Thank you all for replying, I have to sleep and then tomorrow talk my wife into it 
but I’ll check back here before I make up my mind, some good suggestions so far.

I also say the recurve if we’re only looking at 2018, otherwise the wasp nano is for me still a valuable rda, even tho it’s not made 2018.
The recurve as mention is a squonk rda no doubts, and you need to like restricted dl because that’s what it is. Is it extremely restricted? No but it’s definitely noticeable, which for me is perfect.
I didn’t pick up a drop solo or drop dead, because I really hated the dead rabbit, as well as the drop. Granted it’s dual but can be run single, in all 4 cases it was a over hyped product in my opinion. But lots of people like it.
I’m testing the profile rda currently, but not much I can say as of right now, besides it’s more for mesh then actual single coil, but it got that option for people that want both. I’ll keep you updated if that’s from interest.

I would vote for Dead Rabbit SQ. Does wonders for me (and doesn’t whistle)

@mjag has been putting out the most reviews lately. I can’t remember if he has done all three of those or not.

Do you plan to use round wire or some sort of Clapton/alien/dragon piss wire? If you plan to use round wire I wouldn’t recommend any of those.

If i wrap my own coils they would be twisted or braided at the most lol. I think I have a few aliens left I got for in buddha.

I recently got into RDA’s because of the Wotofo Recurve Squonk Mod and got the Recurve RDA a few days ago.
If you want to get into squonking it is a really nice setup.
I was using the Wasp Nano on it before I got the Recurve RDA but I like the Recurve better.
I cannot say that it’s the best because I haven’t tried everything on the market but for a starter squonk kit it is pretty good.

I would have to go with the recurve hands down no matter what year.
Going back in time I would put the hadaly and wasp nano as a coin toss for which one is better for flavor. That said the wasp airflow can be a little noisy.

I have a HAKU clone, and a wasp nano. Both are great for flavor, I would pick the haku over the wasp tho, it’s basicly a hadaly, really good for flavor testing.

Haku Phenom SXK - just love this with squonking, easy on the battery, smooth air, perfect for me wide open, flavor is Top Notch
Recurve - great for squonking, does spit, than calms down.
Wasp Nano - does whistle, flavor is good, great for squonking after you get use to the whistle.
the Dead Rabbit, DropDead, Drop, Drop Solo, they are … well I just don’t like them, way overated, not for me, but they look pretty sitting in my collection.
Honorable mention to LE Supersonic SXK, good flavor, round wire use, great for squonking, saves battery life.

Same here I vote for the Rabbit SQ
I would also pay attention to new Vapefly baby for a bit tighter pull “PIXIE RDA”

A great single coil RDA and a small one at that is the Dinky RDA. That small chamber it has gives it really good flavor and totally worth trying.

Haku clone from that list but the best single coil RDA out there is the Skyfall clone. I have the Entheon, Hadaly, Recurve, Wasp, and it beats all of them.

Yeah that list is what i’m putting together so I remember what was suggested to me 
I wanna know your favorite.
No one mentioned the nudge, is that one too hot? it looks like a simple deck.

Also as far as clones go what one is best? YFTK and SXK are common, or are some better?

YFTK is the one to get. It’s the best of the clones however the drip tip is horrible compared to the others but not a big deal.

Another thing, with the Haku that was mentioned you want the new one which is the Haku Venna and go with YFTK also. I think the Skyfall is better but both beat the Hadaly and I like them even more than my Entheon with the Hadeon cap. The Wasp Nano is in the rotation though because when you build it right it may be the best.
The cool thing with the Skyfall is that you literally have unlimited airflow options, you can use those 3 dots, however what most people don’t know is that if you turn it more then you have a wide open slot, and when I mean wide open it’s literally double the size of the Wasp’s airflow slot. So adjusting that to where it’s fully open brings a new meaning to wide open airflow to one dot for a tight MTL. The highly overrated Recurve got all the attention and this flew under the Radar.
I know Jai Haze did a video on it so check that out as he breaks it down pretty well, however it’s the over $200 version but the people who made the clones did pretty much a spot on 1:1 except for the perfect machining.

I’m pretty sure I’ve got a Wasp Nano coming my way, so I can take my time, do more research, and maybe plan on getting a couple RDAs over the next months to try out. Unless I fail right off the bat
Now about Jai, and this is not a reflection on you in any way, but I feel several of his reviews are biased enough that I quit watching him except for amusement purposes. ALL the reviewers here on ELR i have much trust in and they go into their review with neutrality, truthful and unbiased. As I feel everyone in this thread is also doing.
And I don’t think all Joyetech devices are fantastic, but I’ve watched Jai smash them just because he does not like the company. Anthony is another reviewer, that because they cannot give a honest review, I have lost my faith in their reviews.
I appreciate all the advice everyone here is giving me. I really appreciate y’all as my family!
Haku has an interesting build deck and airflow, and the notches to position the coil. I remember it.

Jai Haze is running the strongest carny game out of all the youtube personalities out there and I’m not a rube and don’t buy anything he says. I’m just saying you can get an idea how it looks as the one good thing he does is show off the features and you can get an idea of how it operates because at over $200+ through only facebook?. I think he was the only one besides Todd who has a video up of it.
I’ve always been a single coil RTA guy for literally the past 5+ years and besides a velocity and a Sapor back in the day I never had interest in RDA’s and was content with my Taifuns & Serpent Mini’s and the like but I think it was the wasp that totally converted me from tanks to RDA’s and I’ll never ever go back. 22mm single coil RDA’s are where it’s at now, especially with squonking.

Wow, surprisingly I have not tried a lot on your list, of those mentioned the Drop Solo would be my pick. Really the only other one I have on your list is the Recurve. The tight airflow and really only working good as in a squonk setup really drops it down the list for me.
The Drop Solo is good, wouldn’t say great like the original drop but still good. Easy to build and love the airflow. Being 22mm it limits what mods I can put it on and still look good. I am working on getting the review out for it but have to say there are other single coil Rda’s I prefer over it like what I mention below.
I love the Asmodus C4 which I picked up for my own personal use. The airflow could be a little more but the flavor just pops on that RDA. Can’t go wrong with a wasp nano either but looks and build quality wise the C4 in the gold I got blows it away.
I am sure I am missing a few more but that is all that is coming to mind right now.
Thanks to @SmilingOgre for tagging me, very interesting discussion and love to hear what others think…might cost me some money though…lol
