Low Profile RDA/RTAs?

[decker]

I'm currently picking 1-2 RBAs (hopefully one RTA, one RDA). What are some (hopefully) recent low profile ones? They can be wide, my mod can handle it, but I've noticed I don't like the look of tall attys on my mod.

I've heard bad things about the Goon LP, which would have been perfect. What else is out there?

And what about the Derringer? How does it hold up compared to the modern models? 'Cause I'm more than a bit in love with that thing. Thanks!

I got a Derringer V3 clone from FT and like it.
Not sure it is really a clone since Derringer made no attys with Velocity style posts....

 

[MannyScoot]

Just ordered a couple of Druga's RDA V2 with single and dual airflow and with the squonker pin included ..... lots of reviews giving it top reviews even above The Goon.... And the goon is a real flavorful RDA.......

Yeah but the reviewers said the Tsunami was the best thing since sliced bread.
I will wait a while.

they pretty much did the same on the Velocity. Both are kinda ho hum to me.

I've had the Druga for a while now. Here's my take on it.

For lovers of open airflow tsunami may not be ideal, but with vapor production so exceptional it’s hard to see how it would cause an issue.

The draw is still pleasantly airy, but it’s got enough resistance to to keep vapers (who aren’t big on whooshing, massive airflow) happy........ and it's not small the goon is a Midget compared to a tsunami.... And I saw you asked for a small RDA..... Ask DeucesJack he just reviewed the Druga and he knows velocity style decks real good.....

The Druga is the future..... Of rda's 20 to 25 drops of ejuice no leaks, airy, quiet and love the Building coils without tools, just hand tighten the coils and vape.....

The Druga looks right for an original for $30 to $39 and a clone for $15.00..... if DeucesJack loves it..... It's a winner !!!!

As for a good rta, I would suggest the Augvape Alleria (although not incredibly low profile, amazing flavor rta.

As for an rda? I suggest the Derringer. It was my first rda and still use it to this day. A GREAT flavor powerhouse.

Not wanting to start anything becuase I really have nothing against the Druga.
But aside from the posts what is so different as to make it vape better?
Seriously just curious.

Seriously just curious.

What makes the vape is not the posts, size dimensions etc. What makes the flavor is the design of the chamber (how the air travels and the direction of the air does it spin like a tornado on the way up or is it a flat and up the chimney vapor, the airflow amount and how smooth it hits the coils top bottom etc it's another factor,

So better said, newer attys are developing with these newer characteristics...... So moving ahead or going back in time.... It can be confusing.... And challenging I know how you feel....

Good reply Manny. Thanks.
And yes vaping is very confusing.
Have been an avid student for about 2.5 years and sometimes wonder if I have learned anything.

FOr a low profile RDA, I would go for a hadaly or a NaRDA. Best low pro single coil bangers out there.

For an RTA, the Innokin AXIOM is QUITE surprising how good the flavor and vapor production is! It's cheap as hell too, around 20-25 usd...it's a sub ohm tank, but comes with a great little rba 3 post deck.

Pure RTAs, the Kylin is my current favorite m with the 2 mL glass, it's low pro, but there is a 6 mL extension glass which is nice as an option when you're out and about!

 

[decker]

The NaRDA seems impossible to find, maybe a clone?

I've heard really good things about the Hadaly, that's definitely in the running (though *technically* not in my budget).

I'm glad the Derringer is still a good choice, I love the look so much. Does anyone have advice on how to get an authentic one? I've seen some on eBay, but the clones look so similar, I don't know how I'd be able to tell them apart. And I'm not opposed to a clone, I just don't want to pay an authentic price for one.

Fasttech has some great NARDA clones, I git one for less than 10 bucks shipped....it's 1 to 1 also, as I compared it to a friend's authentic , same great flavor, smooth swooshy airflow, and classic look. Check one out.

As far as as Derringer, it gets far too hot for my liking, and I am not a fan of the deck as much as the narda or hadaly. Cheers mate!

I like the Derringer V3 clone which is not a clone since Derringer never made a V3.

the SXK odis atty clone is nice.

 

[decker]

Lactone, do you know which one you ordered?

What size is the drip tip for the Derringer/clone?

 

[The Cromwell]

The V3 clone I got from FT uses a standard drip tip.

The Hadaly is by far my favorite RDA. It's very low profile and has great flavor. If you can swing it, I'd say get one. I've also heard there are some very well made clones of the Hadaly.

 

[MWorthington]

@KingPin! was telling me about the Shenray Hadaly clone. He really likes his, said it was good quality and great flavor.

Click on this link if you're interested

 

[skt239]

Another I hear good things about is the wasp RDA. Very low profile and is around or under $20 I believe.

 

[decker]

Okay, I definitely need to check out the Hadaly.

