Smok Caterpillar is (surprisingly) amazing!

[Chris Cox]

Anybody else out there using the smok caterpillar?

I just picked one up and I'm a bit floored with how good it is. I'm pretty new to RDAs, but I prefer it over all my current ones - tobh, magma, omega. It's super easy to build on, the airflow control is the best I've seen, and the flavor is great. I wasn't expecting amazing flavor because it's a little big and doesn't have a domed top, but the flavor rocks - I prefer it even over the magma. The o-rings are perfect and the top part pops onto the base nice and snug but still easy. It's not the prettiest thing, and the included drip tip is kinda meh, but neither of those bother me. The post holes are a little small, so I imagine using kanthal any bigger than 26 might be a little tough on dual coil, but I usually use 26 or 28, so I don't see that being a problem. Currently rocking a .5 ohm dual coil, 5 3/16" wraps of 28 guage with cotton wicks, and it's giving me delicious clouds.

For a $15 original (non clone) rda, I couldn't be happier

I kinda wish that they made the 5 holes into a slot like on the Stillair... would have been alot more air flow if they did....

More airflow? For what can I ask? with 5 holes per coil I can already deep lung hit as fast as I can and have ~0~ air drag.

Love mine...I have two.

PS to the OP...you can build with your tag ends wrapped around the top of the post under the screw instead of through the holes if you need to use bigger wire.

The Stillair has about 3X more airflow... great for lung hits... if you get a chance to try one ... do it

Don't need more airflow... It gives me more airflow than I can use already.

Why can't people just be happy for someone that found something they like?

Enjoy your new RDA!!!!

I def want to try a Stillair soon

But I am pretty happy with the airflow, even for lung hits when all 10 holes are open. It's not for massive cloud machine lung hits, but I have an omega for that It would probably be cool if the airholes were a little closer together, to concentrate the airflow over the coils a bit more, but I haven't noticed it lacking on flavor.

I only use 2 1/2 air hole to achieve great long hits.
