Noisy Cricket w/ Rough Neck RDA V2

Was wondering if the two will work together before i buy a cricket. My hands aren't what they used to be as far as hold my Rig V2 and I have bands on it i make it more comfortable in my hand, without it slipping. I love using mechs. and also have regulated mods, but I need a beater for work. Thanks for the input.

The Rig is a single battery Mech @ 4.2v,the Cricket is Series @ 8.4 so you will need to build high with a lot of wire for the Cricket. I'd recommend a parallel Mod. My two beaters are the Dragon Clone from Kidney Puncher, around $24. There are many Tube Clones but I prefer to avoid them. I do have a couple but not overly impressed with them. Check out Beyond Vape, they carry good quality tubes at a good price. I have their Sage, 2 Oros V2's and 3 Arthas Tubes, very well built.

Thanks for the input. The build don't bother me, i build all around the spectrum of ohms depending what i'm looking for. I was wandering because it's a hybrid RDA and the cricket looks like the treading is the same as the Rig V2 to make direct battery contact.

But it's a series mod, double the voltage and you shouldn't build below 0.4 Ohms. This is significantly different than the Rig, just need to insure you're aware of that. I really do recommend a parallel mod and you would get double the battery life.

The cricket is a very bad choice for a work beater besides the fact it's cheap

The button doesn't lock, it's a hybrid that I wouldn't want in my pocket all day and it's not exactly well made.

you decided to get it because you noticed that the RDA has threading on the bottom that will fit in the hole on the noisy cricket?

Not true actually.

You will get the same battery life from both parallel and serial, since with parallel you will get double the capacity but with serial you will get regular capacity but at half the amperage then parallel at the same wattage.

Almost every mod has a 510 connection, whether it's a hybrid mod, or a mod with a center pin. Therefore, you can use your RDA on any mod that has a 510 connection. The NC has a hybrid 510 connection. However, as mentioned above, you can't lock the fire button, which might be a problem, if you want to keep the mod in your pocket.
If you can't decide, whether to get a series, or parallel mod, you could get a Lucifer clone mod. First of all, it does have the ability, to lock the fire button. Second, you can use it as a series, or a parallel mod, with minor assembly. It has a 510 connection with an adjustable center pin, you would have to adjust accordingly. I bought the following mod a while back, and I really like it a lot.

With Series you're using a lot more energy, thus less life from the batteries.

Parallel is the way to go in my opinion, 4.2v is good enough for me. I bought a brand new noisy cricket and its still in the box and I doubt I'll ever use it, so maybe I'll throw it in the bundle with the gear I have for sale in the hardware section of the forum.

The roughneck doesn't have a 510 pin.... I think the question was more like can he screw it on the cricket without using the hybrid disk.

I've had setups in series that cells actually last longer than parallel setups... mostly due to how I build differently for either setup.

Oh I still like rocking a series every now and again, for me putting a big huge ass coil in one of my 30mm atty's and rocking on my Big Pig is bloody awesome. That and pretty much the only acceptable vape I can get from my Limitless is with a series build, that works wonderful on the Satan.

It's all different, that's what I love about Vaping is all the choices we have. Plus being deep in the Rabbit Hole on he Hobby side I really am having a blast. I used to like smoking, never loved it. But I truly love Vaping, the variety, the hobby side, hell It's just plain fun!

Martnargh, that's exactly what I'm wondering. Its not going in pocket and I can build high ohm coils to suit my needs. battery life is not to big either cause I carry spares anyway. I want a non tube mech that can take some punishment and can hopefully use the rough neck RDA hopefully. If not I can find something different. Thank you for all input it does help.

I just purchased the Noisy 11 for a beater. I'm running it on the pot. I have a .28 Tactical Warhead on top and I'm really enjoying the damn thing. You can turn the mod off so no worries and you can choose between pot, series and parallel. Buttons and connections are better than the OG Noisy.
