First VW mods on the way..recommend me a RDA

[samcm010]

I dont have one but have you looked into a REO. Everybody says it is a great on the road mod that is a bottom feeding dripper. I just havent pulled the trigger as I dont like the looks and price. I have a Richman Hybrid and it is the closest thing I have in a tank flavor wise to dripping. Richman does sell just the tank but he is closed right now.

Thanks, I have heard about the REO , but haven't actually checked it out. Will now, though.

Well, I found an IGO-W close by, 20 dollars. Grabbed that and some 30g kanthal along some silica wick (almost bought a roll of ekowool). Wrapped my first coil. 1.4 ohms. Set the wattage to 14.5 and.....puff puff.
Not as flavorful as I'd hoped....I probably have uneven heating going on...and probably need bigger air holes..

But, it give humongous draws. :thumbup:

And also check to see if the RDA comes with a gold Hello Kitty skeleton key.

I've been using a PT and a vvnova, but recently mostly carto tanks.

Have not been completely satisfied with any of them. I'm searching for that seemingly elusive "perfect vapor hit", on EVERY puff. Being a former 30 year clove smoker, my throat-hit needs are a bit more demanding than most others'.

The only issue I will have is on the road vaping. Dripping and driving is probably not a good idea, so next on my list is finding an tank atty that can come close to dripping, performance-wise.

Aurora BFT, whenever they get back in stock...or the surge tank if it is in your budget..

Another vote for the Trident clone. I have both the Trident clone and the IGO-W and never use the IGO-W because of the stock airholes. I know I could drill them out, but don't even feel the wanting to right now when the Trident clone is good from the get go.

I've been chasing my perfect vape for some time. Got my first Reo yesterday and I don't have to look any further. Love this more than any other setup I have.

I got an Aurora BFT. It wasn't that great for me, and I hated fiddling with it. Promptly sold it to one of the guys at my B&M who wanted to try it.

So far, not overly thrilled with my igo-w . Running it single coil, but the flavor just isn't there. The hits are great, tho.

Would bigger air holes help with flavor? Or going dual coil, maybe?

Maybe I'm confused, but isn't the REO rda modified to work on their bottom feeder mods?

i have the igo-w. For the price you can't go wrong with it.
Easy to build... plenty of space... 3 posts for dual coils.
However it needs bigger airholes imo. You can get the igo
already drilled out to your liking at some shops... or diy.

I also have the trident v2 (original). Build quality is much nicer,
it hits harder (possibly due to copper firing pin), has ajustable
air-flow control and is even easier to rebuid with the slots.

I also have a Reo and Reomizer 2.0.
Correct... the Reomizer only works with bottom feeders. But then it is a thing of beauty.
It performs just like a dripper... without the hassle. The taste is fantastic... maybe something
to do with the ceramic bottom.
Airflow is in the standard configuration imho optimized for mouth-inhales... Great combination of flavor,
throat hit and amount of vapor. If you like lung-inhales you can order the Reomizer with a bigger hole/holes.

So i'd say... get a cheap dripper like an IGO or Trident-clone... If you love it, then get a Reo + Reomizer.

Fasttech shows the igo-l as dual coil even tho it has only two posts, which means I'd have to wrap each close to 3 ohms to keep above 1.2 ohms.

Right ? Unless I go with single coil?

The dual coils that came on Igo-L clone I just received are done in parallel and ohmed out at 1.8 ohms. It vapes great out of the box, but it isn't done quite right, because there is only a single air hole, when each coil should have it's own. I love the draw on it without having drilled the air hole, so I'm going to redo it today with a single coil and see how it performs. I expect I'll be equally satisfied with it seeing as the 2nd coil wasn't getting proper air flow anyway and tended to get gunked up faster.

For the low entry price, I'm totally satisfied with how the Igo is performing. The clone even came with a nice drip tip, two more pre-wrapped coils/wicks, and some extra o-rings.

Best cheap dripper I have is SMOK Octopus, about $10 in the B & M's here. Easy to build on too.

UPDATE: Just built my first coil for Igo-L. I did 2 strands of silica wick with 32 gauge wire. I tried 5 wraps and it came out to 3.2 ohms. (a little higher than I hoped) but I fired it off at 5.2 volts on my SVD, and flavor and vapor are fantastic.

Not to shabby for my first try.
