I didn't see a thread for this RDA yet, so I figured why not start one. Apologize if there is already one for the Recurve. Saw a few mntions of it in other threads, but no dedicated thread yet.

I got the Wotofo Recurve yesterday and it's a VERY nice little squonk RDA. I've been using the Nudge 22 primarily for a good while now, need to see how the Recurve compares with a few days use. I've not had any issues with the Nudge 22, it was probably my favorite single coil squonker.

I primarily got the Recurve since it was a new single coil squonker, and a single coil 22mm/squonk is pretty much my daily rig right now.

The build deck is smaller than I imagined, but it's really just a compact build deck similar to other 22mm RDAs. The thick top cap is what makes this a 24mm RDA. It looks nice on my devices, I have a feeling it will stay in the rotation with the Nudge 22.

I can't speak much to the flavor with it, I'm vaping unflavored juice as usual, but I built it with a simple twisted (28gx3) wire and it gives a very nice dense vape. Really surprising the vapor production from a single twisted coil.

I don' think it would be a good dripper (no real juice well), but it's a great little squonker. Mine hasn't leaked on me, even over-squonking, somehow the juice seems to fill up the juice well (on the other side of the wicks), before it starts to overflow the airflow holes. You would think it would be very leak prone, but it's not. Juice covering the air holes may get in them, but they are angled down, so as long as you don't tip or lay it on it's side after over squonking, the juice stays inside. Then taking a pull from it will suck the juice back out of the air holes and onto the deck.

I'm pleased with it so far, ordered another one to have for when the Pulse finally arrives. I'm sure it won't push the Nudge out of my rotation, but it looks like it is going to make it's way into the daily use spot. Very nice so far.

How in the world did you get an RDA that doesn't exist?

You say you have a Vandy Vape Recurve and Vandy Vape does not make a Recurve RDA.
Lol, sorry, will edit. Too early and not enough coffee yet. :D

Edit: Updated to Wotofo Recurve. Thanks for keeping my honest. For some reason had VV on the brain this am. Maybe because I'm still waiting for the release of the Pulse. ;)

Where in the heck did you get one so quickly from? It's still showing as a preorder or out of stock on most sites.

VaporDNA had them up either last Friday night or early Sat morning. I ordered first thing Sat morning when I saw them, and it arrived on Monday. was kind of surprised it shipped and arrived that quickly.

They had all six colors available then. Just checked and Rainbow and Gold are the only two colors left.

Nice! Thanks for checking! I'm going to hold out for a black one when they get back in stock. Been looking forward to this RDA!

I'm kind of a snob when it comes to bf rdas. Nardas, soul s, high endish kinda stuff. I don't like Mike, I don't like wotofo.....but damn....the recurve is an excellent rda.

Weel, gosh. I guess I'll pull the trigger...had one sitting in a cart already, but was hesitating....seeing as I don't NEED another RDA (and have an inbound Haku...).
:D

I'm in no hurry but I'll get one next time I put in an order. I don't have a blue RDA yet.
You should like it. Smooth airflow, pretty quiet, great flavor and good build quality. I'm running a 3mm spaced SS coil and it's very nice. I tried one of the included fancy coils first. I pulled one wrap off and spaced it a little. It was alright but noisy. I think your rectangle wire would be great in it.

Yeah I'm sure. I want a single coil RDA with some decent airflow. This looks like it's pretty good. I like the fact that it's tough to make leak.

I think the airflow reminds me of the Drop but a touch more restricted. The upside is, you don't have that sky high coil to try and get juice to. That's the main reason I shelved the Drop...and I prefer single coils.

I like my Drop and use it alot. My favorite RDA is my Lucid but it's an acquired taste. You'd hate the RDA I'm using right now. It's my TM30.
