Anyone looking at the new Vape Droid. I think ill be getting one of these the reviews are excellent.

I've seen Todd's review of this. I was impressed with the fact that this first came out with a different board which did not work right. He recalled all those units and replaced them with the DNA75. Very good customer service indeed!! I also like the 18650 sled instead of the tube. Nice mod for sure!

Got some FT stuff in as well and the Tube Atomizer is a real gem of a RTA. I like it!
$11.03 Tube Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 3.5ml / stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
I had an order of three Tron-S tanks that FT has had problems getting. Their supplier kept pushing the date back. In the back of my mind I had been keeping my eyes open for a plan B exchange. I saw this mini review and checked it out. The reviews at FT are very positive, and there's a link there for a discussion on all the different tank sections that fit it. I pulled the trigger and had them send four of the Tube Atomizers in SS instead of the Tron-S tanks. Supposed to ship in a couple of days.

Thanks for sharing the info. I'm looking forward to trying the Tube.

@Katdarling - The reason no photos were posted was because it wasn't even usable. Not to mention as soon as I popped the "coil" in the RDA - it basically fell apart. The wraps wouldn't hold, the 36AWG nichrome "coil" essentially unwound itself. I could have just taken a piece of 36AWG wire and ran an X-length strand from one post to another and got the same results. I did hit it with the Fluke (177 TRMS Multimeter) and when it got the reading, it bounced between 14 - 15 Ohms (AFTER I made the continuous loop). Ill measure out another 30 Ohm strand and try it again. It was ridiculous to the point of not being able to measure it ON device - it decided "Nope, no device you have is going to measure me, even your trusty Fluke-o-meter will fail you you filthy human being!" I then proceeded to break it down. And maybe when I get some wire that's not so darn springy (32 - 30AWG) - I'll wrap a super-sized coil (maybe on a 1/4 drill bit) and see what that measures out to be - then run around and ask people "Bruh... do you even MEGA-Ohm bruh?!"

Hope you like them Doug!
I am enjoying the Tube atty with a .5 ohm SS316L build in it right now, had a Ti build in it earlier. Quite the versatile tank, minimal parts and builds like a Kayfun.

That does look stunning. :thumbs:

It's nice to see clean lines on these new mods.
Yah it is pretty clean and the price is very good. I remember the Droids being up over 200 bucks not long ago. After thinking about it today I really think I would rather have a Dna60 version which I am sure they will do. If not the 75 is pretty nice.

Does this mean I don't have try the 220v wicked with odd socks variable voltage dryer vape. The lint would give it extra flavor but the 4 inch vent might be more airflow than I need.

Can you limit the airflow with an o-ring or vape band :p

Add top fill, inexpensive, lots of interchangeable tank options (like the Kayfun). It hit all my check boxes.

How do you find the top fill / juice flow control? Any flooding or leakage problems? Thanks

The top fill is a bit of a PiTA these days compared to the other newer RTA's. It is by no means difficult, you just have to watch you don't fill it too full or it will squeeze out the top where the chimney comes through. The JFC works as it should and I have not had any leaks or floods whatsoever, I wick it exactly the same as I do the Kayfun 4.

Mine came without the tank o-ring installed on the base so I just put one on it from the spares kit.

I still need to go through the FT thead and see what options I can play with.
