Thank you for the the review on the Dark Horse RDA! We are definitely listening to the pros and CONS more specifically. These notes will be sent over to Steam Angel for improvements to be made! Regarding the accessibility, we TOTALLY understand the frustration a lot of consumers have. Last month's release was the very first batch from Steam Angel. The 2nd batch on the way will consist of 2000 units and we will be receiving regular shipments every 2 weeks moving forward to do our best to keep up with the demand. =) Just a note: The Monster Drip Tip and the adaptors are made of Nylon which has a much higher melting point compared to Delrin. =) Added note: Many people have asked about the materials used. THE DARK HORSE RDA is made of 316 Stainless Steel! =)
I'd suggest the horse logos to be printed at the bottom instead of the ring or (two on the ring like rip suggested). Since the bottom portion never moves would make sense to print them on there. Just my 02. Can't wait to get one.
Just received mine today and love it.Fast shipping ONE day!!! LOL thanks. Wish there was extra o rings especially for the monster drip tip that did not have one.
great RDA but I did have problems with the center post coming loose even after my Vapor shop tried tightening it so they are currently working with the manufacturer to fix the problem in the mean time the loaned me their personal Sig-s which i prefer a little more since the posts are lower to the deck. Shout out to The Vapor Box of Whittier thanks!
I think it's mostly the lighting. If he had a soft box light pointed directly at him (or the device when he goes "down low") it wouldn't be reflecting quite so much of the red. White balance may be a quicker change though.
Thanks, Rip. I was a little overwhelmed when I got this one out of the box because there're so many options. I never would've thought of flipping that ring either. Thanks again.
I have to agree. I got it about a week ago, and have loved it for all the options, but after watching this I see I was only seeing half of them! I never thought about flipping the ring, and that just flat doubled the options I was already excited about! Thanks a ton, Rip!
I just got this RDA & I've got it set up on a SXmini. Your Reveiw was awesome, gave me all the information I needed to start vaping except for install cotton and wires and stuff but thank man !
I love the sigelei 100 watt box mod. I got mine last month. My xmas gift to me. But I really want a good rda now. Ive been using my sig-s and I now have a tugboat v1 and I so wish I wouldve gotten the 2nd version esp bcus u always talk about it now I got it stuck n my head lol. Thanks for another great video!
Rip, thanks for taking the time to make make these videos. My lady HATES when I watch reviews or tutorials on the telly with the chromecast, but I gotta do it if I'm trying something new. Guess what?! She actually ENJOYS your vids! Thanks for makin my life a little bit easier rip. Much appreciated.
Lmmmmaaaooo that sounds like my mom and pops. Pops always watching some political bs and my madre is always pist. Or hes watching metal vids of pantera on youtube further pissi g her off. Thats great to hear. I love being 21 lmaaoo
JoeTalksLeague How is respecting your wife/girlfriend's opinion and not doing what makes them mad or unhappy "whipped." Obviously my definition is different than yours.
Just got this as my first RDA! I love it so far. First built was .7 ohm dual coil. Never built one before but my first according to the vape store guy was pretty darn good. Using on my zna50 right now but eventually want to get a 100 watt device, then build a lower resistance set up. That would be my home vape and my atlantis on the ZNA would be my on the go vape Your video helped me decide on this!
I have the dark horse rda and I absolutely love it! I'm running mine as a dual coil at .4 ohms and it'll throw clouds like nothing I've ever seen before and the flavor is great as well.
Thank you soooo much for this review. The waiting list does suck but it is worth it. To me this is the best RDA out there right now! Get on the list people because you will love this RDA.
I have this rda and it's amazing the amount of airflow options is out of this world still being new to Rda builds I haven't even begun to use it for all the builds possible but for the ones I do know it works excellent :)
In the video he talks about the wait list. Just to give ppl a heads up. Within 12 hours of joining the wait list I was able to place my oeder for the Dark Horse. The shiping was super fast as well. From the time I joined wait list to having it in my hands was 3 days. So as for it's air flow and flavor. I'm going to go with rip on this. It's very nice. I'm enjoying it on a 26g dual 9 wrap at .08. Running it on the IPV2 at 30.1 watts. It's just Fantastic! I love it as much as my Mephisto awsome air flow and that's what I love about it.
