The Goon RDA Review

The Goon RDA is the product of a collaboration between 528 Customs and a coil builder on Instagram named BlueEyedGoon83.The result of this is a well-made RDA with a slightly different, but awesome build style. This RDA is fast becoming a popular item and for good reason.

The Goon RDA Testing and Performance

I have had this RDA for about a week now and I am loving it. I love the clamp-style build deck. It is so easy to use. I thought it would be more complicated than it was. I was surprised that I could build a dual coil build and fit it in so easy.

I had heard there was a learning curve to it if you were used to velocity or Kennedy-style decks. Well, I think it’s great and so simple that even a new builder could do it. The clamps raise right up to allow your leads to be fitted underneath and tighten down to hold your build in securely.

I have used both single and dual builds in here and both work well. The clamps accommodate thicker wire gauges and twisted wires for making Clapton coils. Plus I like the Phillips-head screws, they the are a perfect size and I had no trouble unscrewing them or tightening (no stripping). Here are the specs for this device and a little bit about how it vapes.

Build Quality and Design

The build quality of this RDA is beautiful. It’s machined perfectly and the threads are smooth. The O-rings keep everything nice and tight-fitting, but not too tight. The barrel and drip tip is easy to remove for dripping juice or tightening coils. I like the etched logo for 528 Customs on the side, it looks very stylish.

Build Deck

The build deck on the Goon RDA is nice and big. I had plenty of room for large builds without any squeezing. Clapton coils fit perfectly in there and it is really easy to build on. If you have just started building coils this deck is a little different than the velocity-style decks but once you’ve done it it is easy-peasy.

Well Capacity

One thing I totally love about this RDA is the deep juice well. I didn’t have to leave my wicks long to wick up the juice, as long as the tails touch the bottom of the well they wick perfectly. Also, I can drip a whole milliliter of juice in it with no leaking or spit back.

Durability/Reliability

As for durability, it is constructed of stainless steel and extremely durable. The barrel and top cap of this unit resist scratching and dents. I have dropped this RDA a time or two while changing to a tank. A 3-foot drop from my desk table and it didn’t show a single mark.

Ease of Use

This dripper is easy to use and easy to build on. All the pieces fit together perfectly with no problems. The adjustable pieces turn smoothly like the airflow control and the removable barrel section sits on top the lower build deck instead of coming down over it.

Vaping Experience

I put a 0.5 dual coil build in this RDA and the clouds and flavor were fantastic. The vapor is dense and thick and the flavor is good.

The airflow control settings work perfectly for me. I like to vape it with one hole closed off, it does have a slight whistle to it, but if I turn it just a hair, it stops. I can live with it, it’s not a dealbreaker for me.

I also like that I can use it in single or dual coil mode. I use dual coils most often but there are sometimes when I’m in a hurry and just throw in a single coil. So I am glad they included that option.

Leaking

There is no leaking at all since the airflow is near the top. The barrel also sits on top the lower deck so there is nowhere for the juice to leak out of. Unless you laid it on its side when it was freshly juiced, it shouldn’t leak at all.

Cloud

The draw on this is smooth and it makes tons of clouds. I think the increased airflow definitely helps to make voluminous clouds of vapor. Also, a tip that I got from another builder was to keep your wicks to the side with this RDA. The unrestricted airflow beneath the coil helps improve flavor and vapor production.

Flavor

The flavor from this dripper is as good as it gets in my opinion. An RDA is known to produce some of the best flavors and this one is no exception. Fruit flavors are crisp and sweet and taste just like drinking a juice box as a kid. Those flavors you remember from childhood.

What We Liked

+ Hybrid-mod compatible
+ Can use Kennedy drip tips
+ Wide-bore Delrin drip tip
+ Nice deep juice well
+ Single and dual coil option
+ Large adjustable air flow holes
+ Can adjust down to a single hole

What We Didn't

- Gold plated clamps bend a little after some use (not necessarily a con)
- Slight whistle with only 2 air holes open ( also not necessarily a con)

Value

This RDA is priced between $50 - $60 through most online retailers. I feel that this is a high-end piece of vape gear and worth spending a little more for such good quality.

