That's exactly how it worked for me.Got my first rda to "test" flavors,and loved it.but hated having to constantly drip,so a sqounker was the easy answer to solve that problem.Although it didn't take me anywhere near 45 days,i think i had my first sqounker in hand about 7 days after trying an rda haha.

I was the Same way. And had rda's in the Vape Drawer from Years and Tears ago.

Loved the Hit and Ease of Build. Couldn't handle the Constant Dripping. Especially when on the Go or Driving.

A Mech Squonker was a Perfect Fit for me. Got the Hit I wanted from an RDA without dripping while using a Build that Didn't have to have extreme Amp draw (Single SS Coil @ .35 Ohms).

The DripBox 60w also gave me a Chance to Try Squonking without Breaking the Bank. I wasn't going to spend like $100+ just to see if Squonking was where I wanted to be.

I have a freakshow coming, at $6.99 I felt ok giving it a try. If anything costs more than that I research the heck out of it before jumping. I learned my lesson after completely overpaying for a starter kit at a b&m on the beginning of my vape journey.

I'm with you.

I have a Whole Drawer of Stuff that I Don't use. And about Half of it I paid Top Dollar for.

Sounds like you prefer Dual Coil Decks. You might like this...

It also allows you to do Single Coil builds if you want.

Got a tsunami in the mail myself!!!! Should be here in a week or so!!!!!

It is Very Easy deck to build on. Decent sized juice well. Good Flavor. And Air flow for Days. Looks Cool Also.

I think you will Like it. Especially if you lean more towards Clouds in an RDA.

I like the Psyclone Hadaly. I have 3 of them. Mine are authentics, but I believe there are a couple clones available.
Very easy to build on, and the flavor is outstanding.

+1 on Flavor. It is Top Notch.

I give a Slight Edge to the NarDa. But it is a Very Slight Edge.

I have this one. It came out to $11.94 after the "MAP" Code is applied.

My first one was a mech mod called the Terminator.It is a cheap plastic mod,but it worked good enough to keep me interested,and got me more interested in other bottom feed mods.I have probably 12 different ones now,but my current all day mod is the Hcigar vt inbox.I know you said your budget is tight right now,and that you want a vw for adjustabilty,i just seen that Vapor Beast has the Dripbox 160 on sale for $29.99,i have that one too,and they are nice mods,a bit big because they are dual battery,but a nice mod for a good price.

Is there a discount code perhaps? They appear to be $36 right now which isn't a bad price from what I remember as it has been on my list for a while waiting for me to pay down my credit cards.

My Theory is if there is One Person, just One Person, out there that has a Bigger FT Wish List than I do, then I Can't be the One with the Buying Obsession.

LOL

BTW - Here is My All Time Favorite Single Coil Flavor RDA.

$9.35 NarDA Styled RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - 316 stainless steel / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

Ya know... For the Wish List.

;)

I missed the boat on the Narda. I didn't get one when they first came out. I could have; but for whatever reason, I didn't. I'm not big on clones. I prefer authentics. But I won't pay 'flipper' prices for one. But from everything I've read, it's a great atty.

I have a Hadaly clone,and it has became my favorite rda.I was never really into single coils too much,but something about the Hadaly just hits all the right stuff for me.I think it may be that most of the single coil stuff i've tried didn't have the airflow that i like,which this one has the perfect airflow.

From what I understand, the Authentic NarDa was Hard to get. And Very Pricey if you could.

I got a Clone because Everyone raved about its Outstanding Flavor. But when I got it, I wasn't all that Impressed. It was OK. But Nothing to write home about. Definitely not better than my Stumpy RDA.

I actually put it aside for awhile. And went on a BF Converting crusade.

Then I read about someone say the Flavor was kinda Meh and a Member suggested building it a Tad Lower in Ohms, and Positioning the Coil Higher. So I tried it and it was like Night and Day. It was Amazing how the Coil Position and dropping from .6 to .35 Ohms could make such a Difference.

I think Most people prefer the Halady or the O-Atty over the NarDa. Because both of them probably handle Bigger/Multi wires better. And might have More Air Flow.

ty, trying not to order new gear for a few more months but might have to grab one to use with my spare quad flex rda and bf pin
I bought mine back shortly after they came out,i think i paid around $50 for it,so at less than $30 it is a great deal,i'm tempted to grab another myself,although i want a stainless one,and all they have in stock is the black or white.

if you want a reg squonker... the cheaper ones are the dripbox 2, which at a limit of 80w is fine enough for most, but i got the 160 because i love the longer battery life... they also do decent TC for SS, Ni, NC, and Ti...

i'm being bad... the beasts have even taken over my pro tank 4s in the rotation... now it's baby beast, big baby beast, and two differently setup transformer RDAs between my 60w dripbox(like the pico mech with a few safety chips) and the 160w... hubby is only using the pro tanks for work(thank gods since he dropped one again the other day on the hard cement garage floor) and mainly switched to the beasts as well... the flavour is just so good in them, almost as good as the RDA.

The Stumpy is another one of my favorites. I have two in my regular rotation.
