RDA Round-Table Discussion and Lookout

[Sed8op8]

While I can't join in on the NoPity for obvious price reasons, I can report that my Narda Subohm competition rda came in from fasttech. Will clean them up and throw in some builds later tonight once my daughter goes to bed. Both feel like good quality with good tolerances so far.

Would love to see that Narda clone ! I got one for ....s and giggles but its still stuck in Chinese customs

@HeiSINberg
Thanks for following up 8) I was scared for a second there thinking wtf did I buy this for lol I take 2 pulls and its hot enough to melt my lips off I mean the delerin was uncomfortably hot lol.... Now I know my cute lil hobo just likes slightly higher resistances that's all he he not to mention I think spacing my Clapton's helped !!! For some reason I am really digging spaced builds lately 8)

Drifters up finally got one 8)

Missed it again.

 

[dmska]

Drifter may still be in stock.

 

[Mr.Mann]

So are the Drifters still just going up at random or is there any notice? I need to get that atty, but there is no way in hell I can sit around just waiting.

 

[Mr.Mann]

Drifter may still be in stock.

Not working once I put it in the cart. It allows me to, but won't allow me to check out.

Finally got my Nip rockin' nicely today.

But, because the top cap is so reduced, it is really easy to short out the coils if you're not careful. This is not an atty to try and get your coils too close to the airflow. Hate that! And, since verticals work the best in this atty (IMO), you have to have your cotton just barely over the tops of your coils or else you will obstruct your airflow too much (to the tip) and you'll be sucking up wick juice.

The flavor that I am getting now is pretty good, like damn good. But, there are still aspects of this design that I just do not jibe with, at all! It doesn't look like this will be leaving me anytime soon. Damn! I was looking forward to getting my money back. LOL

I like it.
I wonder if it would be noticed if a few hundred users had the same parakeet?
(sorry if it's not a parakeet)

I wanna give a little update on the Goon, more so regarding the flavor. I'll take back what I said about the flavor being subpar. It's actually excellent and I'm rather impressed. It wasn't the RDA that was producing a lack of flavor but the juices I was using. They were well reviewed budget juices which I let breathe for some time when I got them becasue they smelled funky and I attribute that to the lack of flavor, I have a few more bottles from the same company that I tested in known good flavor RDAS with the same result (Kennedy 24, Tugboat 24 and the Subzero Comp 24). I decided to give it another crack with some better juice and the flavor is everything it should be and more, on top of that I'm also getting excellent cloud production but that didn't change from before. If you're looking for an RDA with excellent flavor, a unique build deck and good cloud production I can now recommend the goon.

I know this is an RDA thread but this Boreas is ....ing amazing

Oooh good I have a couple questions about the goon ? I have heard its hard to fit 3mm or higher coils in it because of the unique deck and also that the well is very small?!

I am super glad to hear that your getting good flavor and vapor production ! What builds have you tried and is that clamping deck easy to build on?

God I ask so many questions lol I only saw a first look video on it And it was unsattisfyinly brief 8(

Fight for the bird...!

I have some 3mm coils in their now, they're either standard aliens or alien framed staple I can't recall. I just have a bunch of containers with pairs of coils that I've built in them that I pull out and throw in RDA's. The build space is a tad tight but unless you're trying to run some insane build you should have no issues. The juice well is decently sized, usually fill it up with juice on each side, haven't had any issues. I'll post a pic below and some other reviews, excuse the potato quality and the juice everywhere. This so far is the only build I've run in here, as far as easy of building this is hands down the easiest RDA I've ever built on and that includes the velocity and just about any other two post out there.

Yeah, I am REALLY vaping my words over here about the Nipple. I can't even express my pleasure right now! We'll see how long it lasts. But, right now, I can't say I've ever had BETTER flavor. I won't say it's the best flavor ever, but know I've never had better (and just simple azz coils too!).

I wanted so badly to believe this was all hype and just for looks. It really is much more than that. I still think the price is outlandish, but so is the flavor!

It might be better for many of our pocket books if you said it was "just ok"

I do NOT want to make it seem like it is ever warranted to pay this much money for an atty. I also never want to make it seem like I am vouching for the belief that expensive RDAs are better. They're not, not necessarily. But, damn this joker is vaping lovely!!!!!!!!!

One NoPity is enough for me (unless it's for a Thump and a Kennedy.)

 

[sig-cmt]

...unless it's for a Thump and a Kennedy...

But what about a Kennedy 24 with a slam cap and Fat Dragon widebore?

Now matter how many new attys I get, however great they may be, the Kennedy 24 is something that will always stay in my rotation.
