List Articles

The Passage RDA by HELLVAPE and SuckMyMod (SMM) is easily one of 2019’s finest rebuildable atomizers. From the way it looks to the deck, to the way it vapes – everything is extremely impressive.

Setting up the Passage RDA is a cinch too; the deck is so easy to work with. You slip your coils in, wick it, and you’re basically done. Minimal fussiness is always good when you’re talking about RDAs, and the Passage RDA is this kind of deal.

As for the flavor? Well, it’s breathtakingly good. Up there with the best of the best, in my estimations. The vapor it produces is dense and packed full of notes. Nothing is left out. I’ve been running all kinds of juice from the VapeBeat Store in mine and it has never tasted better.

The Passage RDA is a dripper and a squonker, and it excels in both instances, making it one of the most versatile RDAs on this list. The design is flawless, the side-mounted airflow creates mean flavor, and the airflow itself is damn-near perfect.

Bottom line? If you’re in the market for a new RDA, the Passage RDA should be HIGH on your hit list. And for just $28.95 (with FREE shipping) it is also one of the best value RDAs around right now!

2) GOON 1.5 RDA

The MAC DADDY. The Big Boy. The Big, Swinging Dick.

Everybody loves this RDA, and I am no exception.

It rocks. In every conceivable way – from flavor to how awesome its deck is.

If you’re after a badass dual coil RDA that can squonk with the best of them, the GOON 1.5 RDA is just about as good as it gets.

It got rave reviews on its arrival and since then, the fan base around this RDA just keeps on growing. A masterclass in engineering, machining, and precision flavor production.

The hype is 100% legit. And when you vape it, you will know why.

3) HELLVAPE Rebirth RDA

Mike Vapes and HELLVAPE stormed the RDA market earlier this year with the Rebirth RDA, a dual-coil rebuildable atomizer that packs in tons of flavor and an immense deck. Currently, this RDA is a now a main-fixture inside my weekly rotation.

Why? It looks awesome and it has a brilliant postless deck that can handle coils and builds of any size. It squonks great. The flavor is stunning. And the airflow is one of the best of any RDA on this list. Chuck in a very competitive price tag and you’re looking at one of the best RDA releases of the last 12 months.

If you’re after a simple to use, big-hitting RDA that kicks out a TON of flavor, the Rebirth RDA should be high on your list. I own and recommend it to ALL my friends. And the reason is simple: like the BTFC RDA, it is just wonderful to use on a daily basis.

4) Drop DEAD RDA

I was a pretty big fan of the Dead Rabbit RDA, but for me, the Drop DEAD RDA is a vastly superior RDA.

The airflow is brilliant and, because of the coil placement, you can get pretty adventurous with your builds. It doesn’t seem to spit quite as much as the Dead Rabbit RDA either, which is a good thing.

The flavor is the main event here, though. It’s dense and precise, helped along by the expertly engineered AFC. You can also squonk the pants off this thing and never get a leak.

A truly solid RDA that performs brilliantly across the board. Ideal for new RDA users that want to get into squonking.

5) District F5VE Layercake RDA

District F5VE built the CSMNT RDA, and that dripper needs no introductions, so when the District F5VE Layercake landed, I had to try it out. The District F5VE Layercake RDA is a squat, 24mm RDA that is designed for both squonking and dripping. The deck is a masterpiece too, allowing for all kinds of exotic builds, making the District F5VE Layercake RDA an ideal choice for more experienced vapers.

Constructed from ceramisteel, a mix of ceramic and steel, the District F5VE Layercake RDA is designed to withstand even the most extreme of temperatures. This makes it great for all-day usage and extended high-wattage sessions. The Layercake RDA will rock both single and dual coil builds and its clamp system makes installing coils of all sizes a total breeze.

The AFC is brilliant too, allowing you to really drill-down on airflow without losing any flavor. And speaking of flavor, the District F5VE Layercake RDA is superb in this context; vape juice tastes near-perfect through this thing. Easily on a par with anything released inside 2019, the District F5VE Layercake RDA is one of my all-time favorite new RDAs. A perfect successor tank to the awesome CSMNT RDA.

6) Pulse 24 RDA

The Pulse 24 RDA is kind of old, but it is so damn good in the flavor department, I had to add to this list.

You have room for massive builds and, while you do have to be precise with coil placement, it does rip like an absolute monster once it gets going, leaving nothing on the table with respect to flavor.

A true flavor-chaser’s RDA this one. Sure, it’s not quite as fancy as the Drop DEAD or the DROP but it sure as hell gets the job done in truly spectacular fashion. Bangin’ stuff from Vandy Vape.

7) BONZA RDA

The BONZA RDA was designed by The Vaping Bogan – AKA my favorite YouTube vape reviewer.

The tank itself doesn’t do anything truly unique, but it kicks out a hell of a lot of performance and is great for squonking.

The deck is simple to build on and has plenty of room for seriously major installs. The airflow, again, is very simple and easy to adjust.

The BONZA RDA really comes into its own, however, when you crank the Ohms down nice and low and rip the wattage up nice and high. Do this and you’ll be standing in a dense cloud of vapor in no time at all.

