Best rda under $30

[PRIMER]

Next I'm looking to go rda.
It looks like BULLY vs OCTOPUS vs vision ETERNITY.
I'm leaning to the ETERNITY. I like the design and formfactor, plus it holds a bit more.
Any words of wisdom before trigga pulling?

IGO L
(seriously they're the best for the price)...I literally only use them, and i have 2x DID standards, that just sit...i really dig the IGO L's

Igo-l or the igo-s. both are great in my opinion. Super easy to build and solid. On the L i recommend beefing up the o rings and enlarging the air hole to 1/16, but the s is pretty great as is.

I second this. I have several Caravelas, Provaris and a GGTS and every one of them has an iGo-L on it (airhole bored to 1/16th). I've literally tried it all and the iGo-L has brought me back to basics and provides the most consistent and well-rounded vape.

I squeeze a ml in mine so don't let its "dripper" classification fool you, she's a tank

Vendor on this?

OOH, I always wanted to try 2x DID standards (PIF hint...)

 

[skizif]

havent seen them in stock anywhere lately, but i got mine at myvaporstore.com for about $15 shipped.

Just about everyone sells them (DV, HEC, etc.) but just about everyone is out of stock due to the Chinese holiday.

Is yours different from the images on their site? I got mine today from MVS, and it doesn't have the "tapered" top like every image I've seen of the IGO-L. It came in the same box I've seen in videos, but mine has a rounded top and no taper at all.

There's two versions and the one you have is the newer version. The older one has the post very close to the cover. The cap on the newer ones are a lot tighter than the older version too.

Another vote for the IGO, which I bought on account of Funky Vapes' very comprehensive review. It's an awesome little thing, exactly as described, and delivers great taste and huge vapor with minimal effort.



Also: FV and that adorable Todd guy are my fave reviewers - always practical and entertaining. When considering a new gadget I always check to see if one of those guys has done a tutorial on it, because they're both really clever about showing exactly how the device works. That, to me, is much more helpful than the Restaurant Review style of video, in which the reviewer offers up his personal opinion at great length and with huge clouds of vapor (who cares?) but never really takes the thing apart to help you understand it.

Anyhow, the OP might try Googling one or both of those guys if s/he still can't decide. They're great.

Clouds of vapor has them in stock now ... but they are about $4-5 more than "normal" (what I paid for mine) cost. Still under $20 though.

Supply/demand.


Oh yeah and I also vote for the IGO-L.

i ordered 20 (IGO L's) direct from Youde themselves, i believe i will be getting the slanted top version which is the newest. My first IGO L is the non slanted top version, my speculation is the slanted top will allow for better vapor/taste etc because it takes some of the internal volume away. update when they arrive. I also have 20 coming in a co op and am curious to see if they are the same, guessing since the co op is from Youde as well they will be the same. 40 IGO L's you might think is crazy...i just think it's perfect and will allow me to ALWAYS have an IGO L ready/on hand ...also with 5 mechanical mods right now, and probably close to 14 by the end of the month...each mech needs it's own IGO L...

A7 is very well built. I use mine on a homemade DNA bottomfeeder. Its airflow comes from the bottom, as your standard consumable atty/carto, rather than a side-hole where your liquid can leak out. All SS construction and adjustable positive pin. Can be fully disassembled for sanitizing at your convenience. Philips-head screws on the coil connections spaced across the air hole.

I'll be buying a Killer soon, also.

I liked reading thread but it is kinda funny because the OP was interested in more info,on the Octopus, eternity and bully which I don't know much about and was hoping to hear more about them. I can google in the meantime and come back to see if some more posters jumped in.

Next I'm looking to go RDA.

Well the Smok RDA/Octopus (on other sites) is in my mind a great design (duh..copy of the ERA one of the best), however...they have BRASS POSTS...unless your comfortable with your juice touching brass and vaping the consequences, i'd stay far away from the Smok RDA/Octopus. The best (like the OP asked for) under $30 is hands down the IGO L, it has high end genny users marveling over it, and they're (including myself) previously using $100-$150+ attys...

Do you have a source for this information? Others are saying the opposite; that the tapered-top is the newer version and the non-tapered the older.

See what I mean?

[thecatanddog]

I will know this wweek for sure which is the "newest" version, my order should be arriving any day now, and whatever is in the package will be the current model, they are coming directly from Youde, so i will post pictures when i get them. Stay tuned.

I have the rounded type: the caps are very snug, and they have black o-rings. I believe that's the newer version, and that the older version is less snug, with red o-rings.

In any event, I expect they both work very well.

Do a search for Igo-l and you'll find the first pics on this site are all of the slanty top with the orange bushings.

 

[thecatanddog]

i am hoping to find out for sure tomorrow. i will post what the "current" version is as I have a wholesale order of them coming from UD
