Reviewer comments on business characteristics
The Cyclone AFC is a Filipino dripper that we owe to the Vicious Ant brand which, in a few months, has forged a good reputation for the quality of these products. This dripper is clearly positioned as a test tool rather than a cloud generator. But the fact that it accepts a double resistance (on two pads only) and that it has two airflow openings allows it all the same to play the locomotives when the malice of the vapoteur gets involved.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality
This dripper is small, as you will have noticed. But the finish is remarkable. We even feel the concern to offer a neat aesthetic with scarifications in the metal. We can just regret the screwing device on the studs which, if it is of good quality, includes female allen screws requiring the corresponding key, fortunately delivered with it. The dimension of this key being difficult to find in France, it is better to avoid losing it. The results are nevertheless very positive for the quality of manufacture which exudes robustness.

Reviewer's comments on functional features
It is very easy to adjust the two airflows by rotating the outer wall around the inner wall. The quality of the machining makes this movement fluid and it is easy to find the air flow that will suit you. The evaporation chamber is small, which bodes well for better aromatic concentration. Once again, we can tell that the dripper has been designed for flavors. It does not heat up excessively for this type of material and the two O-rings at the base of the plate ensure that the bell is held foolproof.
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
The drip-tip shines especially by its absence. On the other hand, it accepts almost all 510 drip-tips. With a preference all the same for those equipped with a double seal. The drip-tips equipped with a single seal do not ensure, on this atomizer, a sufficiently effective maintenance.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning
The conditioning is a big joke. We end up with a cardboard box so light that it will arrive in your letterbox completely flattened even if your supplier has taken the precaution of wrapping it with as many bubbles as in a glass of beer. You almost only have to look at the box for it to collapse. In addition, the design of the box, bearing the image of the brand's logo, is very ugly. We see that no one at the manufacturer has really asked the question of making a case to match the product or even its price claims. Almost ridiculous at this point ...

Vapelier's note on ease of use: 4 / 5 
Reviewer's comments on the use of the product
A priori, a dripper is not really made to accompany you on your outings, at work or in a nightclub (your choice). If necessary, it is so small that it will easily be forgotten. On the other hand, like any dripper, it will of course have to be given to drink frequently given its reduced autonomy.
Recommendations for use
- With which type of mod is it advisable to use this product? Electronics AND Mechanics
- What mod model is it recommended to use this product with? A good mechanical mod.
- With which type of EJuice is it advisable to use this product? All liquids without problem
- Description of the test configuration used: Mechanical mod Vanilla + Cyclone AFC in 0.7Ω mounted in kanthal 0.40 on 2mm in single coil + all kinds of liquids
- Description of the ideal configuration with this product: The icing on the cake would be to marry it to a mod in 14500, type Nemi. Works great whether it's single or dual coil.

The mood ticket of the reviewer
Although it is possible for it to release relatively impressive clouds thanks to its possibility of dual-coils with the corresponding airflows, this dripper was first designed for the restitution of flavors. This is evidenced by the narrowness of its evaporation chamber allowing better concentration of aromas.
In this case, it will be a providential help for those who practice Diy by allowing them to have an increased acuity in their cooking. The rendering is very sharp, surgical. Perhaps too much to be really appreciable as a daily vape (the precision at this point does not bother with a rendering of “comfort”) but this precision makes it precious for the concoction of your potions. Indeed, any recipe that will be good on this dripper will be magnified on any other more voluptuous atomizer.
It should be noted that use in single coil is provided by the easy locking of one of the two airholes. It is also in this configuration, without bringing too much air, that it seemed to me the most effective.
This dripper is a tool, a test utility or creation, and not a fleshy atomizer and fun generator. But just for that and because this type of dripper is increasingly rare, I strongly advise those who have this type of need.
