So my first and only postless goes in the mail Monday to be traded but I kinda want one for my collection. Anyone own a cosmonaut rda? I’ve always liked the looks of those and from what I understand they are squonkable now.
The CSMNT is my favorite RDA. The deck offers some very unique perks over standard decks. The low profile of the deck allows for a very small RDA without sacrificing any performance and still maintaining proper airflow that surrounds the coils. The wicks basically lay on top of the deck, so your liquid has like 5mm to travel before it gets to the coils (my favorite aspect since I'm bad for chain vaping; this is my biggest problem with the Drop/Dead Rabbit). It holds a lot more liquid than you'd imagine too. It also pulls of single coils very well, way better than any other 24mm RDA I've owned. Plus all the normal perks you'd get with a good RDA like smooth airflow, nice tolerance, classy style, etc... It's given me better flavor than any side airflow RDA I've tried (subjective, I know).
It has a few drawbacks as well though. The screws will twist flat wire leads. It's a horrible problem because District5ve could have easily put the screws on the other sides of the rectangular post thingy; I cannot imagine why they didn't do this and it bugs me. It has has a learning curve of coil height (too high and it gets hot/too low and flavor can be muted) and coil placement (toward airflow vs. in middle). And of course, it's one of those RDAs that require the leads to be evenly cut. But when you get those aspects right with the CSMNT...you'll be in heaven.
District5ve also makes a "Shawty" cap which replaces the barrel and AFC which drastically reduces the volume of the chamber. It makes flavor even more intense.
I bought my CSMNT for $35 in December using a random coupon code I found on Reddit from like a year ago lol. I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but since it was cheap enough I gave it a try. Knowing what I know now, I'd pay full price for one without thinking twice (which says a lot cause I'm CHEAP). If District5ve came out with an updated version that fixed the post screw placement, I'd also pay full price for it.
They are squonk-able now btw, but the kit costs like $15 so be prepared for that extra expense.
