the dripper its size is 33.5 mm for a weight of 59 gr (without drip tip)
Too bad that no instructions can certify the materials that make up this atomizer, but we can see two different metals: stainless steel and chrome steel for the bell. A PMMA tank and an insulator under the base of the atomizer that protects the entire surface.

Functional features

  • Adjustable positive stud? Yes, through an adjustment by thread, the assembly will be flush in all cases
  • Presence of air flow regulation? Yes, and variable
  • Diameter in mms maximum of the air regulation possible: 3
  • Minimum diameter in mms of the air regulation possible: 0.5
  • Positioning of the air regulation: Positioning of the air regulation adjustable effectively
  • Spray chamber type: Chimney type
  • Heat dissipation of the product: Normal

Reviewer's comments on functional features

A 510 connection adjustable with the screw and which can be modified and adapted to an M20x hybrid connection. 
The regulation of the air flow is easily done by screwing and unscrewing the chimney from its base.
But as a dripper, no worries, this atomizer offers other ventilation possibilities on its top cap, allowing regulation of the important air flow.

Drip-Tip Features

  • Drip tip type: 510 Only
  • Presence of a Drip-Tip? No, the vapoteur will have to acquire a compatible drip-tip, in order to be able to use the product
  • 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

Given the quality and the price of the atomizer, its absence is frustrating, it's a shame!

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

Vapelier's note on packaging: 3 / 5 3 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

Presented in a pretty metal box with a certificate of authenticity and guarantee, it is unfortunate not to find any instructions for this product which offers several functions and whose materials used need to be identified by the user.

Appreciations in use

  • Transport facilities with the mod of the test configuration: Nothing helps, requires a shoulder bag

  • 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: 3.1 / 5 3.1 5 out of stars

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

The note takes into account the less comfortable configuration: double coil with a tank.
Obviously the manipulations are much easier with a single resistance for use in dripper
No leaks, no dry hits, but by titillating the atomizer a little it can happen, so:
A fairly precise atomizer, which requires the right balance between one or two resistors, the wick and the air flow.
The filling can only be done with a needle, even the fine tips of your bottles will not be suitable

Recommendations for use

  • What type of mod is it advisable to use this product with? Mechanical
  • Which mod model is it recommended to use this product with? the diversity of this atomizer allows it all
  • With which type of EJuice is it advisable to use this product? All liquids without problem
  • Description of the test configuration used: Aqua V2 on a Gus G22 in hybrid connection
  • Description of the ideal configuration with this product: It can marry with all mods 22mm diameter

Overall average of the Vapelier for this product: 4.4 / 5 4.4 5 out of stars

The mood ticket of the reviewer

Bravo for this atomizer!
If you prefer an aerial draft, choose a double coil, because the aeration is done simultaneously with the arrival of the liquid. The assembly is simple to achieve but you have to be careful when you pass the legs of your resistance in the stud, you have to aim straight.
For cotton, it suffices to install it in the channels which are wide enough (like the Aqua V1) without settling, this makes a clean and airy assembly, for a good restitution of flavors.

For filling, the tank is screwed on the bell which is well sealed, just turn it over and see the underside of the bell with its 4 small holes through which the liquid will slowly flow and feed the wick once in square. This is where we will fill the atomizer.
The tank is completely dependent on resistance. So you will understand, free access to resistance even with a full tank.
Only downside, the filling is done exclusively with a syringe because the passage is too thin for any other way to fill it.
Once everything is assembled, all you have to do is unscrew (as for the Aqua V1) the base of the bell to adjust the airflow to your liking. With wide possibilities.

If you like a tight draw, choose a single coil assembly, the flavor result is the same as in double coil! It will just be necessary to add a screw to close the airflow on the side where the resistance is absent, and to screw a little more the base of the bell to narrow the hole allowing the air intake. No need to fill in unused gutters.

Fans of drippers, will not be at all disappointed by the great possibility of ventilation, and the surprising little novelty: a top cap with a hole… eccentric!

With only one or two coils: no gurgling, no dry hit, a simple atomizer with excellent restitution of flavors, a distinguished look, a measured capacity of 4ml stack, an interchangeable tank, an instantaneous mutation in Dripper.

The 510 Connection stands out well and, on this Aqua V2, we have the possibility of unscrewing the 510 connection to transform it into a hybrid on a mod with a screw thread in the M20X1 format, without top cap. A small additional screw is supplied for this with the atomizer.
A beautiful atomizer that honors and overlooks many others. Pretty simple to see different configurations.

Accessible to beginners (who respect the balance of the assembly) as to the pros, it presents the most complete range of possibilities that I know. Hard to beat! I appreciated that this object comes with all the necessary gaskets in case of replacement, 5 additional screws in case of loss of the clamping screws of the coil, the same as those which block the air flow (practical) and a small part which is fixed under the atomizer in case of change of connection to hybrid.

The Aqua V2 is a chameleon.
