Up to Date RDA/RDTA Recommendations?

[MonkeyTokes]

I had one of those days where everything that seemingly can go wrong does with my drippers. My big dripper center pin somehow pushed inside the connector and since its not adjustable its now useless and my doge V1 negative post have been wearing down for a while now and finally they gave out. I've been able to get a different screw to stay in the one for now, but I'd like a new rda to replace them as my only other RDA is the Omerta which isn't very practical for thicker wire and bigger coils.

I haven't really been keeping up with new devices being released for probably the last 3 months so I'm not too sure what's worth getting and what's not. The only preference I have is that it be compatible with a chuff cap. Its weird change going from that empty airflow back to a regular 510 driptip

Troll fits your criteria. You can get a chuff cap for it. I'm using it with reg drip tip. I really, really like the Troll.

 

[Tom Forde]

Velocity RDA.

 

[alicewonderland]

if you mean specifically a chuff cap im not sure. If you just mean widebore cap then heres my reccomendations of what I currently have

1. Hazematic Revolt RDA
2. El Cabron RDA
3. Little Boy RDA

El Cabron. One of the best big airflow drippers and it has a SS chuff style as well as a derlin chuff style which never gets hot. Huge juice well, great flavor, sturdy posts with huge holes and right now you can get it at elementvape for $45. I just bought two more.

Derringer.

That is all

Was looking at the little boy months ago, and forgot all about it, thanks for the tips! Little boy - ordered!

 

[MonkeyTokes]

Velocity RDA.

Ordered!

I've been considering the troll for a while, mostly because of the flashy colors and also the ease of dual coils. Only thing is that I'm not fond of grub screws but ill toss a clone on my next FT order and see what its about :]

 

[alicewonderland]

grub screws are def the way to go, especially the rounded bottom ones. They dont clip your leads if you tighten too much and they dont back out on you so you never have to retighten. I ordered a load of 3mm and 2.5mm grub screws and changed all of the screws on all my RDA's because of this.

I'm gonna go ahead and mention the Mutation Xv4 (love mine) and Airek if you like clouds. For RTAs I'm really happy with my Cthulhu RTA.

I love my Infinite CLT V3 RDA with glass mouthpiece/chuff cap, works great and looks awesome in black!

The derringer. If you don't have one, you should. I'd say spring for an authentic if you can, but if you aren't sure plenty of good counterfeits for under fifteen bucks.

I don't see it mentioned very often, but the Mad Hatter surprised the hell out of me. I thought it would be a gimmick, but the built in flip chuff cap is all steel and the heat sink fins + overall mass keeps it cool and it takes most 510 sized drip tips if you find it too short/wide. Im assuming I have a clone due to the price I paid, though the fit and finish at least equal my mutation xv4, though I may have just gotten lucky.
Despite its large vaporization chamber size it has pretty good flavor and is a fog machine assuming you have your coils right over the AFC vents.

If you despise o rings check out the magma. It is a little dated in terms of overall airflow but it has a tectonically deep drip well and as long as you wick it correctly and don't overdrip it doesn't like to leak. It has a two post build deck so build options are slightly more limited vs three post designs (I count the T block center post like the mxv4 as a three post design).

That is the short list. Check out the derringer though, it is way too good to pass up. Easy to build on, surprisingly adjustable. Works well single or dual coil. Heats up a bit if you are running a high wattage setup, I guess you could add a keppler 22mm 510 heat sink if it is problematic.

I would add a +1 to getting atties with grub screws. Button heads are garbage. The typical button head will amputate thinner wires in your posts and when used for temp control aren't electrically stable enough unless you wrap the wire around the screw and trap it between the button head and post, usually adding leg length to the coil.
I guess mcmaster-carr can rectify any poorly equipped atomizer terminal block, though.

I have the CompVape Triple-Threat Trio; El Cabron, Twisted Messes, and the 13 Heavens & 9 Hells.
Of all the plethora of RDA's I've owned, have to give those 3 my personal #!-#3 All-Time. IMO the 13/9 would get #1 of the 3. Actually sold or given away all the many others bought and used over the past 3 years.
Very Well made. Tight tolerances and fits together awesomely.
DEEP Wells (6mm deep) holding a TON of Juice so can hit it hard without having to Drip every 3 or so Toots.
Awesome Air Flow. Also variable to suit personal preference.
Come with Large Chuff Cap, Delrin Wide-Bore "Chuff-Style" Drip Tip, and standard Drip Tip Adaptor.
Comes with extra Center Pos Pins and Extra Post Screws.
Adjustable Silver-plated 510 Connection Pin.
Accepts Single or Dual Build (although no idea why ya'd want to do a Single on this).
Inset Allen-headed Post Screws to minimize stripping possibilities.
Aesthetically Nice & Pleasing. The 13/9 comes with both Black & Brass AFC Ring.
Integrated Heat Sinks (13/9 only has top Sinks. Others both lower and upper).
Easy to build on. Especially the 13/9 which has a Dual Hole Center Pin. Easiest I've ever built on.

Heard and read good things about the Mutation and the Cthulhu but never tried one. Until these rot away (which won't happen in my Lifetime) I have absolutely Zero Need or Desire to get another RDA. That is miraculous as up to these, I have always been one of the first on the "All New Biggest & Best" Bandwagon. Now if I could just find an "End-All" Mod to match these "I'm Done" RDA's....
I know RDA's (like anything else) are Subjective in Nature and very difficult to factually judge or ordain a "Best". That being true, there MAY be some as good all around as the CompVape Trio but IMO,,,, you won't find any better.

Was going to mention the Velocity, kudos on your order. For RDTA, I'm loving the Aromamizer RDTA. Even at max vg, never a dry hit. Also, they plan on making a deck like the Velocity, that you can use with your existing tank.

Tanks haven't really impressed me yet, though I'll freely admit that I haven't used many at all, just a tiny handful of Kangers. That said, I've tried a number of RDA's, and own a Vendetta and 3 Mutation Xv4's. Goes without saying which model is my favorite, I bought three of them.

Seriously, I'm in agreement with the recommends on the Mutation Xv4. It's a solid atty with a nice, deep well, and has adjustments that lets it kick impressive clouds, go for pure flavor, or just about anything in between. Yes, it CAN leak like a sieve. However, I've found that if you make the wick long enough to stand on its own just a bit as it curves down into the well from the coils, you can keep it away from the air holes and the juice doesn't run down the under-coil airflow holes unless you truly overfill. Also, not using wicks that run on the thick side helps, as well. It's a quirky design, but once you understand it a little it really shines. And yes, I really did get three of them... a Blue Project SubOhm edition, and two standard editions, one Black, one White. Hehehe. Excellent prices to be found on a must-have atty.

If you like flavor without big clouds, the Vendetta is a gem. The flavor will flood your taste buds. Weak, weak clouds, though.

Oh, and for those who like to know this sort of thing, I use an Eleaf iStick50w. Nothing fancy, just a solid little unit.
