RDA First Buy

Congrats on taking the next step. Got a few questions that need to be answered before we all can give out opinions.

What diameter RDA are you looking for?

Are you looking for MTL or DL?

Single coil or dual coil?

Are you going to be using prebuilt coils or building your own?

I’m assuming that you will be running this RDA on a regulated device, correct?

Answer those questions and we will have an idea on where to start. Other peeps may chime in and ask other questions also. Also clone RDA’s would probably be your best option because they are inexpensive and you can find them just about anywhere.

My favorite "tester" is a simple 22mm Tsunami. I use it in single coil mode so it's a snap to change out the wicking. There is enough space in single coil mode to get up around .4~.5Ω even using 2x28+36 parallel SS spaced which will do your TC and IMHO gives a good representation of flavor. You can still find them and they are inexpensive. Little lost if you don't take to it. You can even get squonk pins for them if you like.

 

You might like a pulse. It’s got a single coil for easy wick changing and TC,a squonk pin if you find you like rdas, the screws are philips and placed on the side which may allow a better angle of attack, and it’s got a really really shallow juice well which while normally a drawback in your case might be an advantage. Also the genuine one is really cheap.

 

the dark horse is quite old and one of the first dual coil side airflow rtas that really worked. They have the advantage of being made out of thin steel tube so the clones are as good as the original. I wouldn’t call it the easiest RDA to put a coil on but it’s not brutally hard either. It’s very much a dual coil RDA though.

 

The duals often do single poorly and the singles don’t do dual at all. The big ones can be nearly as powerful as a dual though because you can put really large coils in them.

Dead rabbit is easy to build. Dual or single coil. You can pick up a clone cheap. I like the Apocalypse the best. You can get a clone cheap in those too.

Well if you’re having trouble making up your mind the bright side is it’s hard to screw up a clone RDA so you could just buy a cheap one and if you don’t like it or you break it just get another. A lot of the clones are under 8 bucks

 

For dualcoil the Rabies RDA is quite nice and due to the postdesign very easy to build on.

 

You want to find a RDA that will do both. I don’t look for both since I’m running a mod and coils that I vape at all the time about 350W-400W so I don’t do singles. The ones that do both have an air flow that has a single AF for single builds and then dual AF for dual builds. You would be happy with the ability to go both.

For DIY testing you don't need a wick. Saturate the coil and you get a couple of hits. And no carryover for the next test, no wick change.

 

You're in a class of your own brother. Insane comes to mind. LMAO!

 

Yes it's optional. Alot of RDAs come with a bf pin (squonk pin) you can replace the 510 pin with.

 

You would be surprised at how many people vape at high wattages. There are people out there that vape into the 1000+ W range. That’s insane. I don’t always vape at those wattages, most of the time I’m vaping around 175W-250W range.
