What’s your go-to?

My go to rda is the skill, I think it’s just about perfect tbh, very good flavor and very easy to build on. My second in line is probably the goon 1.5 and then the cheetah v2

I really like the looks of the goon 1.5 and the skill has been getting praise from all over. Thanks for the insight!

Have you tried the Druga? Any comparisons to the Skill? The build deck and post setup are very similar.

Yeah I have both, the druga is good but the skill just vapes better :ok_hand:

Sad part with the Goon 1.5 is that you can’t dial down the airflow without it starting to open up again due to a total design error on 528customs part. Could have easily been avoided with some real beta testing done before production.

Personally I don’t vape it below half airflow anyway it would be far to restrictive.

From a builders perspective, yes there’s an obvious design flaw, most builders though build coils to fit into here for use with almost full airflow whether it’s dual or single coil setup.

The build I’m rocking in mine is a framed staple alien. 28n80 frames, 6ply .3kanthal ribbon Aliened in 40g Maniak Industries nichrome at 0.11 and its Fire with full airflow.

I built a DRUGA on Monday for a friend with the same build I put in the Goon1.5 and I found it just seemed to take forever to get the coils glowing evenly.

I also think those posts are not going to withstand too much abuse, the skill has some seriously chunky posts to compensate for not having solid posts etc.

The druga looks like a slight too much force and the posts are going to bend.

I can get that but for those who really like a restrictive airflow and the ease of building on the Goon, they are in for some difficulties.

Nice Aliens bro, i bet those are nice to vape on :thumbsup:

Those are clean ass coils man. I haven’t nailed down staple aliens or 40g ones yet… a few more tries and I might a pair I’m happy with :disappointed_relieved: I rock almost all my rda’s full open or close to it all the time as well. The power it takes to ramp up some of the larger builds sure makes a hot vape with tight airflow.

As far as the Druga, I can see what you’re talking about with the thin metal on the posts. So far I haven’t had an issue with it and the posts show little sign of wear since I’m mainly using downward pressure with the caps. I tug on the coils pretty hard, trying to work them into position after the caps are on tight, and I think the caps help hold the shape of the posts. The Skill definitely has beefier posts no doubt! I haven’t tried one yet but looking at getting one soon. Its a beauty

Here’s my second attempt at 40g aliens.


Not too bad this time. My spacing was off here and there cause everytime I would breathe I would lose my angle!
3×28g Kan with 40g KD alien, .23 Ω. I managed to clamp both coils under the tiny nubbins of the center grub screws because the Peerless basically leaves no room for cotton if you use those outside post holes. It’s the special edition version I’m testing for review and so far its pissing me off with ridiculously tight o-rings. I tried changing them out with spares but its still tight as hell.

All Kan 3×28g, 36g alien. I haven’t made 36’s in a while. They vape just fine but I like 38g better. Why? I have no idea :laughing:

Been wrapping these .5ohm 2mmID quad wire coils for a few weeks now

Ooh nice! I think that’s something I could actually make! Might have to twist up some wires today.

Well finally figured out how to make same decent fused claptons with the Daedalus (yeah impatience and lack of discipline so I needed the help of that jig)!!! Looking to start doing some smaller gauge 3 or 4 core coils and can’t seem to figure out how to calculate ohm scenarios for such coils on Steam Engine. Any suggestion?
