I wouldn't buy it simply for the dumb name and the even worse graphic. How the hell does Nixon even remotely tie into vaping, or add any sort of "cool" factor....smh.
Honestly I think someone came up with the "I am not a clone" and they called it the Nixon because of that. There's lots of really dumb names for RDA's so I won't let that bother me as I'm only after performance. That said, it's kind of funny to me because I only think of the Futurama version of Nixon so I laugh at it.
Here's a mainly pictoral review;
The packaging it comes in is about what I expect for the price point.
Generous spares kit, nicely made included coils and what appears to be organic cotton, flip the packaging over and there's an included chuff cap as well, really not bad at all IMO.
With the stock cap/drip tip, this is a dual O-ring drip tip with a fairly narrow bore.
The deck is nice, it's like building on most four hole decks. Lots of room for big coils still, very nice deck.
This is one of my only gripes about the Nixon, the airflow adjustment on the bottom means there's this little nub that protrudes which on many devices means it will not sit flush. Also for the life of me I cannot figure out how to disassemble the airflow control, it may be press-fit as even with the positive post removed entirely the deck base would not separate.
Nixon on SMPL, to demonstrate the gap.
How I'm using it without a gap is with an upside down Kepler hybrid disc adapter(insulator removed) on my Surfrider.
This covers the small nub and allows the Nixon to sit flush.
Nice and flush now, and with the Chuff style cap this is how I use it.
Overall I quite like it, it has some hang-ups that may keep people from buying it but the performance is very nice. Honestly I'll only ever use it with the airflow all the way open so I can't really comment on the airflow control, thought with the airflow all the way open and the chuff cap on the vape is almost identical to that of a normal 2-hole deck Kennedy. For me, I'd give it a strong 8/10 overall.
