I thought this may be an interesting topic. (Maybe not)
Tell us your single (or more) biggest highlight and single biggest disapointment in terms of vaping hardware and e-liquid that you personally acquired in 2016. This applies to VW Mods, mechanical mods, "semi-mechanical" mods, RDA's, RDTA's, RTA's or factory coiled tanks. Or it can be a particular coil, battery, or any other hardware, like a battery charger. Also, state why this was so for you personally. You don't have to discuss each category, just what springs to mind. Obviously we don't want to be nasty or to be horrible to any vendor, or knock vaping companies, but with dignity and objectivity in mind, I would like to see where this thread goes.
I will kick off with mine:
Highlights:
RTA: The Fuji GTA 25mm RTA by Digiflavor. This single coil tank I found performed amazing in all avenues. It is my "If I were on an island..." tank. I have three and I enjoy everything about these every day I vape.
RDA: The Pharaoh. Loved the size, the tank, build, the concept, the capacity and the juice well. For a single coiled RDA it performs like a duel. The ease of build is fantastic and it delivers a punchy vape. I know not many will agree with me, LOL.
Mods: There were so many fantastic releases. Nothing stands out significantly except for the Noisy Cricket 25 -2. For the price and what you get, it is a reliable well designed semi mech mod. I also highly rate the Snow wolf mini, 75W: a great single battery workhorse.
E-Juice:
Before I jumped over to full-time DIY, my favourite juice was Mr Fogg's Famous Sauce -- "The Milky Way". Actually, jumping ship to DIY was in itself a massive highlight.
Disappointments:
RTA: The Aromamizer Supreme 25mm. This thing was heavily hyped, had the looks, the great write ups and all the bells and whistles to be a superb RTA. But it leaked on me profusely, even at times when I thought the build was right. Sometimes it didn't leak, then other times with exactly the same build and wick, it leaked. A really complicated / difficult RTA. It lies in my cupboard as a collectors item now.
RDA:
The Fishbone RDA. Too much airflow, no airflow control, muted flavour, the copper centre pin turns on every build, and the wire holes are as tiny as pin pricks. Plus I smashed 2 of the glass covers which were very thin.
Mods:
The RX 2/3. Following in the awesome reputation of its predecessor, I thought this will be a winner. I had endless "No atomiser" readings with different tanks on, The TC did not work. The Wattage output on the screen would not always reach its maximum, or it would fluctuate. The battery door does not sit flush, I struggled to get my personalised logo on the firmware update, and, and, and. I still use it, but a super disappointment.
E-Juice:
LiQua Turkish tobacco. The smell still haunts me today as it lingers in some of my older attys or used Melo Coils.
