I am looking for a good rda that is not too expensive. It will be my first experience with rebuildables and I dot want to get anything too fancy since there is a high probability that it will get damaged. Thanks in advance.
Good RDA for Beginners

There are several authentics as well as clones that are inexpensive.
Most RDAs are built well enough to withstand quite a bit of abuse.
What are you looking for? Flavor or clouds?

I'm looking at rdas for a bit of both. To start with, just flavor until I get better at building coils, then I may start cloud chasing.
You can't go wrong with a plume veil. I got one from fasttech and now all my other atty's collect dust...
The best 3 post simple atty is also my favorite dripper, the quasar, I also have a clone from eBay that cost ten bucks and it's just as nice as my real one it's a fantastic device and very easy to build on.
I sound like a broken record, but check out the Magma.
Very easy to build and master. The airflow options easily taccommodate single or dual coils. Flavor is top notch, and it holds a lot of juice so it isnt as impractical as more traditional dripper designs. Vapor production can be quite good, but it is not a massive competition worthy cloud producing machine. It definitely produces enough vapor that it can attract unwanted attention in public places.
While I love the plume veil, I dont know that I would recommend it to a beginner. There is no practical way to run it as a single coil, not to mention it has a very very limited range of airflow control, and most beginners in the field arent looking to take massive lung hits all the time.
Very good all around atty.

Patriot clones are reallllllly cheap and easy to build on as well. You wont get your feelings hurt if you fudge it up a bit.
I'll second the Magma, especially for a beginner.
I agree with all of this except the fact that it can be set up in single or dual coil mode. My authentic can anyway as the top cap was designed for either configuration.
Personally, I think that the 2 best RDAs from a value and performance standpoint are the Odin by Loki Lab and the 454 Big Block by Kryptonite.
Each can be had for some $70.00, which is much much less than their counterparts.

My current favorite RDA is the Mutation X. An authentic RDA for $25. I even like it better than my $115 authentic Plume Veil.
magma clone can be had for a good price. (got mine on ebay) very easy to build single or duel coil and nice deep juice well.
Thanks everyone for all your advice and input. I'm not quite sure what I want just yet. Still weighing all my options. While I am a beginner, I would like to get a good all around rda that will support me through my beginner and intermediate stages.
Authenticity isn't a huge concern for me simply because I know some clones are made equal if not better than the real ones. With that being said if I buy a clone that had a logo on it, the logo will be removed.
I'm torn between the magma plume veil and a few others at the moment. I need to do some research on the mutation and the Odin and see how I like those.

I second the magma. I have the infinite clone from fasttech and it's superb. Best flavour for a beginner.
My plume veil clone (not from fasttech) is also excellent but I wouldn't say it was an rda for a first timer. It's not difficult to build on its just got loads of airflow options and works better for lower ohm builds.
My first was a trident and alongside the magma I'd recommend any good 3 post rda with a typical airflow style like the trident, quasar, tobh etc etc. There are so many.

Just because your new to rebuilding doesn't mean you shouldn't buy something cool. All those are good options as a newbie your prolly not going to looking to fo low sub ohm so you would be well suited to get something that preforms best in that ohm range , the magma is a good option for sure, so are all the others you have seen mentioned. Ebay will make you happier that ft .
The magma is a great rda but it will restrict the kinds of builds you can do because of the airflow holes. If you want an rda that is versatile in the fact that you can build any kind of coils you want i would stick to something like a tugboat or vulcan or plumeveil etc. The vulcan is dead sexy btw
Magma does both single and dual coil airflow. My first dripper was the Origin V2, which took a few weeks of experimenting in order to get good flavour. Then the Magma came along.. I could fire a tangle of rusty wire at it with a slingshot and it'd end up tasting great.
