I'd recommend a Magma clone. It performs very well at higher resistances and at lower wattages and is very easy to build. It doesn't have the largest air flow out there but it's still much better than a clearo and has the best flavor I've encountered so far. I've been using my Infinite Magma clone daily for over 6 months now and have yet to have an issue with it and it still looks as good as the day I got it.

I agree with the magma for an rda. Not only is it easy, its awesome and everyone should have one. It might be the one dripper that tastes better with a single coil, too.

For a tank I will suggest a Lemo, Taifun GT or kayfun. Easier builds, good flavor and consistant. If I were to choose one of those, it would be the Lemo.

I got this 30mm magma clone recently; very easy to build on with my old eyes.

I also got this 30mm veritas, which turns out to be quite good; I guess it was easier to make a build on it because there's only 1 airflow to consider; the only problem was this clone I got the screws are not stainless steel; they started rusting as soon as I put them to soak.

I'm still looking for a good rta; I have a kayfun which I've used for a few weeks to months;
I also recently acquired a fogger and a flash-e-vapor; the flash looks real interesting (looks easy to build but the videos I've seen seems it's more complicated) but I haven't tried them out yet; enjoying my rda's so far.

I started with the rsst and have tried kayfun since then and a patriot and enjoy all of them. The rsst was a breeze as my first and still my favorite. Easy to coil and with a mesh wick that fits inside that nice insulated wick hole I rarely get any leaks even on its side. I love the rsst. Best taste of the bunch for me (that may have to do with my all day vape flavor desert ship) and great vapor. In fact, as soon as my first steel mesh wick broke in(about a 1/3 of a tank), I had an enlightening experience with a juice I have vaped with for three years. I tasted things I never tasted before. Incredible

Even tho I favor gennies, I have to second the recommendations to start with a dripper. It's vaping boiled down to basics. It can be frustrating to start out with something like a Kayfun/Russian if you haven't built a single working coil yet. Not that they're hard to build. It's just that it gets annoying completely draining and dismantling them if you don't get it right on the first few tries.

With a dripper you have full access to your build in full working (or not) order without disturbing anything.

That's true; although, with my kayfun 3.1 if I leave out the fogchamber, chimney, the plastic tank, and one of the steel tubes, it would be a dripper

Thanks for the replies.Seems that I 'll go for a magma clone.Are there any good ones that fasttech sells?

Judging by the reviews on there I'd say the ones they stock are pretty good. I'd go for this one based off the reviews, apparently it's made by the same company that supplies Infinite. The brass or copper afc ones and the black one look nice too if you're into that.

Just curious ....how do you or the buyers on ft know it's made by infinite ?
I would suggest you go with in the infinite magma .....I have 2 got them via ebay ....sorry I don't have the link it's been awhile ........Also If you do get it ....look into the thread on ecf that demonstrates modding it with a 12 Guage needle ........ unless you like leaky rdas........

I personally don't know for sure that it is but a lot of people are claiming it is anyway. Looking at the listing, it contains everything mine did and looks to be built exactly the same, uses the same type screws and has the same insulator. Also, the box is exactly the same except for the word "Infinite" being omitted. Also, the finish and etching look exactly like mine.

I myself would rather purchase an Infinite branded one from a US vendor and spend a few extra bucks to get it quicker.