Final Verdict

This RDA has been a joy to use. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes RDAs or is thinking about buying one. It’s so easy to build on and the clamps securely hold your coils in place with no issues. Price-wise, $60 may seem a little steep to some but it’s not for something that is made this well and performs as it does.

Candy King Strawberry Watermelon Bubble Gum E-liquid Review

Strawberry and watermelon combined with an old favorite, bubble gum. Three classic flavors in one e-liquid. This review is on the line of flavors from DripMore called Candy King. There are other types of juices in this line as well such as Tropical King, Milk King and Candy King on Salt.

About Candy King

DripMore is the manufacturer of the Candy King line of flavors. Candy King is one designation in this line for all flavors resembling popular candy flavors like bubble gum, sour batch, Swedish fish, and gummy worms. I could not find any history on the company such as where they originated from or their mission statement. I am always curious to know a little about the companies I buy my vape products from. Unfortunately, I did not find the information I was looking for. DripMore does have a website but does not list an "About US" page for any information about the company outside of its products.

My Stand on Candy Flavors

I was a little bit hesitant to review candy flavors due to the issues in vaping and the flavors debate. But these are flavors that appeal to adults as well. I think as long as the manufacturers change the packaging to reflect a more mature look and don't design them to look like candy packages currently on store shelves, it should be alright. As I mentioned before in other reviews I love skittles, Swedish fish and watermelon jolly ranchers and I would vape these flavors as well. As long as we are responsible for packaging that reflects adult consumers there shouldn't be a problem.

My Experience With Strawberry Watermelon Bubble Gum

This flavor comes in a large economy size bottle of 100ml for $24.95 at a 20PG/80VG blend. I am testing this juice on a Lush RDA with a 0.62-ohm atomizer on my T-Priv 220W mod. I always test new flavors on clean cotton so I know I'm getting the true flavor of the juice every time. I have the wattage set to 50W and the flavor and vapor production are both very good. The flavor gets more intense if you turn up the wattage, which is fine be

On the inhale, I get a light strawberry flavor. On the exhale, the watermelon kicks in followed by a very mild bubble gum flavor. The gum flavor at the end is very subtle and brings it all together in a very nice, enjoyable flavor. If you're a fan of strawberry or watermelon gum you will definitely like this one.

The throat hit is very smooth for a 6mg nicotine strength. The strawberry and watermelon flavor are sweet like you’d expect for a candy flavor and the bubble gum is very light. The flavors come together nicely without any one flavor overpowering any of the others. Candy King flavors are available in 0, 3, and 6mg nicotine strength and all are the same 20/80VG formulation. These are mostly for dripping on low resistance RDAs.

Vape Flavor

The flavor is nice and sweet. I could see myself using this as an all day vape. I love watermelon and strawberry so I would definitely buy this flavor again. It is not too sweet, just a nice balance of flavors. I have heard good things about some of the other flavors in the line as well and will be adding them to my list of juices to review.

Vapor Cloud

This formulation is a 20PG/80VG juice and clouds are plentiful. The high VG content produces big, fluffy clouds of sweet tasting vapor. It smells really good as well. Vape this while sitting in the car and you’ll fog up your windows quickly.

What We Liked

+ Nice sweet flavor
+ Good vapor production
+ High VG ratio
+ Economy-sized bottles

What We Didn't

- Nothing really to dislike about this juice

Value

This 100 ml bottle was $24.95 and will last me about a month or so. These large bottles are a great value because you can stock up on them for a low price and have juice for a long, long time. This is a really good value for the money. These big bottles last a good long time, especially for light to average vapers.

Final Verdict

I like this flavor by Candy King and will be checking some of the others very soon. If you like fruit flavors and bubble gum, you’ll love this flavor. It tastes very similar to the flavor of “Hubba Bubba’ bubble gum. It’s a very nice flavor and something you can vape without overdoing it. There is no harshness in the e-liquid at all so there is nothing to irritate your throat with extended vaping.

Charlies Chalk Dust Slam Berry E-liquid Review

Sweet strawberries mixed with vanilla ice cream. That drums up images of trips to the berry patch and making homemade ice cream in the bucket. We have an electric ice cream maker and strawberry is one of my favorite flavors so this should be interesting. This is one of their many flavors and promises to be something special.