RIP..... IDK if i like the red back ground lol i was so use to the white background but like quieting smoking im just gonna have to get use to it. change is good. and about time you upload a new video lol. thanks rip for showing me the way of vapping
Thank you very much Sir for all your videos and reviews, my name is Ziyad from Iraq, and I'm following all your reviews and you helped me to quit smoking but the problem is that we do not have stores for vaping and Ecigs or Mods, we have to send for those devices from outside which coast too much, but we are trying to manage. thanks again Sir
I purchased the dark horse as my first personal rda. A buddy had a plume vale and a nimbus on loan to me with a single 18650 mod (don't know the name). I've got the dark horse on a tesla invader 2. Now out of the 3 set ups I've ran personally do far. This is it. It's better for duel coils then the plume vale, better than the nimbus for single coil. It's harder to run quad coil on this than the plume vale though. If you don't count that as a con given the plume vale is a 4 post, my only con is the single coil mode doesn't have a wide open option like the duel coil does. But the post holes are so large you have no issues running wrapped, parallel, clapton or any other more extravagant build, so a pro there too.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE that center posts are starting to be square, the asmodus was a dream for me because I break and snap posts like British Petroleum (BP).
Designers. Measure the depth of the sidewalls to the deck on the Tugboat and copy that. My Tugs are the most solid RDAs that I can take with me all day cause they don't have a shallow deck, the air holes are placed to where they aren't going to act as a juice drain, and the fat oring is snug so it doesn't have that "cheap feeling" spin.
Great vid Rip. I know you think its a con about the horse logo but I think it works great for letting me know just which mode I'm in. I have a one track mind with very little traffic and I need reminders to eliminate the "Ooops" factor!
Yup same here man. In a perfect world my rda features would be, medium depth well, fat post holes, 2 hole center positive post, Allen head screws, adjustable 510 copper connection so it'll fit a huge variety of mods, adjustable slotted air flow that will work with single coil also, heat sink like tohb or 454, think that's about everything lol
Nice video , Looks like a solid RDA aside from the juice well and leaking , be cool if they figure a solid way to prevent that but anyways for the price it looks nice . I like the color of your back round now ... I am wondering though rip ... What are the best setups right now that are affordable for flavour chase as well as chucking some clouds ... you should do some videos showing full setups , price , why you feel they are best , how long they last , like everything you can cover rather than doing things separate . A lot of people do not know what the best setups are , what they should be paying since they price ranges are so varied etc. They do not know the difference in the builds , type of coil builds , why use 18 gauge , why people use 22 gauge ... please bring some more info to us . I also notice the sigelie update isn't here yet. thanks for the video , great job :)
Thanks Rip, i purchased this Darkhorse and put 4 coils at .28 and with the Mount baker vapor rootbeer with 4 flavor shots was to much on any other atty but with the air open ways open all the way it produces alot of vapor and has full rootbeer flavor you should try this juice in some videos and you'll love the flavor, and jucie is max vg
I just bought a big ass box of old vape stuff for 50 dollars. Apparently money well spent because there is a Limitless gold Rdta, A Dark Horse Rda, A Wismec Theorem Rta, and the Uwell Crown in it. Also some Kangertech mods and various Smok stuff that is in the trash now because none of it worked.
Love this thing but have others stated I to have had the center post spin and the juice well is too shallow. this things fits about any build. ATM I am running jumbo vertical coils off a 11/62 bit 4 wraps at .28 I believe it was. there is a little bit of a leaking issue but all drippers do it at some point.
Mic is still a bit hot (although sounds nice and clear otherwise :)). Try reducing the gain a bit, and test using the loudest part of your spiel. The loudest parts should peak out at about -6dB. Then compress the voice track (in post) at about a 4:1 or 6:1 ratio, fast attack and fast release. Get a gain reduction (using the threshold control) of about -6dB to -8dB at your loudest parts, then bring the track volume up to normal levels (unless your compressor automatically makes up for the gain reduction, in which case just roll with it, using the track fader to correct any overs). After that, you should be golden. Just my 2 cents, but I hope it helps. Vape on! :)
Ripped tripped I don't know if you read these but you are the coolest reviewer I watched I watch every video you put out I try hard to win giveaways but have no luck if by some chance you could send me anything just so I can say I own something that rip tripper sent me personally it would be really appreciated cuz I don't have lots of money but I work hard if you want to call collection but hats off to you brother you are the coolest whether I get anything or not keep making videos and reviews
Rip, You have reduced the reverb issue by 80ish%. Excellent.. Ignore the naysayers on your audio. You will get it better over time. :D Good work brother.
