This isn't a review or bashing of other RDAs.
I want to hear from other people what RDAs they are using that they feel are very underrated than the more popular ones out there.
I'll start off by saying that I think the Lycan RDA by Cigreen is WAY underrated. By far the best RDA i own with countless options for airflow and drip tips.
What RDAs are you guys/gals using that you feel need some love!?
sub ohm dropping left and right... i can count on my hands around 10+ tanks already on the market
what else you think they can innovate on?
to me seems like the innovation for bigger and better has a ceiling and we are either at it or near it
a. wattage... 50-150 is "common" nowadays, 7-30w is what most people begin with
b. sub ohm tanks, the one im using has crazy airflow and uses cotton, flavor and vapor is on par with most rdas
c. rdas with multiple ways to build, airflow, color, flavor, etc..
what you think is "the next big thing" or you believe we near the ceiling in terms of innovation
I think we all have vape gear that will fit into the categories. I know I do. This will obviously be personally subjective so I ask that be no bashing in this thread. That being said I like some unusual gear that never really became mainstream. What do you have? Is it's good, Bad or ugly?
The Good
Vicious Ant Spade mech, Signature Tips SQ 217 and Clutch, All Armageddon RDAs, All Purge RDAs, TM24 PRO RDA, MDX B@stard Kit, Fossil Box mod. Those are my favorites
The Bad
Axial RDA I want to like it but I don't. SQ Topside mod it hits hard but the squonk bottle is bad.
The Ugly
VLX RDA the one I have is the ultem version. Wormhole RDA is a good RDA once you get it setup but it is ugly. Elder Dragon RDA is a nice little single coil RDA that I like but you have to admit it is ugly.
I recently bought the Forge v2 by MCV Philippines and really love it. It's the copper version and looks great on my Kingpin. I also bought the MCV Philippines Elite drip tip to go on it. It's actually 2 tips in one(a copper and brass that can be stacked). Anyway, it won't fit on my Forge 2 because the post screws are too tall. The tip is a wide bore, and the 510 adapter that came with the RDA is shorter and doesn't make contact with the screws.
When I take the PH screws out, the Elite drip tip fits fine. I figured I would just add some of my extra Allen Hex grub screws(which I put on all my RDAs if possible), but the screws in the MCV Philippines RDAs are one size smaller than most RDA post screws. I believe they are size 3 (#46 / 3-56). I'm guessing they are Fine coarse.
Does anyone know a site that sells screws like this? I've tried searching Google, but didn't really find anything relevant.
Thanks
I drip, I sub ohm tanks, etc. I've been running most of my RDAs & tanks on the Istick 50 & it's great (actually thinking of buying another).
But, now I'm wanting to buy an Arctic tank (I love a warm Vape, good flavor & chuck Vape). I was told that I need a mod that not only could push 70+watts, but 1 that has temp control. Should I buy the Cloupor T8 or are there other options I might like? Any help & suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hey guys and gals!! I've been a member here for a long time but I ended up going back to analogs for a while but now I'm back and very glad to see how the vaping community has grown so much.
When I left, RDAs were just getting popular but most rebuildable fans used genesis attys and hybrids. The community was no where near where it is today!
My brother just gave me a Sigelei 100w and a couple panasonic 18650's to get me off analogs and I dusted off my Opus D (DNA20). Also, just got a Kanger Subtank Nano in the mail.
I'm amazed, actually. When I went back to analogs the newest tank out was the protank 2 (I think). I'm glad to see how far we, as a community, have come.
I'm ordering supplies to start a custom Mod build so keep an eye out in the modders forum!!
Vape on!
Tanks
I have bought four RDAs from VaporDNA, all Project Subohm. First was the CLT V3 Infinite.
It read at a 0.09ohms on my reader unbuilt. So I emailed them, and they sent a replacement. In the mean time, I managed to fix the first one. The second one also read at a 0.09ohms on my reader, but I managed to fix that one, too. (BTW, by "fixed", I mean "got to read at a 1 on my ohm reader unbuilt). Bolstered by my experience being easily able to fix the CLT, I ordered a Swirlfish. Same issue, but this time, I couldn't fix it.
Got a replacement, same issue, only, again, couldn't fix it.
Figured "third times the charm", though, and got a Mutation V3. It read at a 1 on my ohm reader. Made me so frickin' happy, I got a third Swirlfish... which failed again and I couldn't fix it.
However, the new Mutation V4 came out, and since the V3 came perfect I went ahead and bought it...
Well, it's reading at a 0.08ohms unbuilt, and I can't fix it. I don't even want to email them for a replacement, because I'm fully expecting it to be the same, and I'm really sick of this same thing over and over again. VaporDNA's customer service is wonderful and the response time is almost lightning fast, but a) this is product after product, b) you can't tell me they aren't getting sick of hearing from me, and c) if I'm the only one they keep hearing about this from, there's no way it isn't starting to look suspicious.
But there is simply no way I'm the only one experiencing this. It's not my ohm reader, which has fresh batteries and reads all un-shorted, built RDAs accurately. And yet I still got a Smok Omnitester which is on its way, just in case.
So what in the hell is going on, here? I may get a regular, non-Project Subohm Mutation V4 from somewhere else and just get my money back on this one or something, but I'm really at the end of my patience with this. It's ridiculous.
If you get Project Subohm RDAs, please check them on your ohm readers. Somebody... please somebody... say I'm not alone in experiencing this.
Please.
I currently use a Nautilus for work or driving and I break out the rdas for kicking back or having fun. Well my friends, it's upgrade time. Too many tanks and my head is spinning. I'm a fan of Aspire but the Subtank Plus has my interest. I would love to hear what everyone thinks, especially pros and cons from owners of said tanks. Advance thanks.
Hey guys so I'm new to the vaping scene and I'm getting into building RDAs and learning and what not. I made a list on eBay with the things I think i'll need to start up. What do you guys think? Do i need anything else before I order all this? Or do you guys recommend different things. Thanks in advance.

Just want to know because everyone has there own opinion haha thanks!
I have an IPV4 and I bought it for battery life (dual efest 2800 mah) and I really like the feel. I use a Subtank Plus and kanthal coiled rdas in wattage mode with the TC turned off. Can this damage the mod? I haven't had any problems with using it this way. I get a full day of sub ohm-ing or dripping and it's everything I wanted in a mod with features that I may use in the future. I just don't want to find out later "you really should have used the temp control, that's why you ruined your mod". Please advise.