8) BTFC RDA

The BTFC RDA is a brilliant dual-coil squonk RDA that packs in a rather unique airflow system. Basically, you have both top and bottom airflow, hence the name BTFC.

The deck is superb, simple to build on. The design and overall finish of the tank itself are superb. Flawless construction, a simple to use deck, and brilliant, swooshy airflow that is highly customizable, makes for some of the best vaping experiences around right now.

I adore this RDA. After testing it, the BTFC RDA quickly became a mainstay in my rotation of dual-coil squonk RDAs. For flavor, airflow, and simplicity it is REALLY hard to beat this RDA. Utterly awesome stuff across the board, basically. And at just $29.99 – it’s also seriously cheap too!

9) Grimm Green & Ohm Boy GOAT RDA

GOAT stands for the Greatest of All Time, a bold statement to make about an RDA, but that’s the name Grimm Green and Ohm Boy gave this RDA. But does it live up to expectation? I really dig the GOAT RDA but, no, it isn’t the greatest the of all time…

It is VERY good though. And it is also rather unique too. You see it doesn’t run coils in a traditional manner; rather, you buy coil packs that can be installed directly inside the device. All you have to do is wick the GOAT RDA and you’re done.

TwistedMesses and Anarchist coils have built coil installs for the GOAT RDA, so you’ve got plenty of solid options to choose from. The RDA itself hits like a freight train too. The flavor is great and the airflow is smooth and satisfying. Bottom line? The GOAT RDA is a cloud chaser’s dream.

And because of its unique nature, it is also a great option for those that are brand new to RDAs. Installing the pre-made coil arrangements is a cinch, there’s no messing around with leads or screws. Just plop it in, secure it, wick it, and you’re done. Simple, right?

Best BF Squonk RDAs (Single Coil)

1) Recurve RDA

The Recurve RDA doesn’t really need any introductions. It is, perhaps, the most well known, well respected, and most popular single-coil RDA on the planet right now.

And the reason for this is threefold: 1) it looks awesome, 2) it vapes brilliantly, and 3) it kicks out immense flavor, thanks to its unique deck and ever-so-slightly restricted draw.

I love this RDA. I’ve been using it daily for most of 2018 because, well… nothing else really comes anywhere near it in terms of performance and flavor. If you want a single coil RDA, this is the one to go for.

2) PROFILE RDA

My second single coil love affair is also made by Wotofo. It’s called the PROFILE RDA and its party trick is running mesh coils.

Wotofo makes really good mesh coils too. They’re easy to install and wick and once you’ve done this the flavor and vapor comes thick and fast.

Is it better than the RECURVE RDA? Hard to say, they’re both different. I use both interchangeably. I do love how smooth the airflow on the PROFILE is – it is a huge USP for this RDA.

I also like that it can run standard coils too.

I can’t decide which I like best if I’m honest, as both the PROFILE and Recurve are exceptional in their own right, so, as is often the case, this one will come down to personal preference.

Best RDAs – Straight-Up Drippers

1) RECOIL RDA

The RECOIL RDA is the product of Grimm Green, one of the biggest and most viewed vape YouTubers on the planet.

The guy loves rebuildable tanks and mech mods. For this reason, he attempted to create the perfect dripper.

The RECOIL RDA is Mr. Grimm’s second RDA, and it picks up where the first one left off, adding in new features, a more refined deck design, and support for squonking (though the squonk pin does not come with it).

For a dripper, the RECOIL RDA is one hell of a setup. You have a brilliantly implemented deck that can handle massive builds, a nice, large juice well that holds a lot of E Juice, and great airflow.

If you’re a mech user, the RECOIL RDA is a great option as a standalone dripper. The flavor and performance on this thing is brilliant. If you’re after a premium dripper, the RECOIL RDA comes highly recommended.

2) GOON 1.5 RDA

Or, you could go with the biggest and most respected name in the world of rebuildable atomizers: GOON.

The GOON 1.5 RDA is a tour de force of improvements over the original GOOD RDA. You have a domed cap, Cyclops airflow, wider and thicker posts, more clamping space, and also support for a squonk pin.

The GOON 1.5 RDA comes with a squonk pin too (unlike the RECOIL RDA, where you have to buy it separately). But the key thing here is simplicity – simplicity and power.

You can install all kinds of builds in this RDA. The deck is super versatile and once you have something installed properly it rips unlike anything else.

Flawless stuff, basically.

Best RDA For Mech Mods

If you’re a fan of mech mods, you need to ensure you’re using an RDA that is cut out for use on a mech. This means you need a quality deck, skills when it comes to installing coils, and the ability to rock two, large coil heads.

Right now, these RDAs are our #1 picks for use on mechanical mods.

RDA Tanks Explained

If you don’t know what an RDA tank is, allow me to explain…

RDA stands for rebuildable dripping atomizer but these setups are sometimes called “drippers” — especially if you’re down with the kids, as we quite clearly are.

RDA tanks offer unparalleled performance and flavor.

The Wotofo Profile RDA

Rebuildable attys can be fiddly and they don’t hold much E Juice (unless you have a squonk mod) but for sheer cloud output and precision with flavor, it is impossible to beat a solid RDA tank.

