Thoughts on this RDA?

[corsairhawkvap3]

Hey guys i just wanted to get some peoples opinions on this rda double cross v1.5 by cmii.

It seems like a semi solid rba.. Looks like adjustable air control from a spinning ring over the air hole. Flat openings in the post for easy ribbon wire fastening. Is there an airhole on each side? Also other people might be able to chime in on this one but it does seem as if the center post insulator might be too high up the post. If the coil is installed high enough to avoid burning this insulator it might be too high to be aligned with the airhole.
But I do not have this in my hand, so I cant say for sure. Just my thoughts from my experience with rba and the image provided.

It's a fairly new atty. You can watch this, if you haven't yet.

Thanks for the input, yea there's two air holes on both sides so dual coil would be perfect for this. Yea i was worried about that insulator also but from the video duraine posted the guy who's reviewing states that they did a torch test on the insulator for 2 min and it didn't melt or degrade apparently.

I've been wanting to buy a semi-high end dripper but not over the top. hmmm I'll keep waiting till i get a few more responses then i'll decide if i should buy this. Also if anyone else has better option to a rda that doesnt cost more than $70 please feel free add your opinion xD

same price as a nimbus (here in the.lone star state) but made for ribbon wire... sounds good to me
not to mention the vapor output with fully open air flow was awesome

Hmmm i wouldn't mind getting the nimbus buuuuut i don't have a drill to drill out the air holes..... Yea i think i'ma get the double cross.

I dunno, being from a phili group and having those massive slots I would be leary of the actual flavor production. it looks like its designed strictly for subohm clouds which arent exactly flavor rich this is exemplified by how long he talks about the insulator's heat resistance.. massive nic hits though.

Looks like a nice atty. Not really a big fan of the AFC, I'm thinking it would have been better off if the slit was more vertical in my opinion.

 

[jepp]

this rda would be good with ribbon, micro and nano coils. the rda you get should depend on what coils you pefer on building.

 

[natedawgdaboss]

I want one now! I could just picture a .5ohm quad coil ribbon wire build in that thing...clouds big enough to register on doppler lol

What? Flavor isn't changed by vapor volume per se.

your right but it is changed by how much air is mixing with it, chamber size. cooling etc.

several atty I have with huge airholes and volume, like the trident i got, do not match up flavor wise to the smaller airhole drippers i have running single coils, everyone mileage will vary but i cant get the same flavor from any atty with too much airflow. and it makes me believe they are tuned more for maximum vapor not maximum flavor. even the ZAP was like this to me, it was a flavorless wind tunnel. and when I drilled my second cobra topcap to almost 2mm it lost its signature thick flavor.

The key there is "too much" airflow. You have to balance it with your coil's output.

Properly done, big volume doesn't lose flavor. It is a different style of vaping entirely though.

After a long session of wondering on if i should buy this rda, i've decided not to xD There's just not enough reviews of this rda out there for me to pull the trigger. Thanks for all the replies everyone! Now i'm curious on what other rda would be good to look at. I've been eyeing the Atomic RDA. Any other suggestions anyone?

I was eyeballing this also, but to me it looks a lot like the chinex v5 from hoosiervapes but with upgraded poles. I have a v5 & it's a good dripper for the price. BTW, I run .8 ribbon Kanthal on my Nimbus with no problems.
