My favorite would have to be my only one...
The Caterpillar by SmokTech
It seems to do exactly what I need it to. Right now I am running dual coils at about 1.2 ohms on an iStick.

I go through phases where I'm partial to a particular RDA. This week it's my Dark Horse clone. I like airy RDAs and this thing brings the air. Twisted 26ga duals, .38ohm. Works nicely on my Sig 100 at 70W.
I have the dark horse clone with the copper sleave, love that black one! It is a great rda! Right now im using my mephisto with a dual 22 g reading at .16 on my ameravape buster... ill post pics when i get home.
I like the Odin by LokiLab - it's my favorite RDA at the moment (especially with the router bit drip tip). I like it because it's easy to build, you can set up single or dual coil, and I like that it has AFC. I don't like the logo and I wish that you could take the top cap off like you can the TOBH. I'm not a cloud chaser, so I make dual coil builds with 28awg Kanthal that gets me to 1.0ohms.
I found my "sweet spot" before there was such a thing as RDAs or sub ohm vaping. So I wasn't still looking for a better vape when I started looking at RDAs, I was just looking for a more efficient way to do it. $6 for a new atomizer compared to maybe 10 cents for a new coil & wick just seemed like a no brainer.
The end result was I wanted to find a RDA that I could make vape just like my old 510 atomizers. The A7 fits that bill quite well.

Nice rig my friend!
My first favorite is the Magma, mostly because you can fill it on Monday and vape all week.
Tied for first place is the Atomic. I love this little guy. Perfect air flow for the way I like to vape and great flavor.

Not my pic but it's the pic of the one I ordered and RECEIVED!! just this Monday:
I like my 30mm magma because it's so BIG; good for my 50+ year old eyes and nolongersteady fingers; the two posts are widely separated instead of having a center post;
by contrast the igo-w3 was a pain to build with 5 posts cluttered in a 22mm well;
the magma top cap screws on, so I guess that's a plus because there's no rubber rings to wear out; so this thing can last forever provided by the looks of it; the airflow ring doesn't turn once I screw down the top cap, in a way it's a minus but in a way it's a plus. And it's got adjustable center pin, unlike my igo-w3.
I also got a veritas from fasttech, but 1 night soak and the water was brown from rust - apparently from the screws and nuts. Plus it's a pain to take the topcap off; you gotta screw it onto a mod to do that.

My lord that thing must hold an entire 30 ml bottle of juice. I really like that drip tip. I don't think my Magma clone came with one. I have the 1:1 FT clone.
I can't seem to build the magma to get that flavor everyone talks about. I have a single coil in it now, .7 ohms with rayon. Must be doing something wrong.
I love my mutation x. Have a dual coil .6 ohm build right now & Sugar Bear has never tasted better.

Took a pic for you showing size comparison to a regular ego/510 adapter on the left; yep it holds a lot; I guess somewhere between 2 and 5 ml; I've got a lot of cotton in there soaked with the stuff and because of the way the airholes are, it's unlikely to leak; I've been leaving it lying horizontal without a problem.
At the moment I am really digging the Mutation X. So much that I have two. One is running a single 28 awg 2.2 ohm with yummy Gravity. The other is running a dual 28awg @ 1.1 ohm with yummy Custards Last Stand.
Work computer is making it tricky to supply photos, but since I purchased it my Mutation X has been amazing. Huge post holes make any time of build easy, and the airflow adjustment works for low subohm builds up to tasty flavor builds. Still can't believe it's a third of the cost of some of my other rda's. It doesn't look as sexy as some of the other atty's out there but for ease of build and performance, I love it. Close second for me is the Vulcan.