About Charlie’s Chalk Dust

I wanted to find out more about the company but wasn’t able to find much online. Their website has a little back story about where the name came from, which is nice and gives a little history of the founder, Charlie, as a kid. The idea of the chalk dust comes from a chalkboard that his father would write their restaurant's daily specials on. The dust would settle on the top of a bell that sat next to it. I would have liked to discover where the company is headquartered, what their mission is, and how they approach making their e-liquids. Unfortunately, I was not able to find any of this on the website or their Facebook page.

My Experience With Slam Berry E-liquid

As a kid, ice cream to me came in buckets with strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate. I have been a fan of strawberry ice cream for a long time so when I read the description for this e-liquid, I was pumped. Many flavors like this claim to have an “ice cream” type flavor, but in truth few actually do.

I really like the design on the bottle. It’s the “black label” series with white lettering. It’s a very nice-looking label and comes in a glass bottle with dropper. I have seen two different designs for this series, one in black bottles with gold and purple. And the other with the clear glass bottles with the white label and artistic imaging on the front. Both are very stylish and eye-catching. I think the black is meant to be more intense and exclusive. I think they designed these bottles to appeal to different types of shoppers and apparently, this works well for both designs.

I got the 15 mil bottle for $13 in 6 mg strength for testing on my RDA. I am testing it on my Reuleaux 200W mod with my Dead Rabbit RDA at 60W. I usually like to test new flavors on my RDA first and then in one of my tanks to see if the flavor changes any with more restricted airflow.

When I open the bottle I get a scent of strawberry and cream. It is light and smells almost like opening a jar of strawberry jam. I put a few drops on my freshly-wicked Dead Rabbit and hit the fire button. Oh, this is really good. It doesn't taste like jam or have that artificial sweetener flavor ( or should say the undertones of artificial sweetener).

Vape Flavor

On the inhale, I get the strawberry flavor followed by a creamy flavor on the exhale. There is no real ice cream flavor I can detect, but it is very good. The flavor is nice and is something I could use as an all-day vape.

I was really hoping this would be more like a real ice cream flavor but it is closer to a strawberry milk or maybe milkshake in my opinion. It is very tasty, and I like it. I was expecting something different and it’s kind of a let-down. But as a flavor, it is really good and if you like strawberry milk you’ll love this one. This flavor is actually very similar to another e-liquid brand but I think the flavor in this one is a little bit better.

Vape Cloud

The formulations for these bottles is 60VG/40PG so it does make some really nice clouds. It is probably more suited for tanks at 40PG but for testing purposes, it works. I got some really nice cloud production and fogged up the room after about 5 good hits with the airflow all the way open. I also used this in my Uforce tank and got some pretty nice vapor from it there as well. The flavor was still good but not as pronounced as it is on the RDA. Still very good on both atomizers for flavor and vapor.

What We Liked

+ Nice sweet flavor of strawberry and cream
+ Not a candy strawberry flavor
+ Good flavor and good vapor production
+ Economy-sized bottles

What We Didn't

-The 60 ml bottle is priced at $19.99 which is a good value for such a big bottle. It is priced in the same range as other premium e-liquids of the same size. I purchased a smaller bottle for testing, but the larger one is a better value.

Value

I don’t mind paying more for e-liquids that really suit me. It is hard to find some flavors that you really like and when you do you should stock up on it.

Final Verdict

Everyone’s taste buds are different so it’s always a good idea to try new flavors, whether you end up liking them or not. Your tastes will change over time and you’ll find more flavors you enjoy. Some vapers often pick up on flavors that others don’t. If you don’t taste a certain flavor come back and try it again later.

Your ability to taste certain flavors is determined by many factors and if you happen to be sick or have a stuffy nose, it can affect your sense of taste. I have had a bit of a cold the past few days so it could be affecting my ability to taste certain flavors. All in all, I like it. It has a good flavor, makes good vapor, and it's priced affordably so If I was in the market for a strawberry milk I would buy this one.

