I purchased this RDA from TradeVapeSupplies for £39.99.

In The Box
Comes really well packaged in a nice box along with the RDA components which i'll go through further down you also get a tube of spares which includes spare o-rings, a screwdriver, a SS single hole centre post, a copper single hole centre post, a spare positive pin, spare peek insulators, and spare screws.
Also included in the box which i forgot to include in the photos was a pack of Cotton Bacon Bits and bit of nichrome wire.
Drip Tips
You get a nice selection of drip tip options, a SS 510 drip tip with a Delrin drip tip adapter so you can use other 510 drip tips if you wish, a SS wide bore drip tip and a Delrin wide bore drip tip.
Top Cap/AFC
Nice idea this and one of the improvements they've made over the V1, you now have the option to single coil, the AFC adapters screw into the underside of the top cap.
The top cap itself is Delrin and SS with a vertical heatsink design.
Barrels
3 barrel sections are included in the kit, going from left to right, the first one is the most restricted its really ideal for a flavour chasing setup this one, the second one is more open you can get a really decent lung hit from this one but there's still a slight restriction there but it's good for casual cloud chasing, the third one features Mutation X style holes and is full on wide open, it's almost like having no barrel on the thing at all, this one is really perfect for those massive cloud comp style vapes, you can of course dial in and close off some holes by turning the top cap/afc.
Condensation Chamber
Bit of a daft gimmicky name i think, all this is really is a SS extension for the barrel, i can see it probably has a use if doing an extreme build and wanting to take a longer hit while still keeping the vape cooler.
I've been using the atty with a 0.2ohm build on it which is about as low as i usually go personally and the top cap/drip tip has stayed comfortably cool without this thing so it's probably something i'll never use myself.
The Deck
The deck comes pre-installed with SS split centre post but you do have the option to swap it out for a single hole SS or Copper post.
The Peek insulator is squared off on 2 sides to prevent spinning.
Massive post holes like 3mm-3.5mm diameter so no issues getting any build you fancy in there.
Juice well is about 4mm-5mm so adequate enough.
Would have preferred grub screws rather than the phillips head ones, i found the screws backed out a little bit when pulsing the coils to check for hotsposts and even heating so be sure to tighten them back down when you build on it.
Heatsink Base
Comes with a SS and Delrin heatsink base.
It's optional whether you use this or not, i have been just because it mirrors the top cap and looks good but you can use the RDA without it if you want a lower profile look.
I will mention it could have been made with a longer positive pin, i adjusted the pin all the way in and it was too short to make contact with the positive pin on the RDA deck, i had to back out the positive pin on the deck a little in order to get a contact, it's a little annoyance but i thought it worth mentioning, they really should have used a longer pin on the heatsink so the one on the deck doesn't need adjusting.
Round Up
I really like this RDA it's going to get a lot of use.
I really like the aesthetics, it has some great features, it's versatile and can suit any kind of mood from a chilled out flavour chasing session to a full on fog fest, everything is very nicely machined and the tolerances on the o-rings are nice and firm.
You really get a lot for your scratch with this one, well worth the money.
