best bang for buck mini rda?

[moxiot]

Help my fellow vapers!

I have tried a fair amount of mini rdas and I love how they perform on my egos. That is my on the go set up. All of the drippers I have come across work wonderfully but Im after an all ss build. Is there anything out there, other than the cyclone, that resembles these mini rdas (ala smoktech octupus) and that doesnt surpass the $50 pricetag?

Many Thanks!

Are you looking for a Cyclone clone or something that looks like the Octopus?

I have a 'Scar' which is a Cyclone clone... but it broke off the threaded piece while pulling the top cap off the 3rd time (only last a couple hours). I definitely can't recommend that one.

I have and dig an IGO-S... but I'm not a fan of it's looks (found a maker of custom topcaps for it last night that I might try). My main rda now is a Hornet RA from BudzWorx... it was 50% more than your limit though.

I haven't tried this myself but...

The scar from smoktek looks promising...
Check out the Grimmgreen review:

The surprising SCAR RDA ( Rebuildable atomizer ) - YouTube

Has airflow from under the coil... like the immortalizer... should make for a real nice flavor.

EDIT: Whoops, didn't see above post... then maybe not. I have the IGO-W. That works well...
However you may want to drill out the airholes... some shops also do that for you.

The Igo-s is a good bet for sure. It's cheap ($13) and not too difficult to make coils for. I drilled mine out to make it a bottom feeder for my Reo and it gets a lot of use and is a good tester atty - test your juices and builds on. Recommended.

+1. This is a pretty damn decent atty. Its cheap enough to buy 4 or 5 so that you can play around with drilling out the air hole, making two airholes for dual coils, etc.

I have a couple of squids, and I like them a lot with micros and cotton. The small chamber gives good flavor, super easy build.

It an ERA clone and its pretty much the same size whatever that is .
Indy Vapor Shop list the ERA at 15 mm dia. X 21 mm tall

I had purchased this same RDA about 2 months ago one SS and one purple(all they had left in anodized colors).I got them to tinker with and see if they could keep up with my Immortalizer,and Helios.I wound up keeping them both stock.I used the SS with a DC at .7~(extremely tight fit small wicks) and it vaped extremely well,so kept the other stock too.You can not chain vape it though,temp gets way too hot on that top cap.

I'm gonna say the only part that's not SS is the insulator . No brass posts, no aluminum cap. I have two of these with 1/16" drilled out air holes and use 1 ohm coils and they vape great.
