Cheap RDA for testing juice?

[novamatt]

I make DIY juice, and I'm looking for something that works a little better for testing than my mini protank - I don't want to have to use 1-2ml to test, so I'm thinking about a dripper. Since it would only be used for trying them out, I don't want to drop a ton of money on it. I'd also like it to be relatively easy to build on... I'm not looking to get into crazy advanced coils on this one. Does anyone have an inexpensive rda (clones are fine) that they like and can recommend?

igo-w is cheap and easy to build on. You can usually find it for around $10-$15.

The IGO-S or IGO-L cost just over £10 here and are perfect for eliquid testing. Single coil, no bells, whistles or air control, and cheap.

I have several 'high end' RDAs; but for just juice testing...tough to beat the Igo-L. They're cheap, easy to build. The only thing I do to them is drill out the air hole a bit.

The IGO-L & IGO-W get my vote. Simple, cheap and easy to build on.

I'll second (or third) the IGO. Easy to build, great vape.

Smok Mini RDA. It's around $5 to $10 and super easy to build on. Heck you could buy a couple to rotate juice tasting. It was my first RDA 6 months ago and I'm still using it (as well as a Trident V2 clone and a Patriot clone).

SMOKTech MINI RDA Atomizer

Fasttech sells them for about $5. $4.77 RDA Mini Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer (1.0mL) - 2.4

Try an IGO-S. Simple, cheap, easy to build, and a very small chamber for improved flavor. Dual coil RDA's like the IGO-W are all the rage these days, they are better for all-out performance at high wattage, but you can't beat a small single-coil design for taste testing. I'd trade my IGO-L for an S in a heartbeat, although it still can be made to work quite well. My W isn't a fair comparison in terms of cloud chucking performance, but that is why I have it.

Second these! I have a couple. Super easy to build, and the top cap is a soft aluminum so it's easy to drill out.

Igo-L.

It's one of the more highly underrated pieces of vape kit there is. Drill out the top cap to 1/16" (if you're going for flavor and not clouds, a smaller hole will be better - the stock hole is little more than a pin .....). With that build the coil to about .8Ω-1Ω and you'll have a flavor machine.

Can't beat an Igo for good value. I use them all the time and am very satisfied for the (little) money spent.

I have the IGO-L and Smok RDA, both are great for testing juice and inexpensive. The IGO-L has a better deck to work on but the Smok RDA has wholes in the posts for easier install of coils. I couldnt decide which one to get so i got both and im glad i did!

Igo l, I really like the s for flavor and actually had 3, but the center pins got wonkey and only one still makes contact with any of my mods

 

[novamatt]

Thanks, everyone. I tried out the Igo-L, Igo-W, and Igo-W4 at the local B&M and went with the W4 because I liked the draw on that one the best. It's working great - I really appreciate all the recommendations.

Has anyone tried the Smok dripper RDA? My IGO L arrived yesterday and it's my very first rebuildable anything, but man trying to wrap the posts with my clumsy fingers is rough!

I test juices with a Phoenix clone. They're 8$ on DV

If you think that's bad, try the IGO-S, the 15mm version. In my opinion they are better for testing eliquid than a dual-coil dripper would be -- only one wick to swap.
