Whilst browsing the @Sir Vape Website I came across a really nice single coil RDA called the Castle RDA By Hotcig. For those of you who don't know, Hotcig are the manufacturers for the very popular RSQ Squonkers and the R150 mods. This company is known to produce some of the nicest gear and this is 22mm RDA is definitely a step in the right direction for them. The Castle RDA does look like it could be the next high rated single coil RDA about to hit the market by storm (Much like the Oumier Wasp Nano RDA)!

I haven't seen any YouTube reviews on it but I did hear from @BigGuy that this RDA is insanely good for flavor! Going by its compact design, you can tell that this RDA was designed for producing excellent flavour rather than massive clouds.

Here are the specs for this little monster:
  • 22mm Diameter
  • Cap in Steel and Cap in Transparent Ultem (included in the package)
  • Single coil RDA
  • Large well for liquid
  • Atomizer by Flavor Chasing
  • Includes Standard Pin and Bottom Feeding Pin
What you get in the box:
  • 1 x Castle RDA
  • 1 x Steel Cap
  • 1 x Cap In matte white Ultem
  • 1 x Standard pins
  • 1 x BF Pin
  • 1 x Spare parts bag

As you can see, this RDA has a really nice dome shape which is an indicator that it will be capable of producing excellent flavour. Hotcig also decided to include an extra Matte White/Transparent Ultem cap for those who prefer ultem. The deck on this RDA kind of reminds me of the Haku Phenom RDA which should make it quite easy to build on.

I don't have one as yet, but I should probably get one very soon :aplastao:

The best part of this RDA is it's PRICE! The guys at @Sir Vape are extremely fast to bring in the newest gear and I believe that they are probably one of the very first vendors, not only in SA, but worldwide to have this in-stock already. It's marked at R395 which is very affordable and well priced considering what you get.

PS: I will add more pics soon
 
I think this is definitely going to be a hit. I placed my order yesterday. I am definitely going to do a comparison between, the Flave,Haku and Hadaly, all single coil RDA's.

This grabbed my attention as well. Looks nice to build on and a 22mm RDA is going to be flavour city.

I asked Craig about it the other day and he said “think wasp flavour, but X5!!”

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:

@Paul33 , I will definitely do a mini review. I squonk 90% off the time, always looking for a good BF atty. Well to be quite honest, I ordered two, I know my luck if it is good there will be no stock for a second order:aaaaa:
 
And the post screws, immediately got my attention. No more stripping of L&Q's
 
@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.

So I know who to bug when there’s no stock left @Petrus o_O

Looking forward to hearing your findings @Petrus
If this has good flavour then at the price its going to be a winner

Please in your feedback can you also tell us how the airflow compares to the others that we may know. For me knowing how tight or loose the airflow is makes a difference.
 
@Petrus Top cap can get a bit warm but then i have a 5 core alien in there and airflow is spot on for me. But let me hear your thoughts.

I believe it will be a massive hit! I've seen only 1 user review on an international forum and according to that forum member, this RDA is excellent.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts on it and how it compares to those 3 RDA's you mention.
 
Here are more pics of how it looks on the mods. I couldn't find much pictures of it online as yet.

Looks like a haku deck just be branded with the smallest of differences...
Very true. Much like the Haku Cruiser and the Poseidon III. If I'm not mistaken, the Poseidon was released first and the Haku was a spin-off according to Jai Haze. I hoping this Castle will be excellent. @Petrus has the perfect trio to compare it to.
 
Not to distract from its flavour potential, looks like a winner . . . but am I the only one who thinks that top cap is visually . .
. unappealing? Eish :notagain::wondering:
 
I really love my hady, but its like a nervous chiwawa sometimes. Just press the bottle a bit too hard and it wets the place.

If this one skuonks better I'm getting one.

The airholes are a lot bigger than a hadaly.... think of a small tap compared to a fire hose .


Just saying :D
 
Despite the funny looks... and to me it looks like an upside down chamber pot... this is nice little RDA... easy to build and wick... I should have tested it with my staple juice Red Pill but I got a parcel from TKO and while the juices are nice they are not really a profile I like... and then I tried the Lime Milk... really nice juice and I know my mate in PTA (one of my converts) will go berserk when he tastes this!

Actually the funny looks of the RDA is actually part of its appeal! :p

I find it hard to differentiate between all these new RDA's and they all seem ok to me... maybe when the new Replay option comes to the DNA75C I will get a new lease on life with RDA's and Squonking...
 
Thx uncle @Rob Fisher was contemplating getting one but I think I'll get the Flave 22mm instead , this one is fugly yoh!
 
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.

The wasp ain't exactly a looker! But a lot of these single coil RDAs offer pretty much the same thing and deliver similar results. I guess one could then buy for aesthetics knowing they're all gonna give great flavour.

I'm still waiting for the next innovation that truly shakes things up, kinda like what the Hadaly did.
