We proudly present the ΣΟΦΙΑ v2! :D
Here are some photos of the ΣΟΦΙΑ v2 with Ni200 ( 0.30 ). It will be ready in a few days :)
Better liquid control, more air flow, resistance wire only, more flavor, more space for your setups. Very easy to setup! :)

Thanks, i don't need all the tubes so i'll just wait a few days.
I finally managed to put the 50mm ΣΟΦΙΑ as a whole so you can select it from the drop down selection. I wasn't able to do it until now. Adding attributes is tricky on Prestashop, so I only used what was made by the web designer.
But I did it without any explosions. :D
You know, if you want it and we can do it, you got it :)

My second build on my Sophia v2 is a 1.3ohm 1/16” ID coil of 28AWG Kanthal. I’m using KGD and my wick tails are sitting in the juice channels right where they start (similar to what I see in Billie’s video). I bought the short body tube and an STR 10 SS drip tip and I think that they go really well together. I’ve almost finished my second tank and it has been working great. I’ve experienced no leaking with the exception of a drop of liquid on my mod’s center pin when the juice level dropped below the juice control (just like the v1, I had to tighten up the juice control at this point).

Although I find it a little tricky to wrap my coil legs around the two small removable deck pieces and make sure that I don’t have slack, I love not having to use non-resistance wire and ceramic cups. I’m a longtime user of submersible cartomizer-sized atomizers and I think that I have them all (Killer 705, Diver v1, Diver v2, Sophia v1, Sophia v2, and SmokTech Terminator) and the Sophia v2 is the one that I’ve been waiting for all of these years since getting in to RBAs because I think that it’s the easiest to build and use and it performs the best.

My Sophia v2 arrived a couple of days ago, and I washed it out, though I don't think that's usually necessary for byLeo gear.
Billie, tell me if I'm wrong, but I think you folks clean all your products thoroughly of machine oils etc. Right?

So, I took a stab at a build, from memory of Qorax's vid (Q: your vids are classic).

LOL. I put it all together and when I looked at it, both leads were entering the Sophia at the same spot, instead of opposite sides. Hard to describe better. Ended up looking kind of like a vertical coil.
I should have taken a pic to post.
I think I wrapped both leads in the same direction instead of opposite directions?
Weirdist looking coil I've ever seen.
Anyway, redid it this afternoon, after relooking at the Q vid.
Wow, I'm impressed. I think the v2 is easily as good as the v1, and I think I like it better.
Same flavor, excellent and I think better vapor, no worries about nr-r-nr or ceramics.
The only negative, which I suspect will decrease with experience, is that I found the first step in the building quite hard. Holding the top part against the coil and twisting the wire was tough, even using Q's technique.
I'd like to see the original byLeo vid, but it's not available, because the EU thinks it's porn or something equally harmful.
Perhaps Billie can find a way to make it available privately.
In short, great little atty, which I without reservation recommend to Sophia lovers.

Wow Billie ... thank you for the wonderful news. Even if I ordered some hundreds of NR-R-NR wire some days ago :D

Quick question:
Ni200 is a possibility, or a must?
Just a possibility. I just made it first, because it is a very famous setup nowadays and to show that it fits, since it needs a lot of space due to the big number of coils it needs :)

Will there be an option at release for a short tube for a 35mm tank?
Of course. It will have the exacte same setups as the v1. 35mm, 45mm and 50mm with integrated drip tip :)
We also added serial numbers, since we were asked a lot of times

It's VERY easy. If you didn;t get it from the introductional video, I will post a more detailed one in a few days. Of course Qorax might beat me to it :D
This one is just FANTASTIC! The Sophia RejuV2enated. I am loving every moment of it :)
I am shooting the video (various clips over different days / moods) - and it can only be uploaded this weekend unfortunately b'coz of my lack of time for editing it. Pls bear with me folks.

I've got my Sophia v2 set up and I just started vaping it. So far, so good! I built a 2mm coil with KGD and the wick might be too tightly fitting within the juice channels. I may rebuild it with a smaller coil. The threading on the v2 seems better than the v1 - when I open the juice control all of the way on the v1 I can get it to wobble a bit, but not with the v2.

Just an idea, for people "lazy" at refilling like me. If you use a simple, slide-up-to-fill tank, you can do it without closing the liquid control. This works only in the V2 ΣΟΦΙΑ with a simple, air-tight tank (no refilling ports).
Let me know if it works for you as well. I would love some feedback :D
Also, the upper bodies of the v2 don't have the sharp edge on the bottom like the v1, so the o ring of the tank will not get mangled easily :)
