Just received a Dominator rda clone from fasttech ($9.51 Dominator Style Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - stainless steel / brass plated at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping) a couple of days ago - here's a short review that I posted on their product review area for this item. Short version - don't get it:
I'm fairly new to RDAs and was excited to get this one. I saw VapingwithTwisted420's YouTube review of another Dominator clone and was hoping this one would match up decently, but was sadly very disappointed.
While it looks nice, the build of the 3 posts was sorely lacking; I noticed right away that none of them were oriented correctly. The 2 side posts were about 20-30 degrees off, while the center post is 60-70 degrees off - the hole for the coil insert points almost directly towards one of the side posts. The side post orientation was not a big deal, there are screws in the bottom you can use to adjust them, but the center post screws directly into the base - the only was to get it oriented correctly is to unscrew it and let it sit loose in the base, where it could swing freely.
But the real deal killer here is that, in order to insert the coils, you actually have to pull up on the posts, NOT push down as you do in the one VapingwithTwisted420 reviewed, in order to open up the hole in order to insert the coil. I spent a frustrating 20 min trying everything, thinking they were just stuck or something, before I figured it out. Could...not...believe...it!
In order to insert my coils, I had to get a pair of needle nose pliers and pull up on the post with one hand, brace the base with the other while trying to inch the coil in with a finger from the hand holding the base down. ARGHHH! Just not worth the frustration - it's going into the "only if it's the last RDA available at the apocalypse" pile. Don't get this one until the post issues are fixed.
