Check out the New Druga RDA By Augvape

[Deucesjack]

All right peeps, Augvape has a really interesting looking new RDA coming out. Let's hear some thoughts on this bad boy because Augvape is listening. I for one am really digging those post screws and the Ultem DT.

Here are some features:

1.SS 304
2.24 mm Diameter
3.810 Drip tip
4.24K Gold Plated Deck
5.Clamp Snag System
6.Come with Ultem Drip Tip And Derlin Drip Tip
7.Come With Gold Plated Brass Pin And SS Squonk Pin

Looks pretty good. I like the new idea for a deck, ultem tip looks great love the sqounker pin included. Overall it's a good looking rda


What's up with the name though? You Google it and it corrects it to drugs lol. Why not something cool like the demogorgon?

hmm, Doesn't seem there is a way to really tighten the leads down besides hand tighten and or using some type of wrench...I didn't see slots on the top...additionally i'd rather not rely on the fasteners edge to be the contact (Can cut through some less robust leads) but have lets say a flat bearing inside where the cap compresses the leads down.

The bearing would be flat on bottom and rounded on the top to make the compression onto the leads based upon the caps structure looking semi rounded...this making any sense? lol

Edit: And might as well reduce the AFC slot 2MM, if its anything like the TM24, the slot has WAY to much AF, like ZERO restriction when open.

EDIT2: Looked on Augvapes site, the compression has Phillips slots

Edit 3 lol : Add an Ultem AFC Cap to go with the Ultem DT...304 gets warm with larger builds, this i'd gladly pay a little more, and have a slightly more protruding 510 pin to use with hybrids

Outside of that, I'll probably pick one up regardless...All about new RDAs.

I am digging this rda cosmetically! Very classy and very clean. I am liking the posts. Being able to set the coils and hand tighten will allow you to adjust the coils and follow it up by tightening down the posts with the Phillips head. Adding in the multiple drip tips and the squonker pin is a nice added bonus. I just got my first squonker box and only have one rda for it right now... this one here i feel would be a great new addition!

Great looking rda, but does it perform? That is what I want to know!

Also, have to agree with @SirRichardRear... that name is the only down side. Like he said, when I tried a simple Google search, it kept wanting to autocorrect to drugs.

Regardless of the very minor thought on the name, I want to try this beast out and see if it can take us to flavor town! Looking forward to this very much. Well done Augvape!

That's one town that I don't need no map for. Lmao.

 

[fartbubble]

The name is eh. I can see Druaga as that actually means something but druga is eh. Also like that Daredevil emblem on the barrel.

Not really digging the posts. They look tall for the sake of being tall. More RDAs coming with squonk pins are nice though

 

[Infinite1]

This is a really good design. Super classy. Ultem DT, post screws are both positives.

Although I love the "look" of shorty DT, they are just not very practical esp for RDAs where your lips are bound to touch that potentially scolding hot Top Cap.

I would love to see the Ultem DT a tad taller to give greater distance from the top cap personally.

Sent from a random device, most likely a Note 5...the one that does not blow up!

 

[mjag]

This does look really interesting but @Infinite1 makes a good point about the height of the drip tip. A taller DT will be a god send when chain vaping, don't want to wind up with bacon lips...lol

I really like the look though.

Squonk got my attention - especially being a huge fan of the Boreas and the Merlin

My two bits for what it's worth I would snag it up just like it is now, it's beautiful and the deck/posts have me very interested.

For a squonk pin I say go with a hex like the Hadaly, not a slotted pin. Much better seal

+1000 for squonk pin included
-10 for lack of drip tip adapter.

Easy to fix - add a drip tip adapter (or change the Delrin so it's a tip/adapter in one?)

 

[Heartsdelight]

Love the look, the post screws and Squonk ability. I agree the Ultim driptip needs to be a tad longer.

 

[caihlen]

I want one.

 

[Markw4mms]

Totally agree. Nothing is more annoying than getting a great RDA with one proprietary drip tip that you don't like. I understand they're going for a certain look with those low profile DT's but not everyone finds them enjoyable. I don't know why every company doesn't include a longer DT or at the very least a 510 DT adapter so I can use my own.

I don't like care for the short tip either personally but I found that tfv8 tips fit most of these. I'm not sure about this one though. If they could provide you a measurement we could figure it out

Looks really good as others have said not sure I like the drip tip on it though chuff caps tend to lend themselves to muted flavour in my experience ...loving the squonk pin in all honesty all RDAs should have this as standard these days

Yeah they need a longer DT or a 510 adapter. Both would be nice.

Having said that I'm on the augvape fan list now ...so deuces when is your Augvape RDTA review coming out! I'm impatiently waiting for it lol

after having the Gaia and Pindad I think RDTA (or genesis style to some) are quickly becoming my favourite types those 2 are impressive (especially the latter) and squonk capable

I keep trying to tell all the manufacturers that I have some killer ideas but they don't listen. I would love to design a line of tanks and Rda's.

I just sanded down one of my tfv8 acrylic drip tips to fit it into my Beast Rta. I have lined the tfv8 drip tips with various other rta's/rda's and finding they aren't far off. So grabbing some acrylic ones that are easy to sand, solves that problem for me.

Totally different tanks. I still run my OG Merlin in my daily rotation but people had issues with leaky bases. Augvape replaced mine for me but others weren't as lucky. I love the flavor I get off the OG Merlin. The Boreas is just a fucking cloud chucking beast. It vapes just like an Aromamizer Supreme. The machining on it is not as good as the Aromamizer but it definitely gets the job done.

[Roadtrip635]

Looks nice, like others I hope they at least include a 510 adapter. Having an included BF pin is always a plus, like to have more squonking choices.

It looks like as it has a v short dt your lips are inevitably gonna be against the metal top cap, so with many builds it's gonna be burnt lip city.

Yeah that's how they're making all the RDA'S lately. Hopefully they include a 510 drip tip adapter.

Ha ha no, from the short DT lips on metal. They should totally add a 510 adapter or a skirt that covers the top cap...or both.

Geekvape have both in the Avocado 22 SE, bit too late now as I got the burn yo lips 24 version

Okay, I pre-ordered a Druga at Subtank Supply

That name Druga

I once was soundly criticized for posting in an Augvape thread that the name Augvape itself sounded old and pokey - and reminded me of a high fiber cereal my grandpa used to eat

 

[markcfh]

It says on their website that it takes an 810 drip tip, that's the goon size right? Any early testers confirm?

Goon is 810 - the 510 converters for the Kennedy and Griffin work very well on the Goon, and I'm hoping the Druga

This is the cheap way to get there from FastTech. The first adaptor I got for my first Goon from a US vendor ended up costing me over $5 with shipping

I spent the $29 on one via 3FVape, pre-order til the 30th (more like whenever the fuck they get it) but whatever. It will be here by April 1st

Okay, the last time I pre-ordered from a US vendor and others pre-ordered from China, the folks that ordered from China got theirs about a week before I did and paid less

I have a bunch of goon drip tips, so I'm hoping they work. If that 510 adapter works I think that would be great for squonk styles.

I have my fingers crossed - I do not like those giant choade style drip tips
