Bump with an update.
- RDA base was immaculate out of the box, but the top cap and AFC ring required substantial cleaning.
- Single and dual coil setups provide substantial flavour and throat hit.
-
Excellent nicotine delivery
- benefits from minimal wicking
- very hard to flood/spill, though the airflow chimneys can gurgle if you overdo it.
- not suitable (nor intended) for massive builds, but can support quads, so it's more flexible than it seems
- However, airflow positioning will be the main limiting factor in your builds since the airflow can't really be moved.
- warm mod syndrome - there is a lot of solid steel on this atty. It can get hot on aggressive builds, and a flush seating will see that carry to your mod.
Current build, a "slow-and-low" 26awg 11/10 (0.56ohm), 2mm ID micro built for long draws. AFC in single air per coil. Vapour production (currently 50/50 6mg fluid) is adequate but will disappoint cloud chasers. Flavour, however is excellent and on longer draws, one can get an amazing slow-developing throat hit that I can't get enough of. I've gotten good results from 24-28awg wire, in single- and dual-coil setups, built high, low, twisted, parallel, stuffed with cotton to nearly bare, everywhere between 0.3-1.05ohms; all varied in terms of satisfaction, but flavour was always forward. The throat hit and nic hits from this thing can be substantial and very "smoke like".
All in all, this has found a niche quite quickly in my little arsenal, and has been a nice, unexpected replacement for my newly retired Cyclone.
*should note I paid $78.40CDN after taxes, from a B&M - a very good price for an innovative atty. At its in-store original price of $110, my qualms with the device out-of-box would have been more troubling to me.
