Did you open the two side airflows (two small grub screws) all the way, and set it so both the largest top cap holes are being used? I get a nice restricted DL when I do that.

What two small grub screws? I don't see any screws at all..

This is the rda, and not the RDTA. Are you thinking of the RDTA?

After taking the cap off and inspecting for screws, I think I've set the cap on better so I'm getting a little more air than I was before though, so perhaps I had something covered on the bottom..

Thanks for making me take the cap off even though I found no screws..

but I still think a little more air to call it restricted, it's down to being as airy as the Z-Biip fully open, or the KRMA open just a little, or the siren with 3-1/2 airflow holes open (maybe 4).

So it's on the cusp I'd say..

And @AngeNZ - Ive only ever tried the three since I'm so slow.. lol.. The Recurve, the Nixon, and this KRMA..

I had the recurve on for a very short amount of time because I was liking the look of the Nixon better, the recurve just seemed so big and bulky on the little Luna that I liked the lower profile of the Nixon better, but this KRMA I like best because it's got the lower profile, yet the flavor atty shape, if that makes sense..

I’ve been thinking about getting a dna mod just to have one in my collection, is it an easy chip to use? It took me a while to get into my SX Mini SL.

The DNA is much easier than yihi, imho. The yihi I had had a joystick that drove me bananas. Do they all have that? It was hard enough to figure out the menu, without that joystick not cooperating. It was a nice vape when I accidentally got it set where I wanted it, but I prefer buttons.

As with any menu, I YouTube for pointers.

Its a no for me.
The topfill is cool but flawed unless you use a narrow bottle. Unlike the topside its closer to the rda. A 60ml will work but the chubby 100ml you will have to take the rda off to fill.
The bottle doesnt come out easy without removing screws. Also saw an early comment that it comes with an extra silicon bottle that no one could figure out how to change. That may have been addressed but i have not followed up.

My topside does the job fine.

Also can change the plate and turn it into a standard mod, cool i guess but not necessary imho.

I didn’t even look at it, tbh, I was just surprised I hadn’t heard it here first, like I usually do.

I said no right out of the gate because I am doing fine with the squonkers I have, and I don’t see any benefit to having one that can fall in the pool. My first thought was, there goes all the juice! Probably wouldn’t have gotten contaminated, but I’d still get rid of it. Yuck.

My error, I was thinking rdta [emoji3]

I hate the joystick too! Luckily only my actual Yihi mod has it and my ViT doesn’t.

The Galaxies RDA also has airflow control screws ... there should be two screws on each post: the lateral screw clamps the wires, the central screw can be screwed in to close off, or screwed out to open up the airflow tunnel.

The upcoming Steam Crave Hadron 220 mod with optional quick connect Squonk backpack has buttons instead of the joystick.

If anyone is interested. I just posted a review on the new Rincoe Tix Pod
Rincoe Tix Pod System, A Stylish New Option

As always, feedback is appreciated. And yes, I need a better camera to do this. I could take back my real camera from my daughter, but then I'd have to buy her a new one, so as it's time to upgrade anyway, hopefully a new phone will provide a better photography experience.

Topside carbon has no joystick and is a yihi.;)

Well I've got a FT package make it to the airport terminal in China. It's got a Flave, some 510 fill bottles so I don't have to yell at my Luna's come refill time, those teeny tiny brushes as a just because, and something else. I'd check the invoice email but it would ruin the surprise.

Next up, thanks to the "public health emergency and crisis" here in NY, I really need to review my flavor inventory and see what I need.

It’s probably easier to use right off the bat than the yihi. I just like that not much twiddling in the escribe software needs to be done since a lot of the functions are on the mod itself. But as I said I’ve got both and I think they’re both fantastic boards. Can’t lose either with either one.

Good afternoon everyone! Beautiful day in Boston this afternoon. My dog Levi had had a couple of fantastic days and I’ve sold a few of my “overstock”
stash.

Sitting in the yard enjoying the rn in the sunshine while I can. It’ll probably snow tomorrow lol!

How’s everyone’s shiny dreams are coming true today!!!

Still haven’t seen anything that’s biting me in the .... to buy which is good since I just spent close to $5k on Levi’s hospitalization and he needs more work ups next week.

But..... lol!

It’s funny that so many didn’t like the joystick. Once I got the hang of it I find it easy to move around the menu without pushing 3 different buttons.
