Ok, so apparently I'm not allergic to all the fruit liquids. BG, Strawnilla and BC are fine, yay! So my cheesecake dreams are back. I saw Clark suggest the toppings should be drizzled onto the cheesecake so it seems dripping is the way to go. I have a Reo with rm2 I could use. Eventually I will have a 100w box mod as well. What's an easy dripper to build for a noob? Would the magna (magnum?) be ok? Other suggestions?

Never used a Magma but word from all that have is it is amazing...BUT, think of the cheesecake like this: Fill your Reo bottle with cheesecake and squonk then add a few drops of the fruit into your RM2 and there you go. :thumb:

I thought of that, but then it was suggested I would over saturate the wick?

I've been vaping the magma for a while now and while a single coil is a breeze and the flavor is great there are 2 downsides to note. 1 - it will leak constantly through the air holes unless you put a laser leveler on it and never tilt it more than 2 degrees from vertical. 2- (this may just be me) I have the hardest time building dual coils, I mean old school playing Nintendo wanting to throw it across the room cause I keep dying at the last level anger. It's a dual post so all 4 wires go into only 2 holes. So I only put in a single coil, usually 24 gauge or parallel 28 gauge.

It is an awesome atty.... but I also just bought the veritas because the leaking got to be too much for me.

Veritas is another people are raving about...like game changing good.

I was looking at the veritas...looked dual coil? Not ready yet for dual builds. A good single coil would be better for me at this time.

I personally like the Atomic as you can run one coil and block the air intake for the side without a coil with the cap. The AFC is wonderful!

All good suggestions so far, but for a noob I would recommend the igo-w. While it doesn't have afc and is not the most stylish, it is very easy to build on. Enlarge one air hole and tape off the other and it's set for single coil builds.

You can also buy after market caps for the W, some have AFC options.

Ive been loving the Magma. I havent had any serious leaking issues through the air holes but I also dont fill it up all the way. I only fill about half of the chamber and that will last me a few hours

Just to muddy the waters more, I'll throw the Odin RDA out there. Great price, can run single or double coil and has airflow options for both. The juice well is massive compared to many others I looked at, so in the case of over juicing, you are less likely to have spillage.

I picked it up just recently on the recommendation of a veteran of the ECF and it's looking like a solid choice.

I received my Magma last week and I love it. Yes, it does leak if you fill the chamber to the brim, but I only fill about half full and that lasts me for about an hour, but I don't chain vape either. It's easy to build on and accepts either single or dual coils. Right now, I'm running mine with dual twisted 28 gauge. The holes are plenty big enought to accomodate that build.

I'm looking at the Veritas as well, I might be buying that here soon. It doesn't have to be built with dual coils. In fact, RipTrippers posted a video where he built it with a single horizontal coil.

There is also the Plume Veil and the 454 Big Block that you could look at.

(For me) I would keep it simple and continue to use my RM2. Cheesecake in the bottle, squonk, drip one of the toppings from above, and vape. Would some of the topping end up in the bottle? Yes, but I wouldn't care. :)


Do this all the time in my lp grand with Naki' mix. Another rm2 or igo-l is also an option and can serve as a back up.


The Veritas is a fantastic atty but it can be a challenge to build on for some people.

Good point - op states that she is a noob in the first post.