This is why RDA tanks are so popular with pro-vapers and those that take vaping very seriously.

The best of the best (for price and performance) are ranked above. These are VapeBeat’s current #1 picks for right now.

Three Reasons You Should Try An RDA Tank:

Better Flavour – If you’re chasing big flavor then an RDA is the way to go, as there really is no comparison when it comes to bright, crisp notes and sharp detail when vaping. For many, this is why RDA tanks are the ONLY option when vaping.
More Clouds – The clouds you can produce with these things, once coupled with a decent mech-mod or box-mod, are INSANE. You know when you go into a vape shop and you can barely see a thing? Yeah, that’s because of RDA tanks and the insane amounts of clouds they kick out.
More Cost-Effective – You don’t have to buy replacement coils, which are bloody expensive if we’re being honest, as you build your own. And while this might sound like a pain in the ass, once you have a couple of builds under your belt you’ll be able to build a new coil with your eyes closed.

My Favorite RDA Tank Right Now?

The EPIC Rebirth RDA – If You Like Big Decks & Big Flavor, This One Takes Some Beating…

For the last few months, my go-to RDA of choice has been the Rebirth RDA. It is positively awesome. It squonks too, if that’s your thang. But the main event is the flavor – the flavor is so, so good.

The Rebirth RDA was created by Mike Vapes and Hellvape. It has one of the most versatile decks I’ve ever seen and can accommodate dual, single or even triple coil builds.

The design is really smart; it looks totally awesome on all my mods and mechs. It’s a 24mm tank and it has a wicked-good airflow system that really lets you drill down into different styles of vaping. The flavor is king here though. And if that’s your thing, the Rebirth RDA is well worth a look.

The dual post design of the deck makes the Rebirth RDA an absolute dream for builders. This atomizer can take pretty much anything you can throw at it – and then some! Installing coils and wicking is a cinch; Mike Vapes has even included a Coily Tool for no extra cost so you can clip your leads to the exact, perfect length every time.

All told, next to the BTFC RDA and Goon 1.5 RDA, the Rebirth RDA is fast becoming one of my all-time favorite drippers.

Best Mesh Coil RDA?

Simple: Wotofo’s Profile RDA.

This thing is 100% badass, and unlike previous mesh coil RDAs, there are no issues with uneven heating and dry hits.

I’ve been using mine for a solid couple of months now and it hasn’t missed a beat. It looks great, is super simple to set up, and, if you prefer, it can run wire coils too.

The flavor is 100% on point and the airflow is smoother than Kenny G covered in baby oil.

The AWESOME Wotofo Profile RDA

I love Wotofo tanks, so I expected it to be good, but the Profile RDA surpassed all my expectations (and it’s priced really well too, over at VaporDNA).

Thoroughly awesome stuff.

Chuck in the ability to squonk and you have one the attys in the business right now!

Best Drippers – What To Look For When Buying One

The Wotofo Recurve RDA (Read VB’s Guide To The Best RSA Tanks For 2018)

When it comes to buying a new RDA, or dripper, there are a few things you’ll want to keep in mind.

The two most important elements of an RDA are the deck and the airflow – if these are both good, you’re usually all sorted.

Price is another big consideration; RDA tanks can be very expensive, however, due to their growing popularity you no longer have to spend hundreds of dollars to get a decent setup.

Most of the RDA tanks I have tested in 2017/18 were all under $60.

And if you want to squonk with them, well, you should definitely check out our dedicated guide to the best RSA (Rebuildable Squonk Atomizers) for a detailed breakdown of what’s hot right now.

It’s also worth checking out our vape mods and vape tanks reviews section on the site – there are tons of product reviews in there.

Below is a selection of some of the top RDA tanks we tested over the years, as always, in no particular order.

Best Rebuildable Dripping Atomizers – In-Depth Look

1) DigiFlavor Drop RDA – Voted Number One By Everybody

The DigiFlavor Drop RDA is beloved by all – reviewers, consumers, YouTubers. Everybody is completely smitten with this RDA.

And who can blame them? It is a phenomenal setup which packs in beautiful aesthetics, a stunning deck, and a solid, easy-to-use drip tip.

The deck is super-easy to build on and the stepped airflow it uses ensures one of the smoothest, whistle-free vapes around right now. It also supports squonking too.

And this makes it one of the greatest RDA tanks around right now. Period.

I freakin’ love this RDA, and you will too – everyone should have the DigiFlavor Drop RDA in their collection. And the cherry on the cake? Simple: the price – it’s ULTRA-affordable and this makes it one of the #1 RDAs around right now. Period.

You Can Pick Up The DigiFlavor DROP RDA via DirectVapor For $25.95 (FREE SHIPPING)

2) Vandy Vape MESH RDA

The Vandy Vape MESH RDA has been making A LOT of friends in the vape space of late.

Partly because it looks awesome, but also because of its rather innovative mesh coil option, whereby you can use mesh for the coil versus traditional wire.

Mesh coils were around back in the day, but they kind of disappeared.

However, the Vandy Vape MESH RDA aims to bring them back – with gusto! For me, it was definitely pretty novel using mesh coils over traditional ones.

