So yep,stick a fork in me cause I'm done.
Funny story...not really funny like haha more like funny that i want to stick bamboo needles under my nails and listen to Fran Drescher sing ''My heart will go on'' on repeat for 2 days straight.
Pops wanted to stay with her cousin,so yay me...dropped him off for an over nighter and i had a full afternoon and night for myself.
Could have stayed home but nope,decided to drive 120 km (600 km there and 60km) to a big vape store in Alicante.
Get there,buy 3 different coils and then sat in a terrace with a nice frosty Horchata (cold Spanish drink,it is made with soaked, ground, and sweetened tiger nuts)
Tried all 3 coils,settled on one that was ok....i guess,nothing special,could feel my temper just rise a tad from not being able to get a pleasurably vape but ok,it happens.
Way back and just by the entrance of the town i live in wam bam thank you maam i feel the car drifting right, yep you guessed it,i got a flat.
Luckily the mechanic shop was like 500 meters away so drove in and asked the guy to fix the tire for me.
Meanwhile i am looking at my mod and Kumo and i get this brilliant idea,ask the guy if he has some sort of press there,one of the hydraulic ones.
He points to the corner and i tell him i need a favor,screw off the Kumo and tell him to put it in the press.
Gotta tell you,watching that sucker get wrecked was one of the most satisfying things ever!!
1st place would winning the lotto and getting my pops a new kidney with the lotto winnings,2nd getting the camper van of my dreams and 3rd watching that RDTA getting smushed with the sheer pressure of hydraulic press.
Sooo yeah no more RDTA,RDA or RTA for me,i am giving up,i don't give a rat's behind if i get better taste and it's cheaper...my mental sanity is worth much much more.
Was going to post this yesterday but in the state i was in at that moment that would have been a mistake
Would have probably got a warning,suspension or even a ban from ECF....i was really fuming.
Wish i could say this has been an enjoyable voyage...but this has sucked monkey pole!!
Time lost...money down the drain,i dreaded having to wick,clean tanks and put coils in,this is just not something i enjoy!!
Heck if i were an MTL user i would probably be using disposables,that is how committed i am to go on the path of least resistance.
And it's not because i am lazy,guys know me and read my reviews,i put in the work but this the whole RTA/RDTA/RDA/SQUONK think i just don't enjoy it.
Still got a Freemax coil left (shame i can't find them in Spain) and 2 new SMOK RPM 5 device which by the way i really enjoyed the coils and i can find them in Spain.
Will use those and maybe at a later day i will look into a nice sub ohm tank but yeah RBA's are off my list completely...time sink,money pit...anxiety boosting that at this juncture of my life i don't really need.
So anyway sorry for the long rant,do appreciate all the replies you have given me thru the years trying to help me find a nice RTA for me,much appreciated.
P.S: Just noticed that the tone of my post might incur the thought or idea that I'm leaving ECF,lol no you folks family.
I'm just switching to drop in coils and forgetting RBA's EVER EXISTED!!!!
