I'm really enjoying the Van & Del Design Soul S rda (22mm). They were made in Croatia and all materials are sourced from EU and US factories. Designed, made and finished by V&D Design. The Soul is dual AF and more open than the KRMA AF. The deck is very easy to build on and it can take single or dual builds. The BF pin comes installed by default (a blind pin is included in the spares).

I've been using it on the Armageddon, VAMP Rig and Luna since last Friday. No issues. For me it's shot up to #1 1/2 or #2 for flavor. It is totally in-your-face awesome. I'm running an AVS 26/30 316L 3ID clapton at 0.4Ω. Better pic...

I bought mine at The vape Factor. They have the Soul S marked down to $30 (a steal). Originally they were selling for $140-$160. Van & Del Design Van & Del Design - The Soul S RDA
I like the Soul a lot. In fact I grabbed a second one on Saturday for the stash.

FT has the Soul. $8.63 Soul S Styled RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - 304 stainless steel / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

And the Poet. $6.79 SXK Poet Styled RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - stainless steel / 22mm diameter / w/ BF pin at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

KingPin at VU has an excellent side-by-side-by-side review of V&D's Soul, Jazz and Poet. The Poet is their latest rda.
Looks really cool with 6 contacts and a coil intstalled. This is the first RDA I've seen like this, thanks for the recommendation and links.

no it's the built in rdta-box-mod.

no interest in rda. point is not the building, rather excaping the hassle of stock-coils adn DL tanks_ three down; leaks, spits, burns, etc

skyhook rdta box mod? i've seen all review. need a user's advice
If you are trying to get away from drop-in coils then you will be building. You will need to develop that skill.

Do you mean the SMOK Skyhook RDTA Kit? SMOK SkyHook RDTA Kit
The RDA on it requires you to be able to build and wick your own coils. From the looks of it that means building dual coils. It does not come pre-built.

1) It's a SMOK device. They do not have a good reputation in the vaping community. There used to be threads here that would pop up weekly with SMOK device problems. Many tell folks to avoid their gear.

2) If you buy it you will have to learn how to make decent builds for it or you will be very disappointed. With any atty like it the quality of the vape goes hand-in-hand with your building skills.

Good luck :)

    well obviously by away from this i mean into that. i was respodning to the rda suggestion... meant im not exactly enjoying myself, implying i still need a tank for the day_ not a dripper for a cafe and television.

    yea i know the rep. and they even look it.
    nothing like sleep to overcome shinyitis: forget it.
    good nite all

    Hmm, that juice looks interesting. Who do you get that from?
    It's like golden Oreos in vanilla pudding. I get mostly a strong vanilla bean top note with a non-eggy vanilla custard base and a slight hint of cake on the finish. I wouldn't call it complex but it's one of my favorites that I never seem to get tired of. I always keep a spare bottle of it on hand and have a build in constant rotation for it. If you like vanilla, it's a sure bet you'll like this juice.

    I get mine from Next Day Vapes but keep it on the low. Their price is significantly less than everywhere else and I'd hate to see them raise it. Funny thing is that almost everything else they have is way too much but Prohibition is a steal by comparison.

    Thanks Blitz. If I'm ever out and about and need to rebuild and lose one of the grub screws there are 4 more on the deck to choose from. Built-in spares. :lol: Plus they include 6 grub screws in the spares bag.

    This is KingPin at VU's photo of the three decks and some of the different builds he's used.

    Soul dual build is top left. Then the Jazz dual and the Poet on the bottom. The Poet has some really good reviews and everyone says it rocks the flavor. I have one on the way from FT.

    I put the Poet and the Soul S in my fasttech cart I'm building. Another RDA I saw was the Drop Solo, this looks like it might be nice too. $7.89 Drop Solo Styled RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - stainless steel / 22mm diameter / w/ BF pin at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

    Do y’all use that bees wax stuff i was recommended to buy for the Woodvil REOs mods? (For the Luna stabwood)

    ETA “Feed and Wax”
    If you want to protect only 'rennaisance wax' is about the best thing you can put on it but it's also a good idea to polish it up to a really high gloss as the shinier it is the less absorpant the surface is.... Hope this helps :)

    If I don’t watch myself, I’ll have more finish and wax than I do mods. If my 510s connect I’m lucky.

    The tunnels are awesome! I went with Himself when he had meetings there. It was frigid outside, but I could get from the hotel to Hampton Bay etc through the underground without freezing to death. Plenty of shopping and dining opportunities ;)

    Im at my moms house. We *might* get some snow flurries tonight (none to stick though). I’m just excited at the possibility of seeing snow fall again. Don’t get that at home.

    Has anyone tried the Gemm disposable tanks? I’ve PIEd all my dl/subohm tanks, and I’m sure those gents my girls married will be looking for tanks to “borrow” at Christmas.
    Nola the Freemax disposable tanks (I forget the name) are excellent and long lasting too. They're wide open direct lung though and you can vanish in a room pretty quickly too :)

    I like the Inokin GoMax better. But, for what they cost, get a box and try them. I bought GoMax, Gemm and Cleito Shot. The shots are a problem at 27mm diameter, don't fit onto everything.

    Van and Del are legendary..... I'm tempted. What's the draw like? I'm guessing fairly restricted direct lung?

    Good morning shinies :wub:

    My second Boxxer V2 is already in France so should get it by the end of the week..... Good ol' Albert. He really looks after his customers :) I can open my other Boxxer connected delivery (4 dnv unbreakable windows) too :)

    Have a great day all :D

    Cute! Stevie and fluffy will need a hammock!
    Good luck with Stevie. Perhaps she'll be more inclined to go in the cage now she'll miss her best friends. I can almost hear the pitter patter of little bunny feet now.... A trip to the vets will be needed in fairly short order me thinks. Once you have caught her that is :)

    It's looks are deceiving but the Soul is more open than the KRMA (which is pretty airy). I close it off about a 1/3 for a really good restricted DL. The Venna is very restricted in comparison to the Soul.

    It's very flavorful and right up there with my Creek's.

    ETA: The Soul is more airy than the 24mm Flave RDTA, if that helps.

    That's exciting @charlie1465. Can't wait to hear what you think of it. I went to so much trouble tinkering with plumbers tape, tissue etc to mitigate the leaking on the V1(clone) but it was always doomed to be a flawed design of a great idea.

    I’m hopeful she will go in there. They said to keep the same hay in it so it smells like a bunny.

    My boy Toby is being nice too just looking at the bunny.

    Fluffy seems happy and content.
