Do you guys think RDA'S will become extinct at some point?

Meanwhile it's not the clouds the ANTZ are arguing. Its saying that every flavor that isn't tobacco is going to hook children and bogus claims of Formaldehyde and Antifreeze.
Everywhere I go now, somebody is telling me vaping is more dangerous than cigarettes. It's the bogus studies that have caused all of this and the .... everybody reads on Facebook from every source including Buzz Feed and IFL Science. Even the CDC has anti-vaping advertising all over Social Media. Like the click bait pharmaceutical ad talking about the woman whose lung collapsed.
Two and three years ago, there wasn't a vape shop or three in every city in my area. Two and three years ago, our big tobacco retailer, Wild Bills which consists of around 70 stores wasn't making most of their money from vaping.

Oddly enough the only place you hear alot of whining about cloudz is here.
I've heard every warning of impending doom about vaping. But I was holding a C4 when I told it. Now that I'm using 7000 horsepower nobody has re-warned me.
I do have to follow a number of rules because of stealth vapers. But all the restrictions are 3-5 years old so no connection to cloud chasing.

I say it all the time, RDAs "are" the purest form of vaping. It goes all the way back to the first guy that took the top off a flashlight, then put a little pan and coil in there and caught the first vape ever.
ANTZ use the exact same arguments they have used since before there were any cloud chasing, so it's obvious clouds aren't the issue.
Now come on. Just a bit green maybe. He`s been asking all the right questions Bud Wabbit. He`s just not been around long enough. Or he would know this ? gets asked about every week or two. 80% of regular joe`s come to vaping with tanks, for awhile those work fine. Then about 50% of those find out RDA`s is where its at after making the changes necessary to really accept vaping and get off the cancer sticks.
Now those Tootlers?? Shesh, LOL. (For the record my wife is a tootler, LOL)
The new generation of Subtanks Kick .... Just try a Uwell Crown with a .25 Ohm Atty, there is just is no comparison to the older Tank Devices.
Keep an open mind.
I've tried a lot of the new tanks and while they put out a lot of vapor, the flavor just isn't the same as an RDA. Vaping with an RDA is like drinking craft beer & spirits from the proper glassware instead of from the bottle or shooter.

That is another plus for rdas, it's so easy to switch flavors of test others!
I'm sure many folks had similar discussions when commercial ammunition manufacturers started producing mass quantities of ammo and made it readily available to the general public many moons ago. "Why would anyone handload ammo when you can buy it ready made?" ..However, then as now many folks prefer to "roll their own"..and always will.
LOL~ From your keyboard to China's ears, Zapped! I so hope you're right!
I think rda's will always have nastalgia if they were to go instinct. Which I don't think they will. I will admit tanks are easier and j haven't tried the tfv4 yet but I mean. It's like rda is driving manual. More fun and stuff but automatic is way easier. That's the way I see it
As a former competition shooter, I'll tell you that shotgun shells can be reloaded and are more accurate if done right. The analogy still stands.
I don't think RDAs are in any danger of going extinct, but I think the days of the $100+ RDA are definitely numbered. There's very little left in the way or design refinement in RDAs, and with the Chinese churning our clones of even the best ones for less than $20 it won't be long before the market for expensive ones collapses. There will be a handful of companies that will still make high priced ones just because there are some people who will pay that price for the exclusivity factor. It's bling and some people will pay top dollar for bling. It's an ego thing. But by and large I think the clones will morph into generics, and at a sub $20 price tag they'll become the norm for RDA users. Why pay more if the sub $20 RDA works just as well and has all the features that make an RDA great?
That's sort of happening with RTAs now. It used to be you either got a $100+ RTA or you got a poor clone. Now when people ask what a good RTA is they get answers ranging from the Lemo to the Subtank Mini with RDA deck to the Zephyrus or Goblin. All $20-$40 tanks. You never hear anyone recommend a $150 RTA anymore.

Another way of looking at it is that it used to be Manual Transmission gave better gas mileage then Automatic.
They improved the Automatic Transmission to the point that they both have = Gas Mileage.
Some will always prefer Manual but Automatic has improved tremendously. Same with Tanks.
I agree ha-ha but some prefer tanks. Me personslly, IDC. Let's just stay off cigs. For real
I dont think so.. Once youve built one right, its a world of difference in flavor and vapor.. "In the beginning" I never saw myself dripping (or needing anything more than my Kanger Evod hah), tanks were just convenient and easy. Once I started rebuilding those Kanger heads, I got really curious and got my first Kayfun. Was hooked. Had a not so great experience with my first RDA, a Magma that leaked everywhere, and didnt use it for months. After I bought 3 Kayfun 4s at the beginning of the year I decided to give it one more go when the Derringer came out and it was the game changer. I havent touched my Kayfuns since May, and now rotate through 3 Derringers and a Samurai Bonsai clone. Im really curious to try the new Cthulhu V2, because a tank would be nice when Im driving distances (my Derringer holds just enough to get me the 15 miles to work, I can always refill it if Ive got time to kill before I clock in) and the Cthulhu is supposed to have the airflow like a dripper, but other than that, nope, not touching a tank again. Too many parts to screw up (ever take apart a Kayfun 4?), and I like the freedom I have over builds with RDAs. Plus I hate feeling like Im sucking through a straw.
I had given up on tanks because I could not find one that had very good flavor. I was rocking the Veritas, Magma, then left them behind for the short attys with better flavor like the Freakshow Mini and Rogue with top airflow to stop the leaks.
I watched a review of the Goblin Mini and since it was only 29.2 mm tall without 510 pin and drip tip. About the size of the Veritas.
I bought a clone on eBay and the flavor BLEW ME AWAY. The flavor was as good as the short little Freakshow or Rogue. I left tanks for drippers then left drippers for the GMini. A few months later Jim G started rocking a Kayfun Lite Plus with Bell cap, and I'll be darned if the flavofg isbt almost as good as the GMini.
The Kayfun is OLD technology with excellent flavor.
So I rock the GMini and Kayfun with Bell cap.
