Ok, this seems to require a bit more attention than I thought.
Let us start off with the Hadaly. The Hadaly is actually not a mass produced item, in fact only 12,000 units have been made to date since its release. The reason for this is the complexity of its design and the time the deck spends on the CNC. The Hadaly is a HE RDA in every sense, its origin of design comes from 3 classic HE RDAs namely, the Hobo Drifter, M-Atty and NarDA. Psyclone took all of these fantastic RDAs and mutated out something really special.
Let me address the o-rings, whistling and overheating before I continue. The o-rings are tight on purpose to prevent condensation to get between the deck and cap and cause leaking in between. If you apply your basic maintenance of o-rings you would know that for ANY new RDA you should always apply PG to them before putting the cap on. This prevents the rings from slipping and stretching. If your deck is not sitting flush, chances are that you have stretched your o-rings and need replacing. If your cap is extremely tight, chances are that you never lubricated them up. One needs to remember that the Hadaly is not like your normal commercial RDA that has low tolerance levels and that needs to be compensated for in design due to mass production i.e. 100,000+ units.
The whistling is due to the fact that either the cap is not sitting flush (which I have discussed above) or the fact when you put the BF pin you did not keep the positive post correctly seated and it moved slightly where the insulator is slightly visible through your air hole. This is a simple fix by unscrewing your 510 and then aligning the deck to where the insulator is not visible and tightening the 510 back in.
As for the tank overheating at 0.6ohms, that is not the greatest way to look at things. Remember this is NOT a cloud blowing RDA, this is a flavor tank. If you are going to have a beefy build in this RDA you are going to overheat it. Try a simple Ni80 28x2 fused 38, 3mm ID, 5 wraps, counterclockwise spun at 38W which will come to about 0.55ohms. I promise you that you will be BLOWN away!
Now lets put an end to this HE speculation. My post is not a matter of opinion but rather a matter of facts. I participate in many of the HE designs and prototype testing. I am apart of the groups where selection of HE status is done in fact. One needs to understand that the reason a NarDA or M-Atty is done within the USA completely and in boutique workshops is because of history. If you actually knew the history behind this you would know that Nareg (The owner and designer of Nar Mods) was actually betrayed by Odis, I don't really want to get into the details of this but I can say that after this entire debacle the entire design was brought in house and was done in partnership with his close friend Hoberto Serrano who used to own Hobo until he closed down because he got a 10 year contract with NASA to do special equipment builds due to the incredible workshop he has.
One must remember that this boutique workshops have 1 to 3 specialized CNC 4 axis machines. The output will be much smaller than that of overseas. Does this change the quality between that of a NarDA and a Hadaly, the answer is no, because the machine code is developed USA side with its CNC clamps and then shipped overseas for production. One needs to remember the tolerance levels are minuscule. If we look at the price of the NarDA it is $99 for the RDA - the price of finding one outside of Nar Mods increases because of the difficulty to get one, the question one needs to ask is Nareg making any more money because of the flipper prices, the answer is no! The same applies to Matt that makes the M-Atty, he retails at around $120 yet it flips for $1000. That is just the name of the game. Mac's vision was to release a HE atty that anybody could get, which is very similar to Tom who owns 528 customs.
With the attys that have been mentioned here that might be considered "HE" I can promise you they are not. I am not trying to bash or saying anything negative towards any replies that have been made, I just think that the facts should always be stated correctly.
If you look at the Hadaly, and its brother RDAs you cannot show me one commercial RDA that even matches their design, the reason being is that the production cost for 100,000+ units would be ridiculous. It is just the name of the game at the end of the day and where you want to be placed within the game. An interesting fact, the Goon 24 sold 85,000 units over the years it has been available. Interesting no?
Hope that helps?
