I know that typically you sacrifice flavor for clouds, but I was wondering if there are any RDA's out there that offer clouds as well as flavor.
with that mind set...now you are better armed for your quest...That's a lot to take in lol.
*mind blown*
I did have a Plume Veil clone that I liked.
I threw a chuff cap on mine after I got it, so I didn't have the issue with the delrin insulator by the drip tip. It worked great when it worked. I couldn't tell you what brand clone it was because I bought it from a friend. It was slightly used but not much at all. What happened with mine was I melted the insulator holding the positive posts, probably from running hot builds on it. Once that happened the positive post would spin when I would build on it and the positive posts would slide up and down thus sliding the 510 pin up and down. But like I said, when it worked it worked great! I've also heard that Infinite makes pretty solid clones. I'm thinking about getting a Veritas from them.I want to get a Plume Veil, but all the clones I've seen have the same problem: the Delrin insulator @ the drip tip becomes very loose when you try to adjust top airflow. Did yours have that issue? What brand clone was it?
I have the Tugboat v2 (clone), and it's a solid RDA. Short chamber w/ conical cap makes for some good flavor. The build deck is nice and deep also, you can really load it up with juice.
I wouldn't go to a cloud chasing competition with any of them, but they do provide some good flavor with reasonable amount of vapor.Here are some that come to mind:
You're right, typically you sacrifice one for the other: flavor or clouds...you usually can't have both. However, those listed above are consistently ranked among great flavor RDAs that also produce good vapor.
- Plume Veil
- Tugboat
- Zenith
- Veritas
How are the post holes? Was considering getting one. I wasn't sure if it would hold a 26g quad buildEver since I bought my Vertex V2 I haven't looked back. I got it with flavor in mind but was impressed by the vapor it put out. What I like most about it is how the airflow creates a vortex which keeps the Vape surprisingly cool for the builds I've put in it. Flavor is incredible.

Do you run your quad with the T straight or angled? Currently have mine straight, was considering trying angled to see if the coil air flow behaved differentlyMy favorite for balance of clouds and flavor is my plume veil. I have two clones now. one is two 26 guage micro coils @0.5ohms. my other is a dual coil 26ga parallel build @.037ohms (my favorite)
I didnt like my veritas, I ended up selling it, it was a pain to build on
i also have a derrenger clone on a praxis mod clone, it is a pretty decent set up for flavor/clouds. I ordered a 2nd one two that I will do a ni200 build on when I get my dna40

Don't feel bad, I buy clones as well. Most of my stuff is from eBay or angel lolThe post holes are 2mm looking at it now so you would have plenty of room for your 26g quad build. Mine is a clone I purchased from Angelcigs for $9.67 but I do have a few gripes on mine. First the post screws were garbage and stripped out in like a week so I swapped screws from one of my other RDA's. Second the drip tip connection is a bit to wide so all my tips were wobbly, I had to put thicker o-rings on my tips to
make them fit snug. Other than those couple negatives this RDA is phenomenal.
Hopefully there's other clones out there without any issues. I'm too cheap to buy authenticates although this one looks to
Be around $90 bucks which isn't bad.
About the airflow I copied this description from the manufacturer;
"Slotted Cyclops airflow always brings the best vape, but chasing better vapor production in a small extremely flavorful package is a task. To address this, a total of 6 Air slots outfit the atty. The air slots are cut to different thickness, to effect low pressure, and high pressure at different placements inside the RDA, creating a true adjustable vortex effect, by modifying the air speed.
The full effect is a coil that has more air pass over its surface area at the correct speeds and placement, low pressure at the bulk of the coil, high pressure above and below to pull the vapor away from it."
The airflow is like no other atomizer I've ever used and the best by far. I can't really explain it but when you vape on it you will understand.

Very few vapers can afford to pay for authentics, so they buy clones.I just can't let myself pay the 'official' price.

Well for myself I get what works and use it. I'm not the shiny happy vaper so it's not so much I can't afford it as I can't justify spending $200+ on a threaded tube with a button and 510 connection.Very few vapers can afford to pay for authentics, so they buy clones.
Companies like infinite and cigeen have noticed this and started designing in the US, but contracting the manufacturing out to china. This business model works extremely well and benefits everyone.
Derringer can truly deliver both, flavor and clouds. I've been enjoying dual 24 gauge five wrap macros @ 60w, two airholes open and its perfect for my taste. For mechs i use 22 gauge to get the same experience.The derringer looks interesting..
Indeed! Well put. I love that rda...Check out the CTLv3 wide open great clouds, start closing it down for flavor