A Brilliant RDA That Hits Like A Freight Train – And It’s ONLY $35

And even though I’m something of a traditionalist in this regard, I did really enjoy setting up and using the mesh coils Vandy Vape includes in the box.

You get less spit back, it’s super simple to install, and it produces an INSANE amount of vapor.

If you don’t fancy using the mesh, however, you can set up the Vandy Vape MESH RDA with standard coils of any size, thanks to its decent-sized deck.

The build quality of the Vandy Vape MESH RDA is wicked, everything is premium-grade and it comes apart very easily.

It also vapes like a monster, so if you’re after a big-hitting RDA, the Vandy Vape MESH RDA should be high on your list, as it is one of the top-rated RDA tanks in operation right now.

You Can Pick Up The Vandy Vape MESH RDA via FLAWLESS Vapes For $35

3) HellVape DEAD Rabbit RDA

This RDA is my new daily driver. I read about it, watched videos, then decided: I had to have it in my life, so I went out and bought one.

I got the gun-metal version and I’ve been vaping my face off ever since.

The DEAD Rabbit RDA has been getting TONS of attention of late, thanks to massively positive reviews, a great price, and its truly brilliant airflow and flavour.

I love the way this tank looks, the way it vapes, and I love building on it. Hence its inclusion on our #1 RDA tanks guide!

It can hold a monumental amount of E Juice, when wicked correctly, and it is super-simple to build on. I’m rocking a pair of sizeable, dual-Claptons at the moment, and she’s been vaping like a beauty with crisp, detailed flavor that is about as good as any RDA I have ever used.

Check out my full Dead Rabbit RDA Review for a detailed breakdown. But if you want a spoiler ahead of that, I’ll oblige – this RDA is awesome. Everything you’ve heard about it is true. I love this RDA and it will remain in my vape rotation for a good long while.

You Can Pick Up The DEAD Rabbit RDA via DirectVapor for $35.95 (FREE SHIPPING)

4) Pulse 24 RDA by Vandy Vape

The Pulse 24 RDA is one of the hottest RDAs around right now.

Look anywhere online and all you’ll see is people raving about this RDA.

Flavor, clouds, squonkability – the Pulse 24 RDA has it all. And it is 100% one of the best RDA tanks you buy right now.

If you’re in the market for a well-priced RDA that is super-simple to live with, then the Pulse 24 RDA should be HIGH on your list.

The Pulse 24 RDA is easily one of the best squonk-oriented RDAs on the planet right now.

The juice flow is so precise and not at all heavy-handed which means your coils are always perfectly saturated but never too saturated that they spit and leak.

Vandy Vape hit the nail on the head with this one, so if you’re interested in using it for squonking your best bet is the Vandy Vape Pulse Squonk kit

The PULSE Squonk Kit Retails For JUST $50 @ FLAWLESS Vapes – That’s Exceptional Value For Money

I’ve been using the tank without squonking though and it still kicks A LOT of ass.

This isn’t a pricey RDA either; in fact, it’s really very cheap given some of the competition on this list.

And that, in my book, makes the Pulse 24 RDA a triple threat – and triple threats are rare in the world of RDAs at this price point.

If you want an excellent RDA that kicks out brilliant flavor, that has a great build deck, that is super-simple to live with, looks good, and can squonk better than any other RDA on the planet right now. Get the Pulse 24 RDA! You will not be disappointed.

You Can Pick Up The Pulse 24 RDA on its Own via Direct Vapor For $28.95 (FREE SHIPPING)

5) TERK RDA by VapeAMP

The TERK RDA is pretty pricey, but this RDA is designed for BIG performance and/or competition-level vaping.

The look, feel, and finish of the TERK is sublime. It’s squat, perfectly proportioned, and it has a great deck for building on.

Created by VapeAMP, this RDA is 100% made in the USA. And it is pricey. But it is also one of the best RDA tanks on this list for sheer power.

The TERK RDA features a two-post, clamp and shelf design like the GOON RDA, only here you have Philip screws for easier and quicker installations.

The TERK RDA has very deep juice wells, so this is an RDA you can setup up, juice-up, and leave the house with.

You should get plenty of uptime before a re-drip is required – 20-30+ puffs at a minimum, providing your wicking is on point.

Basically, the TERK RDA is the kind of RDA you buy and then use solidly for six months without even looking at another RDA tank.

It’s that good.

Flavour. Clouds. Easy to live with. Deep juice wells – the TERK RDA does them all. And this is why it is easily one of my favourite RDAs of all time.

You Can Pick Up The TERK RDA by VapeAMP via FLAWLESS Vapes For $72 – Down From $90

6) Wotofo Lush Plus RDA – The Flavor KING!

If flavour’s your thang, then you REALLY need to check out the Wotofo Lush Plus RDA because in this regard it is easily one of the best in the business.

It’s also very cheap now too, as it’s been out awhile. And this makes it one of the best RDA tanks on this list – for everything.

I’ve owned my Wotofo Lush Plus RDA for a good 18 months now, and in that time I have returned to it often.

Why? For flavor.

It is brilliant in this context, maybe one of the greats, and I always use it to test out new E Juice as it gives me the most precise overall view of the E Juice I’m testing.

