Any love for 'old school RDAs"?

I say 'old school' tongue-in-cheek, but definitely pre-dating the current RDA's we have with massive juice wells and build decks that can accomodate a Clapton coil the size of a bass guitar string.

I picked up a Tobh that was on clearance a while back and finally got around to using it and, damn! It's one of my favorite drippers atm. Good flavor, chucks the clouds and the thing is quiet as all hell. Its far from a Tsunami or Kennedy that sounds like I just rolled the windows down in my car at 80mph, lol.

I have a Marquis that's still my favorite rda...I have an old school patriot , a plume veil 1.5 and a CEO as well and, just recently purchased a Magma to replace the one I sold a while back...Im finding older vape gear to be like cars were back in the day...They are just built solid and perform well..Today I see the new stuff like new cars..made as cheap as possible and just trying to stay up with a "Trend" to get as big a piece of the pie as possible...Old school rocks

Not sure how old is old school, but i still have my old magma, Patriot and tobh along with several others that have stood out along the way.

The tobh and Patriots were my game changers! They took me from using a kayfun at 10w to running dual coils at 30-50w

The tobh is basically the predecessor to almost every side airflow RDA out there.

If you like the flavor from the tobh, try getting yourself a magma.

There isn't anything wrong with older RDAs. A standard build on a Tugboat still to this day (@Hank F. Spankman , @HvyMtl) gives the newer CSMNT, NarDA, Hadaly, and Petri RDAs a run for the money.



You are right tho, newer RDAs accommodate thicker builds easily and have innovated the ease to build on; bigger decks (24s, 25s), bigger post holes, and different clamp systems makes installing coils easier than say a 3 post but as far as the flavor department; nothing mind blowing. I don't know if it's experience or common sense but I can still build one hell of a flavor build on a 3 post RDA. Coil position and wick is where it's at. You can make any RDA good, just have to build it right, play with it, trying different things.

Tugboat v2 is still top of my list. If you have to have big ass builds to get a decent vape off an atty, that atty ain't worth having in my book
