My Auber is still plugging right along. I switched to a flat coil with the Infiniti nail. Its been rock solid and since I got a carb cap that doesnt touch the coil, I dont see the crazy temperature swings anymore. I see maybe a 3-4 temp drop on a pull and it comes right back immediately.
I ended up getting the HE UniTi carb cap and thats been awesome. It doesnt touch the coil whatsoever.

Well. Ordered Tues morning, and... she's here. Thursday night...pretty awesome. Anyhow, I tore that sucker open like a kid on Christmas. I didn't change any settings, other then check to make sure it was configured for a flat coil, which it was.
Freshly cleaned fritted bubbler, with cleaned drop down.
Fought with the wires for a little while, finding a place that it can fit with all of my other stuff. Surprised no one has commented on the cord length. Its rather short, and it coming out the front of the box makes it a little awkward to place. No big deal, just surprised it's so short.
Put nail together, everything fits tight and straight. Screwed the coil on, popped it on the joint fired 'er up to 710. Took about 4 mins. Medium sized dab of Cherry Puff shatter. Too hot. Instantly vaped the whole dab, cap did nothing. Still, not too bad tasting.
Oh yeah, the cap. My HE cap fits like a glove. Doesn't touch the coil, and I love, love, love the sideways dabber.
Turned her down to 680. Medium dab of Grape Ape shatter. Delicious. Totally vaped dab, milked up when capped. Pretty awesome taste, and I'm starting to get pretty baked. How low can you go??
660. This is the sweet spot for me I believe. Medium sized dab of Banana hash plant shatter. Whispy vapor as the dab melted slowly and evenly across the entire surface of the nail. Hit the cap, and Poof. White walled the can. Pretty awesome, no pooling at all. Awesome dabs. Really baked.
So, I came here and wrote this.
Here's a pic.
TLDR: Buy this, it's awesome.

Great read. I felt like I was experiencing your eager anticipation also.
So much fun to play with our new toys isn't it?

I really like their nail. I wish it didnt bake crud onto the glass. Thats the only reason I quit using it.
I bought a reclaim adapter for like $25.00, Im hoping that makes reclaiming easier. Its been a chore with the dropdown.

I have to say, I hadnt tried any dabs down at 660 but after reading your post, I decided to give it a go. Thats the ticket. You sir, have changed my life.

FWIW: Some talk on Massdrop about getting the Auber RDK200 up for a vote. The Shatterbox vote has comments on the page saying that Shatterbox people never responded to Massdrop , so they reached out to Auber and they are down with a Massdrop.

I think youd need to use the universal nail they sell with the flat coil. Its a knock off of the Infiniti but I dont have one to say what the quality is like. I have their female nail with the 15mm coil and thats a nice nail. It just leaves crud on the joint and Im sure its a chinese nail so I was a little concerned about the source of the titanium.

Must resist the urge to start doing dabs at 1pm. 
Picked up a new rig on clearance at 7th floor's shop here in town. Also picked up a new drop down, 18mm Female. Going to try the universal nail that comes with it in male configuration later. Pics to come.
After one day of use, I don't have a problem with the included universal nail. Tastes fine, no funny color or smells. Will report back after a couple dozen grams been through it.
Ordered the hive ceramic enail with cap. Will show up sometime next week. I have always dabbed on TI. HE and Sillika TI to be precise. Looking forward to trying this.
@PoopMachine If you have the female version of the nail, and you are capping, that is why your join is getting all gunky. Those domeless nails with the holes around the outside of the cup like that aren't meant for a cap. Capping creates a vaccum and pushes the oil on the nail to the outside edges, and with that style nail, right down the holes.

We were using that nail without a cap. We are using the Infiniti nail now.

So my whole setup came in today which was nice. I'm loving the options and am so medicated right now I can't tell what I like better. The banger produces massives clouds but the ceramic with the dabcap is pretty awesome too. The lowtemptop carb cap works perfectly with the banger. I was dabbing at 650° which has been flavor town, I then called domeless.com cuwtoimer servuce about how to fit my flat coil to the universals ceramic cap(which was easy) and then dabbed and talked to this guy for 40 min about his product and where he plans to take it and the future of dabbing. Really cool guy and highly reccomend him! Any ideas where the ideal temp is for ceramic?
Here's my setup.

