Review of Vandy Vape Requiem RDA
One of the eternal disputes that do not subside any more among vapers is the question as to what is more convenient, tasty and practical than a tank or a drip. But, as they say, as many people, so many opinions, although it is unlikely anyone would argue that the richest and most vibrant flavor can be obtained exactly on the drip. There are countless number of dririp atomizers with different designs on the market now, but this does not mean that manufacturers do not produce them. Recently, Vandy Vape unveiled a new Requiem RDA dripper, which is designed with a fairly well-known reviewer who has worked with the company, El Mono Vapeador. Considering the fact that in recent times manufacturers do not particularly please vapers with drips, this device will definitely interest many users, as Vandy Vape Requiem RDA is initially positioned by the manufacturer as a flavor atomizer.
The general information
The Vandy Vape Requiem RDA is a compact single coil drip atomizer with three topcaps and top side blowing for maximum flavor delivery. The design of the new dropper is original and original for its small size, it is stylish and a bit unusual. The deck of the drip is designed to install one coil, but do not think that the flavor will not be enough the design is such that to ensure the most vivid and full flavor. The manufacturer offers three dome options for DL, RDL and MTL draws, so every vaper will be able to choose the best option depending on their preferences. You can buy Vandy Vape Requiem RDA in five colors matte black, steel, gray, gun metal and gold.

Appearance and Design
Vandy Vape has quite a few interesting vape dives and tanks in its lineup, and most of them are developed in collaboration with renowned reviewers and bloggers, making each such device an interesting device. The new Vandy Vape Requiem RDA drip is also created together with El Mono Vapeador blogger (he has 480 thousand subscribers on YouTube) who was directly involved in the creation of Widowmaker RTA. Such cooperation in the creation of the new vape has had a very positive impact on its characteristics, taste and design features.
The Vandy Vape Requiem RDA looks quite original – it is a compact vape with the diameter of 22 mm and the height without the drip-type of only 15 mm. The design of the drip is very strict and at the same time very interesting with the Requiem logo engraved on the side surface of the skirt. The drip uses removable topcaps made of Ultem, which are in harmony with the overall style of the atomizer.
Considering the fact that Vandy Vape Requiem RDA is 22 mm in diameter, the manufacturer has a goodie-ring, thanks to which the drip looks quite logically on big enough box-mods or squonks.
Quite interesting can be considered not only three different domes, but also different drip-types. Two of the domes use 510’s delrin drip-types, and one uses 810’s non-ringing also from delrin.
Base, blowback and usage features
The Vandy Vape Requiem RDA is a single coil drip that is great for devices that are not particularly powerful, but it can also surprise you with its flavor.
Installation of one spiral, wound counterclockwise, is made horizontally, with fixation by two massive slotted screws. It is worth to say that the drip is not designed for large spirals, as the airing channels allow to cover 4-5 coils.
Spiral laying will not cause any questions, as there is enough space for it. But remember that the vat is shallow and designed for 1 ml of liquid, so the best way to use such a drip would be to install it on squonks, the good thing is that the kit contains the appropriate skunk pin.
The blowing system is of special interest. As it was already written above, Vandy Vape Requiem RDA comes with three topcaps or domes made of Ultem. Each of the domes has two air intake holes with ducts aimed directly at the coil, allowing air flow to the side surface of the coil.
The three domes are made with air channels of different shapes and diameters, designed for different types of inhalation DL, RDL and MTL, so the vaper gets a universal version of the drip as well.
Conclusions and impressions
Vandy Vape Requiem RDA is a versatile flavor drip that will definitely appeal to vapers who value good taste above all else. It is quite easy to maintain and use, although it does have some disadvantages, but they are completely outweighed by its many advantages.
