I found magma clones.. $35.. very solid for that too.

My vote goes to the origen for a work horse. I'm loving the magma though.. almost 40 drops in the well.

I use a 510 atomizer by Smartvapes which costs around $3.50 and it lasts an average of 3 months with medium use. It works flawlessly and the flavor is great. Am I missing something by not using an RBA/rda?

Yes, a good rba will outlive you.. even with obscene, heavy use. Performance is better too..look great also.

I have 6 lite + clones by eh pro..love them. The new version of them is really solid..drip tip has a little wobble to it, and the base has a slightly different finish comparing it to the tank section.. barely noticeable..but beyond that it is exceptional.

What mod(s) are you using? The fogger v4 looks sweet.. but I don't know how easy it is to plug up one side for single coils. I personally don't think dual coils perform well with typical variable mods.

I have a ton of rda's and rta's at the moment, I will share with you the ones that I use and work great. I can honestly tell you I own 3 with 1 on the way of the Helios RDA, I have advised many friends to get one and all are extremely happy with them. Most replace a trident or Igo-l with it. It is one of the easiest to build on rda I have ever used, and I have a lot before I found the helios. You can find clones for under 10.00 and besides machine oil they are going to perform flawless out of the box. I have a couple Igo-l's I use for flavor testing and again cheap and work but limitations a plenty. I also own many rta's and all site now besides my aqua hybrid matched to a origin, even my kayfun sits and I hate dual coils on everything except my Aqua. the Aqua has been flawless since day one and never an issue where the Kayfuns I have had many issues despite popular belief....I own a ehpro/tobecco and another so I own 3 but all have there issues but still great devices. I would say hands down get a helios clone and be happy, I have a clear top on the way along with a taurus and omega to find the perfect match for my Paragon mod.... Chances are I am going to make a copper top for the helios because its just that good. hope this helps you some, Strapped

where'd you find the magma clones? I only saw one group buy that I missed out on. I want to get the magma and the Origen

Are you referring to Kayfun 6L or something else? I am using an old Ego Twist which goes up to 4.8 volts.

^I have 6 eh pro kayfun lite+ clones. If you're using an ego, wait for me to get one of these. I'll let you know how it is. It will look fly on an ego with a collar/plinth/skirt

http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=161269924777

There is another one available on seller's page when I purchased mine earlier today.

Thanks SuspectK, I look forward to hearing how you like your new Kayfun. BTW, the second one on EBay is sold. Is there a site outside of EBay where I can look at different Kayfuns? There are so many models... Confusing. I understand Fasteck might have them but their customer service is not up to par.

Kayfun mini is the only one that will look nice on the mod you have. I just got one because I'm getting a 14500 mod in a trade.

Some people use kayfuns on egos.. nothing wrong with that at all..I try to stick with diamond vapes and the other few sellers I've gotten anything from on ebay.. all my present kayfuns came from there. Lite=non adjustable airflow, 91% the height of kayfun 3.1, russian- very little difference between 3.1... lite+ & russian 91%- adjustable airflow...lite+ control on bottom, 91 on side...

Taifun gs is a 17mm rba.. very similar to kayfun mini.. haven't played with one before. Check out the rba subforum. Pm me if you have more questions.

Tired of buying crappy clones of good RDA's like the Trident, or Omega on eBay. I have ordered three so far for around 20 dollars shipped. All arrived soaked in Machining oil... The Ehpro Omega had a post that was stripped out and would completely fall of the deck. The Trident was not even as show in the pictures so it was not 1:1 and had 3 air holes of the same size... Talk about "Adjustable Airflow" and i also had a Patriot clone that had one of the posts stripped out same as the Omega... I have an Igo-w that is "Usable" but in general they are kind of cheap and i am looking to step up to something that has more capability. Something that has decent cloud capability along with good flavor. Adjustable airflow would be nice as well but most of all.. I JUST WANT SOMETHING THAT WORKS lol. Not really sure if this is the right section im sorry if any admins are viewing it that can move it to the right section i apologies and i appreciate your understanding. As to everyone else any help would be much appreciated im at a loss here :confused:

My Omega clone is alright. Works great. Just a real PITA to build, with those high well-walls, and the post-holes are actually hard to thread.

Aside from the difficulty building, is a decent clone for big lung hits.
That "muffler" style drip tip needs to go though - makes it really much harsher than it needs to be

Smok Caterpillar…. 22mm, dual coil, adjustable airflow and cheap. I sanded of the plating on the airflow ring and I love it on the Neme. Vapes nice and well built for the price. I started paying a little more for my clones at my B&M so I could get up close and personal before purchase. Like you, I've learned the hard way that all clones are not created equally;) Oh and I've had hands on the EHPro Atomic clone and it was very nice. Probably my next atty.

Shell out the cash for a Brass Monkee 60-80$. Easy to build on, flavor is great, awesome for dual coils. You already said you spent 20$ on cheap clones a few times, might as well pull the plug for something good. I have a 3D Dripper on the way, should be here tomorrow (or today now), but I mainly got that for functionality. I really don't see me buying another dripper until something mind-blowing happens, because all in all at a certain point they all become the same thing.
