The Mikro RDA - Check out that wee thing
- Thread starter Giraut
- Start date
Its a toss up between this and the Lepton RDA...How much is that RDA? Lepton is 105 by itself but 199 with Tirador included
The Lepton is a classic 3-post design deck, which I detest.
As for price, I bought my Mikro RDA for 120 euros. It ain't cheap, that's for damn sure
Buy a clone of each then decide and buy the authentic if you so choose
I know how you feel...I bought the derringer, freakshow, hobo 2.1, mad hatter mini's, dark horse mini, the rematty, the bambino and the stumpy so far....the stumpy and derringer are my favorites right now but the others are good in my book as well...I still want to try the samurai bonsai, vertex, mutation mini's, clt v3 mini, velocity mini, 454 v2, snubnose, lepton, nectar, mikro rda and others I cant think of I want to try...
I know the results wont be drastically different but the warm/hot vape and intense flavor I love and each of them are great in their own aspects.
I found my Mikro RDA in the mail today. I installed a 15-wrap nickel coil in it, wicked it and...
WOW!
The flavor is great, and vapor production isn't half bad either And of course, by design, it doesn't leak at all. Brilliant!
Compared to my favorite RDA to date (the Manta v2 RDA), in no particular order:
- It's a tiny bit more flavorful - at least with the inner bell on,
. It produces a bit more vapor.
- It's a little harder to install the coil on, but a little easier to wick.
- With the inner bell on, the airflow is looser than the Manta v2 with the air holes wide open. Without the inner bell, it's as airy as it gets - but I don't like it that way, personally.
- The vapor is piping hot, but not unbearably so. I love it!
- There's no "layered vape" feeling like with ordinary small 3-post atomizers running in single coil mode - i.e. you don't feel hot vape from the coil side, and cold air from the empty side coming separately in your mouth at the same time.
- I don't seem to get much spitback - just the right amount that produces an enjoyable feeling - so I use it with my favorite 510 drip tip instead of the ugly plastic chuff cap it comes with.
- Because the chamber is so small and the wick so small, when the juice runs out, the temperature protection kicks in almost immediately. There's no fading like with larger atomizers - including the diminutive Manta: it puts out vapor at full steam as long as there's juice in it, and then all of the sudden it cuts out. Neat trick.
- It holds 10 drops of thick VG juice, and 12 drops of thinner VG/PG juice without drowning the coil.
Here it is on my Vaporflask: the Flask looks positively humongous compared to the atomizer
Here's the build:
And here it is with the inner bell on:
If the Mikro RDA proves electrically more reliable than the Manta v2 RDA in the long run, it'll totally live up to my expectations and it will displace it as my favorite atomizer of all time!

You have a link to where you purchased yours? I think it may be a nice addition to the "Mini" collection, the costs intrigue me...cant really see how the positive and negatives are separated from the pictures but it looks like a solid rda!!
Imagine it on a LPG Mod, it would be flush with the lip on top and only the driptip would be higher! or a SMPL/4NINE 18350 would be a nice stealthy setup!Super neat!! love me some authentics. That little guy would be bad ass on a hammer or a smaller stealth mod. Don't take that the wrong way it still looks bad ass

I got mine from Wonderfulvap in France. In Europe, as of today, there are only a handful of other distributors in the UK and in France. I haven't looked across the pond.
The negatives posts are milled into the deck. The positive posts are part of a plate that is stacked on top of an insulator "dish", itself sitting at the bottom of the deck. The entire flat surface onto which the wick rests is actually the positive pole.
