Considering an RDA.

[levivapes]

I am considering buying an rda just to give them a shot. One of my local shops is having a sale on Troll RDAs, which I was recommended a while back when I just getting into vaping. Figure I might just pick it up since its 5 bucks. Rebuildable Atomizer - Wotofo - Troll RDA
Think the troll is a pretty decent beginner rda?

Troll RDA by Wotofo
Not crazy about the deck, wire hole look pretty small but it isn't bad for a start at $5. You will be limited on what style of coils you can use maybe.

In my opinion for a beginner RDA something with a Velocity style deck is easier. Look at a Troll V2.

While I agree there are better, but for $5 local it will do.

I agree that for a beginner, a Velocity style deck is easier. Getting into rebuildables is daunting and intimidating enough as it is. Might as well learn on an easier RDA.

Plenty of open space to install coils. Just two large posts. Large holes in the posts make it easier to install your wires. A deep juice well. Air flow options galore. Tough to beat a Velocity style, especially for just $20.

I agree with everything said.....but for $5, I'd get the Troll. It's a decent RDA and not hard to learn on. Most of us learned on way harder rdas. Anyone remember the Trident RDA?
Are there easier rdas to build on? Absolutely...but the Troll is, by no means, on the difficult side of the scale. If you hate rdas, you're out $5 and you didn't have to wait for it.

I agree, won't be near as bad as the 3 post I learned on.

Here's a Velocity clone. I still use my Velocity every once in awhile.

My first RDA was a Stillaire 3 post. The next was a Plume Veil that had a deck like the Troll. The next was a Velocity. That's when I fell in love with RDAs.

I could pretty much build anything after my first rda. All downhill and smooth sailing now. Wicking is a different matter.

Wicking is the art and now you are an artisan.

My first RDA was a Nimbus. I didn't like it because the airholes were too big.

The Troll and Velocity are both high airflow designs for big clouds. The slanted air things on the Troll are adjustable, but can't be focused down to a hole like a slot adjustment. The original Troll does say it can be used with single coils, but the V2 looks like it can't. I can't even figure out the Velocity. Perhaps you want a cloud chaser RDA and only want to use duals, but if not (ever) these things are issues. I don't think I could get my vape from either of them, so they wouldn't be good at beginner or experienced build levels.

That said, I have a half dozen unused RBAs sitting around that were all more than $5.

Did I read that wrong, or are you saying since you can't get a good vape from them, they're not good for beginners or experienced vapers? And did you also say you can't figure out the Velocity?

nevermind.....I read it 3 more times and think I see what you're saying now.

Just about any RDA with a 2 post Velocity style deck can be used with single or dual coils horizontally or vertically. I don't know about any of the Trolls because I've never used one. With the Velocity you can use the airflow anywhere from wide open to completely closed off. The Velocity was very innovative in it's time and it's build deck has become an industry standard. Especially for a beginner that doesn't want to spend alot of money on an RDA a $6 Velocity clone can't be beat IN MY OPINION.

I loved the velocity when it came out

OG Troll deck isn't bad.

That looks awesome. I may have to look into that.

Thanks I may also look into this one then. Just looking to give it a try, I havent even tried an RDA yet.
