So, figured this would be the best thread for this.
Did anybody else hear about Hoberto closing up shop for good with Hobo Customs? His website is offline now also.

Beyond sad to hear that he is done with the vaping world in producing RDAs. The man was a genius and brought us a ton of amazing gear. Shame to see him go.
That is awful to hear. Like many others his RDAs have played a big part in my vaping journey, bringing many hours of enjoyment, for which I will always be grateful.

Sad news indeed. He was "one of the best".

Such as sad day for us vapers.... Hoberto was an amazing modder and overall great guy. Every time I spoke to him he couldn't stand all the idiots and drama. Such a loss.

If we are lucky he will re-charge his batteries and be back strong.

Really not sure how I feel about this. I mean I have tried some rdas I thought would be utter .... and they turned out to be quite good however considering the amount of time they have had to refine this it just seems tres bizarre.

From the look of the deck it seems the coils will go in vertically and we then will have to bend them down (ala doode RDA) to align with airflow. Also looking at the posts (dont quote me) it dosnt took as if Bottom Feeding is possible which would be a HUGE let down for me. Anyways my Verdicts still out until I at least get to build and Vape on one but first impressions are NO BUENO

Well, there goes what little interest I had for the LP. Plus I HATE rda's that have the screws on the bottom deck for the posts. Imo and from experience, there just a problem waiting to happen (leaking).

Not that I'm bashing it cause I really was hoping for something in the direction of maybe BF and a different deck cause I liked the looks. It's like every company now is riding the "clamp" train with the notion of screw it just throw some clamps on it and it'll sell. It's possible it's just me that feels that way though.

I don't know, I'm looking forward to it. I've got 3 Goon's now, 1 in 22 and 2 in 24, I think they're all great. Of course the build, juice, and wattage all play a roll in flavor and cloud production. The photo's I've seen with the LP cap looks like the flavor would be off the hook. Anyway, I guess time will tell. Hopefully, it will be capable of BF, that's how my 22 is set up now (courtesy Catfish Mods :)).

that looks hideous what the EFF is 528 thinking?? oh yeah lets combine the goon clamps and that crappy RDA design by squidoode or whatever his name is. looks like it will take a few minutes just to screw in coils. what is up with that? i feel like the design is "different" for different's sake. just like that stupid squid rda "couplings" or whatever. terrible design.

why woiuld you buy into a crappy design? ugh i hate that squid rda so much its so stupid.

Tell us how you really feel. lol we know very little about this deck yet. I know it looks damn good with the cap on it, & I can't imagine the flavor not being outstanding. The only thing I'm waiting to see is the convertibility aspect.

dont get me wrong the LP from the outside looks great! i just think an atty that designs for the sake of looking different instead of a real design reason is silly.

their original design was great bc it worked. this is just eh

i can already see a lot of ejuice just sitting on that center block.

Hey guys I'm with you my initial thoughts of the deck were like a big "you got to be ....ing kidding me" who knows though it could be the best thing ever or the next velocity lol (that being said I'm not crazy about the velocity either haha) maybe I'm a negative Nelly or maybe all of the cloak and dagger instagram hype just left a bad taste in my mouth.

Now ever since I saw the nopity RDA I a have been thinking someone needs to make a 24mm version of that (not because I like bigger rdas but by design that deck is a little cramped and extra room I think would really benefit the Vape) in comes the reload RDA. I love the gold plated deck and Kennedy airflow and the nopity deck on a 24mm. I'm not a huge fan of the large topcap but if they released a slam cap for that with a BF pin I'll be in heaven