The airflow is a bit weird on, its tighter than usual, and while this does take a bit of getting used to, it does deliver a very satisfying, ever-so-slightly-resisted vape. Generally, I like a bit of resistance on the draw, so this suits me down to the ground.

As I said: this isn’t a new RDA. Not by a long stretch.

But if you’re a flavor chaser and you don’t already own this tank, well, you sir, are really missing out because the Wotofo Lush Plus RDA is easily one of the best in the business.

You Can Pick Up The Wotofo Lush Plus RDA via HeavensGifts for $32

7) Aethertech Plume Veil RDA – $124.99

This RDA is a BEAST. If you’re looking for one of the best RDA tanks in the business, that’s also extremely popular with vapers, and made right here in the good ol’ US of A, the Plume Veil V2.0 RDA is 100% worth a look.

The Plume Veil RDA V2.0 has a myriad of improvements over the 1.5V of the tank, which include: a complete redesign of the top cap, increase vapor production, a wide bore drip tip, 24K gold plating and longer screws for a better connection.

Basically, if you’re looking for a no-nonsense, potent RDA that is brilliant to work with and vape on, the Plume Veil V2.0 is one of the best RDA tanks in the business – providingyou can actually find one!

Most places are completely sold out!

Though if you can find one, expect to pay around $124 – VaporDNA “might” have new stock soon, so keep tabs on those guys.

8) Recoil Performance RDA by Grimm Green

Grim Green and Ohm Boy joined forces to create this amazing RDA.

The Recoil Performance RDA is a 24mm tank, meaning it’ll sit nicely on top of pretty much anything, and it also features three posts with the added bonus of a split center post with 2.5mm terminals.

Nick had a great time testing the Recoil Performance, so if you’re looking for more detail on this excellent RDA check out his Recoil Performance RDA Review.

Coil positioning is excellent on this bad boy and, because of its size, it will hold pretty much anything you fit inside it.

The overall look, feel and finish of the Recoil Performance RDA is utterly brilliant – it looks and vapes like an absolute champion.

If you’re seriously into you builds and want something that is not only eye-catching but also a performance set-up, then you NEED to check out the Recoil Performance RDA.

It was one of the best RDA tanks we have sampled inside 2016. Bar none…

You Can Pick Up The Recoil Performance RDA From DirectVapor With FREE SHIPPING For $57.95

9) GOON LP RDA by 528 Custom Vapes

I love this RDA so much that I have a picture of it on our Facebook page, and if that doesn’t tell you everything you need to know about this exceptional RDA then nothing will.

The GOON LP RDA by 528 Custom Vapes is a beast. Maybe one of the best RDA tanks of ALL TIME.

The performance this thing kicks out is quite frankly ridiculous.

You have 24 karat gold-plated clamps inside and a dual air slot on the side that delivers air straight to the core for improved performance.

I love the way it looks, it kind of looks like a droid’s head, and the ULTEM High-performance plastic chuff top cap ensures perfect vaping that never gets too hot.

Yes, the GOON LP RDA by 528 Custom Vapes is pricey but once you’ve set this bad boy up and vape on it, you WILL KNOW where all those extra dollars went. Awesome stuff, all round.

10) Cosmonaut RDA by District F5VE

Holy crap on a stick… this is one crazy RDA.

And I mean that in the nicest way possible.

My good buddy has one of these and, a few weeks back, he loaned it to me for the day.

I had high expectations. But this thing surpassed ALL of them. It’s easily one of the best RDA tanks on this list, if not THE best, for both looks, flavour and overall awesomeness.

The Cosmonaut RDA by District F5VE is decked out in 24 karat gold and benefits from a post-less design, which means you can stick some seriously crazy coils in it.

You can literally put anything in the Cosmonaut RDA by District F5VE, as well as dense pack it with cotton, and it’ll vape unlike anything you’ve tried before.

A legend in the making, this one.

You Can Pick Up The Cosmonaut RDA by District F5VE For $64.95 (Click This Link For FREE SHIPPING)

11) Wotofo Troll RDA V2

I could rabbit on about this RDA all day. But I won’t; instead, I’ll just use a snippet from our review to whet your whistle:

“I decided to use the included twisted coils. After putting them into the Troll RDA V2 and making my final adjustments and wicking them, I set them up for .3ohms. I then proceeded to juice the coils up; again, you can be pretty liberal here as the juice well is pretty deep.

After all was said and done, I ramped it up to 80W and took my first vape — it hits like a freight train, giving even my Doge 3 a good run for its money. I took the Troll RDA V2 past my comfort zone just to see what would happened.

The got it up to 175W and it held its own. I took 4 pulls and the Troll RDA V2 got a little warm but not hot. I love the wide open slanted airflow system, as it seems to give my vape a sort of tornado effect versus the left to right airflow slots which give a normal RDA vape. Either way both airflow systems work brilliantly, cooling the vape right down, even at super high wattages.”

You can read the full Wotofo Troll RDA V2 piece in its entirety by clicking through here.

12) Goon RDA by 528 Custom Vapes

If you’re new to RDAs, here’s a little rule you can live by – 528 Custom Vapes make amazing RDAs and if you’re after something with great design, excellent performance, and a beautifully engineered deck, you simply cannot go wrong with anything that wears the Goon name.

