Good, very simple, single coil RDA

[bover907]

I'm going to start DIYing my own N.E.T. juices, by extracting my own tobaccos. I've never been a dripper, I've used rta's for the past 4+ years.

Wondering if someone could recommend a good, reliable, simple single coil dripper for testing throughout the steeping process. I'll probably never use it for anything other than that.

Quite a few out there actually. My favorite is the Govad. Wonderful flavor. Tsunami and Goon can also be used as single coil atties. The pulse 22 is pretty good as well.

If you usually use an RTA I would suggest maybe getting a clone of the RTA you use for testing. An rda will have a much different performance than an RTA.

Thanks. I was intrigued by the govad. That'll probably be the one i get.

With the same build at same watts, would the RTA really make that much of a difference? I just plan on using it to test cold macerations to check on the steeping process, check on flavor.

The Govad I had was a leaking machine. I expect that there will be folks saying I didn't use it correctly, or dripped wrong, or over-dripped. To those I will say up front that I REALLY wanted to like the Govad, and tried a lot of different builds and dripping techniques but it still leaked.

For MY money - there are better choices, and I don't have to work nearly as hard to get a leak-free vape. I happily sold the Govad, and am glad to have it gone - life is too short to fiddle around with a poorly designed, finnicky RDA that leaks constantly.

If you want a decent single-coil RDA there are tons of better choices, IMO. A few that I am currently using are the Hadaly (clones and authentics), Pulse 22, Origen Little 16 (clones and authentics), Wasp Nano, and Solo clone.

For flavor over clouds, I go with the Origen Little, and the clones are very nice for 10 bucks. In the middle lies the Hadaly, which gives a warmish vape with a restricted direct-lung hit. I use the Pulse 22 with a single stainless steel clapton at around .25-ohms and it is a bit cool on a single-battery mech - but it still gives decent vapor, though not as much flavor compared to the other two.

I use claptons in the Wasp and Solo but you have to be careful with either because they will spit if you over saturate the coil/wick.

To answer your last question - I would test in an RDA that suits your vaping style.

You sir just made me smarter, i didn't even know a dripper could leak 0.0 first time i hear that one for sure! Though i can't really answer op's question as i don't use single coils.

The Narda or the Pocket RDA would be worth looking into for a Flavor leaning Single Coil RDA.

Check out the Maze by Vandy Vape might be what your looking for kinda pricey for just juice testing tho.

I use a Gorge. Easy build and wick.

It can. The fluid dynamics of an atty play a role in what the vapor end product will be.