Although it didn’t taste like ice cream to me, I still enjoyed it and will use the rest of the bottle. I may even buy a larger bottle because it is really a good-tasting juice. I definitely recommend it to vapers who like strawberries and cream flavors.

Wotofo Troll V2 RDA Review

Wotofo made the original Troll RDA and it was very popular with DIY’ers. The Troll V2 is the latest addition to this line and promises to be even better. This version has a velocity-style deck, deep juice well and improved airflow options. If you like to build your own coils you’ll love the nice big build deck.

Wotofo Troll V2 Testing and Performance

It’s no secret that I love RDAs. I started preferring RDAs over tanks because I hate the leaking that goes with tanks more often than not. I tested this RDA with a couple different builds and it performs really well.

It has massive airflow holes, which is good for vapor production, but a little too much for me personally. I closed them down about halfway and still, it worked like a dream. Big clouds of vapor and no burning or dry hits.

 

Build quality and design

The Troll V2 RDA is constructed from 304 stainless steel and is 24mm tall by 22mm wide. The airflow control for this device has two options: one is horizontal and the other is slanted. You can change the airflow by turning the top cap in either direction.

It has a velocity-style, two post deck with large holes for leads to accommodate thicker wires as in Clapton and parallel builds.

Build Deck

Rather than having the familiar 3 or 4 post design, it has just two posts on a velocity-style deck. The juice well is very deep so you don’t have to worry about keeping your wicks shorter, there is plenty of room on this deck to build on.

The post holes are large enough to fit thicker wires and the grub screws fit nice and tight. There is an included tool to help you tighten them once you have your build in place. The only downside to this deck is that there is no option for a single coil build.

Well Capacity

The juice well for this RDA is 10mm deep. It holds a lot of juice and is wicks it quite well. I like to keep my wicks a bit long and fill up all the empty space with cotton so I can fill it more and drip less often. I can fit roughly 2 mils of juice on dry cotton this way. It evens out to about 1 ½ mils once the cotton has absorbed the juice for a second or third time.

 

Durability/Reliability

It is very durable but using the black version that I got, it did get a little scraped on the inside from removing and replacing the cap a few ties. The O-rings make for a tight fit and I found that putting a little juice on them before replacing the cap helps make it easier to pull off the next time.

 

Ease of Use

It is very simple to use once you have your build and wicks in place. Just drip the juice onto your cotton until saturated and vape. That is all there is to it. Placing your build is the hardest part of the whole thing.

 

Vaping Experience

I like the vapor production of this RDA. The airflow is a little too wide-open for me, but if you like an airy draw, you’ll love it. Even closed down half-way the clouds were still huge by my standards. I had no issues with it whatsoever. I put in my build, wicked it, juiced it and vaped away. Really easy to use.

 

Leaking

I did not experience any issues with leaking at all. Everything fits together very snugly so there is no leaking around the base. The only leaking that might occur is if there is a lot of juice in the well and you lay it down on its side since the airflow holes are closer to the top.

 

Cloud

Cloud production on the Troll V2 is great. Big, fluffy clouds of vapor with wide-open airflow. I’m not a person with a lot of lung capacity, but if you are you could easily fog up the room. I keep mine open halfway and it still produces a lot of vapor.

 

Flavor

I used a black cherry-flavored e-liquid with this RDA and the flavor was right on point. The deep, richness and sweetness of the black cherry came through very well.

What We Liked

+ Large build deck
+ Deep juice well
+ Easy to build on
+ Wide-bore drip tips

What We Didn't

- I personally think the airflow holes are a little too big, but that is part of what makes it work so well. This won’t be a con for some.

 

Value

This RDA is priced between $16.95 and $20.95, depending on the retailers you shop with. This is a well-performing device for the price and it is definitely a good deal for less than $25.

 

Final Verdict

If you’re a fan of RDAs and velocity-style build decks, I definitely recommend you to get this one. The deck is easy to build on and there is plenty of room for wicking without having to stuff them into the base. And it vapes great like all the best RDAs that have come along so far. And the price is great for such a well-performing device.