528 Custom Vapes’ RDAs are always expertly crafted pieces of kit, and the Goon RDA is no exception – this thing looks like an ornament it’s that pretty. But don’t be fooled by its good looks, the RDA will kick your ass when it’s set up correctly.

Expect flavour that will make dribble and clouds that will fog up your entire house in under 20 minutes. This is a pricey RDA, and there are some pretty decent clones around, but I would ALWAYS recommend you go with the real deal, as nothing else really comes close.

Best DNA 75 Mods Money Can Buy: My #1 Picks For RIGHT NOW

By Drake Equation | April 16 2019

DNA 200 and DNA 250 mods are great, but they’re expensive. DNA 75 mods are a lot cheaper and just as good. These are my faves as of right now (updated 2018)

VapeBeat’s Picks For The Best DNA 75 Mods

#1) Lost Vape Therion DNA75C TC (The Premium Option)

The Lost Vape Therion is essentially the #1 DNA 75 mod you can buy. It looks stunning, vapes like a monster, and it runs dual-18650 batteries for exceptional battery life.

Made from die-cast zinc alloy, the Lost Vape Therion is one of the best looking and most premium-grade vape mods on the planet. I adore mine and I wouldn’t swap it for anything.

It’s ideal for any style of tank, from sub ohm tanks to RDAs, and because of the DNA chip, you will get 100% of the available performance from whatever you’re running on the mod.

A true classic in every sense of the word. This one comes highly recommended.

#2) HCigar Squonker DNA75 TC Box Mod (The Budget Option)

Do you want ALL the power and functionality of a DNA mod, just with the ability to squonk? If so, the HCigar Squonker DNA75 is pretty much just what the doctor ordered.

Not only is this mod exceptionally well priced ($79.95), but it is also a great squonk mod that is 100% regulated. It runs on a single 18650 cell, so you’ll want to run single-cell RDAs on it.

I love the design (there are tons of options as well) and how robust the overall build quality is. This is easily one of the best “low cost” DNA options.

Chuck in support for TC vaping and a myriad of safety features and you’re looking at one of the best value DNA mods on the planet right now.

#3) Jac Vapour SERIES-B DNA 75 Mod (The Portable Option)

>>>Click Here To View My #1 Top Picks Again

If you’re anything like me and you love MTL vaping, the Jac Vapour SERIES-B DNA 75 Mod is one hell of a vape mod.

It’s slim and lightweight and it works great with low-power, single-coil RTAs like the Kayfun V5 and GeekVape AMMIT RTA.

It only runs on a single 18650 cell, but when you’re rocking an MTL vape tank this doesn’t matter.

Running the mod below 20W, as you do with MTL RTAs, ensures you’re getting all-day battery life.

This is the most compact, portable DNA mod on the planet. For its sheer pocketability, nothing else comes even remotely close.

DNA 75 Mods vs. DNA 250 Mods – Less Is Sometimes More…

If you’re after an extremely competent device with market-leading accuracy, state of the art safety features, and don’t mind spending around $100, you’re in the right place.

DNA 75 mods, pound for pound, serve up some of the best performance money can buy.

Yes, they’re not quite as potent as their 200W brethren, but what you lost in power you get back in terms of value for money…

DNA 75 mods are cheaper than DNA 200 and DNA 250 mods.

The DNA 75 mods listed above are the best vape mod options right now, according to our team of expert vapers.

We’ve tried to include a range of products, including a squonk option, an ultra-portable option, and a traditional vape mod option.

This way, whatever you’re looking for, you’re sure to find exactly what you’re looking for.

Why DNA 75 Mods Rock!

They’re Cheaper Than DNA 250 Mods (And Have Same Performance)
97% Power/Temp Control Accuracy
85% More Efficient With Battery Life
Best For Temperature Control Vaping
Premium Build Materials & Design

DNA 75 Mods – Are They For You?

And for most people, 75W is ideal. If you want MORE POWER, check out our guide to the best DNA 250 mods.

Vaping under 100W (or, in this case, around 75W) ensures your mod’s battery lasts longer and you don’t burn through hundreds of ML of E Juice every week.

I rock RDAs most of the time, and even then, I seldom get above 100W.

If you’re using a sub-ohm tank or, better yet, an MTL vape tank, then a DNA 75 mod is JUST what the doctor ordered.

This is how I got into DNA 75 mods in the first place.

The JAC Vapour Series-B DNA 75 Paired With The Kayfun Prime

I started messing around with MTL RTA tanks, found I didn’t need so much power and decided to give DNA 75 a whirl.

It was a great move, as these mods are great to live with and provide brilliant performance.

And with an MTL RTA tank, you’re never running at super-high power, so 75W is MORE than ideal.

Most of the time, I hang out around 40W and this ensures great flavor, decent clouds, and, most importantly, all day battery life.

DNA 75 mods (and DNA mods in general) offer market-leading performance and accuracy.

Vaping at 75W on a DNA 75 mod will feel like A LOT more than 75W on a cheaper, less accurate mod like the SMOK Alien 220W, for instance, and this is basically what you’re paying for when you buy a DNA mod – accuracy (and tons of features).

