I've been using my Aromamizer for about a week. Dual 28g @ 1 ohm @ 20-25W with Shiseido cotton. My adv is Goji Melonberry. I'm using a DNA30 device. I normally build closer to 2ohms for the DNA but I had the 1ohm coils kicking around when the RDA arrived so I popped them in.

I like the fact that it's really hard to make it leak. Big selling point for me as well as the cool and different hex nut design. I only drip and I drip and drive and things can get messy fast. I can drip it and toss it in my pocket and as long as it's relatively upright everything is Aok. The build quality is very good for the $29 shipped I payed for it. It's heavy but I like that. It took me a day or so to get used to that huge drip tip but, It's starting to grow on me.

I'm not sold on it having great flavor and it definitely does not produce big vapor. Not for me anyway. I'm no cloud chaser but for me exhaling a decent cloud is part of the experience. Another poster mentioned the vape is very cool and I agree. I like that the drip tip never gets even warm but, I like a warmer vape. Granted I've only tried one build and one juice but once I get home I'm ready to pop my Veritas clone on my box. I actually just did before writing this.

I've been on the fence about selling it or keeping it. I'm going to try some other juice and a different build before I decide though. It has a lot going for it but, I'm not sure if it's for me yet.

I have tried several builds. I think it's a good atty. Very well made with high quality components from what I can tell. Steamcrave seems to have put their best foot forward with this atty.
But I am not completely sold on the performance. For the price point I'm not going to get upset over the things that I do not like about it. That being said, the cons (for me) have been stacking up.
I did hear a reviewer mention that this atty shows its colors with fruit/tobacco flavors and falls off with the custards and creams. I completely agree. I just figured the reviewer was spouting for the sake of content.

I feel like one of the critics from the muppet show right now. It's amazing how unclearly I think when I am going through my vape mail episodes. I really need to wait a few days before I voice my opinions.

I have a hard time finding many utube reviewers that will give an RDA a thumbs down these days. Maybe I'm watching the wrong ones but, it seems like the only reviews I ever find are by people who got the RDA for free, and surprise, they like it. Kind of hard to put a whole lot of stock in their opinions knowing they were given the item for review. Know what I mean? I'm not saying they are all lying. Sometimes I wish I wasn't so cynical. ;)

I agree it's a very well built RDA. I really like the design of the airflow though, for me, it is a bit too constricted. I'd prefer a bit more air. I really dig the general aesthetics. Love that it's not yet another barrel with a drip tip and some etching. I actually do like the gaping drip tip with it's no spit back design. It's the perfect atty for me for on the go but, I feel like I am giving up too much for the sake of not needing to have a juice rag handy. I want to love this thing so badly that it's frustrating me that I don't. I'm going to give it another shot with different juices. Maybe I'll find one that helps this atty shine.

Seems like another novelty RDA. I'll take an RDA with a removable top-cap for easy dripping over one that somehow creates a vortex, any day.
Right now it is somewhat of a novelty. Easy enough to drip into though. Plenty of room after the drip tip is removed. Three posts are unnecessary in this atty and the three post design interferes with the intended air flow. Would have been nice if the air flow ledge on the deck went all the way around. It will be interesting to see what the evolution (if there is any) of this atty will be.

It certainly has a fair amount of room to drip into once the drip tip is removed. I'd still rather have something with a removable top-cap as opposed to a "vortex-type" airflow.
I heard somewhere that they were making one with a clear sleeve so that the vortex effect can be seen. Not sure of how reliable more source is, but you never know.

Right on their website. Its going to be glass, they're also coming out with a bottom feed version for squonkers.

I'm anxiously waiting for my round version right now....

....I can see the mail truck....just don't see the mail man :mail:

Might be worth the purchase if they make a round version. If the whole point is to create a vertex effect, then a cylindrical body would make more sense.

the round one has been out for awhile, but honestly i don't notice a difference in airflow between the hex and round version since both inner chambers and airflow chambers are round-i think just the outer layer is hex or round. the bigger issue is that i've noticed coil placement can be finicky.

the bottom fed one is already 'out', but vendors aren't showing any interest :(
also, it's not just a bf atty they're putting out..though i don't know how much freedom i have on speaking about that.

I asked them why no two post design since three is kinda what makes the builds finicky. (That and the post holes). Since this atty needs to more or less have centered builds it would be the way to go.

The person that answered said it's three post because most people use 22 and 24 awg wire. I think that was definitely an answer to a question. Just not mine.
The answer made me laugh because someone around here will always start a feud by saying most people are tootle puffers. How does one tootle puff using 22 awg wire?

Sits on the shelf. Still think it's good for fruits and basic tobacco flavors but I have been mainly using strawnilla, the virus, and creme brulee. Doesnt do them justice.


This atty is terrible for anything but sweet, fruity-types of the non-creamy variety. It actually makes creamy vapes not taste good. Weird.

IMO the flavors that have worked best were a little overwhelming in my other atty's. This rda seems to mute flavors.

Or, or...maybe it's that we aren't getting sprayed! I hope that what I typically experience as flavored-vapor is not actually due to a light mist. Sometimes I wonder.

It's the machine oil all in those airflow grooves. You got to clean that bad boy repeatedly before it leaves. Just let it soak in some super soapy water (I actually dripped liquid soap down into the channels) and boil it out (and repeat as needed).
