I have a feeling the Quasar (clone) is gonna kick ....
Single/dual coil capable, adjustable slotted air flow, deep juice well, short domed chamber.
Hopefully the clone will be 1:1 copy. I'll post when they arrive.

You think it'll be similiar to the valkyrie dripper topper? I betcha it's similiar so I should probably pick up this bad boy.

I actually like my tobh, I own 2, just cause I got the 2nd one at a great price from the classys. For what its worth and the price of it you actually do get a lot, hell I paid damn near the same thing for my patriot that doesnt do what the tobh does. Just my opinion though lol I would love to try the stillare or the quasar. I wish they changed more on the patriot than making the top cap slide over the base. I love rda's, dripping is really all I do anymore. Other than my russian. By the way, the4thpower3, where did you get the clones of the stillare and quasar from? If you dont mind me asking.

If I were buying originals - I'd def pick the Tobh over the Patriot.
But I'd still pick the CIA Halo cap over the Tobh - because I'm cheap.
I must say besides the tabs (which can easily be ground off); the deck looks awesome with the juice well, one piece machined in neg posts, and copper 510 pin. If I could find one for $50 or less, I'd buy it.

I wanted the Quasar and Stillare so bad that I ordered 10 of each (moq)directly from Cigreen (the manufacturer/china distributor) through Alibaba.
I plan on keeping two of each and selling off the rest.
They should be shipping out tomorrow. Hopefully have them by this weekend.

I actually did a preorder through capitallvapes about 4 weeks ago for 2 halo caps, he said "its on its way" so I dont know when ill actually get them but the quasar is definitely something I wanted but can never find. Plus I hate spending over 100$ on an rda but thats just me. I wanted the brass and of course thats the more expensive one. The tabs on the tobh are annoying, but I like the air flow option, ive been debating whether or not to take them off. I actually use my patriot everyday, thats why I wanted the halo for it.

I think it will be slightly wider than the Valkyrie dripper.
Hopefully the airflow slots are bigger than the Valk's.
It should have a nice deep drip well :)

Yeah, he takes longer to ship to individuals because he sends bulk orders to other distributors.
It took a few weeks to get mine.

The only negatives I have on the Halo cap is - the domed chamber is so short that it's possible that your outer post screws may touch. So you may need different screws or grind them down a little. The machining isn't as good as the Tobh. And the o-rings can be a little on the loose side.

Yeah I figured he ships to all those companies first. When I first ordered no one had them now ive came across like 15 places that I could of bought them from. Now that you told me that im really not even looking forward to them to be honest, especially for what I paid for 2 and to have them be like that? I could of got something different for that price.

Sorry man, I don't mean to be a downer. It's not that bad. I don't think many people have the screw issue - I had larger head screws in my IgoW - so it happened to me. I just put smaller screw back in and can run 22awg without a problem. Somebody else posted a pic of her topcap not sitting all the way down running 24awg - she may have been using too long a screw as well.
The machining is actually quite good. The dome on mine just had some "marks" on it - doesn't make any difference in performance.
The O-rings aren't that loose - it depends on what base you are using and how old those orings are. Actually my double o-ringed drip tip fits nice and tight in the top - so when I do to drip, I just tug on the drip tip and the top cap comes off leaving the base/sleeve - which is actually perfect. I'm betting you'll still like it.

Vapemail - just got my second SSS.
This one is the white box FT version (without the drip tip).
Looks great fresh out of the box. No issues except the switch is a little more wobbly than the others I have.
Seems the brass threaded ring is a little loose on the post. Too bad, I'd rather it be tight and crunchy - I could fix that.
Loose - not sure what to do about that...
Otherwise every thing seems great.

I'd say you are on a good start :)

Sounds like you need more attys.
Forget the Tobh. Waste of money. It's all hype. I've seen people grinding off the airflow tab on the base because it just gets it the way.
I personally think it's a bad design. I don't like the logo either.
Better off with a CapItAllVapes Halo cap on an IgoW base. I love mine :)

I can't wait for my Quasar and Stillare clones to arrive and see how they do.

If the Quasar and Stillares are good, I might just have to snag one of em off of you lol. Right now I'm focusing on getting more atties, didn't think I'd like the Magma from the pictures but one of the members of my FB groupbuy group posted this gem and I had to get on a groupbuy. Wanted a dripper with a huge well anyway.

Do the stainless steel ones perform comparable to the brass ones?

Based on the information from Infinite, their model does not come with the ugly drip tip or any drip tip for that matter. Also, it only comes with 2 dedicated tubes, one for the 18650 the other for the 18350 with an extension for use with 18490. I was also told that they have not shipped any of the Black Copper edition to date and they expect to start shipping next week. If true that means anyone advertising Infinite models on hand are lying.

I asked Infinite on their Instagram last night and they stated that the drip tip is included but, according to my runner, are still in production. Early shipments of the Black Copper look like they won't be getting it, not 100% sure on it.

LMAO! I must have them all (clones that is) ;)

It's all about personal preference and those preferences may change if you keep playing/trying/building.
I really can't say what my favorite RDA is. I can virtually get any rda to blow clouds and get tons of flavor.
Do you want the option to build dual coils? Adjustable airflow? Do you need an adjustable 510 pin?
Do you care what size the atty is - ie. you want it to sit flush on 22mm mods, etc.?
Do you mind modifying the atty (drilling air holes and post holes)?

...

4th thank you for such a well thought out response. Guess I was a bit short sighted with my question, I did not take any of those things into consideration. I'm not opposed to putting in some time/elbow grease to mod them to proper performance if needed. As you stated, I will need to experiment with different setups and coil builds to find what suits me best. Of course if you have any tips and tricks I'm all ears (or eyes in this case).

I ordered a few Stillare, Enigma and Helios RDAs yesterday. I'll have to play with them when they come in and see if I can find their sweet spots for my taste. The good thing is I won't be completely in the dark when it comes to building standard coils.

Sent an email to the rep regarding this, haven't heard back from her yet.

Hoping for flush King and AR mod group buys to open.
I was going to order a few of the new King mods, but I decided not to since the brass version is not knurled...not that the knurling seems to have any real function on the original.

After those I'll be done. I think.
Sir, based on this thread alone...I call FALSE!!

Awesome. Is there a website to preorder?

I'm not sure about that. There is another inferior clone out there that some sellers were/are trying to pass as the Infinite. I ordered a few directly from the manufacturer to be sure I'd get the proper version. Of course that required purchasing more than I need...
