I just got into the rebuildable scene and I'm looking for a good or at least decent rba/rda from fasttech. So far, the best ones I've seen are the IGO-L clone $7.67 IGO-L Rebuildable Stainless Steel Dripping Atomizer - double heating wires / 1.6 and the cobra clone $7.46 Cobra Electronic Cigarette Round Mouth Atomizer - w/ hex wrench at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping . Can anyone give me suggestions or experiences with their rba's/rda's from Fasttech?

I have tried a few of the RDA's and my two favorite's are:

and
https://www.fasttech.com/products/1345903
The V5 is great. Used it for a while with no modifications, recently drilled out and added a second air hole for duel coils and it awesome. I use it at around 1 ohm with duel coils. Even with no modifications I liked this one a lot.
I just got the M5 a day or two ago but so far it works well. It is small so not a lot of room to work and with no holes in the posts it is a little tricky to set up. got it working now at about 1.4 ohms and it's nice, probably going to drill out the hole just a bit if I can find a drill bit that is small enough.
The nibus2 and the ones they had for that were made to match the K100's are bad, I would stay away from those. I also have the cyclone clone but it has been sitting in the cabinet waiting to be set up but looks like it could be another winner.
Haven't tried any of their RBA's, I really like my aga-t2 and just want to upgrade to a nicer model of RBA, but I hear good things about the cobra.

the yk1 is awesome with a slightly larger airhole, the original v5 and the m4 pheonix are my top 3 right now. all of them have 1.2mm holes now and work great. i prefer these to the other 7-8 i got lol with the little yk1 being tops for vapor production.
any day now i will have the trident clone they just started posting.
so far im finding several of them arent well thought out as far as airhole placement goes with many being too high.
I do like that almost all their atty's come with smaller airholes giving you room to expand to your liking,

def drill it out mine worked much better with more airflow.

I was wondering this the other day when I was on Fasttech, thanks for posting this. I will now reap all the responses 
I was looking at the v5 and it seems to have alot of good reviews on FT. I might choose that one. Hows the vapor production on it? Im mainly looking for a rebuildable to get huge clouds.
the v5 is roomy about the size of an igo l inside, i have mine set up single coil and it works well. built very nice and looks sharp on a mod. set up just right it puts out some clouds, then you can drill a second hole and go dual wick and im sure it will pound out some clouds then.
but that little cyclone copy drilled out a bit is amazing to me. im blown away by this little guyset up with ribbon on 3mm @1ohm on my mech and wow.
heck for the price of one dripper somewhere else i say get a couple.

lol i mean get a couple different FT clones. be maybe 15 bucks for 3 lol
i drill all mine to 1.2 mm as i like a little bit of resistance.

It's funny, I haven't used it in a while and this thread made me go grab it and drip some juice on it 
I think it's great. I like 50/50 blends so that helps with the vapor, and a bit bigger air hole helps too. I don't do the whole "fill the room" kinda cloud thing but this one does a great job. Vapor to me comes from a lot of variables but I think this RDA is a good start.
And I agree with Thrasher. For the price you could buy a couple and go from there.

That igo-L clone looks nice, I have a V5, the one with the 3 air holes in a row and I actually really like it for my micro coils which tend to be on the long side. I also have the cobra clone, the bigger one that's SS and while it works, it's my least favorite genny, the wick hole is tiny and the hex screws are really hard to get a wire held down under, unless you wrap the wire around it which is also a pain.
Stock air holes are not a problem for me since i can drill them out. But from what i gathered the V5 and Igo-l are up there in the top rda's at FT. Also want to maybe try out the Trident and Helio clones. They look nicely made imo and im pretty sure they're made by the same manufacturers.
You guys should check this one out $35.22 Ithaka Adjustable Rebuildable Atomizer (4.0mL) at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Probably the most expensive atomizer on fasttech i came across.

I've been using the z atty universal RBA on my provari for several months now, with no desire to switch back to the other tanks, vivi's, etc. Until I dropped my mod the other day and shattered the z-atty glass tank... anyway while ordering replacement parts I decided to grab this atty called the Kanger ProTank. it's a bottom coil atty. HOLY ....! this thank is pretty freaking great for a $16 item. Vapor production so far has been stellar. I've been rocking this atty non-stop for 5 days now. I'm sure I'll run into some quirks as nothing is perfect but glad to find I can still be impressed. kudo's to the ProTank! cheers!
sfft....sfft...sfft,..... puff....puff...

cTownieVaps12 we did the exact same thing. We had the Z Atty Pro and ended up needing to get some parts, ordered a Pro Tank and bam, wow this thing is awesome. The Z Atty has been sitting untouched and unwanted in our storage bin of vaping items.
I got the Chimbus and the Chobra. I ended up drilling out the holes on both to make them better. I also replaced the plastic tank on the cobra with a glass one. I've also got their octopus, which I also ended up drilling the holes on. As far as I can tell, most of the fasttech RBAs and RDAs, they all need a little fiddling to get them where you want them. It would be nice if I didn't have to replace the o-rings on damn near everything.
im waiting on the trident now, nice looking atty.
was looking at the Helio also but i cant judge where the airhole will sit from the pics, recently got the V9 really nicly made but again same crap the airhole comes in higher then the posts, i can make it work but getting tired of having to do this to 75% of the clones.
I dont care much for the Bulli I got - maybe it is time to get a couple 3 of these.....
Let me know how it is when you get it. I just ordered the v5 (nimbus clone), Igo-l clone, and the V3 (sentinel clone). Now the waiting game begins...
the M4 is my fave dripper (or RDA / RBA) at the moment, beats everything else I have tried once you know how to work it (dealing with the tiny holes is a pain)
Let's see how the RM2 pans out though! Have one on the way
The Igo-L is a great dripper. I got mine from my local B&M, but I'd bet that they got it through FastTech from some of the conversations we've had.
I'm looking to get my first genny though and the Z-Atty clone got my attention. Besides the chrome plating, the performance seems to be solid and for $15 I won't cry if I prefer my Igo-L or W.
