Vapefly needs to work on their US distribution. I only see 2 shops in the USA with the Galaxies RDTA in stock.



I might like that drip tip with the stock 3mm restriction so I ordered it. Hopefully I get it within a reasonable amount of time!

My order from Ali still hasn't shipped yet!
I just got my shipping notice, for an order late on 7 Sept. For an ali order 5 days is pretty decent. Now for the transit wait [emoji3]

The galaxies mtl rdta does fit on the ex, no overhang. A more compact topper, say a Wasp Nano, is a better fit from a subjective looks standpoint.


Upside of the ex is it performs decently and is tiny, downside is it's only about 800mAh. I prefer it to any of the pod systems. A version without the rda at a good price drop would be excellent

Agree, like the Simple EX, would be perfect to me if it were 1000mah. I can get most of the day out of it, but I usually only run it at 3.3v. Good thing is, it charges pretty quickly, even a 15-20 min top off before I leave the house is usually enough to get me though the whole day.

I like the included rda that comes with the kit. Being a 19mm RDA, it's a perfect size for the mod, but not sure the kit warrants a $50 price tag. Considering the cost of some pod systems and the fact that it's rebuildable, I'll get my money out of it. Just bothers me to spend that for a disposable device when I can get a full size regulated squonk for the same price. Granted there's no RDA or battery included with others at this price range, but I already have batteries and RDAs I like. Would like to see mod only sold at under $30.

I like my Simple Ex, have been using it daily since I got it. However, in all honesty, it doesn't do anything the Pico Squeeze OG can't do for me. I can build for the Squeeze OG and not need the voltage adjustment. I will probably stick with the Squeeze OG once my Simple Ex dies.

For a while, I would pick up a 'spare' Squeeze OG each time I ordered from FT. Last time, looks like the price has gone up around $4. It's just under $20 for a Squeeze OG now. Still a good deal IMO. The Simple Ex is tiny compared to the Squeeze OG, but the Squeeze is small enough for my needs. Add a decent battery and you have a tiny MTL setup that will last you all day. I also like the hard Squeeze OG bottles when MTL squonking, but I picked up a few of the Luxotic silicone bottles to try in the Squeeze at some point.

I went ahead and ordered another from VaporDNA yesterday. Really liking it and wanted to make sure I had a backup.

Between the fact that distribution in the US is limited as you mention, possibly not getting restocked (or quickly) when they are gone, etc I wanted to play it safe.

Big fan of both this and the Geekvape Ammit RDA. I'm 99% a squonker now, but like that I can use the Galaxies with or without my squonk mods and not have to drip. Have to say though dripping isn't bad for MTL. A little goes a long way. I'm WAY to lazy to drip if I'm vaping DTL.

So...something you may want to keep any eye out for....

Mine has started to leak (slowly) from the 510 or, perhaps, around the threads (normal 510, by the way, not the squonk pin). Discovered a small pool of juice yesterday where it had been resting in a stand.

Haven't really troubleshot yet, but I'll have a closer look when I have time.

Maybe this will help your situation : Leaking from the pin?: FastTech Forums

Apparently, the first batch of this RDTA doesn't have an O-ring on the 510 pin so some people experienced leaking like you described. If you have a spare o-ring in that size, maybe you can fix the leaking.
