Reviewer comments on business characteristics

The SkyFall is an original atomizer, it is both a dripper and an atomizer with a tank (RDA and RTA) that feeds your wick by a pump effect that you activate during its use.
It is divided into two main parts, the dripper on the top of the atomizer and the tank with its bottom feeder function, the liquid is sucked by the pumping action.
Rather original, with a nice look…. let's take a look at the facts.

Reviewer's comments on physical characteristics and perceived quality

Its size remains correct, but its weight is not slender with more than 83g. For filling, I did not manage to enter the advertised 5ml but only 4ml. The materials are rather well chosen, the machining is quite correct and the pyrex is medium (neither too thick nor too thin). However the red seals positioned on both sides of the tank are very fragile and tend to cut quickly.
The number of parts is higher than the common atomizers, but it is also due to its particularity (RTA / RDA / botttom Feeder).
We are on a medium range in terms of quality.

Reviewer's comments on functional features

Several functions with this atomizer, the first is this "metamorphose" into RDA (dripper). For this you will need to change the pin by the screw provided, nothing easier with a simple flat screwdriver.

skyfall_pin_dripper
Its tray is comfortable and extremely wide because the studs are well spaced. It can accommodate two resistors built with large diameter son if you wish, since the housing for the legs of the resistance is really big, so no worries about it.

KODAK Digital Still Camera
The bell of the dripper has two openings on each side for airflow that can be adjusted by rotating the ring so as to have one or two openings or even reduce them. The originality is located on this bell which allows to position the air flows on the bottom or on the top of the atomizer according to your preferences. However, be careful, if you choose to place your air-flows on the top, only the top cap with the drip tip provided will be suitable as it is equipped with notches for air circulation. The drip-top contrario does not allow this circulation.

For the atomizer function, simply adapt on the dripper the screw equipped with a hole in its center and screw the assembly to the tank, the handling is rather simple except that before screwing the two parts it is necessary to think of fill the tank by the small central hole and adjust the screw that is around this hole axis to have a contact between the two elements (tank-Dripper).

For the Bottom feeder function, it is the feeding of your wick by a pump effect that you activate during its use by pressing the ring provided for this purpose. The handling is simple and effective but it will be necessary at the beginning, to make several pumping for the priming so that the liquid arrives correctly on the plate.
The atomizer pin is not adjustable.

Drip-Tip Features

  • Type of drip-tip attachment: Owner but passage to 510 through a supplied adapter
  • 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

Here is a product that offers two top-caps, one with a 510 drip-tip and the other is a drip-top.
Both are short, sober and elegant. This does not change the look of the atomizer but allows to have a "normal" vape or aerial sub-ohm. The proposal is appreciable and the quality too.

Reviewer's comments on conditioning

In a transparent hard plastic box, the notice is placed on the bottom of the container. So she can be read through this one.
The explanations are relatively basic but nevertheless almost sufficient. However, think of equipping yourself with a magnifying glass because everything is condensed. If not I can also join you the enlargement of the explanatory drawings.
supplied in the box, a packet of organic cotton, spare gaskets, ready-to-use resistors spare screws with an interchangeable screw for the dripper and an additional spring.

Reviewer's comments on the use of the product

For the dripper there is nothing to say in particular, it is simple and practical, dual-coil and sub-ohm assemblies are perfectly suited to this product, with a consequent air flow for flavors quite correct and that in both positions of the bell.
Be careful when mounting your resistors, do not place too close to the center of the tray, because the top cap chimney with the drip-tip could touch them and this contact would create a short circuit.

skyfall_chiminéeskyfall_position_ouvertures
Where I had some small difficulties, it is at the level of the separation between the tank and the dripper which requires that one maintains the connection 510 of the atomizer with the dripper to unscrew them. The manipulation is sometimes muscular.

The connection between the different parts is also episodic, since the atomizer pin is fixed. It is necessary to find the right adjustment of the intermediate screw which requires an adjustment. Despite this I had to pull a little on my pin with a tiny screwdriver to bring out the latter.

skyfall_vis_reglageskyfall_pin
The red tank seals are very fragile, be careful when closing your tank as they tend to move, get pinched and cut.
Filling: It remains simple with a fine tip that we have on PET bottles or using a syringe, but be careful when your tank is emptied, before refilling it, the pump effect creates air pressure in the tank that can prevent you from receiving the liquid, remember above all to depressurize before refilling the tank, by bringing air into the tank.

KODAK Digital Still Camera
For the use of the bottom feeder, it is powerful, after a small quick start, the liquid arrives correctly on the board, it is not easy to think of pumping when we are not used to it, but this system is effective.

The vapor produced can be important depending on your assembly, I had no liquid leaks and the flavors are not exceptional but are quite correctly restored.

The mood ticket of the reviewer

Whether in single coil, double coil with thin or thick son, this atomizer is rather nice. The pumping system, we like or do not like, but it's a different way to use your atomizer, with which it will adapt (or not).
I appreciate the principle of modifying a dripper atomizer but the chosen approach is not very simple in everyday use.
In addition, the liquid reserve announced of 5ml is only 4ml with still practically 1ml lost at the end of the tank that I have not managed to vape since the system can no longer suck the bottom of the tank. So count on 3.5 ml instead.
The insulation between the different parts is very good and allows you to vape on great powers. The approach chosen to block your resistors, this is done with a Phillips screwdriver and is very convenient as the place on the dripper.
The restoration of flavors is good but not exceptional, we are on a product that corresponds to its mid-range price.
