Ok friends, I want to buy a new RDA .... I haz a troll, a mutation x4, a veritas, a doge, and an aris. The only one I've never used is the doge because I'd actually like to taste the juice. I like the troll and the mutation well enough, the veritas I would like more if it weren't such a pain in the ass to build on, and the aris is just dumb in general. Any recommendations?

They used to climb my old wood front door when I still had it, and look in the window.

Augvape machined at least some of the Compvape attys. I like my Twisted Messes, but it's made for big coils.
I like the Wotofo Saper a lot.

my top 5 - In the order that I go to them
Petri rda- my all day, go to, great flavor, perfect airflow. solid connection makes it perfect for tc. on top of great flavor, fantastic cloud production
Aeolus v2/Aeolus lite- pure flavor rda, very leak resistant, great juice capacity, moderate vapor production
tugboat v2, was my top before the petri for almost the same reasons, only it seems to run better in power mode and the 510 is so long that it doesn't fit flush on everything.
kennedy competition, geat flavor, Major cloud production, just a bit tricky to drip in at times.
indestructible, great all around rda, especially if your into crazy builds.
good airflow, excellent construction quality, lots of build room, good flavor

Petri is the main one I've been looking at. Will have to look into the Aeolus and the indestructible
I like the Petri V2 the best out of the RDA's I have, with the NarDa a close second.. Just bought a bottom fed Maker, haven't tried it yet but it looks like a winner, top airflow which hits the coils at the side, like the Manta...all good RDA's.

.
a new vapor has flat out asked me if I would recommend it, a few questions later I realized they were still figuring out what they like and how they vape, so I advised them to look into a joyetech evic mini, one battery, easy to operate, holds up well, updateable firmware, enough power to let them explore.
the one time I endorsed a newer vapor getting one, was few weeks ago, a young lady, had never vaped outside of an ego, she had zero desire to subohm, and had been shopping around for months, she was educated on the subject, and settled on how she vapes.
2 opposite instances, 2 differet responses
I cant advise a new vapor to sped 200$ on any mod, - not a hexohm, a dna, an sxj or any of them. In todays market a 200$ investment is something that should not be made by any vapor until they understand what they are looking for, know how they vape and know for certain that it will fit there needs- at which point they don't need a recommendation, they are simply looking for positive feedback.
As a veteran vapor we owe it to the noobs to help them succeed, not put them on a device that may or may not work for them. In conjunction, I think the first purchase should have the option to run tc, not that they should use it, but let them have it available. Tc is not for everyone; however, they will eventually want to see what its about, so I think they should have that option.
.i don't think an rx is a good mod for a beginner either, quite the contrary i think its a terrible idea for them to go into more than a single battery mod, until they know what they are doing and can be safe.
I don't think you're understanding the provarinazi thing.
the mods are fine, I own all except the radius
as to the attitude, its not the mod, its the people. I started vaping as part of that special club. i was embarrassed to tell people what mod i used, because of how they treat and talk to people. its a fucking mod, it doesn't make you better to vape your 12 mg nic from that vs what someone else is using. Unfortunately that attitude is killing the image of the brand. unfortunatelty the brand endrses it; by having you lifetime terminated if you ask questions, propose ideas, or if youre an electrical engineer and tell them that they are wrong abou the fac that a single 18650 can supply more than 40w. -- looks like i was right about that one. unfortunately that feeling towards the brand in general will continue as long as their fans are advertising for them the same way.
in short the provari feelings are a response to their own behavior. I'm not trying to be a dick just help some that haven't been around understand.
edit- I am a highly principled person, and attempted to try and understand their mentality. After multiple coversations, screaming matches and nonsensicle comments from both parties, I realized that i have a better chance finding a sasquatch; than, i do figuring it out.

Had a pet raccoon for 10 years when I was young, finally gave her to a zoo....smarter than any dog I've ever had.
Found her in a trash can at my fathers restaurant, brought her home, built a huge 20x30 cage for her to sleep in with a dog house, had tree branches all through the cage. I let her out during the day and she went into her house at night...I was the only person she wouldn't bite....I miss her now after thinking about it.

what build do you have in your narda? i have a single Clapton in mine on the reo

Yeah I didn't realize it was that much. Any thoughts on a goon or a double vision? Price wise those are more my speed.
Single as well in the SS NarDa...the damn thing is a flavor machine....!
Have a dual coil in the gun metal Narda...I like the single better...better airflow.

i don't have either, i had a twisted messes v1, and I'm not a huge fan of it, in fact i pif'd mine. It has plenty of airflow and a great deck for a builder. I'm just more about flavor than what it had to offer.
i did just get a stillaire v4, ive had it for a day and a half now, and it is about to replace the kennedy on my list. i also have a TM V2 on order, looks like he compressed the deck so it shold have better flavor

that's what i was wondering right there. i probably need to pull out the Clapton and throw in 24g to speed it up though
Just bought a bottom fed M-Atty clone from Catfish....the damn thing is built as good as the original, with no janky posts or grubs....perfect... for a third of the price...first clone I ever bought....I might try a NarDa clone.

I think the double vision chamber is 3mm shorter than the TM... Should help with flavor I think. The only reason I'm interested in the goon is the whole clamp idea. Looks cool. No idea if flavor is worth a damn on it though.
I don't really do crazy builds. I have some vertebraid wire and some fused Clapton wire from AVS and that's probably about as fancy as I'll get. I'd like to try some aliens at some point but have 0 intention of making them myself.
Lol good thing about all this is I'm in no great rush, I can stand to do some homework.
Try an M-Atty and NarDa clone, their both built well and vape the same as the 100.00 originals....those two are probably the best attys ever made, but you can get both for less money than one of the originals....which are no longer manufactured. Both those RDA's are FLAVOR for days....!

that's me, i use the fused Clapton SSwire from them and regular Clapton, i don't have the patience to go nuts. @Simply Red has a double vision. and a few other compvape attys that he can fill you in on
We have a couple here that are rather brazen. I'm pretty sure that they're the kits of a momma that was around here a few years ago - saw them when they was babies.
We're in the city, but we live across the street from a wooded retention pond area. It's home to all kinds of critters, including these 'coons. First ten years we lived here, never saw 'em. Seeing them more and more now. Anyways, during the summer months, we leave the back slider open so our cats can come and go as they please. One night last summer, I'm sitting in the living room watching the tube when I hear rustling out in the dinning room/kitchen. Thought it was one of the cats so I got up and stuck my head through the door. There he was, ol' Rocky, chowing down in the dog food bin. He just gave me the "Whaaahht!" look for disturbing his mealtime. I gave him the "Shooo!" treatment, and he just looked insulted that I would dare interrupt his meal!! Took some more cajoling to get him out the door onto the stoop and he turned and gave me another annoyed look. Had to shoo him again onto the patio, where he turns with the annoyed look again and decides that it's bath time! Took a little more firm persuasion to get him off the patio and into one of the trees.
What a brazen little bastard!!
We put the dog down early last spring. Good dog, smart, retriever/Chinook mix. His food bin had a flip-up cover, no latch, nothing - he coulda' flipped it up and eaten himself silly. Had that bin for ten years and he never figgered it out. Damn racoon does it in 15 seconds.
If they can figure out how to remove a bungee cord keeping a trashcan lid on, they can pretty much pick locks if they are hungry enough.We have a couple here that are rather brazen.
