Press fitted negative posts on RDAs are junk!

[Skullsdust]

Just though I'd share a recent experience purchasing fastechs rda clones. I've been going on a little buying spree collecting more rda clones from fadtech. Just to save some of you the trouble of filling another box with RDAs that are broken and may be used for parts. Here's my two cents. Pay a lot of attention if the neg post are press fitted or milled with the deck. So far I have twisted a couple neg post on their clones and will never get press fitted rdas ever. I also think they are dangerous. Just a little something I thought I'd share.

A few weeks ago I bought an EL DIABLO BAAL clone. I looked at several including the ones fasttech carries before making my purchase.
The authentic's negative posts are machined from the the stock metal so they are basically unmovable. Twist one of those off and you're one bad mammer jammer.
The thing I really liked though was that the positive post has a flat spot milled into it that matches up to a flat spot on the base. Therefore "locking" the post in place.
All the clones I looked at did not have that flat spot.
Except for Tobeco's 1:1 clone. Which I ended up getting. It's pretty awesome not having to worry about the post spinning or breaking.
My Tugboat clone's center post would spin and was very frustrating trying to build on it.

The caveat of a 1:1 clone is they carry over any design deficiencies that the authentic had as well as the good points.

Im glad the milled posts are becoming a thing. Last year I was looking at one that was basically 2 threaded bolts in the deck looked tough as crap think aerovapes made it


I know the big drippers neg post are actually screwed on through the deck and can be removed

I like how you pay attention to those little things. Those little things are quality and durability!

Lots of "junk" along the way has taught me to pay attention to those small details.
I enjoy clones. But not the ones that are shoddy.
Like Completely Average said, 1:1 clones can be very nice or very crummy. lol (paraphrased)

I buy reputable junk from vendors that I know will stand behind there junk. Some clones are iffy but some are awesome, it's kinda hit and miss.

Nope. Lol that's from a while ago. Using atty RDA on warrior mod. Subtank on 4nine not very safe.
