If they don't work much better, check out Fatdaddyvapes. I am not sure what size those are in the Freakshow Mini (I haven't even rebuilt mine in forever), but I am positive FDV would know what they are and could point you to a better option.

As important as screws are to the experience of RDAs, I am surprised we still have such cheap and inadequate screws going in many of our devices. Shame.

Check out the Pugio rda by Hyon! The way the posts are designed, I really think it could be a great and reliable way to trap leads. A friend of mine who I talk to on Snapchat (who's a member of the Hyon trick team lol) says that it's her favorite atty to date, surpassing her previous affair with the royal hunter! lol

Yeah, I've seen that. It is very cool. Thanks for posting it.

I am afraid to speak too much of my thoughts on Hyon as I really don't want the thread to go there, so I'd appreciate it if everyone else, too, tries to keep away from the juicy conversation involving them.

Couldn't agree more! I just would like to add that the actions of Fernando do not reflect the personal qualities of the rest of his team!! My friend is a nice lady!! :lol:

Agreed. Aside from that I wouldn't take this even in a trade. I'm not a fan of having to "paint my wicks", kinda defeats the purpose of a dripper in my opinion.

looks really cool, but besides the cool facto9r I don't really see any advantage over a 3 post with big wire holes, it seems over engineered

I have to agree with you on that! I don't even bother painting my wicks on the Freakshow Mini. Generally, 10 drops through the 510 hole in the topcap does the trick. I get leaks often... but I ALWAYS have a hanky right next to me. Ain't dripping if I don't got no hanky fam ;D

I basically agree. Basically. But like @HeiSINberg alluded to, I prefer my paint to go on canvas and I prefer to drip in drippers.

my top rda has been the rogue for quite a while, it vapes really great, maybe not the best for vapor or flavor but it's on the top 3 but the non leakiness has really spoiled me, never never leaks even if left on its side after oversquonking or overfilling for an hour.

I would love to find a small profile, 2 post one capable of single coils with the same leak free feature

I dislike most bottom airflow devices for this reason. The N22 does a great job of not leaking due to the postion of the air inlets. Its the best bottom airflow RDA IMO.

Evil Monk is nothing special, got it woth the Hobo 3.1 from my local shop earlier in a trade. Im not to big of a fan, flavor is decent but to me its gimmicky. I would never have bought it but I had the choice to get a sub $50 RDA with my Hobo 3.1 so grabbed it.

Stay tuned for my comparision HOPEFULLY with pictures of the Stumpy and 3.1. Sold my Vector last night for $50 which is $3 MORE then I paid. With my Petri coming within the next few days and my recent aqusition of the 3.1 I felt it logical to sell the Vector. The Stumpy has caused me to bring out some of my older tube mods just for looks. Have not built the Hobo but its chilling on my Rig 2 and daaaamn is it nice.

Vapero, if you are willing to go NON top airflow I suggest an Element Mods Stumpy. Its basically what you want minus top airflow but it still does not leak cause the air inlets are higher up. Its really small, flavor is nuts and the vapor is really good to. Its become my favroite since I got it, its amazing. Another one, Hobo 3.1 which I have used and now purchased is a small two post attie as well. I think the Stumpy is better BUT I have not really got to know my Hobo all that well yet

I'm waiting for the hobo to arrive, it would be here in a couple of days, and I am considering the stumpy and will probably get it but not sure how much difference it will be compared to my derringer

So, a little off topic but, not too far: I can't stand the "L" hex driver. Pops outta my damn hand if I look at it wrong, drops to the floor so I have to get on my knees to find it and then do it again two minutes later when it pops outta my damn hand again.

I'd like to get a hex driver set with regular handles. There's several on Amazon. The one I'm looking at has: Includes 0.7, 0.9, 1.3 x 40mm, 1.5, 2.0 x 50mm, 2.5, 3.0 x 60mm.

Do y'all think those might cover most of the RDAs that have hex screws?

Gracias!
