Hey guys got my first RDA less than two weeks ago and I'm already thinking about adding a second..I'll maybe purchase it in a month or so. I really like the one I have but I'm looking for something different for whatever mood I may be in. Right now I'm rocking the Wotofo Lush Plus..It's great but it's rather small (I don't think I can experiment with any cool coils..maybe I can?) and the juice well is almost non-existent (dripping every 2 or 3 hits is kind of getting old) So I'm looking to get maybe a larger RDA but not so big that it would look stupid on my alien 220 mod. Also side-airflow would be ideal as the one I have now is bottom style..and finally a nice juice well is a must. I'm not looking for a cloud chaser or a flavor chaser but a nice well rounded unit that performs great. I've been looking at the Icon RDA as it seems like a great piece and the price is right but some say that may be for the advanced builder?!? I don't know..I'm kinda lost. Also my options may be limited living in Canada. We only seem to carry the popular stuff (kinda sorta) Is the Icon suitable for my situation? Any input is appreciated.

I don't have the icon but from all the reviews seems like a good one. And I think you can build it as simple or complex it's up to you. If you're into single coil, I have the Vandyvape Tony B project Pulse 22mm bf rda. It's great! Nice flavor, nice Clouds has a unique squonkable feature, juice is evenly distributed into both juice wells. Can be used as a regular rda. Deep juice wells, pretty much leakproof.

Troll 25mm.

Easy to build, huge juice well, sturdy, inexpensive, drip tip options from 510 size to wide bore, plenty of room to build, and decent side airflow. Plus fits the alien perfectly.

Only real con is it is not ideal for builds with more than fused claptons. Screws come in from the sides which can make it less asthetically appealing when mounting aliens, ssfc, staple coils, etc. vapes absolutely fine. Just tweaks the wire a bit.


Never had the icon, but looks like it would suit you just fine, too. Just sharing my experience.

Not even noticible.

I thought the same thing about my apocalypse rda. Until I got one. And it has become probably my favorite to build on and vape.

I am a fan of function over form, though.

Which twisted messes in particular?

TM 24 is nice to build on and decent flavor, but not a huge juice well.

Just buy 'em all. Will end up doing it anyway. Just get it outta the way now.

Temple mini is another solid choice imho.

Or just go with your first choice and get the icon. Looks solid as any.

Just wait til you decide to diy juice and make complex coils. Those are the real rabbit holes. But worth every second.

Just so ucan see how the troll looks on an alien. The face is not as gaudy as you might think.

Well I kinda feel stupid for making this thread now as I've settled on the Icon. It's a simple classy design that apparently vapes great. (according to my research) the single coil option is a plus! Looking forward to picking one up! Thanks for your suggestions and what not I really appreciate it!

Gearbest has the SS on flash sale for $18.46 right now. I got the black from there for under $16 a few months ago.

Ordered one myself today. Had to try it out. (Plus 5 other RDA's I "had" to try out!)

No RDA collection is complete without a Goon RDA

Would love an OG, I have the 8$ clone from fasttech and it's literally the best 8$ I've ever spent. Already ordered a couple more in case something happens with it lol.