I've been talking with someone about buying an authentic Derringer, too. So many good options.

 

[KingPin!]

Yeah that ShenRay Hadaly is the nuts haven't taken it off my squonker yet apart from a clean and rewick ....been a permanent feature since I've had the drone bf

Juice well sucks though so best used with a squonk mod don't think I'd bother using it if dripping even if flavour is next level

 

[f1r3b1rd]

For low profile rdas I have the following and these are my opinions:

NaRda - very good flavor single coil a little closer to a mtl or restrictive lung hit
Hadalay- better flavor than the NaRda single coil and more of a restrictive lung hit to direct lung
0-atty- kind of a cross between the two above.
Wasp nano- open airflow single coil very much a direct lung only.
Derringer- dual coil or single coil can run anywhere from mtl to dl
Bambino- dual coil and pretty much dl
Freakshow mini-vacation bottom airflow, DTL and can run single or dual coil
Lowpro mini- direct lung single coil and pain to build on


For low profile tanks I have the opinion of these:

Serpent mini- single coil, built well mostly restrictive lung hit
Cthulhu mtl, single coil can run anywhere from mtl to DTL
Engine- direct lung dual coil only

If it were me and I were looking for a low profile tanks for direct lung, I would look at the kylin from vandyvape, keeping in mind for that 2ml of juice at high power won't last long.

Also the Kylin is a postless deck. Honestly, that's the only reason I didn't suggest it. Just a little skittish when it comes to postless decks myself. Never built on one before.

For the low profile RTA I really like OBS Engine, both dual and single (Nano) coil versions. Recent discovery: dual coil Engine really benefits flavor wise from an aftermarket drip tip… that costs as much as the Engine itself, unfortunately. I'm using mine with a CSMNT ultem 510 drip tips, not the wide bore ones. These guys to be exact.

As LowProfile I supposed something as Chaos RDA or Shift RDA...

I felt the same about postless decks as well. Then my girl bought the petri rta; and, I had to get over it quick. Honestly, it's not that much of an adjustment. It's nothing that I would ever suggest to a newer builder; but, it's nothing overly complicated either.

The #LimitedEdition postless deck is only optional.

I like the deckless posts the best.

Thats a damn fine looking RDA ...is it mason that do the same one in multiple different sizes or is this a different rda in thier line up?

Mason is not the name of the brand, it's Vapergate (from a company named Yoshicon LLC in Lakewood, Colorado). But yeah, AFAIK all Mason RDAs come in multiple different sizes excepting my 27mm Mason Advocate and of course the one of a kind 160mm Mason that was given to David Yoshikawa for his birthday present.

Dude, the builds in the first and third pictures...are those possible for mere mortals? Do they vape as nicely as they look? I've never seen anything like that before.

Edit: for those of you who have the Hadaly, what builds do you run? I've been experimenting between .3 and .7, trying to find the sweet spot.

Heehee. Go to the coil builder section and do a search for Raymo2u.

I run mine between a 0.3-0.4 with ss fused Clapton-3mm inner diameter

I use a 0.3-0.4 ohm n80 fused clapton around a 2.5mm in my hadaly, perfect vape every time.

You're welcome . Aliens are great too, just I'm too lazy usually to build em, fused Claptons are almost as good and 10x easier fir me. Cheers!

 

[jodi3moons]

Haha I don't build 'em myself - I don't have a drill, so I can't really make any fancy shit (or can I? Is there any way to do it without a driill?)

The Avid Artisan Daedalus. I don't have it because I had decided to get a drill instead, but the shopkeeper at the local B&M store uses the Daedalus to build fused claptons and 28/38 Ni80 aliens all the time... he swears by those dual coil alien builds he makes mostly for his own personal use, and he hardly ever fails anymore at making them look pristine. (I myself only had one successful attempt so far at building my own alien coil because when I stop the drill and start it up again I screw up too often so I tend to now really dislike trying to make them.)

 

[inspects]

Petri V2 is a good flavorful atty, can get standard or cloud caps.

 

[jodi3moons]

Thanks I'll check that out.

 

[BornToDie423]

If you are looking for a low profile rebuildable tank, I'd look into the Moonshot. It's a little thing, but it performs rather well.

 

[midknight420]

The Moonshot is a good tank, but a bit tricky to build on. That's why I suggested the Tornado Nano. They are very similar, but the Tornado Nano's deck is stationary and doesn't spin like the Moonshot's does.

You could almost call the Tornado Nano a Moonshot V2 LOL.

I have tried both, and surprisingly the Innokin axiom is better than both flavor wise and ease of use imo. Maybe not as easy as the nado, but far superior vape quality .

As far as the drill vs daedalus, a drill is cheaper and more versatile imo
