Pulse AIO Kit - Vandyvape

And whats your verdict?

Great. The Vessel tank is far better than a few BB tanks/bridges I’ve used and, if manufactured for BBs, would have cost almost as much as the entire kit. Stock coils are good, again far better than much of what’s already available.

It is pretty chunky, but if you’re used to a Pulse, you’ll be happy with the feel. Plastics are good quality, fit and finish likewise good. Currently running a 0.33 ohm fused Clapton at 35W since last night and the battery is still reading as full. This is an absolute winner.

Isolating the chip and screen is a direction BB should have taken years ago. Good move by TonyB.

Typical of BB styles, as a lefty I have to be careful not to obscure the airflow as I knuckle fire with my thumb. The drip tip is comfortable enough, but not a thing of beauty. Those are my only ‘complaints’.

I’m not mad about the coloured ones and went for the frosted clear - there could well be a plain black in future as well if this continues to perform.

Non-BB users! Like all AIOs, this is a jack-of-all-trades device. There are better flavour machines, better cloud machines, more compact, cheaper and aesthetically better devices out there, but this kit is great at what it does and what it is. 10/10.

So as an ex-bb user and big fan and someone full of regret for selling his bb this is a bloody good replacement then?

It doesn’t have the mystique, but objectively I think it’s better. Certainly not nearly as heavy on the wallet!

Do it!

I’m keen.

only 152 days left until payday in January!!
 
New frosted panels. Also splurged a bit on new fused claptons from Fydo. Ive found my happy place with the RBA boro

This is the type of feedback one needs when considering a device. Thanks.

When reading the responses one often gets the impression that the AIO in question does everything perfectly. If it did everything that @DavyH mentioned (and more) at a near-perfect level then getting it would be a no-brainer. It would be the mod/kit/device to end all others.

If an AIO is a jack of all trades device it would imply that it is a master of none. Is this true wrt the Pulse AIO? Is there one area where it can be said to be at the "top level"? Perhaps it shines in more than one area?

Having said all of :)this, it remains very tempting.

No its definitely not perfect.
For example, the originals panels "rocked" a bit on the device.
RBA wicking can be sometimes troublesome.
The 1st VCC coil had some spitting.
Coil spacing on the RBA above the air holes is crucial.
Already have a few scratches on the bottom of the mod, where im placing it on the table.
The nylon mouth piece sits flush with stock coils boro bridge, but not with the RBA bridge.
Getting lots of condensation behind boro

BUT, i still think its excellent value for money for what you get.

I had the SXK Billet box, (chip fried due to leakage) and for me, this is miles better.

I don't know if this makes sense but it seems the condensation seems wicking related. On the first 3 tries, I did get condensation. 4th time around I have no condensation at all :WHAT?:
 
My panels are perfectly flush and no rocking at all!
Simple to build and almost no condensation. There will always be a bit of condensation on every bridge and boro system.
The commercial coils (well the only one and the first one I tested) are pretty good.
There is a drip tip gap when using the RBA but it's flush with the commercial coil system
And unlike Billet Box's the board and chips are protected from juice leakage.
And having a 21700 makes it a real winner!

Best value for money device of 2021 for me!

Thanks! When you wick again, can you post pics please?

I have to agree. Awesome setup

Seem to have got unlucky there with your rocking panels, one thing I hate with any device with removable panels is movement or badly fitted panels so it's a big pro for me how well the panels fit,(snug, no movement whatsoever)!

Sweet spot for me is a RDL draw with Tri-core clapton. around 0.3ohm at 30w!

Here we go @SmokeyJoe!

0.43Ω BVC Coil. Not sure which one it is because I have been playing with so many BVC options I have lost count. Pushing it at 32 watts... and normally I would drive the coil at 28 watts. Just feels right at 32 watts in the Pulse AIO.

Interesting taking out the commercial coil boro after a few days of occasional vape and no sign of condensation or leaking at all!

All depends on how much you tighten the plug I reckon. That, and the 510 pin is adjustable, so you can adjust things if necessary.

My silly white top cap drip tip sat flush from the get go.

I'm running a framed staple Clapton at 0.45 ohms and 35w and I'm very impressed.

I wicked just like Rob posted and I have very little condensation.

I cant remember when last I enjoyed a setup so much. Just love it.
Bonus is, i havent even had a craving for a sig since i bought it.

In the words of Uncle @Rob Fisher: Winner Winner, Chicken Dinner
 
You guys suck!

now I HAVE to buy one at month end and endure the wrath of my wife :facepalm:
 
I have been throughly enjoying my Pulse Aio!

Condensation from the boro is minimal and the flavour is awesome (granted I only vape Red Pill so don't know how deserts wil fair in it)... Oh and wicking is a breeze!

I go through about 4 to 5 tanks and then I just stick a piece of tissue paper in to clear out the few droplets that are there.

Size was something to get used to coming from the billet box, but the 21700 trade-off is a no brainer.

The only gripe I have with it is the seals on the Vessel rba base, they don't hold on enough and will just drop off. But gotten used to that by now as well. Hopefully they release a upgraded seal pack in the future that will fix that little niggle.

Got her looking pretty!

I like this frosted version! It’s very cool.
 
Got some spare panels for the Pulse AIO and really nicely packed and the bonus is they give you 8 spare magnets! Very clever and great idea!
