    Originally listed at FT as "OEM" then removed because of Footoon protesting. It was figured out that it was being made at the same factory as the originals. Well, based on the quality of what I have received, I have little doubt that it was.

    Probably the nicest threadings and overall quality of any RTA I've ever come across. Building on it was a breeze and it vapes very well. No leaks and no dry hits thus far. Adjustable airflow is easy to use and it can work well for direct lung hits. Closing it down richens up the flavor as you would expect.

    Speaking of flavor, it's too early to come to any conclusions and I need to try some more juices but I would put at least it in the same league as Erlkonigins and it may be close to the best flavor RTA I have in the Rose V2. However, early on here it doesn't seem quite as smooth in flavor producing as that RTA or the Aqua V1 which I thought was great. It's a bit cooler vape than both of those as well. Do need to use it longer to be more certain about these takeaways.

    Bonus is the included RDA piece. I'll have to try that out sometime. :)

    Oh and I need to get a good drip tip as most of my available ones just don't look right on it to me.

    Mentioned in another thread that I handled the Kayfun V4 while in KL and it's also built super-well. More components compared to the Aqua V2 but both appear to be equally well-machined!

    Vaped off a Russian V2 as well but only very briefly and didn't see how it was put together etc. but it looked really nice and the airflow has been improved quite a bit vs the older version.

    These atty makers have really stepped up their game! Still diggin' my Aqua V2.....next up a Ni200 build on it!

    Ha-ha! Hey, I totally lucked-out on the Aqua V2! I think the 1:1 clone at FT is much the same as what I got and if so I heartily recommend!

    Guess I would be envy worthy if I had reported that I came back from KL with all of the attys mentioned but sadly could not! I felt guilty enough with what I did end up getting. Absolutely killed my pocketbook. Almost pitiful the way I had to point out to myself that the things were a Christmas present to myself to help justify it all. Also sold one of my mods cut-rate on the spot while there to help mentally accept what I was doing. Crazy.

    I had read some good things about it and recall seeing a vid review a while back but cannot recall much. A different tank that uses nautilus coils? Will do a look-up to refresh memory.

    Got my v2 today. Lovely looking atty.

    Mine is a complete PoS though, the legs always go outside of the screw making a build a complete PiTA. I've tried holding a thin allen key in the holes, even 26ga, always happens with at least one leg (making sure i use holes directly opposite each other).

    FT can take another hit on this. Spent an hour on it and couldn't even manage to coils glowing and the one that did heat up did it incredibly slowly.

    Meanwhile I have had no major issues or any returns with FT.

    Knock on wood!! (I have written this too many times)

    Sorry to hear about your V2 Rick. I'm planning on getting another one. Really love the vape it gives, the air flow adjustability as well as the RDA option

    I've received the shitty end of the stick a fair bit recently. Was looking forward to trying this out too. Not a single mention of it on the forums but had seen it mentioned in a video. I'll open a ticket in the morning but I think I'll ask for a replacement because it's a stunning rba.

    In the meantime I think I'll just wrap around the screw heads, unless then I can try it out :D

    Rick in the meantime you can wrap your wire under the screwheads and you are good to go. The post are screwed on to the deck I also had prob with mine, but found out that one post was loose.

    I went that route this morning, now there seems to be another issue, voltage drop.

    I completely disassembled it last night and may not of screwed the positive post down tight enough, I can't remember and forgot to check this morning before I built it. It vapes alright but I have 4.9v going through it and the coils are taking too long to heat up.
    I'll finish the little juice I put in the tank before I look. I know I can remove the deck without needing to drain the tank but I just can't be bothered at the moment.