I have a dark horse rda with a 22 daul parrallel build i get some leakage but i strongly suggest the dark horse by far my favorite rda since my plume veil cloud is there flavor is chucking! lol and if you have a fast whicking organic cotton you shouldnt have a problem with the juice overflowing i recently switched to cotton bacon and the amount of flavor and rapid rate that the juice absorbs is crazy plus i can get around 6 to 9 "big" cloud hits with no dry hits and not to mention that my build is .1 ohm
Just picked this up, and I tell you what I love this more than my subtank. It does what rip says chucks the vape and never sacrifices flavor. It's chilling on a 70w ipv mini2. Which is alright but I can't build below a .2 which sucks. Anyways pick this thing up like now
Vaping has saved my life. I was a 3 pack a day smoker of traditional cigarettes. When I would wake up in the morning I could not breathe. I could not walk up stairs without being winded and out of breath. I stayed congested to the point I felt like I had a chronic sinus infection. I kept bronchitis. I had no energy. I was constantly drained. After a month of vaping all of this has been reversed. To the point I feel in my heart it is a miracle. I feel like I am 10 years younger. Before I felt like I was 65 and that is terrible seeing I am thirty. I feel my age. I can smell and taste. I can live. Let me repeat myself again because it is something worth repeating. I CAN LIVE. I can play football with my girlfriends son. I enjoy the outdoors more. The backlash toward to vaping community is very upsetting. This has saved me from a certain death. I understand we are all going to die. I accept that. But now unlike before my quality of life has improved to the point it makes me emotional. I know how cigarettes made me feel. And I know how vaping has made me feel. So let that speak for itself. Let my ability to play catch in the yard do the speaking. Let the circulation coming back to my legs do the speaking. Let my glow do the speaking. Please do not take my glow away from me. I beg you from a man that came from his death bed more or less to be given a second chance. FDA, please do not take my life.
RiP Trippers I hear a bit of hissing sound coming from your audio input. I'm listening from a monitoring headphone. I'm not sure if anyone else will hear it but I heard it with the iPhone headphones as well. Great job on the review Rip!
RiP you should review the Big Buddha By EHPRO it is awesome the best 26650 tank ive used its easy to build its like a Kayfun on steroids and i have personally built mine down to .12 ohms and on my fat snow wolf this thing really chucks it. It is a solid product, super affordable and i think EHPRO really got it right with this one .
I like my Dark Horse. flip over gold ring so horse is upside and rotate so both sides have a small slit on each side for air flow and you get great flavor with decent vapor.
Hey Rip Trippers, do you think you can do a sorta introductory video for people looking into mechanical mods? I have been using a basic vape setup (Evod VV battery with an iClear 30B tank) and am tired of them and want to get into mechanical mods. I have been researching the dangers and how there is no computers holding anything back and things like that. I am very interested for the fact of building your own coils and how you can customize them to the settings you desire.
Awesome review, but I work at a vape store in NH and we have had several Dark Horses in all ready and sold >.> So they're not that hard to find if you go to your vape shop and ask them to get it. Also I vaped off the thing and it is great. So that con is only towards people who are ordering online :D
I have brought a smok alien 220w and I'm waiting for a griffin rdta and so far I've had Clapton coils in my velocity v2 on my smok alien and I love it. So if the Rdta comes I'm gonna be happy
Hey man I love your videos I'm new to vaping I have an authentic king mod and right now I have a TOBH atty I was wondering if u could do a review on the dog rda thanks so much dude I'm definitely suscribing now love your build alright peace✌️
i have the clone and it is exactly the same the only difference is that it has one horse on the side of it and it didnt come with the grub screws but it came with different sleeves black crome copper and gold and it came with both white and black tips
Rip every rda I've received has always been super clean to where I could just vape it, I have a plumeveil, trident, and igo-w with all of them being perfectly clean
@ Jake it is authentic I've cleared the serial number... but the center pin does spin slightly it does have all the air flow options and everything is the way it's supposed to be but I was just stating how far off on price he was but it's prolly cuz when it first début it was that price... still a decent rda tho.. wish the insulator was made of peke instead of plastic tho
