Where is this mall? I don't have first hand information on them but I've heard the names. Could you open the boxes and show what's inside?
I think they're mostly older stuff I'm not sure if I've ever heard of the lush one but I've definitely heard of the nudge. For $5 it would be hard to find an RTA or rda that wouldn't be worth five bucks if you don't have to pay for shipping you know. Worse comes to worse You can give it to someone who's trying to start rebuilding or something who knows
The 2 RDA's are both Respectable Dual Coil RDA's. Built more for Cloud Production. But with OK Flavor. The Nudge comes with a Squonk Pin. So Don't accidently toss it out because you Don't have a Squonk Mod right now. You may down the road if you like RDA's.
I know absolutely Zip about the RTA.
At 5 Bucks a Piece, I would put that in the "Got a Good to Great Deal" category. Even if you Don't like one or even Two of them.
Park City Mall, blue monkey vapes. It's not even a shop, it's more of a stall, but they have actual stores around too. He said they have more locations. I kinda doubt all the stores are selling old gear for 5$ like that tho. I had noticed that all the boxes seemed like they were open, maybe they were even returns. They look like theyd been handled, which I really don't care cause everything was still inside, even I opened them and took a peek before I bought them.
I'm not really the type to mess with this type of stuff... At most I'd mess with the RTA and The squonk thing seems cool. I just vape while I drive, and to think of dripping in juice after every two hits or pulling this thing apart and fiddling with the coils and the cotton... Yeeeaauhhh. I might use the RTA at some point. I think I'm gonna have to jug the coil and cotton from one of the others tho, cause it didn't come with it. It just feels like too much for me to mess with. I appreciate the style, for all the time and effort that goes in. Its just not for me. The guy also told me RDAs are good for dabbing wax. I don't smoke tho.
The Nudge RDA is a great performer. When built right it produces some really, really good flavor that is right on par with the best modern atties. It's in fact so good, that it's still in my rotation.
But it has its drawbacks.
First of all it can be a ....h to build. As a starter don't even try round wire coils, because the leads won't trap properly under those screws. 26x2/38 or 28x4/38 Fused Claptons work fine though. Therefore it's not an atty I'd recommend to a beginner, although it's still manageable with a bit of patience.
Secondly, because of it's low profile it has a limited juice well, so you need to be a bit careful when dripping/squonking. The well is not tiny by any means, but compared to some taller RDAs the difference is nevertheless noticeable.
For me personally in conclusion the benefits outweigh the drawbacks by far though.

That's really good news. If I ever come across a pretty cheap squonk mod someday I'll definitely give it a shot.
You did good Mediocre00Rebel. Those look like some very capable units. I like the LushPlus with the bottom air feed that comes out below the coils.
One word of caution: Don't Drip and Drive.

RTA's are finicky when It comes to getting the wicking just right. But not impossible.
I don't know much about wax dabs but I do know RDAs and I can't imagine with what I do know about wax using a dual coil RDA... That's like main lining vancomycin when you're prescribed oral penicillin lol
