1. The Tank
The tank includes a couple of drip tips instead of the usual three, which usually come across in the other products of this manufacturer. There is likewise a 510 adapter which will enable you to use all the drip tips easily. Apart from this, the top cap has been manufactured attractively. It comes with a somewhat elevated platform on it.
2. The Base
The base of Vandy Vape Govad RTA comes with a typical branding at the bottom while you will also come across an exclusive 510 pin that happens to be gold plated. The base has some knurling although it isn’t quite deep similar to the top cap’s knurling. Moreover, the airflow control happens to be seamless as well as smooth.
3. The Deck
Perhaps the most notable feature of this device happens to the deck which is actually of a single-coil clamp style. Either side of the clamp is wide open and forms a “T” shape such that it is possible to slip the leads on both the sides. There is also kidney type airflow at the bottom of the coil.
4. Wicking and Building
It is quite simple to build this deck, and you only need to install a coil while securing the leads. The main thing happens to be the placement of the coil on the deck. There is no need to run the coil excessively high; however, you also do not like to run it much low either.

As mentioned previously, my preferred coil build was a single Fused Clapton which had a resistance of about 0.4 ohm. I did try other builds such as Stainless Steel Fused Claptons, which worked perfectly as well. However, normal round …
Pros
- Easy to build & wick
- Excellent build quality
- Compatible with 810 drip tips (includes 2) & 510 drip tips
- Tons of available airflow
Cons
- Flavor can be a bit muted with the airflow wide open
- Single coil only (subjective)
- Bulges out to 26mm above the base (subjective)
Conclusion
- In conclusion, the Vandy Vape Govad RTA is an excellent performing RTA, and honestly it was hard to find any cons with it. The con of the flavor being a bit muted can easily be solved by closing off the airflow a bit. The fact that it’s a single coil only RTA is not necessarily a con since vapers will know this fact before making the purchase. The spring loaded clamp styled deck ma…
