Ego rda

[smittytoo]

I'm looking for a glass rda to use with my ego type batteries, but all I'm finding
are 22mm or larger. Does anyone know of one that's 18mm or smaller?

Thanks

I haven't seen any glass RDAs that are about the size of en ego battery, but some smaller diameter RDAs are:
Igo-s
Igo-f
Phoenix RDA
Octopus or smoktek RDA
A6 RDA
A7 RDA
Smoktek scar

Those are all pretty small RDAs, around 14mm in diamter. I have used the Igo-s and Igo-f, i also have a smoktek scar, but the airflow is really tight. I think Igo-s is a great little RDA, I did drill out the air inlet a bit. I haven't used them in a good while, but I like 28 gauge on them, works well with an ego.

Thanks MattyTny
I appreciate all the good info. I've been using the little
aluminum smok rda for a year or so, and it does a pretty good job. I use 32g kanthal with 6 rounds on a 1/16"
drill shank, and it normally comes out to 1.8-2.2 ohms.

I like the looks of the a7 rda. I've never tried anything
with the air hole thru the bottom. Do they tend to seep
liquid from the wick thru the center hole?

Thanks again,
Smitty

the smok rda is great for tasting new juices while mixing or for stealth vaping. I use 6 turns 30 awg kenthal 2.5 mm coil form (1.8 ohms) and drilled out the air hole to 3/32 and with a rayon wick on an 1100mah e-go battery its a fun, good tasting little rig.

As long as you wick it properly you shouldn't have any leaking problems, but if it does leak you would have more of an issue with this one as opposed to side airflow RDAs. Since the airflow comes from the 510 it would leak onto the battery connection. That being said, the airflow from the deck looks to be high enough that liquid won't find it's way down there.

I would check out the octopus RDA or even the Atomic RDA by MCV! I know the atomic is 18!

I think I'll stay with the side airflow. I don't need any leaking problems, and it
defeats the purpose of the glass dripper, which is to allow me to keep an
eye on the wick so I know when to add juice.
