and to add to that, the weight feels wrong for aluminum
i wanna say it feels heavier than my IPV3
casted metal + plastic buttons = cheaper production = price win for us

It certainly looks well made from the insides. Mostly fasteners instead of glue. Very serviceable.
im not saying its super cheaply made pos LOL.... just stating that its looking like they went with the cheapest easiest to use/manufacture materials, but because of that they probably also did a better job with the inturnals, which is a good thing for us
it feels solid to me and i have no complaints with the build quality but from a production side of it, the more i look at it, and we talk about it, the more it makes sense to me as to why they used what they used
now casted pot metal does have its downsides, its softer and easy to mar, but so is aluminum
but its biggest flaw is, it will crack when put under heavy stress ie: dropping it, crushing it ect.
this type of metal is easy to cast and machine compared to other stuff so it makes it a cheap production option
but im just speculating, cause im not going to mess mine up to find out what its made out of LOL
but as it stands its either some kind of aluminum or casted pot metal

Yes, I saw casting sprues on the inside of the casing.
My apologies if that came out wrong. I am in total agreement with you regarding the price win aspect.
Woah Bro, Bang'in some High Watts and making it rain in your living room is where it's at. I mean Are you even vape'in Bro ?? Ah, yeah. I might be a Tootle Puffer sometimes, other times I do crank it up a bit, but I respect it all. How all this turned into a Sport I don't know, all I know is "I DON'T SMOKE ANYMORE". Thats all that should be the end result, I think anyways. I'm Gone, and you are right aikanae1.

Well, I for one, am just glad when anyone vapes. That is what matters. And to change the subject, I am waiting to order the Subox kit until I have vape funds available, but I did get a killer deal on ebay. Someone listed 2 separate "vape drippers" and I got both for less than $10. Good deal?
Tugboat! Nice! The tugboat and plume veil are my two favs for flavor rdas.Well, I for one, am just glad when anyone vapes. That is what matters.

How are you guys wicking the RBA? I've done loads of different ways and it does vape nice at 30w (default installed coil @ 0.5ohms) but it does seem that it's not wicking to its fully capacity as the vapor isn't as "wet" as one of the premade heads.
Thank you for daring to break it apart. I will be mixing and matching my white and black pieces for sure now.
Good Design ALWAYS places Functionality over Price.
What good is Making a Mod 4 Dollars Cheaper if it Breaks when dropped on a Hard Surface? Or saving 3 Bucks on an RTA by making it out of Steel that will form Iron Oxides?
But Once Functionality is Achieved, adding something like More Strength, when you Add More Cost, is Not a Good Design.
Nothing wrong with making things out of Cast Parts. And it is a Very Cost Efficient way to make Near Finished Parts that require Little (or Sometimes no) machining.
Cast Parts many times get a Bad Name not because they are Cast, but because an Inferior Material is used in the Casting.
I still haven't dug into the RBA yet. I will post pics once I do but I have always had wicking issues with the subtank RBA's even after drilling them out so I may not be a good source on this one.
This is a totally different animal with the new rba though, right? Maybe you'll have better luck with the juice holes vs. juice channels.
