Looking to upgrade mod and rda

[Aidan Vapes]

Im currently vaping on a tugboat tuglyfe box mod clone and tugboat rda clone and im disappointing by both flavor and vapor production

So could someone point me in the direction of a good mod and rda which will give me good vapor production and great flavor, im looking to spend around £80 if possible?

I am in the UK

How long have you had them? Have you tried different builds with the same results?? More info please! Not trying to be a nudge, just want to try and help with getting you where you want to be!!

Tugboat RDAs are GREAT flavor makers. If you are having trouble getting flavor from it, you need to tweak your build. They are not cloud makers though. They will, however make thick, dense, flavorful, medium-sized clouds of happy.

Yep tried different coil builds single, double, 0.3 ohm up to 1 ohm and still low vapour with low flavor, remember this is a clone rda and clone mod, would that make a difference?

Nope. Probably not.

Have some pics of your builds??

Really depends on the quality of the clone and the company that manufactured it. The one clone rda that I own is a nice little dripper. I will say, it took a couple builds on it to find my happy place with it!! I don't own a tug so I'm not really familiar with it, nor do I own any unregulated devices. Now I'm wondering why I jumped your thread!! Maybe someone will chime in and give you some builds to try with them.

Sorry about that, good luck!!

Maybe try the search tool here and see if you can find some build advice for the tug atty that help!!

Ill get some pictures and stuff in the morning but i currently have a dual coil build with 28 gauge kanthol 5 wraps each reading 0.7ohms, tried higher tried lower all seems the same.

Can anyone recommend a god RDA and a mod for a reasonable price?Even if i get a good build in the tugboat im wanting to start a small collection

check out a velocity clone; you can set it up both for good flavor and big clouds.

+1 n the velocity. I picked one up a few weeks ago and haven't used any of my other RDA's since. But here's a pic of a good flavor build on the Tug. 24G Nichrome 80 duals, 3mm, 6 wraps, I think it was around .26 ohms. It was realy dark in that bar when I built it and I had a 6'er in me so it's a lil sloppy, but it worked great.Got a lil warm though.

Just received my xmas bonus from work (Yay!) So went to my local vape shop and treated myself to another setup to add to my collection, an eleaf istick 100W battery, crown tank and 30ml of Grizzly american desire juice (Lovely) but my tug on the elaf and it chucks the vapor like crazy! I think the lack of vapor and flavor is down to the tuglyfe clone mod im using

Sorry to hear you're not getting what you want out of the device, but that's cool that you got something new!

Before giving up on it try cleaning up the device battery contacts and atomizer contact. Make sure everything fits snug. Clean and smooth contacts can sometimes change a lot. The material everything is made out of can also sway the performance, which you can't do anything about unfortunately.

What gauge wire are you using on the 0.3? Even though building lower generally results in better vapor production, the wire gauge can have a great influence on the performance. Pictures of the device's insides and atomizer and 510 pin would gives us a better idea.

+1 on the Velocity, but what kind of PG/VG jooz are you running? Higher VG will contribute to cloud; Higher PG will contribute to flavor.... (I run between 20-30p/80-70v and have plenty of both flavor and vapor on my velocities.) This is with a kanthal build, too - actually 30g parallel, single coil ringing out about 1.4 ohms....)
