I thought I would share my experiences with the Silverplay rta (good and bad)
First I want to say that this can be tricky to work with. I don't recommend it as your first rta.
The reason I posted this is because vapordna is having a 40% off all sale items. That means you can get one for around $10. (use code EXTRA40):

I have two of these... one for MTL and one for RDL. I have learned so much and really enjoying both of them. When you first get it, be careful with the chamber (barrel) that has the juice slots. It's very hard to get off (when you go to put it back on, put a little juice on the inside (bottom) to help it slide over the o-ring) To remove it, leave the top part on! It threads on/off and if you distort the chamber at all it won't screw back on. Twist clockwise and pull (rubber gloves help) Once it's off, you can unscrew the top. Also, the screws that mount the coil have "rounded" underside (don't ask me why they did that) You can only use simple round wire or simple single core claptons. Any fancy wire/coils will be hard to mount. You have to bend the wires around the screws as you tighten (try to do this clockwise) Now for the good news... it has three airflow inserts (small holes for MTL, large holes and slots for RDL, or you can leave it open with no insert for max DL airflow... I would do that myself) It has bottom airflow slot too (decent amount of airflow wide open) Depending on the ID of the coil, you adjust the juiceflow slots to match (2.5mm close half way, 3mm close 1/3, larger maybe wide open) I use the vertical slot method... haven't tried the "V" slot (don't think it will work as well) You have to wick it, raise the "tails" as you put the chamber on (pre-set the slot before) Push the chamber down so slots line up with the wick tails (it's OK iof you mount the coils at a slight angle, just line up the slots to match) Put wick ends into slots, screw top on (loosely), then trim wick tails (about 2mm... they may "sag" once you wet them with juice) They are going to touch inside of tank... can't be avoided. I like to use rayon because of this. Now unscrew top and prime coil/wick (make sure the wick tails don't pull back in!) Screw top back on (fairly firm) Screw on tank, fill (not all the way) and screw on top cap. Wait a few minutes and enjoy (very good flavor in my opinion) Right before putting it on your mod, adjust airflow (hard to do after without causing the tank to unscrew)
OK, I have probably scared you out of trying this RTA, but hopefull using my tips, you will enjoy it as much as I have. Take a chance... spend $10. When you go to re-wick, make sure to rinse out the airflow insert well and blow air to help it dry. Good luck.