Why You’d Buy A DNA 75 Mod?

You want something that will last and not crap out after six months.
You demand the highest level of accuracy from your mod.
You want market-leading safety features.
You don’t mind investing in quality hardware.
You want more control over your vaping.

If you’re interested in picking one up, I’ve outlined some of my favorites below (with more detail).

I’ll be adding new units as I test them, so remember to keep checking back!

This is our guide to the best cheap vape kits you can buy in 2018. We’ve included multiple options for your consideration, as there’s always no accounting for taste!

What are your options when it comes to decent, cheap vape kits right now?

As always, a lot of the time you get for what you pay for – so you need to be careful.

And there are A LOT of cheap, crappy vape devices and kits out there.

Fortunately, you came to VapeBeat first.

Good job.

I don’t want you making the same mistakes I did when I first started, so what follows are a selection of really great, cheap vape devices you can get hold of for not much money.

All of the products on this list have been tested by our team of expert vapers, so you can rest assured they’re all great setups that will serve you well over the coming months.

Right. Enough of the preamble, let’s get down to the nitty-gritty.

The # 1 Cheap Vape Device For People Coming Off Cigarettes?

Looking to kick your smoking habit?

Like, right this second?

You’re definitely best off with something like the JUUL, which is fast becoming one of the most popular options around right now – even Dave Chappelle uses one!

The JUUL – AKA Dave Chappelle’s Vape of Choice!

The JUUL is an AIO system (ALL IN ONE).

You buy the kit from JUUL and the refill pods from JUUL also.

And it vapes just like a cigarette. Only it tastes WAY better.

It also vapes beautifully, with a rich, full vapor that really hits the spot.

The company has BIG plans for 2018, as it looks to convert millions of smokers with its simple to use, inexpensive device.

You can pick a JUUL kit up for just $34 – and they come in a range of color options too.

Other Cheap Vape Kits You Can Buy Right Now?

First and foremost, you need to decide what type of vape kit you want.

Do you want a mod and tank?

A pod mod? A pen device?

Not sure? Don’t worry, we’ll quickly outline all of these options below.

Mod & Tank Starter Kit – These are the most popular setups. By far. You get great performance, lots of battery life, a decent amount of settings, and an overall versatile vaping experience.
Pod Mod – These All in One (AIO) kits are getting more and more popular of late. And the reason is that they are so simple – everything you need is inside one device. E Juice comes in pods too, so it’s easy to install with less mess.
Pen Device – Pen devices are popular because they look like and feel closer to cigarettes than mods or pods. However, the vast majority aren’t great, lacking both the battery life and performance of their mod and pod mod counterparts.

Best Cheap Vape Pen and Pod Mods

These are my picks for the best vape pen and pod mod options for 2018.

I own and use every device on this list, so I know you’ll be in good hands whatever device you go for!

When it comes to performance, DNA mods are essentially the benchmark by which ALL other vape mods are judged by.

EVOLV’s DNA chipset is monumentally powerful.

It is also one of the safest chipsets on the planet with hundreds of built-in safety protections and fail-safes.

Beyond this, DNA mods are the #1 options for best in class temperature control vaping. Nothing else comes even remotely close – not even YiHi Mods, though they aren’t too far behind.

DNA mods – notably DNA 200 and DNA 250 ones – are pricey.

They are premium-grade vaping devices designed for the best possible vaping experience.

But once you experience a DNA mod, you will 100% know where all that extra cash went.

Why DNA 250 Mods Rock!

The Best DNA 250 Mods You Can Buy Right Now

There are many DNA 250 mods out there. Most are very good too.

But for me, there are a select few that really stand out from the crowd.

I’ve based the following mod selections (listed below) on the following things:

Design | The mods must look great and be made from premium build materials.
Features & Performance | They must pack in great technology and useful features. No gimmicks, just useful technology
Value For Money | DNA mods are expensive, but a mod should still offer value for money (even when you’re paying three figures for it)

All of these things are important to me as a vaper, so when selecting options for this feature I choose them with the above criteria in mind.

Best DNA Mods – My #1 Picks For 2018

#1) Lost Vape Triade DNA250C 300W Box Mod

The STUNNING Lost Vape Triade DNA Mod

Many people, including myself, think the Lost Vape Triade DNA250C is the best regulated box mod ever created.

The reason for this is threefold:

The mod is brilliantly designed, it’s perfectly ergonomic;
EVOLV’s DNA250C chipset is the best vape chip on the planet right now;
It is perfectly suited for all styles of vaping – from TC to high-power sub ohm tanks and rebuildable atomizers.

It also runs on three 18650 cells and this means battery life is off the charts. Run the Triade DNA250C below 80W and you’re looking at 3 days of battery life from a single charge.

Performance, battery life, power, temperature control. Everything about the Triade DNA250C is exceptional.

#2) Lost Vape Therion DNA166 TC Box Mod

Solid, Sturdy, Robust – Just AWESOME (Image Credit)

The Lost Vape Therion DNA 166 isn’t as powerful as the Triade; it runs EVOLV’s 166 chipset which outputs at a maximum of 166W.

