Help picking a new RDA

[Robert Dean]

I'm looking for a new rda, I have a $60 budget. Must be able to run dual coils. Clones are fine with me so long as they are of good quality. What I'm looking for in order.

1. No leakage and good quality
2. Flavor
3. Clouds
4. Black (maybe in matte to match my SMPL?)

Please feel free to ask questions if you can think of any more info that may be helpful to you!

I recently bought a mephisto v2 from the classifieds here and it is great + fits your requirements.
The Troll works too.
Stillare v3 is also great. I've got a great copper clone from FT, but black is also available.

I agree completely. And for that price, I'll pick that one up and a second atty if I can! Haha. How is FT btw? I've heard a lot of bad things? You order from there much?

Troll is my current atty. should have mentioned that. Not satisfied with the flavor output, and mine leaks like a sieve.

I agree that the RDA looks great. The Tobeco clone on eciggity has been getting bad reviews though. A number of purchasers have said that the grub screws came stripped.

Don't have a suggestion for an atty for you but I can say that I've ordered 4 times for fastech with no issue.

 

[DaveSignal]

I order from FT frquently too. Usually I wait until a SKU has discussions and reviews though, because FT doesn't list the clone manufacturer for most of its clones. So the only way to know is to wait for others to try it out and report back. FT has really great stuff, but they also have garbage products too.

Twisted Messes RDA is my favorite at the moment. $59.95 plus shipping Flavor is pretty good with some airflow shut off. Leaking, every RDA will leak, it just depends on the user not over dripping or tipping it over. Doesn't come in black, but has a blue and silver AFC ring, along with 3 different drip tip options included.

I want to throw out the Lycan by cigreen. It literally is a beast. The only problem it has is The dang grub screws they use, I changed em. It is highly underated, is capable of more airflow that the mutation x v4 with under and side airflow. Vapordna has it for 35 bucks. And recently it launched in black, but comes with a nice metal competition cap as well as 510 adapter and replaceable copper center post.

I agree to a point about the leaking thing. It doesn't matter what I do, my troll leaks. I could drip 3 drops on it and I'd have fluid coming out the bottom into my 510 and out the AFC down the sides of my mod.

I just took a look at this because I thought I might purchase one. If not for the splash gaurd in the drip tip... kinda makes it so you have to take off the top cap to redrip.

Is your center post in there securely? My troll does not do that.

For a no leak design, you can look at the top-air-intake designs for example the manta:

the veritas design is also very leak resistant.

Splash guard is removeable but I use the competition cap so it's a moot point lol. That being said it has a massive drip well. I also developed the habit of popping the drip tip off when filling and have never stopped. Prior to the Lycan I was using a mutation v3 so I lean towards the airflow side.

I'm not in the usa so just about all my stuff is from fasttech; no major problems

+1 to the Twisted Messes.
Another one from CompVape is the 13 Heavens and 9 Hells. I have both of those and their El Cabron. They all fit your budget and come well-packed with extra Parts. No issues with Quality in the least. Big Fan of those in all Facets. Ease of build, Flavor, Vapor/Clouds, and overall Design.
The 13/9 comes with a Black & Copper Ring to meet your Aesthetic wants. The El Cabron comes in either all Silver or all Black.
As said above, ALL will "leak" to some degree. Mostly due to Air Flow Design as also said above. But, equally to blame is over-fill and User movement. It may be thick but it is still Liquid so gotta be aware and careful on both those fronts.
A Deep Juice Welled RDA (5mm and +) will help a lot in those regards.

Have you considered the derringer? It's got the option of building single or dual coils, decent sized build deck for a super compact chamber, no leaks if you don't overfill. Added bonus, it looks dead sexy in black on a smpl.
