Castle RDA by Hotcig (Next #1 Single Coil RDA?)

Just from an aesthetic point of view I don't think this will lure me away from my WASP and Tobinio. However good it may be I would not be able to look at and live with it.

How does one het hold of just the Tobinho ? See locally only sell them with the Wismec BF mod ?
 
For fear of a public flogging I quite like the look of it.

It’s different which is cool 8--)
 
Such a great looking mod. Not convinced on the looks of the castle, but I have a feeling it would look great on top of the aluminium coppervape squonk. Although it might be too shiny?

If it produces flavour, and is easy to build, and doesnt break the bank, then do looks matter that much?

Agree.

If it looks stupid but it works, it's not stupid.
 
Hi Guys.

As promised my thoughts on The Castle Rda:
First off it kinda remind me of that little salt and pepper thingies my grandparents used in their kitchen. So for looks 4/10

Wire and wick: I used a 0.20ohm fused clapton, for those 12mg nicotine to do their work @Silver @Andre . It was a walk in the park to do the coiling and wicking . The post screws is so so lekker to work with. My 3mm coil fits very comfortable .So for this 10/10

Flavour :Spot on. No more comment, airflow etc. Very very good 10/10
Squonking pin: The squonking pin is fitted , I like it no fiddling and from the start it sits flush on my mod. It drains perfectly. So for this 10/10

Price :A steal 10/10

So except for the looks for those who can't afford authentic atty's like the Hadaly ,Flave 22, Haku don't waste your time, hit the stores.

Will I sell my backup ? Nope.

So except for the looks, this is one of my best RDA's U bought this year.

Happy vaping guys. DSC_1288.JPG DSC_1289.JPG DSC_1290.JPG DSC_1291.JPG

Oh damn look at that bottle of Select Reserve :h:
 
Personally I like the off the cuff approach to the looks of this RDA. It's different, which makes it innovative and unique. A bold statement in a world where every single next best thing resembles the hadaly but a little bit different. I also think that this RDA would look the part on a more rounded mod instead of a square-ish one... For instance on a Limelight freehand vs a bolt
 
Keen to know your thoughts @Petrus.

Was looking at a hadaly but I had to decide which child to sell to get one. This looks on point for the price :clap:

Sell the middle one... It sets a good example for the others and they're the most troublesome ones anyway
 
@Petrus
Thanks for offering a mini review.
I have two RDA's that have misaligned airflow similar to the castle and in both cases the flavour was lacking. Also do not like the insulated post that has the gaps for juice to get stuck and another route for airflow to travel which could lead to a feeling of unbalanced flow. On the upside this could lead to a topcap not heating up that quick.
Hope i am wrong but very very happy that i bought the Nudge instead of this.

How's the Nudge treating you thus far? I've ordered one purely for the standard 810 on a 22mm RDA but subsequently heard great things about the little bugger
 
I built this with the coil included in the package, and I have to say that I'm getting absolutely outstanding flavour from it. I even found that with the right drip tip, it can look pretty decent.

I know this is gonna probably land me in another thread but @Crockett that is some beautiful looking wood.

What Mod is that @Crockett ?
 
At the recommendation of @ET, my parcel of expensive AIO Ecos got supplemented with the Castle RDA.

Coiled it with 6 wraps of SS fused Clapton wire on a 3mm mandrel, which gave me 0.33 ohms. Wicked with Jellyfish cotton - no cotton taste at all - winner. Adjusted the air slots to an airy MTL. Great flavour and throat hit, very smooth air flow. I like it, the looks too.

Don't you just love their one card user manual:D! Front and back pictured below.

I think it actually looks pretty nice. just dont like that drip tip design. Looks uncomfortable...

Looks pretty good on that mod actually, which means it also might work on the aluminium coppervape bf im getting tomorrow!

Grabbed one today finally.

Chucked in a bubble wrap fused clapton and after adding a wrap it settled on 0.42ohm. Firing nicely at 26w with some good flavour.
