i want an RDA with only two posts, and one airhole. help me find something nice.

[Cullin Kin]

Get a magma and set the airflow to single hole.

 

[abpigdoc]

That Magma intrigues me, that deep juice well. But the pics I'm seeing online, it looks like there are 2 holes in the coil-mounting area, are they air holes? I like a fairly tight draw, which is why I've been following this thread quite avidly -- I also like single-coil, one air hole designs.

I'm guessing that rayon would wick like a champ in that, with those long wick ends dangling into the juice well.

I've got a Magma, and although there are two holes for AFC on the sides of the deck, there is a graduated 'wheel' that spins around the atty that you can control the air with. Light and airy or tighter and 'more flavor', this is a sweet little dripper. If you do dual coils, you need that kind of control. Not hard to build, either I love it!

 

[Grimwald]

haven't read thru every post, but I know of 3.

Igo-L
Smoktech octopus
Smoketech Squid

 

[Kenna]

The tugboat v1 has two very generously sized air holes, and no afc. The v2 also has two air holes, but has afc so you can block one of them off.

Gotcha. I thought it was just one w/o afc. Thanks for the correction!

My feelings on clones are well known, I don't own any but I also understand money being tight. With than in mind there is a clone of the Achilles RDA available Achilles Atomizer Clone / Titanium RDA / Achilles RBA . Don't ask me about quality cause I done know but for $27.00 and free shipping it may be worth a shot.

 

[shawnphase]

hey guys, thanks for all the suggestions. i went and checked a few rda's out today, stuff like plume veils and similar things and im also thinking maybe i should go with that magma. the achilles would be good but the cap looks a little tall and if i have to order something online without being able to check it out i kind of want to keep it under 20 or 25 bucks if i can. i figure that magma will work well. i really wish they made the tugboats with just one airhole. ive been using an igo-w that has 2 airholes that a friend gave me and just plugging one up with cotton. really surprised that theres so few 2 post and single airhole options left in the world of rda's. before the igo-w i was using a kumiho mini a6, which im sure you can image was absolutely fun to learn to build on...so its a bit frustrating that i cant really find something that i want. i'd be into the igo-l more if the delrin insulator wasnt so damn huge. i know its not the best thing to do for your atomizer, but i like to build my coils closer to the posts on these hana boxes. i figure im not subohming, and i mount the coil with plenty of space and cotton inbetween the coil and the insulator, and at 1.7 at that and i havent noticed any damage or discoloration on the insulator so i figure its ok, but i do want to get another rda asap. one last question, does anybody know if the screws in the magma clone on ft are galvanized or not? thanks again for the input.

The igo-l is nearly identical to the igo-w. Top cap is the same size and fits directly onto the igo-w. Makes the w a perfect atty for single coils. Though the l is somewhat of a PITA with no holes in the posts to capture coil legs. They have to be pinched between the post and the screw head. If you enjoy the w but don't like having to stuff the extra hole you might consider just getting the l and putting the top cap from it on the w. The extra post isn't going to get in the way.

 

[olderthandirt]

Love this thread.
Been aware of the Magma, it's on my wish list. Was not aware of the Veritas Achilles. It is now on the wish list as well (-:

 

[AzPlumber]

The new Cartel Stilare V2i air holes are set up to run duals or single.

 

[shawnphase]

that stillare v2i looks good, but i want SS posts for sure. i was actually thinking about doing just that with the igo-l top cap too. i think what i might do is grab one of those and the magma or the origen and maybe that too. though i was checking this patriot clone out and i kinda like the top cap more. think it'd fit on an igo-w base? hard to say what to do, but certainly a combination of some of these things will be in my future, hehe.

Yeah I looked at a bunch of pics on google, and I did see a lot of duals on it, but I finally did see a nice single; looks like it ought to be mounted sorta diagonally, so the wick can be diagonal into the sides of the well, like the coil and wick make an X. I might just have to try this one out, if I can find a really inexpensive clone.

It's a shot in the dark at the very least. None of my top caps are interchangeable except the two Igo caps.

Also might consider an infinite clt or a zenith v2 clone. I wouldn't pick up an original zenith unless you plan on machining some part of it yourself. Crescent moon isn't one for quality control.

Andria... infinite makes a fantastic magma clone. I have one in black and one stainless.

The new Cigreen Holmes may be a candidate.

Holmes RDA by Cigreen - $26.99 USA | Best Vape Deals

 

[Dreypa]

I'd suggest magma clone, cheap and efficent.
Has two post holes, but mulitple airholes, you can close it off for single coil if thats what you prefer though.
Use mine on a hana clone with a 1ohm coil and it works perfectly.

 

[shawnphase]

hey hey, so i just wanted to give you guys the final consensus on what i went with here:

$9.92 Zenith V2 Style Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

zenith v2 style clone, but as i asked in the discussion, a helpful ft user responded that the ring's got 2 holes, and the barrel has 3, which makes this perfect for single coiling it up. perhaps too good to be true even? i see a deck, decent posts and screws, a small insulator, and some good airflow? how will it perform on a hana? i guess i'll find out in about a week or so. thanks again everybody, maybe i'll post back and let people know. i'd say this was probably one of the best choices. anybody else use this rda?

 

[kickflipsnnollies]

I haven't used it, but the Zenith has always looked nice to me. Maybe a bit overkill for your needs. I doubt you'll need those slots for your resistance, but it's nice to have either way.

I really popped in to give another vote for the Magma though. Very well designed for single coil, crazy deep juice well, amazing flavor and the easiest build I've ever done. And you'll have the option for a dual coil if you ever decide to try it. Options are nice, especially when they work smoothly. I suggest you go ahead and get one as well as your Zenith if you can afford it. Just avoid the Tobeco version unless you buy it in a B&M and can check your posts and airhole alignment.

 

[HgA1C]

Yk1 is a non-branded cyclone clone on fasttech for $5.93.

 

[beckdg]

Nope.

I use 1 v2 clone purchased elsewhere and 2 v2.5 authentics.

I still have to find a sweet spot on my 2 magmas. I might be that one person who winds up not liking them. Not sure yet. Kind of expecting it. It's not really built for extreme builds.

Methinks the more you push that zenith, the better you'll like it. It should pair well with the hana. I push in the range of 80 watts through mine every day.

 

[ProjektMayhem]

I use my Plume Veil in single coil mode sometimes. You can have it setup so that one of the main air holes is blocked off. But you still get the air flow coming up through the negative posts, 1 of the main air flow holes, and through the top cap air holes. So you get a lot of airflow for that one coil. She's a beast in single coil mode for sure!

Hey Andria, you wouldn't have a link handy for the single coil build you're talking about, would you? I'm thinking pretty hard about getting a magma...
