I just found this at DiscountVapers. I'm sure it's pretty new, haven't seen any threads on it yet, but anyone have one or have any info on it? It's available in stainless and for a little less in black and what I'm guessing is aluminum. One version has regular screws and the other has the holes in the post and thumb screws like the original rda. It looks to me like they went with a regular side air-hole for this but I can't tell for sure. DV is the only site I've seen so far with it, gonna check some more sites to get more info on it.

The 3 that are called Mini RDA in the rebuildables section.

Oh that's the name of them... yeah, I was looking at those. Great price, but I wonder if they're that cheap if they're really stainless steel. If they are, seems like a good deal.

Yeah haven't been able to get much info on it yet, and it looks like there's different versions out. The SS with screws (Mini RDA-a) is from Tobecco, and has different o-rings and slightly different dimensions. They're cheap enough I may get both versions.

The posts are mystery-metal chromed, probably brass. I honestly wonder when Chinese manufacturers are going to realize that brass in contact with juice isn't a good idea.

The SmokTech Mini RDA's posts looks just like the original, so definately brass. The Tobecco is like you say, mystery metal under chrome. I'm not concerned with what material is used, though I know others are.

I do worry about lead in brass when it's in direct contact with juice. Cheap brass sourced by Chinese manufacturers isn't very comforting.

I know people have reasons to be concerned with that, just saying for me I'm not concerned. Same as with silica and oxidizing SS, I'm just not worried about it but I understand others have reasons they are.

personally, im worried enough to read up on it but not worried enough to do anything about it. im weird. but i did find someone to comment on the possibility of lead in the brass and they said theyd be surprised if china wasnt using lead-free brass. mentioned something about RoHS compliant or whatever. its wasnt a supplier or manufacturer or anyone, just an ECF member. still, it makes sense that if lead-free brass were available, theyd use it. but who knows really.

but this isnt why i came into this thread. i came in to post the deal on the mini smok rda. Sun-Vapers has one for $6.50. i think just the drip tip is stainless.

Not sure about the SmokTech Mini RDA, but it looks just like this: Cheapie Dripper (RDA) - Sun-Vapers.com
The link is also cheaper! From what I've read in facebook, it is an ERA clone and it is stainless steel. I ordered 3 of them earlier today, the sun-vapers ones.

Yep, looks the same. They also have a black one that is probably the other version called "Cutie Small RDA" and they say it's made by Dboxtech.

So let's see.. for names we got Mini RDA, Phoenix v4, Cutie Small RDA, and Cheapie Dripper. For claimed manufactorer we got Smoktech, Tobecco, and Dboxtech. And at LEAST 2 versions, probably more. Soooo, who's gonna buy them all and sort this out? :p