What did you have to do to get it to fit?
theres two different ceramic enails on domeless.com, one for flat coil and the others for 16mm or 20mm.

You sir, need a dropdown or a reclaim collector. I was using a dropdown from Green Buddah but I got a reclaim collector from a random place I found online, Flight Inspired. They had one at a good price and it seems pretty well made. Shipping was quick as well. From Colorado to the east coat in 3 days.

Last night while looking at my coil and nail I could see a very slight cupping of the coil. It was not touching the nail in the best possible way. This morning flipped the coil over and it fits much better to top part of the nail. I had to turn my temps down a little too as its more efficient. Just a reminder to check your coil and make sure its on as best it can be.
Also Power cord is 3 feet long or should I say 3 feet short lol. Can't remember if I commented on that. The cord for the coil is about 5 feet long.

How is the reclaim collector working for you?
I've been surprised at the amount of reclaim condensing on my carb cap. It happens on both the Ti and the glass one. I like the glass because it doesn't drop the temperature as much. How do I store the carb caps and what can I do to catch any of the reclaim?

I'd kill for a 3ft long/short power cord. If it stretches itself, my power cord MIGHT by 24 inches(including the tip plug).
There definitely is a difference in the way the coil fits as noted by @Dr200 post above. I am using the flat coil and universal nail setup with the RDK200. Flipping the coil over is what led me to change the temp coefficient back to default settings of 1.00.

Too early to tell. I just got it a few days ago. I do see a lot of vapor gather down there with each dab and its getting a little hue to it.. the rest of the piece is staying relatively clean.
I had good luck with a dropdown but reclaiming out of a dropdown is a PITA. Heating the glass, turning it, burning your fingers, not awesome. A dropdown with a reclaim jar would be the bomb. You could just torch it and let everything run into the bottom.

Alright, well, I've had the weekend to play with this beautiful tool. I love it. The universal nail in male configuration is working beautifully, and starting a nice pile of reclaim in my dropdown.
I've always used smaller pieces to dab out of. My daily up until recently was a 5" simple small 14mm male 5 hole UFO style perc, with a HE Dualti. I wanted something a little bigger. I find it so hard to buy glass online. I've tried multiple times, I just think it's quite difficult to purchase something like that without holding it in your hand, and pulling on it. Anyhow, on Friday I went on a local hunt, for some new glass for this bad boy.
7th Floor's local shop, 12" bent neck, honeycomb to UFO showerhead. Normally wouldn't consider something so large, but the price was right. Slightly off center neck on this piece, and a small scratch on the base. Got 'em to toss in the dropdown, and for $75, I was out the door. Score. I normally dislike logos on glass, but the honey bee Colorado flag is gunna stay on this one.
I've been getting more medicated these past few days then usual. I don't know if it's just the new toy syndrome, or if there is something more here. I love that I can take 1/3 of the size dab that I normally do, and this thing just milks like no other. Huge exhales, using a lot less shatter. I'm sure it's because of the Auber holding the temp perfectly. Why didn't I buy one of these 6 months ago again??
I've ran about 1.5 grams of shatter through this baby, just cleaned it actually, was kinda gunky after a lot of use this weekend. 10 min PBW soak, and was a shiny as new. The universal nail is seasoned nicely, and had no problem being removed and having the parts tightened. No sticky on the nail at all.
Awkward as hell trying to record yourself dabbing, but I recorded this to show the milkshot. Love how you can see the second the cap goes on, it just white walls. And as I said, this dab is about 1/3 of my normal torch dabs.
This unit seems very solid so far. There are a lot of other affordable options popping up daily it seems like. I recommend this to anyone trying to get their foot in the door on a low cost e-nail. Time will tell how the coil holds up. But for now, I couldn't be happier.

I have 3 coils for my unit and it gets daily use. Im using the flat coil right now but so far I havent had as much as a hiccup out of my unit and I believe I was the first one here to get one. We originally started out with the temperature at 700 degrees so Mrs P refers to a sessions as "Going to the 700 Club."
Somehow I dont think thats what Pat had in mind.

That's my kind of 700 club!
Might be Pat's kind too, in 2012 he was pro weed legalization, and now he is anti. Dude is totally blazed.
