Hi Vaping underground members, In this review i take a look at the AP Kit 900mAh with AP MTL Sub Tank from Vandy Vape. The Vandy Vape AP Kit 900mAh with AP MTL Sub Tank was supplied for the purpose of this review by Ariel from Vandy Vape.

Introduction
The AP or Apollo Kit is a MTL kit with very good constant voltage and airflow options to get the MTL vape that suits you. The mod is small being not much bigger than an 18650 battery and has a Waterproof, Dustproof and Shockproof rating of IP66. The device in my opinion is a cross between the Geekvape Flint and Aegis mod giving MTL users that same durability that has been enjoyed by Aegis users. The AP MTL sub tank (no idea why they have started calling MTL tanks sub tanks lately as i always thought sub was for subohm) comes with 2 different MTL coil heads which house a horizontal coil, one being 1.5ohm the other 1.8ohm and the airflow options means you can get whatever MTL draw you prefer going from super airy to super tight!

Aesthetics and Ergonomics
The Apollo Kit comes in plain Black cardboard Box packaging with presentation sleeve and on taking the top off the box i was met by mod, tank, spare glass and accessory box. I received the frosted Amber version which is actually the colour of the inner hard plastic casing which can be seen through cutouts in the Black rubber outer casing so all versions are predominantly Black. The other colour options available are Frosted Red, Frosted Cyan, Frosted Green and Frosted Black, all options come with a Black Apollo tank with o-ring to match the frosted colour of the device. As mentioned the device has a hard plastic frosted inner casing and then a rubber outer casing which has cutouts both sides and on the spine to see the frosted plastic. The whole device has a lot of texturing so to go along with it's ergonomic size and shape it also has loads of grip. The front of the device has a very large rectangular (almost square) fire button top then central we have 2 lines of little LED circles, one line of 5 running horizontally for battery life indication and then one line running vertically for voltage settings. Below the LED indicators we have side by side - and + buttons then below these a silicone bung that protects the micro USB port which gives a really good seal. The fire button has the Vandy Vape logo raised on it and the - and + button are labelled, there is also some labelling for voltage and a USB symbol on the bung but all labelling mentioned is Black on Black so not easy to see. The base of the device has printed branding and safety stamps, moving to the top we have a 510 plate that sits flush with Gold plated, spring loaded 510. When it comes to build quality the Apollo is one hell of a tough, durable feeling device yet very lightweight, great job!

Apollo Tank Overview
The Apollo tank is a 2ml capacity tank that comes with 2 coil heads a 1.5ohm and a 1.8ohm, both house horizontal coils. The overall aesthetics are like the Berserker MTL V1.5 but without the heat sink fins and has a completely different drip tip set-up but the finish on the tank and the texturing top and bottom are the same. The drip tip is a narrow bore MTL style but is a sleeve fitting so you can't use your own 510's, the drip tip is actually very comfortable but you don't get a spare and if you lose it you're a bit stuffed.
The Apollo is top-fill and the top-cap screws off and does have quite long threading but the quality of the threading is top notch. Once the top-cap is removed you are met by a metal plate with 2 generous kidney shaped cutouts so no issues with filling. The Apollo has an inner frame with housing for the coil so the glass section is trapped between the top and bottom ledges of the frame. To remove or replace the glass section you need to take the top section off the frame but there is nothing to grip so a tool is provided to unscrew the top section which allows the glass to be freely removed, you get a spare glass.
The base section of the tank unscrews from the inner frame and the coil head gets screwed into the base. You receive a 1.5ohm coil rated between 3.0v and 4.2v and a 1.8ohm coil which is rated between 3.2v and 4.3v, the coils for the Berserker MTL tank are also compatible with the Apollo and visa versa.
The Apollo has bottom airflow and the airflow control ring has a 2.5mm hole just one side. When turning the airflow control ring you line the hole up with different size airflow holes on the base, the size of the holes are 2.5mm, 2.0mm, 1.5mm, 1.0mm, 0.8mm and finally for a super tight draw 0.6mm. The control ring moves with just the right amount of tolerance and has a stopper.
