I bought the Venturi with the Aqua v2 from Reardon Tech but thy told e the did not make it and would not tell me who made the clone.
When i first saw the review for the Venturi, i was super exited and had to try it. Wile looking for the Aqua v2 i saw that Reardon sells them as well so i ordered one with the Aqua v2.
As you saw in the Youtube vid the Venturi comes in three main parts with two extra top caps. I used the Clasic cap (the cap on the far right) for my test.
The machining is very well done on all the caps i did not find and machine marks on them inside and outside
You can see the air intake is at the top of this RDA and that makes it leak proof. The top cap screws onto the bottom piece other than the usual o-rings that we are use to, that makes it even more leak proof.
To build on this desk is pretty easy with the center post having 4 x 1mm holes to fit you duel coils, This RDA is just for duel coils and you can not block the air from one side
At the bottom you get a brass center pin that is not adjustable.
Looking at the chimney piece. The chimney fits over your build so that you get a smaller chamber for better flavour and with that it also channels the air from the top down to your coils.
Well this is were this clone and the design falls short
First the clone: well the chimney does not fit on the bottom piece. The bottom lip of the chimney is just to big and you really have to wiggle and push to get it in there. Once it is in the chimney sits so tight that you cant adjust the air flow.
After watching the review on youtube this was good news for me because i set the airflow and it does not move, well that part works but ..
The design:
The chamber is not so small. Comparing it to the iGo W4
The iGo is on the right. As you can see there is not a very big difference between the two
Looking at the side by side the dome part of the Venturi chimney is almost as big as the top cap of the iGo
Looking at the two RDA's next to each other the Venturi is huge.
For me this is a fail, the clone and the design if the made it smaller yes. If you are looking at this, rather look at something else, you will be disappointed.
