I brought 2 Recurve V2’s recently and thought I’d let everyone know my thoughts.
In the box- the Recurve v2 with the dual coil PEEK insert installed. A bag of spares including the single coil PEEK insert, o-rings, grub screws, a squonk pin, a coiling rod, a screwdriver. Another bag with 3 coils, 2 3mm and 1 5mm all ni80. You also get a bag of shoelace cotton, 2 3 mm pieces and a 5mm piece. Also a user pamphlet.
The deck is a postless deck that can house single coil or dual coil. The barrel is curved like the original Recurve and has cyclops styled airflow, which, with the inserts turns in into honeycomb styled airflow. The top cap is what you will open and close the airflow with and then there’s a wide bored 810 drip tip, but you can put any other non proprietary drip tip that you’d like.
My first one I built a dual coil build in. I cut my leads on a coily tool at 7.5. Mike Vapes suggests between 7.5 and 8mm. The juice well is deep and can hold roughly 2 ml of liquid. I cut my cotton at the 2nd o-ring, combed it out and tucked it. The airflow is smooth. I got great flavor, and I think this was a recurve dual killer.
The second one I got was for single coil. They included coils, but I used my own. I put a 3.5 mm alien and cut the leads at 7.5mm but didn’t get the best flavor (I’m now using the single coil insert) so I pulled my coil up to probably 8mm. It cleared the insert so it was fine. The flavor was ok. I’m not too too impressed with the single coil. The airflow is still smooth, I just don’t think it’s as good as dual coil. The flavor isn’t as good for me so I closed down the top row of airflow and it’s a little better.
Mike Vapes suggests separating your cotton down the middle for dual and for single opposite ends to let the juice flow down into the well…great idea! I found I didn’t need to stuff the well tight with cotton, just a light comb out.
EDIT-I forgot to mention the tolerance on the o-rings for the barrel becomes loose as liquid condensates around the airflow insert. So try not to grab the rda by the top can when picking it up or setting it down. The top cap will slide off. It’s an easy fix for me, I’ll occasionally wipe the inside. It could be a con for some.
All in all, I think the Recurve v2 is a good rda. The dual coil on the V2 is certainly a Recurve Dual killer and almost kills the original! Wotofo gives all the extras as usual.
Thank you
