@HeiSINberg @jhhollier how are you guys liking that fury? I've been thinking about picking one up.
Eh. It's not bad I guess, I've had way worse though too lol. I'm not used to the whole 18mm thing just yet but I do like that size, I wish they chose a different style post setup. Since theres not much of a deck to work with it makes it hard to wick imo, I get why theres not much deck though since it squonks and drains very well since it's almost flat, but something like a 2 post like the origen little or a mini predator style deck would of opened it up a lot more for your wick. Not a huge problem but if your just getting it for dripping and not squonking I'd pass if I was you. You'd be dripping a LOT between hits. I would trade this thing in a heartbeat for a narda, I've only done two builds so far so I have to mess with it some more still but the flavor isn't really spectacular if you ask me.

Ahh, see I wanted it for the flavor. Someone on HEM said that this destroys the NarDA on flavor but I've come to realize the NarDA isn't as simple as people make it out to be. They think you can just throw any single coil in there and call it good; if it doesn't vape well for them then they instantly say "I don't get the hype". In reality, you have to have that coil positioned perfectly in order get the spectacular flavor it's known for. If vapor doesn't pour out both air holes when firing, you did it wrong.

Exactly, I think this fury might be the same way. I've only built it twice so I'm not faulting it, yet. If it doesn't work great with a higher ohm build and then a single coil then it's getting sold/traded. But imo and only my opinion here, from what I've seen there's no way this blows out the Narda, yes it's subjective but that was one of my favorite rda's personally, it just fit my vape style. So I'll give the fury some more loving before it goes anywhere.

This could be said for almost any atty thats ever been made!!! I have read for quite some time now the Stumpy is one of the best flavor atty's made. Had one, sold it in less than a week, and that was after several builds, (wire, coil diameter, wraps, single, dual, almost everything). I thought it was a total :censored: atty... Others loved it and still do.

I like it but it seems very dependent on coil placement. I had my coils too low initially and the flavor was not what I expected. I have since raised them quite a bit and the flavor is coming alive. It doesn't blow the NarDA away IMO but its performing pretty well now flavor-wise.

Hey SiN
Haven't talked to you in awhile what have you been vaping on lately. I've been on a bit of an RTA kick I found a good deal on a hurricane 1.3 and picked up a kayfun v5 and have been really enjoying them.

RDA wise I have been using my Narda clones my hobo 3.1,petri v2 and the goon. I have been looking for a new flavor Atty though. I have a NoPity clone coming to see if I like it enough to by the original. I am kind of upset I didn't pull the trigger on the predator when I had the chance but it felt like a big chunk of change at the time lol anyways what's the new hype or what is looking good right now peeps

Hey!

Yeah I'm not on here as much as I used to be, I try to split my time between here and Facebook, although the Facebook groups are winning lol. Right now I'm just mostly squonking, ever since I started I fell in love and I'm actually pretty content where I am now. I only use 4 rda's every day, the predator, fury, hobo 3.1, and the stumpy. I do miss my NarDA though, I just need a damn deck and I'll be good! Yeah the predator is a good one imo, unfortunately all of the hellfire stuff is expensive, there nice though very well made and from what I've seen they sell/trade easily. It's just the buying it that hurts lol. Since you brought up the no pity, there making a rda called no toy. Single coil 18mm rda, BF ready too. It's actually pretty nice. Check it out if you get a chance.

hello guys..
planning to get either a vaponaute le mirage or ohman pancake rda.... can i have insights/feedback on both atty..... or generally who's a better flavor atty.. thanks a whole lot..
No experience with Le Mirage but I have a Pancake. The flavor is good but I don't really care for it. One - it's a bit of a pain to build on. It's not super difficult just annoying. Two - because it's made out of titanium it gets unbelievably hot. Take more than a couple of draws in a row and the entire top cap is scorching. For those reasons it's going to get sold.

I'm the same as jhhollier, I liked the pancake at first but quickly changed my mind. It just wasn't for me, if the deck area was open a little more it would of been killer imo but I never really came to love it. No experience with the other rda you mentioned though.

I have the sjmy 1:1 clone version of the le mirage coming yes I know a clone but 1: sjmy make excellent clones and 2: I'm sick of buying expensive attys only to find I do not like them. So my new plan is if there is a decent 1:1 clone available I'll buy it and if I like it I'll buy the authentic (if I can find one) the Le Mirage is supposed to have amazing flavor but you can only build vertical coils in it but i will make a post about it when i reveive it.

Heisenberg just pointed out to me in a past post (thanks for the heads up by the way) the No Toy from NoName Mods is going To be my next authentic and looks freaking awesome

The No Pitty is very, very good. It's like a Magma/Snapdragon crossed with a Kennedy. Stellar flavor and nice restricted air flow. Only downside is dripping down the drip tip is a no go... will squirt right out the air holes.

The Le Mirage is honestly not that good. The Le Magister is better in every single way. Smaller, prettier, horizontal or vertical coils, identical wicking and MUCH smaller deck for MUCH better flavor. Only downside is you cant "clouds bro, clouds" in the Magister.

Honestly, if you're into flavor do yourself a solid and go pick up a Hobo Drifter. Hands down, best flavor of any dripper on the market. Honestly. Bests the Narda and Snappy... and that's saying a lot! It's very reasonably priced and the machining is some of the best in the industry as well. They are sometimes hard to find though.

Thanks for this info man, I'm on the fence atm and I can get one barely used for $100 but after reading this, I may just pass. Not to mention, I think that thing is hideous. I did like Le Zephyr quite a bit though, it just doesn't get used much anymore due to the Nextasis and In'ax MKIII. Still somewhat curious about Le Mirage though since I've kinda wanted something to do dual mesh builds.... Anyone else with a Le Mirage that can chime in?

I can agree somewhat here as well, the more I use the drifter, more amazing I think it is. I personally don't think it beats the NarDA or the Snapdragon, but man is it close. It's so close that I can only notice the difference when vaping the same juice in a side-by-side comparison. There are just some subtle nuances that the NarDA and Snapdragon pick up that the Drifter doesn't but overall, it's like 95% as good as the other two, just considerably more inexpensive and easier to find.

Seriously @Sed8op8 , the Drifter and Snapdragons are the way to go unless you want get into mesh....

I seen earlier when it came out the drifter didn't appear to get much love in this thread. I really like mine as well, it tastes fantastic with basic builds. I don't have a NarDA, but I do have the Drifter, the Snapdragon and the No Pity. They are all excellent, I think probably like the Snapdragon most for flavour by a fairly small margin. Of the three though as much as it is very lovely I doubt I'd buy another No Pity if I lost it, I'd pay more than double the current price to replace either of the other two without a hesitation.

On another note I recently ordered (and am still waiting on) one of these Verv RDA : Verv RDA based on the review Damian did on "A bloody good vaping". Airflow is interesting, looks pretty nice and the price isn't too bad (significantly less than any of those others for me). Not seen any mention of it (which is weird), anyone tried?
