Need my 1st RDA

[Dietz]

Hello Vape Tribe!

It started with a Subohm tank, got the SM25 and now I am looking at more build space and want a dripper for this (also, I dont have a dripper, so need one )

What are the two best recommended RDAs that are Under R600, But still really good?
I really love the Goon, but its a bit pricey.

Thanks in advance!

i really enjoy the tsunami ... vapeking has it on sale at the moment http://www.vapeking.co.za/tsunami-rda-by-geek-vape-vape-king.html

but i would say throw in an extra 100 and get this right now. http://www.sirvape.co.za/collection...n-authentic-recoil-rda-by-grimm-green-ohm-boy

Thanks a mil! I am already leaning more towards the Recoil RDA by Grimm Green, wow this one Looks Guuuuud!

I agree with @Nicholas on the Recoil RDA, it is a winner. Great that it has 2 barrels, nice to be able to change the style of draw a bit. Really enjoying mine and the build quality is really good. Build deck isn't enormous but that lends to the flavour you get from this. Also the draw is wonderful and smooth.

The recoil is a very nice dripper. I use mine daily. But I would still recommend a Tsunami as a first RDA. Easy Velocity deck, forgiving juice well and very good flavour on most builds due to the bottom air flow. Ease of use and versatility the Tsunami wins. IMO at least.

Okay I see, so what would you rate makes the Recoil the better choice?

I am definitely liking the Recoil better, for looks and the two caps that comes with.

One word.... FLAVOR!!! Teeny builds, huge taste. Those old Peter Stuyvesant ads must have been predicting the Recoil.

Depending on your Budget . I would advise to Let your 1st purchase be a Recoil or goon I have both and they are power RDAs !!!!!

Agree here, the flavour off the recoil is really great! Simple build and you are good to go

It may not be the simplest to build on but seeing as you have been using an SM25 I don't see why you wouldn't be able to put a nice working build in and then start to learn from it.

 

[GMacDiggity]

As @Abdul Haque Maiter said, rather buy a good one to start with. You can throw money down the drain by buying a bunch of cheap ones that mount up to R2,000 in the end or just go for one great RDA for half that and be sorted. As long as you can afford it I would go with a Recoil or Goon (never tried a Goon but from the hype train it seems they are pretty good)

 

[Lord Vetinari]

Got to admit those thick barrels on the Recoil have you know you made a life time investment.

 

[Rusty]

@GMacDiggity 100%

I had 3 RDA'S .....I got rid of all and have a GOON for the price of all 3 .
But this was the wisest decision ever !

 

[GMacDiggity]

Also one last thing, if cash is not your friend but time is (delivery is slooow) then ordering from an international vendor is the way to go. You can pick up a couple of clones and see what floats your boat with very little cost but the quality just won't be the same.

That being said it really is a pleasure to use a well build RDA like the recoil. Simple thing like the drip tip being on there tight as ever but the top cap will pop off the barrel nice and easy to baste your coils. So if you can afford it go for one of the aforementioned authentic RDA's if not I would get clones from an international vendor as they are cheap as ever

 

[Rusty]

Iv seen Recoil clones which are Identical !!!!
Good advice @GMacDiggity

 

[Nicholas]

I would say just get the authentic recoil, for R700 its a steal and you wont regret it .... in terms of clones some are great and some are terrible i have a TM clone that just wasnt quality colour fades and the ring bends too easy , but then i have the 24 petri rta clone and its amazing even better than the authentic 22.

so yeah like i said your budget is 600 just add that 100 and do it recoil is the best option and then like @GMacDiggity says look international for some clones of really expensive rda's that you like and try them out, but then again i heard the Goon clone at VK is amazing.

Any reliable online vendors that you can recommend?

Sorry to derail the train, unfortunately the recoil at the sirs show "sold out"

Funny, its just my luck that the one I decide on will be the one out of stock

Thanks for everyone's input and advice here. I am going with the Recoil RDA, im sure I will find one somewhere. i can wait, my SM 25 is keeping me quite busy

 

[GMacDiggity]

I'm pretty sure @Throat Punch has it in stock, they have some really nice drip tips also. I know the Sir Vape one was on special and not sure it'll come back at that price. For vendors 3FVape and Fasttech are good ones i think. Only just started dabbbling in the international guys, too impatient to wait weeks for something but couldn't find some stuff locally so decided to give Fasttech a bash and they seem good.

Have seen some Recoil clones knocking about also

 

[Nicholas]

HAHAHAHA Im sure it was guys from this thread.... cause im pretty certain it had stock this morning ... R700 for a recoil ... ofcourse its gone

 

[Dietz]

I will try the "who has stock" thread or if that fails Classifieds and if that fails... well I will have to wait then lol

I am Beyond Frustrated with my SM25. I know I will probably get burned for this but its My opinion, but its been giving me beans since I got it.
The problems I have with it is this:

- Dry hits (Sorted - was due to my noob experience)
- Leaking, Leaking, Leaking...(whether its a drop or bottle, Ive had it leak at least 1 out of 3 times)
- It "locks up", So I cannot get to Deck without using a Vice grip or some kind of jig with Pliers to get it of, The Chimney has got ugly scratches on it due to this (yes, I using a cloth and Tissue paper and no, I do not over tighten it). This is one of my biggest current issues as I have broken TWO glasses trying to get the tank unscrewed (Luckily Atomix has stock)

Ive read and watched masses of videos on this tank and no on seems to have half the cr@p I have with it. I guess its the color or just my luck, but I am not really loving this RTA.

Hoping I enjoy a RDA more.

Recoil is nice but once you start moving to more exotic builds, you will struggle for space. So to me its not very future proof. Just my 2c

 

[Akash]

@Dietz you're not alone. I say a prayer or 2 every time I'm about to unscrew the deck to access the coils coz it usually goes south quite fast
