Hi Vaping Underground members, In this review i take a look at the Capstone RDA by Vandyvape. The Capstone RDA was supplied for the purpose of this review by Kary from Vandyvape.
Introduction
The Capstone is an RDA designed very much with squonking in mind and is a collaboration between the guys from Vape Happy and Vandyvape. Looking at the RDA it has a unique look both from the outside and with the deck. The aim of the deck seems to be making it as easy a duel build as it can be while showing innovation in the way the juice enters the deck when squonking. Does this innovation make it a great squonking RDA? i will give my humble opinion.

The Capstone RDA came in sample packaging with loads of extras including a coil leg cutting guide and a PC Comp cap. I received the Matte Black version, it's also available in Silver, Gold and Rainbow. Sitting on top is a very nice textured, frosted wide bore 810 drip tip, the top-cap which is also the inner sleeve as normal has textured sections every 90 degrees to help with grip. The main sleeve has duel airflow slots and is patterned all over with a raised geometric design, it's like looking down from above at rows and rows of pyramid peaks (capstones). The Black base of the Capstone has White branding and safety stamps and an inner embedded O-ring to keep any possible e-liquid escaping from the 510 connection from going outside of the 510 area and over your device. The Capstone comes with a Gold plated BF pin pre-installed.
Capstone Specs and Features:
Diameter: 24mm;
Height: 38mm;
Breathtaking and unique design;
Waterfall squonk action;
Reduced build chamber;
Domed interior AFC cap;
Single screw spring loaded capstone deck;
6mm depth juice well;
Ramp airflow system;
Dual slotted trapezoid airflow (single / dual coil compatible);
Fill type: top fill or bottom feed;
Airflow type: bottom / side dual slot (adjustable);
Vaping type: direct lung or loose mouth to lung;
PC comp cap included;
Comp cap size: 24 x 29mm;
Drip tip size: 13.8 x 12mm
Colours: Matte Black, Silver, Gold, Rainbow
Disassembling and Assembling
The RDA comprises of frosted textured 810 drip tip, inner sleeve/topcap, outer sleeve and deck.There is also a PC Comp cap included but i didn't use this. I like the drip tip fitting, it's not loose but not too tight and can be easily removed if you wish you can use your own 810 or 510 with supplied adaptor. The outer sleeve comes off easily enough when attached to your device and then just pushing upwards inside the sleeve pops out the inner sleeve/top-cap. The Capstone comes pre-installed with a BF pin but also provided is a Gold plated 2 part adjustable standard pin, the tank can be reassembled very easily.
The Airflow
The inner sleeve is stepped and when turned gives various airflow options, Both sides can be fully open but if you carry on turning it gives duel slits (essentially half airflow but still covering the full length of your coils), carry on turning further and one side closes while the other side becomes wide open for a single coil build. I didn't try a single build with the Capstone and in my experience duel decks i don't find work too well with a single build even if it gives you that option but with the large pyramid centre section acting as a blocker a single build might actually work quite well. The airflow is side airflow and inlets are very close to the coil, also the inner shape of the top-cap is conical shaped to supposedly help with flavour. The Capstone Centre post takes up a fair amount of room reducing the size of the chamber which again should help with flavour.
