Looks like you and me against the world. I agree with you. BUT. . .if I was able to build an atty for a quarter that performed like a Cisco, I'd have to take it seriously. Luckily for Cisco and Hanna (and Empire and Vapage), I so far have not been able to muster the patience or dexterity required to compete with them.
For nearly all my juices I also very much prefer my HH.357s to my RDAs. The flavor complexity of the juices that don't do well in my RDAs are the ones that take a suicidal dive off a cliff at over 6 watts with a manufactured atty.
I've never had problems building coils but I don't particularly enjoy doing it. My attys last a really long time so there isn't any significant financial incentive for me to endlessly futz with my RDAs.
I once asked Wlad about the possibility of a Green Chartreuse juice. He said that many of the flavors in Green Chartreuse would not survive vaping temperatures. That made me wonder if the fact that I seem to prefer flavors that do better at lower power has something to do with not being all that taken with my RDAs except for a few juices.
So good...I need to look at Kona Kick now!
