As the title said......
rda Mini Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer (1.0mL)

Has anyone tried and like how it works? Easy to use ? Leaks ETC.....

I ordered one to try but That is my first dripper so I won't be able to give a review since I have no idea how it would compare to others.

PS.And what does rda stands for? R ? D drip, A Atomizer ?

R ebuildable D ripping A tomizer

you rebuild the wicks when they need replacing.
got a link?
if it is the mini octopus its ok. puts out a lot of vapor and flavor, as the airhole is in the bottom too much fluid will cause flooding but a few tries and you will get the idea.
keep the wicks good and wet but dont try to fill it up too much. you can tell when they get dry as the flavor gets yucky and the vapor lessens.

knowing exactly which one you have helps a lot in describing what it will or wont do though.

when it comes time to rebuild we can teach you that too, did you get extra wick and wire?

Link:

Looks like there are 2 silicone seals for the bottom. Air hole on the body middle ring. 2 brass Thumb screws for + and - terminals. Single heating wire resistance: 2.4ohm. Aluminum tube with stainless steel drip tip.

No I have not ordered the wick and wire. Still looking around for that but I wont need that for a couple of weeks.

I'll look up "mini octopus " info.

Thanks.

I got three of these from fasttech (the older version that are colored, with silver grooves) and they are GREAT for tasting juice at vape meets or when you are trying to dial in a DIY. They produce good flavor, decent vapor, and they hold just enough juice to get the real flavor and several good drags. Plus they are super-easy to clean, and they rebuild easily.

For the price, they are a great deal, IMO...

yea i got that one, everything i said holds true except for the airhole on the bottom part. works ok .kinda small for me but makes a nice backup when im busy cleaning my other ones..

i had to open the airhole just a tiny bit as it wasnt clean when i got it. nice little dripper for the price and not a bad first time experience.

Thinking of trying one of these. How small is small? Bout the same size as the octopus? Got a couple from Fasttech now and one is great, one is ok, and one is useless. None of this model though.

Most US vendors carries the Phoenix V4. Same thing. 1/2" diameter x 1" tall, add 3/4" for the drip tip. Really tight inside but once re-wicked/coiled properly, it's a sweet little fog machine. I ran mine at 0.8 ohm on the gripper with extension tube (Madvapes).