Thing is: for 99.9% of vapers that is more than enough.

If you’re running RDAs, vape tanks, or RTAs, chances are you’re never going to go that high anyway.

Like the Triade, the design here is near-perfect. I’m talking premium build materials, perfect ergonomics, and beautifully simple software menus.

If you’re after a slightly cheaper version of the Triade, and you don’t need ALL of its power, the Lost Vape Therion DNA 166 comes highly recommended.

#3) asMODus Oni 167W DNA250 TC Box Mod

All The Color Options

The asMODus Oni 167W DNA250 is the cheapest option on this list. But DO NOT be put off by its price – this mod is very, very good.

Not only does it come in a variety of eye-catching color options, but it also outputs power up to 167W and is a master when it comes to temperature control vaping.

A traditional box mod through and through, the asMODus Oni 167W DNA250 is an ideal option for anyone that is looking for a sub-$100 DNA mod that packs in plenty of power and design flair.

Such an awesome vape mod!

#4) Lost Vape Paranormal 200W DNA250C Box Mod

The Beautiful Lost Vape Paranormal

You’ve probably noticed that there’s a lot of Lost Vape mods on this list. Well, that’s for good reason. Lost Vape makes some of the best mods on the planet. And the Paranormal is no exception.

Like other mods on this list, the Paranormal uses EVOLV’s DNA166 chipset which means it is limited in potential power-output compared to mods that carry the DNA250C chipset.

Should this bother you? Not in the slightest. I don’t know of any tank that requires more than 120W to function optimally. What you’re getting here is superior craftsmanship, insane power/TC vaping, and robust, reliable performance.

I also adore the way this mod looks.

Trust me, pictures do not do it justice.

#5) Think Vape Finder DNA250C 300W Box Mod

The Think Vape Finder (RED)

The Think Vape Finder DNA250C runs the latest and greatest EVOLV DNA chipset and it also rocks three 18650 batteries.

That means you get INSANE power performance (up to 300W) and outstanding battery life – anywhere from 3-4 days, depending on usage.

The Think Vape Finder DNA250C is available in a range of color options and, like the rest of the DNA mods on this list, it is built in a very solid manner.

The chassis of the Think Vape Finder DNA250C is made from high-quality zinc alloy and it really pops in red and yellow – yellow being my favorite color scheme for this mod.

If you’re after a super-sturdy DNA250C vape mod that looks very unique, the Think Vape Finder DNA250C is pretty hard to beat. Both for looks and performance.

Highly recommended!

What is EVOLV’s DNA 250 Chipset?

Glad you asked. Just as your phone uses a microprocessor to perform tasks, so too does your vape mod.

EVOLV’s DNA chipsets are the most advanced and costly on the market, bringing unparalleled performance and customization options.

You will pay more for mods running on DNA 250 chipsets, but if you’re serious about vaping you will not mind the outlay.

Why? Simple: the DNA 250, via Escribe, gives you unparalleled control over your vaping experience.

If you’re unsure what Escribe is, check out this handy video below which tells you everything you need to know about using the software and what you can do with it.

Make no mistake: Escribe is a massive USP for DNA 200 and DNA 250 mods.

No one else has anything quite like it.

This is why a lot of people, once they’ve gone DNA, never use anything else.

“The DNA 250 is a power regulated digital switch-mode DC-DC converter for personal vaporizers,” said EVOLV.

“It features Evolv’s patented Wattage Control, Temperature Protection, Preheat, Digital User Controls, OLED Screen, Onboard Buttons and Synchronous Rectification for maximum battery life and minimal heat generation. The DNA 250 runs from a 2 or 3 cell lithium polymer battery and features cell-by-cell battery monitoring and integrated balance charger.

“The USB port and Evolv’s EScribe software can be used to customize or monitor the user experience. It is the most advanced personal vaporizer controller ever made. The DNA 250 is vaping down to a science.”

If you want the best in the business, as well as all the latest safety features and the most accurate firing and reading, you need to get yourself a DNA 250 mod.

Can You ACTUALLY Get Decent Vape Gear on Amazon?

By Drake Equation | April 26 2018

Can you ACTUALLY get decent vape gear from Amazon?

Back in the day, yes, you could.

Not anymore, though. Amazon has officially turned its back on vaping.

Not sure long ago, you could buy mods, tanks, RDAs, and everything else in between.

But nowadays? Nothing – you’re basically limited to accessories.

If you’re after hardware, Amazon is definitely not the place to do your shopping.

Not that this should bother you.

In the US, we’re spoilt for choice when it comes to vape shops – both online and on the high street.

If you’re after hardware and tanks and E Juice, check out VapeBeat’s list of trusted vape retailers below:

[wp-compear id=”5464″]

So What Vape Products Can You Buy On Amazon?

As I said: accessories.

And this can be handy, especially if you’re after next-day delivery on things like batteries, chargers, skins for your mods, or things like Cotton Bacon and wire.

I’ve included a selection of some of the gear I regularly buy via Amazon below.

You have all the gear, now’s the time to start organising everything. If you’re building your own coils, these popular items from Amazon will almost certainly come in handy.
