RDA Round-Table Discussion and Lookout

[HeiSINberg]

I said it myself earlier - it's all subjective. Wasn't saying you were wrong or anything. Trust me, when I brought up the Stumpy being nothing special multiple people took me to task over it. It is what it is. I have one and use it but it's no better than what it copied - the Derringer. And let's be very honest, EM took the Derringer, dropped it to two posts and gave it a different look. Whoopie.

Actually I believe I was on your side about that one lol. I can't agree more. As much as I wanted the stumpy I only wanted it cause it was essentially a 2 post derringer. But for more money. So I held off and honestly I don't regret it really.....but as you said yes it is all subjective. But some things have to be said sometimes, which I'm sure you'll agree.

Mines in the vape mail. Any tips on bottom feeding it, pics?

Mine is just a Tobeco clone. And be it a clone, after having it and using it daily for a while now, I'm glad i got a quality clone, but really wish i had just gotten an authentic rose gold one.

I don't squonk, so no bottom feeding here. Hopefully I can stumble upon a nice deal on a Reo or similar in the future. I made a box a while back but it was horribly bulky and awkward to use in general so I scrapped it.

Anyone rocking an Aeronaut? If rda innovation is your thing, this one seems to have it in spades.

Oh, THAT is interesting. Some serious thinking outside of the box going on there. I'm a tourist, not an adventurer. I'll wait for reviews because I'm not sure I like the looks of placement options with that.

Very interesting design!
But, as a dripper, how would the lower air 'tube' not get flooded with juice? I would imagine enough juice would drip into the air slot to cause some leaking.

Looks to me like it begs to be catfished!

Man that looks nice. For $65 I may order one tomorrow.

I was wondering the same thing. As an engineer, I would think that the bottom tube would best serve if that hole faced DOWN maybe? I'm trying to picture optimum coil placement.

 

[jhhollier]

If the bottom tube faced down, it would kind of defeat the purpose of having a bottom tube, no? Meh, not feeling this one. If you build your coil perpendicular to the bottom tube, the wicks will almost certainly be against the hole in the tube and will leak like a sieve. If you build your coil parallel to the tube, the wick ends will rest on top of the tube and juice will inevitably find its way into the air hole. It probably wouldn't leak like a sieve that way but it would leak nonetheless.

 

[vapero]

It would had worked I'd the bottom time was lower on the middle and rises a bit on the edge and have a small drain on the bottom of the tube opposite to the big opening on the top, that would have been more leak proof

Whoa. Cool thread. It would be nice to get notifications. LOL

 

[Mr.Mann]

I want an AX1 so badly! Oh my goodness it looks super sweet.

I also just saw that the BCW NAMI is now being sold for $85 after just, what, a few months of being available?! Its price dropped by about $50. Wow! The game now is so crazy! The NAMI has gotten great reviews, so maybe someone here may be interested? Maybe not. Here's the link just in case. http://baycityvapor.com/collections/rda/products/nami-rda

Note: I had purchased the NAMI when it came out, but I took advantage of BCV's great return policy after deciding that it was not for me. At this price, I am kinda interested again...Kinda.

 

[jhhollier]

Have to admit that I'm intrigued by the Nami after watching Todd's review. His vaping style seems to be very similar to mine so I think I would dig it.

What better time to get in? The problem I had with it was that the coils sit in a bit of an awkward place. It's difficult for me to explain without having it here, but it was just odd. I have to say though, at $85 I think it's worth it---at least much more, now, than it was for~$133 shipped.

 

[WharfRat1976]

No offense taken trust me, I knew someone in here would lol. But the fact of the matter is flawless is a rip off and needs to step it up, they have what, 3 drippers all the same OLD tried and old design, come one give it up already. And yes there's plenty of stuff out there cheaper and BETTER then a tug with a slam cap. I'm tired of people acting like the tug slam cap combo is God's gift to the vaping community. It's overpriced mediocre and should be called like it is, sorry.

It's just a tried and true is all. I have all the new toppers BF and otherwise and at the end of the day my tug sits on top my Manhattan V2 with the tuglyfe Cap wrapped with 20g dualies. Thick clouds and flavor every time never misses. I have seen many cycles and oftentimes the old stuff is better than the new. Sounds like someone has a ----on for Flawless.

 

[WharfRat1976]

Overpriced? Probably. The mediocre part is subjective. I don't see what the Stumpy does that's so great yet it gets constantly chugged on this forum. Two post drippers are hardly new or innovative. And that thing costs the same as the Tugboat V2.

Stumpy vape is much "smaller" than the Tug as well. Build deck is tiny. It's a good vape but Tug higher on my list. Let's compare it to the Derringer or the Thump or the Hastur or that micro BS or any of them. How bout the Aeolus or the Norbert or any CLT...I could go on. Odin....I guess it boils down to preference. There is no right or wrong. Every atty is overpriced shlock. Fifty cents of stainless machined and marked up 100% plus plus. The Magma.

Nice, you gotta review this ASAP. I have some money burning a hole in my pocket so I'm looking for another RDA. As much as I love my origen v3 I've been looking into this. The only thing I don't care for is that huge wide bore drip tip; is there an adapter that allows you to use your own?

This is my first time with a Norbert product and I must say quality is outstanding on this one... It takes a standard 510 drip tip. I think due to the size of the atty the white delrin tip just looks massive on it. No adapter is necessary for it. The atty also comes with another center pin for those that don't use a bottom feeder. Looks easy to change them out. It did come with the BF pin installed though. As to the vape, so far it is very good. The closest atty I have to compare the air flow would be the 454 V2. The larger holes on the Origen is very similar to the 454 V2 wide open. Very airy for such a small atty. As to the flavor, I would say it is much better and more refined than the 454 V2. I have a couple Nuppin's by Pdib that the vape is very similar to. Almost dead even on airflow but flavor goes to the Origen by a small margin. I set up both of mine with 26g Ni80 2.5mm 6/7 wrap .4Ω duals and the vape is very good. As you can see in the pics above they are just some pretty standard coils in them.

Awesome man, I think you just sold me on it. Norbert products are always extremely well made and flavor on the origens are pretty much the best out there (or at least tried for first with a few others)

So to replace that drip tip, you just remove it and put your own it? No adapter required?