VaporFi Catch Ya Latte E-liquid Review

Who doesn’t love a sweet coffee vape in the morning with their blueberry muffin? This flavor from VaporFi is called Catch Ya Latte and includes the flavors of Espresso, caramel, a little hazelnut, and some steamed milk for the perfect blend of sweetness and smooth flavor. If you're a coffee lover this might be just what you need to start your day with a vape. Read on to find out more and to see if it might be something you may like to try.

About VaporFi E-liquids

VaporFi has been producing high-quality vapor products since 2015. They make all their own e-liquids and have several specialty flavors. Their Grand Reserve line debut includes 6 flavors in total and each one is delicious and decadent.Sweet flavors that let you indulge your sweet tooth without the extra calories.

This would be great for anyone who likes drinking coffee in the evening but had to stop due to the caffeine keeping you awake later. This would be a perfect switch for you. You get the flavor of coffee without the caffeine to interfere with your sleep.

My Experience With Catch Ya Latte

This is really a good morning vape when you have time to sit and lounge. I opened up this bottle and sat on my porch for a vape. It was a nice day and I was in no hurry to do anything but taste this juice. This is how I like to start every day. A hot cup of coffee and a nice flavored e-liquid for my morning vape.

I am a big coffee lover so this one was right up my alley and I couldn’t wait to try it out. I have to say that this is one of those flavors that taste better at higher wattages because of the composition of the flavors. I decided since I had so many flavors in my e-liquid that I would keep my coffee plain and simple so as not to "muddle" the flavors of the two. It's very easy to confuse your taste buds with two coffee flavors at the same time.

The caramel flavor is the strongest in terms of taste. The others come in at the end to round things out. But I found that if I turn up the wattage a bit I get a little less caramel and a little more coffee and hazelnut. I liked this version because I could taste more of the other flavors and the caramel wasn’t so pronounced. It is between 70 and 75W that the caramel flavor smooths out and the others blend in for a nice rich swirl of hazelnut and espresso w/steamed milk.

Vape Flavor

The most prominent flavor is caramel at the beginning. On the exhale I’m getting the coffee and steamed milk with a slight hazelnut there at the end. It’s really nice and delicious. The flavors all blend nicely together for a smooth coffee vape that leaves a nice taste in your mouth. It's a very smooth flavor, slightly sweet from the caramel and comes together nicely at the end. Overall , it's very delicious.

Vape Cloud

The vapor production from Catch Ya Latte is pretty good. I choose formulations with a higher VG content since I use RDAs most of the time and at Max VG, the cloud production is really good. The vapor produces is thick and fills up a room pretty quick if you're chain vaping.

I switched over to my Aspire Cleito 120 tank to see how the vapor production is with a tank and it is very similar, slightly less vapor but the same quality and thickness. My atomizer coils were reading at 0.16 ohms  and the wattage was set at 85W. It works well in both tanks and RDAs. It's just a really good vape. You have to try out other settings to see how it affects the flavor. Some e-liquids taste better with more heat (higher wattages) and some flavors completely disappear, so it is important to start out low and increase a little at a time until you find your preferred vape settings.

I like to start out with an RDA first so I get a really good taste of the juice itself and then switch over to a tank and see if the flavor changes any with different settings. A point to remember is to always increase your wattage slowly so as not to burn your coils or your e-liquid because then it will just taste bad.

What We Liked

+ Smooth, rich flavor
+ True to description
+ Good vapor production
+ A great value for the money

What We Didn't

- Not really anything to dislike

Value

The 60 ml bottle size, which is what I have been seeing on many websites that sell this product, is selling for $25.99 and it's a great value for such a big bottle. Premium e-liquids of this size usually go for about the same or just a little more. This is really a nice tasting juice and I would buy it again. It comes in a big bottle in nicotine strengths from 0mg to 18mg. So no matter what type of atomizer you use there is a formulation that will work for you.

Final Verdict

I really like this flavor because it has all the flavors I love in a good coffee blend. The rich espresso, sweet caramel, and creamy milk all come together in a delicious blend that I simply love. For a coffee vape it is spot on for flavor. The flavor fits the description perfectly. I think if you love coffee or just coffee type flavors, this could easily become your new favorite. I would recommend it to coffee lovers and anyone who likes slight sweet, rich flavors in a perfectly combined ratio.
