Looking to PULL - anyone else still seeking very tight draw RDAs?

[aceswired]

Feel like I'm a bit of a dinosaur here, but I'm finding that all of the new-wave RDAs are just too airy for my tastes. I really need that pull you get from a nice snug rda. I use mainly the IGO-W, single coil with .8mm air holes ... and one of them plugged shut with a toothpick.

Surely I can't be alone. Is anyone else out there interested in similar RDAs? I've tried a bunch of late, but everything with airflow adjustment just isn't right for me. The RDAs with slits that you adjust by twisting the cap just never hit the right spot for me. I'd love to try a bottom-airflow rda, but I just doubt any of them will hit the airflow right.

So ... thought I'd start a thread here for ultra-tight RDAs. Here's hoping I don't end up talking to myself....

hopefully some one chimes is cause I'm in the same boat. us MTL drippers get left behind most of the time.

the ones I use the most are microdrip, A7, and Hobbit.

Vicious Ant Cyclone has been the best tight draw mtl atty for me so far. RM2 is just as good but a tiny bit looser draw.

3F vape now has a MTL atomizer section, there's a few that look good in there.

MTL, Mouth to lung, MTL atomizer, E-Cigarette atomizer, Quality and Cheap - 3FVape

Thanks for the link, I'll check it out. Also gonna look up the Vicious Ant.

Tossing this V5 into my cart.

That pinhole looks just right. Still, just a variation of the same design as my igo-w4, but for $4 it's worth checking out.

I like a Tighter Draw on an Tank. For an RDA, I like a more Medium to Semi-Tight Draw.

I've found that on Many RDA's, there is a Very Fine line to restrict the airflow from Not Enough to Too Much. What I find works well is to use Drip Tips that have a Small Inner Bore.

 

[zoiDman]

BTW - For a Single Coil RDA, the NarDa has a more Restrictive Airflow than Most. And for Flavor, it is Off the Charts good.

This one also comes with a BF Pin if you want to use it as a Bottom Feeder.

I agree on that super-fine adjustment. For me, an RDA with a slit that you line up with an inner section just never seems to work quite right. The draw always seems to be more of a seeping hiss than a tight pull.

I'd love to see manufacturers release custom bell caps that fit on atomizers. So if you want a .8, 1mm, 1.5mm draw, you can order exactly that. And all the people who whine and complain about why the airflow is so restricted could get just what they want (which seems, for some, to be little more than a stainless steel mesh surrounding a coil!

I've have some like the Derringer and the Stumpy that use a row of Holes and a Slot in the RDA Cover. These are easier to Dial Down the air flow.

And I'm sure there are probably other RDA's that use a Similar technique. But I only look for Single Coil or Single Coil able RDA's. So I can't really say who else makes one.

My go to is the Kanger Dripbox, but the rda is total crap with the huge slits for me, with a bit of modding fitting a igo top cap works fantastic a firm draw, thick velvety vaper, not a lot out there for single coil.

I would second the vicious ant cyclone for mtl. You can still buy brand new off Indy vapor shop, that's where I got 4 of mine. It comes stock with a 1mm air hole and it's all I use. I wouldn't go bigger than 1/16th if you choose to drill it bigger.

I got lucky and won a Wasp from Heaven Gifts. Supposed to be a single coil device geared for flavor. Will post my thoughts when I get it.

Too big for me. All my atties are tiny! 22mm is when I'm feeling lung inhales

I like a little more air but the flavor on the Origen Little 16 keeps it in my rotation.

Every once in a while you can pick up a Nuppin' by Pdib in the classies, I can't recommend them enough.

 

[Vapefiend]

I have two fasttech o-16s on the way maybe I'll buy an original if I like them

 

[Vapefiend]

The link you actually posted seems odd. It says a brass center pin? Authentic was stainless no?

 

[aceswired]

Any guess as to the smallest airhole on that control ring? 1mm?

Yes and no, the BF pin is stainless, the non BF pin is brass.

I do MTL and settled on the SV rda clone. It's the only atimizer I use. I use a tall slip ring to prevent leaking in my pocket and it can be pulled part way down to adjust aiir flow. I use a different drip tip that's easy to drip through. Sitting on a pico it's very compact. In all black it stealthy. The deck is a bit fiddly to build on but once you get over that it's got a good sized well and is good at flavors.

I'm also using the Arctic Fox firmware. NFE Team It lets me fine tune temp control with pre heat Shows me max temp and max watts for each puff and has a nice PC tool box to compliment the on board menus and button presses. Recommended.

I use one more item in the rig, a .032' shim between the SV and the pico so there is a flush fit. I make those on my engraving equipment at work. Don't know where you would buy them.
