Veritas RDA trippyness

[CaFF]

I just noticed something today that made me go "whaaat?!"
One of my fave old RDAs is the Veritas, it's a classic IMO.

But, did you know it's logo reads the same upside down?

I've had this RDA for years and just noticed that today.

I had one if those back when they came out. Great little rda, but I didn’t notice that either.

Ya, it's one of those atties I bought and it seemed everyone had one, then one day they were all gone...ack.
Not a big fan of the Marquis that came afterwards.

I didn’t get a marquis. I dont know why, but it didn’t particularly appeal to me

Is this the one with the wacky deck?

If you mean this, then yup.

I build mine with a simple horizontal coil around 0.8Ω, works awesome around 18-20W.
Tried finding one recently, man dey gone..or priced as $$ relics.

Yep, that's the one I was thinking of.

Remember using the "Genny bend" to combat long top-legs?
I use that to make a horizontal coil.

Old pic, but ya get the idea...

Didn’t know that was called the genny bend. But I remember that build.
I also remember melting the insulator. Lmao

Still on the same original insulator..hehe

Ya, used that technique for Gennys with too much space/height between the build/wick and the post, a bend kept it from burning up due to the long leg. Electrons be lazy.

Quite liked my veritas, though it's mostly been in the drawer for years. Funny you just now noticed the inscription, I always thought it was a really cool design element.

Mine is still on it's original top insulator as well, though I learned there is a second soft insulator inside as well which can degrade and allow the rod/center pin to compress. Not hybrid safe, despite the seemingly good to go center pin... Not that anyone is still really using hybrids these days, but just a psa.
