The Vortice RDA

Anyone seen this? I kinda dig it, plus it's a two-post, comes squonk ready, single- or dual-coil sleeves and chuff top. I wonder if this will finally be a real innovation of airflow design. Maybe????
I posted this like 20 pages back lol I don't think anyone noticed it. Definitely interesting though. I like the air hole design.

20 pages back? Wow. So you posted this last night? [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
Ok maybe a "couple" weeks ago? Lol the 20 was just a guestamation. I just saw praxis vapors sneak peek of the Spitfire Atomizer. I thought it was gonna be just a tank.....but they engraved atomizer on there so I'm not sure. Looks like some zenith and orchid competition.

Dude, sometimes this thread moves so fast that if I don't get notifications I look up and feel lost in my own neighborhood! Part of the problem is that with the old forum software you could set your number of posts to 40 (which is how I had mine), but this way just fills up pages too quickly.

Anywhay, I am definitely interested in that VS atty. Too bad I missed it when it was posted becasue I already bought an atty today and would've bought that one instead. Oh well.

Let me go checkout what Praxis is talking about. Curious....

I mean other than being smaller, The Vortice doesn't seem much different from the Aromamizer. And that's only $40.

Got to disagree with you there, bud (even though we're all just presuming to know what the Vortice will be like). The Aromamizer is super cheap (not "cheap" in price, but cheap), comes caked in machine oil all through those airflow channles (that is not easy to get out) and it has an uber-restrictive airflow that makes builds lower than 0.5-0.8Ω not vape too well (not enough air to cool it off). The deck is super wonky being that you have to have your coils really low (to get hit with air) and yet not have your wicks too close to the walls (which is super hard) so that you don't cut off the airflow even more than it already is. The screws are world-class f-ups and will clip and back out of any gauge and, for some strange reason, the Aromamizer makes creamy eliquids taste terrbile.

Oh, and the Aromamizer is a three-post deck. :laugh: I said all that to say, if I can buy three-post drippers masquerading as something other than an Igo-W, I can surely buy the Vortice and not feel for one second that I was wasting my money on an atty when I could have two Aromamizers. Hell, I'd sooner buy $40 worth of Dekang than buy another Aromamizer.

But, I have nothing against the Aromamizer or anyone that likes it, it's just was one of the top 5 dumbest purchases I ever made since I've been vaping. Damn youtube reviewers had me going and not one of them menoined any of tha

Note: this is not me uplifting the Vortice, just me venting about a waste of two good $20 bills that I lost a few months ago.

What attie did you buy today Mr Mann? Why do you always do that to me? TELL ME WHAT ATTIE:p

I bought that ol' school joint, The Immo+. Just trying to spread the love of bad purchases. :laugh: But it was cheap enough and I bought it on a whim, so no one to get ...... at but myself.

Lately when I get irked about an atty (re: purchases), it's not really ever about the atty itself (aside from the Aromamizer. LOL). There is something I am chasing, and I know the vape of what I am looking for becasue I've had it before, but it can't be simply achieved by revisiting the old set-up I had when I experienced it. It's like I need a modern version of it. I will find it, but it may not be in an RDA--I might give the Rose v2 a shot after I feel I've exhausted this path. Until then, I just like trying new RDAs with the hopes of finding one that knocks my socks off like the Veritas, the Origen or the Stumpy. Those are my "Big three" most memorable for whatever reasons.

Can you share where you have had this vape before. What it is your chasing?

I't so hard to describe, but I know that it's not the build but the atty that will make it happen. It may not be the same experience I am looking for so much as I am looking to feel as awesome as I did on those atties mentioned.

What burns me up though is that for all the atties that are having their prices SLASHED in as little as a couple months up to a year, the Veritas and The Origen v2 aren't budging. Same damn tags as they had a year ago! I guess I am looking for an atty like those that will retain its value becasue it truly is awesome, not just the latest craze that will be passe in weeks (so the Vortice has nothing to do with this chase. That's just eating beef jerky during the hunt.)

Yep, you know the vein I am in. ;)

I think that you really need to find the right RDA/driptip combo
There are DT that IMO do improve flavor
