My first Mesh RDA. My first Mesh build.
Features of the
Lit RDA ![]()
- Single post build deck
- Clamp style post
- Can be used with mesh or wire coils
- You can mount wire coils horizontally or vertical
- Can accommodate most any size coil legs
- Can accommodate most any size coil
- Deep juice well
- Clever Air inlet.
Two types of inlet opening to choose from.
-The first is two arrays of 16 same-sized round holes, one on each side.They have it made so you can open each hole one-by-one!!
How
is that 
EDIT: I was mistakenly thinking of the Vandy Vape Bonza V1.5
-The second choice is two arrays composed of 4 angled slit openings per array, one on each side.
My first impressions:
Right away I was greeted by a nice smooth and dense vape. But hey, something is wrong, where is the flavor? I loaded the Squonk pump with a well steeped mixture of an adapted “Apple Punch V2” recipe that has tons of delicious Apple goodness.
I didn’t set any kind of high expectation but this just didn’t seem right. Unphased, I kept Vaping away, mainly because I was also trying out a new Squonk mod that uses a pump lever and I need to get a feel for how much juice is supplied with each pump.
Thank goodness, the flavor kicked in “the next day”. I’m guessing that mesh (SS-316) takes awhile to break in? I don’t know but now the flavor is definitely in the house, and it’s very good ![]()
I think I’m starting to like the Lit ![]()
Boy is it thirsty! Like a Labrador on a hot summer day, it demands so much juice the Squonk pump can’t even keep up. I maybe able to adjust the pump, I’ll check and see, but I have to give a pump for every other draw. Sometimes 2 or 3 pumps. I haven’t measured but it might be consuming more juice than my Steam Crave Aromamizer Plus. Maybe that’s another thing with using Mesh? There is a lot of surface area with mesh and the way the mesh forms a figure-eight it essentially forms two big round tubes of coil. I didn’t measure but I estimate at least 5mm openings, probably more.
Do I like it? Watch my short video and decide for yourself ![]()
UPDATE 9-31
On the way out to grab a healthy lunch from MacDonald’s
I snatch a to-go Squonker, the asMODus Spruzza sporting the Vandy Vape Lit
RDA. I’m in gear and on the road, Pandora playing Motörhead (cover - Sympathy for the Devil), I hit the Mod and what do you know? No flavor.
Second hit and still no flavor. The cloud seems much thinner than I remember too. I close down the air inlet. That helped a little but this doesn’t seem right. I open the air inlet more than before. Still no flavor and the clouds are not to be. ![]()

Than it hit me
Are the airholes on the barrel lined up with the massive Mesh coil?
No! No they are not. The barrel isn’t keyed to the build deck. I position the barrel so the air inlets line up with the side of the Mesh and Wala, problem solved; Flavor and clouds galore. I am no longer “One Step Beyond”.
I’m guessing this is why I experienced an unusually long break-in time. I had been putting the barrel on at random up to this point. ![]()
So, if this were a review and I were to list the Pros and Cons, I would list under the Cons that the barrel is not keyed to the build deck.
If Vandy Vape releases an updated version with a keyed barrel, I hereby rename it
