RDA Round-Table Discussion and Lookout

[HeiSINberg]

The Griffin performs really well. Flavor is up there with most of my drippers. I know that's heresy in dripper circles to claim that a tank can match a dripper for flavor but IMO it does. I usually have bad luck with wicking RTAs but haven't had a problem with this one or the 30mm BFT. I'm also tempted by the VCMT but, hell, I'm tempted by most vaping gear that I lay eyes on if I'm being honest.

Ha! So true. The only difference is I've held and played with the vcmt and it's quality for sure and I love the looks, but that juice flow ring was like an after thought or something. I don't get how you can make a near perfect tank and just toss a super loose juice ring on there like screw it.....cause that's what it feels like. I like how the Griffin can be controlled without breaking it down, the vcmt on the other hand has to be broken down to move the juice flow ring.

I was looking at the pikos actually but the already built ones are out of stock right now. And I'd love a tmod, he does awesome work but aren't they really expensive?

Yes, they are expensive as hell. I believe in the $400-450 range.

Holy hell!! Nevermind, I was thinking 200$ most but 400??! Can't and won't do that.

It reminds me of the Kayfun V4 airflow control. It's not difficult to adjust just annoying as hell that you have to unscrew the ......ned 510 pin to do so. This juice flow ring is the same thing. I'm sure it's supposed to be "set it and forget it" but I feel that's a poor design choice. I see that SvoeMesto did the same crap again with the Kayfun Mini V3 but the fanboys don't seem to care. For $99 I shouldn't have to deal with a stupid and annoying AFC.

I'm sure I'll eventually buy a VCMT though I might wait for the inevitable V2.

For the PEKOs they pop up here n there on the site.

The T-Mod is reasonable but not inexpesive. He has alot of options available. Depending on what you pick expect a few hundred.

Peko with a vaporshark dna 40 behind it.

If you don't mind an 18500 mod, there is a Tmod mini in the classifieds right now for $145 which is a killer deal. They are *tiny* but still hit hard. Here's a pic of my old Tmod mini next to my full size Tmod:

Woooooow! [emoji7] [emoji7] That mini is gorgeous! I would definitely want that, but if there really that much I can't spend that much on it unfortunately. I wish he did a delrin one or a 3D printed version to drop the price. Checking classifieds...

I keep looking at that one in the Classifieds but, can't decide if I'm fond of the lizard skin. I'd love to get a full-size un-lizarded like yours.

He's doing a delrin dual DNA200 but, it's not inexpensive either: TMODCustoms DNA200 LIPO SQUONKER

That DNA200 is redonkulous. Even if I would've hit that gigantic Powerball I wouldn't buy it.

If it's still there when I get paid I think I'm gonna go for it. It says 18350 but comes with 18490 batteries, I'm lost.

And the prototype is comically large.

The DNA200 mods will probably be price similarly to the SX350J mods which were $550

It's 18490/18500. I used 18500 purple Efest flat tops with mine.

So if his used one is going for 145$ do you mind if I ask what the price is new for the micros? I emailed him but I'm just waiting for a response.

The 18500 mods were $250. He no longer makes them. The new seamless 18650 mods are very small but I think those are around 4 bills.

It is large but, as I posted, from a purely visual design I like the proportions and the button/screen cluster balancing the mass of the rest of the mod.

Wow! He did get back to me, that was fast, he said they make a small 18650 micro. He seems super nice and I want to respond but I can't spend 400$ on it. Ugh. I wish I was rich lol.

He IS super nice. I PM'ed him about the delrin one and he got right back to me on the price.

Has anyone tried the MGNT yet?: http://www.shadovapor.com/product/mgnt-atty-pre-order?age-verified=a99a54d536

I think we looked at it briefly and the wide spacing between posts was off-putting to some.

I actually have both versions and love them both. I didn't post my findings in here cause I thought no one was really interested. I've had the 1.5 for a about 2 weeks now.
