Only other similar rdas are the hadaly and the O atty

I hear the hadaly is the easier one for building.

I myself find the narDA a breeze to build. It does not need anything fancy. wrap the coil with the legs going opposite directions, place diagonally between the screws, pull the leads around the screw and tighten. It vapes great with the diagonal coil. I do like to gently lower the coil little lower once then you can get it with the drill bit in the coil. Just enough to see the bottom of the coil through the air holes.

But one of my all time favorites is the Veritas and I find it easy to build. But most do not.

I stayed away from 22mm atties for a long time because flavor was usually an afterthought in their design, but I just picked up a hadaly on a recommendation and I'm blown away at the flavor it produces.
Building on the hadaly deck is a dream as well; It's by far the easiest deck I've ever seen, although I'm not too familiar with a lot of the new designs.
I'm running it on a cheap-o drip box and haven't had any leaking issues, the hole in the BF pin included with the hadaly is quite large and I've had no issues with squonking 90% VG, it drains really well since the pin sits flush with the deck, and overall I'm blown away for the first time in a long time with a new piece of gear.

what about the M atty? I'm also looking for clones btw..say what you want but if I like an atty well enough I buy an authentic.

Just bought a O atty clone, now to wait for 2 weeks sigh

I haven't used one but it is a highly regarded rda. It is also one that you almost have to buy the clone. I believe its very difficult\expensive to buy

Be easy with the O atty when tightening. The screws are skinny and there have been report of the screw head breaking off. Catfish Atty Mods redrilled and tapped a batch for bigger screws.

    I love the narda clone I have but I hate the deck. It is a pain in the .... Is there something with similar airflow, flavor as rich but with a better deck?

    Must have a bf pin available for purchase as well...Anyone?

    The O-Atty has a Very Similar hit as the NarDa but with a tad more available Air Flow. It also comes BF Ready.

    $10.40 Odis Atty Styled RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - 316 stainless steel / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

    I'm not Crazy about the coil Bar Clamps that are on it. I find them kinda Awkward. And as Tagi mentioned, the Screws are VERY Small and could Snap Off Relatively Easily.

    But some people Like them. Especially if you use Thick Multi-Wire coils.

    BTW - On the NarDa. I find if you take the Negative Screw out of the Deck when you go to mount a Coil that it makes things much Easier.

    I definitely prefer the Hadaly over the NarDA for the reason you mentioned: it's easier to build on. The NarDA isn't hard to build on per se but for me it's annoying. The Hadaly is also $30 cheaper and can be bought any time. There hasn't been a batch of full NarDAs released in months and who knows when another batch will be released. Nareg seems to be focused on releasing NarTAs.

    I also find the flavor from the Hadaly to equal the NarDA so it's an easy decision in my mind.

    Have an authentic Hadaly and loving it: great flavor and decent clouds really rivals my Stumpy's. Curious about this Hadaly clone from FT. Anyone have actual pics of FT SXK Hadaly Clone? Reviews say it is engraved with Hadaly sig., but FT pics doesn't show this.

    I've had my FT SXK Clone for a few days. Getting good flavor and it's more open than the NarDa but I'm just not blown away with it, just put one build in it though. I may have positioned it to low but I thought that's the way it needed to be with the lower air holes, I'll have to experiment more.

    It does have the Hadaly sig, both bottom and top cap. I made some pics but my phone camera is horrible with close ups. Should be able to see what your looking for though.
