Fresh from Germany RDA XL2!

[unloaded]

Well I've been looking for a 22mm atty and this looks really nice. I ordered three of them! I'm pretty sure a guy at the local shop will be wanting one of them. It was just under $112 for all three of them shipped of here. Now the wait begins. How long did yours take to get here? How big are those holes for the wire? Looks like two pieces of 28g should fit in them. The knurling at the bottom looks nice and I like how it's got a radius on the top rather than a straight, square edge. I'm thinking one on the Poldiac and the other on the Stealth.

Ordered mine on Friday > processed Friday > shipped Saturday > got here this morning.

The holes look to be a standard post hole size...my braided 28g went in easily. I can test it when I rebuild and PM you, but two straight 28g wires will easily fit for sure!

I'm giving it the bar test tonight so we'll see how this humongous drip well does. I put in 25 drops out of a 15ml bottle and it didn't spill out after holding it on its side for over a minute. I know this depends on how much wick you shove in that canyon, but I could have (and will later) put more in.

The knurling is pretty awesome I must say. I didn't know how it would look when I first looked at it but it is already growing on me, heh.

Here she is on my Natural...snap crackle and poppin away!

Awesome little dripper!

Are you sure? Many thought the IGO-L was all-stainless...it's not. Same with 90% of the cheap drippers I've seen. If you can point me to an all-stainless $10 RDA I'll be happy to buy one.

The DRAs are big at 22mm, and should hold a lot of juice. I consider the price very fair, but I agree the shipping is a bit much, and it can take weeks to get items from Europe if they ship DHL.

What isn't stainless in the IGO-L? The posts?

I've warmed up to the idea of getting one of these.. the more I thought about, especially it being 22mm.

I'll wait to hear the final verdict though.

 

[KillTheNoise]

Okay...I'm back, and may be slightly intoxicated!

After the first night in the bar...it has passed the test. However! It failed in one area...

The o-rings for the cap should be bigger. I pulled the cap off three times trying to get my mod out of my pocket...and luckily I had vaped what I dripped before hand or I would've had multiple pockets full of juice.

That was the only problem...and its an easily fixed one. So in my book, its an awesome freakin arty and I can't wait to try different builds!

It's a ParaOrdinance subcompact .45, 5+1 with LDA trigger.

Yep, the posts are chrome-plated brass. Take the screws out and look inside the holes.

They came in today w00t! Here's one on my Poldiac coil is 1 ohm 29g Kanthal on 3.5mm silica wick. Drilled the airhole out it was way too tight for me.

I've had a problem with my RDA XL 2s, and I was wondering if anyone else had encountered this.

They are great little devices but on both of mine, if screwed down onto a device with a 'gap' between mod and atty, the centre post in the RDA gets pushed up inside, moving the rubber insulators and creating a short. After it happens one time, it's damn hard to get it all back lined up and then I find I have to be VERY delicate screwing it down on to a mod else it happens again. Often it then has to sit loose on the mod to connect without shorting.

Any ideas?

The insulators are way too soft in these. Also on one of mine, the rectangular piece that has the center pin and positive post on it, the corners touch the negative post when it's at either 45 degree angle. This makes for a dead short! I took it completely apart and put enough of a radius on the corners so they can't touch. I'm gonna try to find some stiffer insulators, maybe off of my AGA or something. The mod I'm using these on has an adjustable center pin so I can screw it on flush and make contact without smashing the silicone insulators. I like the design but a few things need tweaked and I suspect that they will be soon.

 

[Marob]

Yeah, this happens on mine too, if the swivel block is at 45 degrees. My first actually was missing the nut holding it in place.

The bottom-most insulator is a small ring (normally pops half out it the post is pushed too far inside) that kind of sits under the lip of the flat end. I'm going to try and pick up some small o-rings on Monday and stick them in there to see if that helps with the movement.

It's a shame because (with a slightly larger airhole) this thing performs really well!

Many are not aware of this. Nor are they aware of the potential health risks.

Hey all,
I have this atty and it arrived (several weeks ago) with the center post recessed up in the threads. I just found this thread stating that it can be dis-assembled. If I can get it apart I can use something to keep the post down where it needs to be.
The OP said the Neg post must be removed to unthread the pos center post. Its press fit? Has anybody taken it out and got it back together without harm?
TIA,
Ken
