RDA Anyone have experience with the Derringer RDA?

[hadewwken]

Looking to purchase one but I have been told that, with the authentic, there are some problems with the center post spinning. Anyone have any experience with this happening to them and if it something I should reconsider? I will be purchasing the new version which has slotted holes in the posts rather than the first batch I believe that have standard holes in the post. Let me know before I make an impulse buy!

I would suggest trying a clone of the derringer to see how ya like it. Angelcigs.com has them for less than $9. I have a SS one from fasttech and absolutely love it. Gonna order the copper one from AC this week. No problems with the center post either

That thing must be a hot vape given its low profile

Hey, Kpr...Angelcigs - any problems with them? Do they ship from inside the U.S.?

Angelcigs ships out of Cali. Quick shipping on in stock items. Because of CNY they are slowly restocking. Can't wait to get the copper derringer it's gonna look good on my SMPL

is it insulated in any way?? theres no way its not hot. your lips are a few mm from the coils.

Maybe if you chain vape it might get hot but the delrin drip tip that comes with it works fine under normal vaping. Doesn't get hot in a 10 sec vape either lol I just tried

What is accessible now (which is v. 1.2) is the version with the reported center post problems. The change made in v 1.2 was the material that the center post is made of. (copper to ss) But I must agree that it is not an abnormally hot vape.

Mines built at .27 with 26g.
Not hot. It's all about the airflow with a medium gauge wire, and the derringer has plenty.
I don't baby it either....I hit it like it stole a chicken.

You have to move air across the coils and make sure they wick properly.
The derringer is a very well designed atty.

my favorite RDA at the moment - not hot... surprisingly...

easy to build.

flavor + big clouds...

great rda.

My Derringers have claimed the "my favorite RDA" title and it's not even close. Both of mine are bottom fed authentics running ~.4ohm with simple dual 26ga 2.5mm coils. The vapor is warm, plentiful, and packed with flavor.

 

[rrayda]

Agreed, not a hot vape at all. The vapor is warm, but the RDA itself does not get hot. A similar build on my go-to Cyclone AFC makes that RDA too hot to touch sometimes. I think it's the large build deck that keeps the coil away from the walls.

I do vape this one around 12W as opposed to the 15W I'm comfortable with on my Cyclone (28ga 1.8Ohm kanthal micro on a 5/64 mandral w/ rayon wick).

A nice little piece of kit, for sure.

Alright you guys suckered me in.. Getting tired of having to clean my Magma clone everytime I use it and nothing I do seems to keep the juice from dripping onto the deck. Just ordered the Tobeco clone from Elev8vape for a total of $12 and some change with shipping.. Hopefully Tobeco is as spot on with this one as they were with my Kayfun 4 clones.. I went cheap and got first class shipping so hopefully it doesnt bounce around the US before it gets here like my last first class order did. Had an order from Illumination Supply who are in the same state as me, head all the way from San Jose to Texas before it came back to me in southern California.. (and the post office wonders why theyre broke, try getting it right and you wont waste all the gas!)

My Tobeco clone is nice quality. I only wish I had gotten more than one cap. I have a Captain Ape clone and the Tobeco, and the machining and tolerances are just slightly off so that the parts do not interchange. That means I have one SS and one white delrin. Can't change it for my mood.

Just got these wide bore drip caps for my Derringers... they kick all of the .....

 

[reeftivo]

do you get spit back from the wide bore caps?

I'd think you would since the chamber is so short. I would think the stock cap w/tip would cover more of the coil and prevent spitting.

Just curious because I have one in hand right now that I picked up at lunch. Just need to escape the office to throw a build on it.

I don't get any popping or spitting using the wide caps.
