Dual coil deck, smallish chamber for flavor. Might be worth checking out for $15.


I know, right? I mean, damn! I remember when an expensive drip tip was $10. Now $30 is commonplace! This may just be one of those good items that fell through the cracks.

Dang, I have 30 tanks now, and one on the way, but I'm tempted to order this :facepalm: I've bought a few budget RTAs lately, and some have been quite the pleasant surprise.

As in, tell me more. Captive audience. I got a tub of popcorn, I ain't going anywhere. ;)

What else has been good?

Lol, I thought you were saying, oh, sure, she's gonna order one any second :D

The Lemo, of course

HCigar HC Plus. Very well machined and a flavor powerhouse. I had to order from China though (Health Cabin) because no one carried it in the US that I could find. This one is a gem though. One of my favs now. With shipping was $35.

EHPro Mini Buddha. Build quality could be a bit better, but its decent for a $25 atty. Also great flavor.

UD Aga t5. Same deck as the Ataman II, and pretty much the same vape. Machining is excellent, but its kind of an ugly atty. But, less than $10 at Triangle Vape. Great flavor, under $10, what the heck :)

UD Aga t7. The only atty that really challenged me with how to build, lol! But, I appreciated that about it :). Dual coil, great flavor. Can also get for under $10 at Triangle Vape.

Focusecig Focloud. This thing is a flavor powerhouse, but unfortunately the machining is pretty poor. On mine the base won't screw all the way into the tank and can very slowly leak. I wrote to Focusecig and they are sending me a new one. Its ugly, too (looks like a salt shaker), but wow, what flavor. I'm hoping my new one will have better machining.

I should add the Cthulhu. I haven't cared for some of my dual coil cloud chuckers (Billow v1 and Silverplay in particular). But the Cthulhu isn't hotter than hell like those two were. In fact its rather cool on a mech. The deck is a dream to coil. Top and bottom fill. Mine has very good machining, but some have had issues. My only complaint is the afc ring is extremely tight even though I keep lubing it.

For $15?!?!?!? Wow! Might have to give it a try. It does look exactly like the orchid deck but with raised airholes.

Looking at the HCigar HC Plus right now... Can't seem to find a photo of the deck. Is it Kayfun style?

They have 2 original RTAs. One is a kayfun deck. The HC Plus is different, which is why I chose it.

And that was worth more than the price of the popcorn! Great post.
