I know it starts with an R...
That dripper JUST fits on there, doesn't it? Looks really great on the white. I have that same Pico stashed away.

That’s the ryujin- aka the elder dragon. Single coil rda.
The base is 22, but it flares out to 24 in the middle. It fits in that pico perfectly. The combo Fits in my palm!
Really a kick ass little combo

VaporDNA is having some killer clearance deals right now. I picked up a Vandy Vape Berzerker MTL BF RDA for $14.99.
They have the Vapefly Pixie RDA for $12.99. Tons of other great deals.

I just saw all that, then went and balanced my checkbook. Omg it's so depressing.
I had to have a yard sale to make up for what I spent there. But great deals
Fwiw vapor range USA warehouse has Asmodus Colossal 80w mod $33. Fastech is $48 in China

I like this so much, I took advantage of VaporDNA's sale today to order this same color Elder Dragon to put on the Pico Resin I have that's been packed away. The resin is blue/green/yellow and I think the two will look fabulous together. Thanks for the idea!

It’s a fun little pocket size combo!
Did you steal that from Honey?
Think it has been a couple of months since I ordered anything vape related.

No she had the pink and likes it so much that we both ordered a white.
I have her the tank and took the mod for that rda.
How does that Elder Dragon work as a dripper? Most reviews I watched were using as a bf.

It works well, a little spitback potential, but zero leakage.
I found that if I drip after I take a hit instead of before, I don’t get any spitback. Other than that, it’s really enjoyable, love the flavor that it puts out:
I was debating on trying the Elder Dragon or getting a third Pixie. I also have a Pulse V2 and a Nudge 22 on the way via slowboat from China.

I don’t have a pulse 22 or pixie, but I do find the flavor from the ED to be better than the nudge, as well as the airflow to be smoother.
It's the Pulse V2 I have on the way. I tried the Pulse 22 but had way too much airflow. I forgot I also have the Berzerker MTL RDA on the way as well. I may give this one a try. I have $20 to use at VaporDNA.

It’s worth the risk, at least imo.
I have one on a squonk box and another one for dripping.
Not sure if you’ve tried the psyclone citadel, but the flavor is fairly close to me.
I have the that same color in addition to the stainless.

I ordered the rainbow version of the Squeeze 2 because the stainless was OOS. Stainless was what I really wanted. Sigh.

Completely agree with this. The Nudge is a bit underwhelming after some of the other RDAs, though I have to say, I love love love the DT that came on the Nudge.
I thought it'd be good after seeing a couple reviews. They were right.
Built it about the way they'd shown, bending the coil down to just hit the top of the criss-crossing AF's.
All three of 'em.
Yes, three. The dual AF on the thick-steel domed cap has one large in front and it is split into two at the rear internally with slanting AF. Pretty ingenious.
Grok it:
The N80 @ 0.28-0.3 (long legs) fires quick and warm even in the single 18650 mech and has a nice sharp clean flavor. Pretty amazing R-DL flavorful vape and dense vapor is the result. My DIY Apple Pie juice is almost tooo strong now.

Responding to my own post again, but just keeping up with processing and delivery time on the Intake I ordered off Aliexpress on 3/27.
Tracking says it's out for delivery today, so this order took two weeks from China. Really can't complain about that, especially considering the price.
Went a little crazy yesterday, ordered a Squid Detonator 120W mod in black. I am seriously excited about that.

For now, put the Intake on a Voopoo VMate. Put a 1.1 ohm stainless steel Clapton in it, somewhere around 8 wraps at 3 mm ID, 26/36 I believe.
Hell all these different coils and wires, I can't remember five minutes after I've coiled the thing.
Don't know if anyone else has tried temp control on the VMate, but it does a damn good job. It's as good as my Aegis Legend.
Anyway, this setup is another bargain - $38.50 for the mod, $17 for the RTA, about $9 for batteries. Can't beat it. Beautiful and vapes like a champ.
ETA: By the way, if anyone has wanted to begin using RTAs but was a little nervous about it, this Intake I believe was the easiest one to coil and wick of any of the ones I've had, with the single exception of the Merlin Mini RTA. Augvape must keep in mind that it's nice to have RTAs that aren't screaming pains in the ass to build.
This one would be good for a beginner, as long as the person could be happy with restricted DL. It's not an airy tank.

Another report about response time by Aliexpress: Placed an order on 4/2 for a Vapor Storm Raptor semi-regulated squonker. USPS tracking has it on schedule for delivery tomorrow. 11 days, that might be a record for deliveries to me from China.
My electronics parts from AliExpress have been arriving sooner as well.Another report about response time by Aliexpress: Placed an order on 4/2 for a Vapor Storm Raptor semi-regulated squonker.

I have both. I like the Colossal a bit more. Like the color options better, too. The price came down on them, so that's a real deal!

@nadalama , this shot is for you.
I know how much ya dig the simple and sleek SS stuff of the 'older days'. Me too.
You're so right, I do like that stuff, a lot! Now that I have that stainless Narta, should resurrect my kbox mini platinum and pair up those two.
Both the Kanger Dripbox and the Arymi mod I ordered were a bust. Both malfunctioning. Bummer.
Here is a helluva deal.
iJoy Diamond VPC kit. It uses a pod attachment that can also use juul pods. But it has a 510 connection and goes up to 45w. Great little versatile beater or backup. Lots of color choices too.
13.50 when you use code DNA10.

I spoke too soon. Order is "arriving late." No indication as to the reason for the delay, no expected delivery date listed. Happened after the item was in New York, so not Ali's problem unless paperwork was the issue.
Maybe helpful? I don't see any disruptions though for your area.

I have had three orders from Vaporl state arriving late at the tail end of their journey. Funny thing is every time they still arrive on time.

I get that all the time = says expected delivery date, the date comes = says it is redated.
You mean me?
Well, your Sigeleis were once 50 dollars too.
