Help choosing first rda

[Michael7]

So I've been using my mech and kayfuns for about a month now and like everyone else I read posts and reviews and think oh man I gotta have that. And I think I wanna try rda's for late night home use. I'm not really into the idea of repeatedly dripping but I think it'll be a good way to rid my vapors tongue temporarily and try new juices or just have fun blowing clouds. I've been reading through posts searching rda's and it just seems to be very subjective like everything else. I'm looking for ( not in order )
1) ease of build, only plan on doing dual coils for now.
2) refillable from drip tip.
3) holds enough juice to last more than six hits.
4) less than $25 shipped.
5) ships from USA

Now my kayfun is the only rta I've tried so maybe something like a fogger v4 would fit the bill for dual coils and clouds but I Dont wanna have to lose a bunch of liquid everytime I empty it or deal with emptying it really.
I'm thinking maybe an igo w as they seem highly recommended. Or an atomic clone or patriot as I believe they have adjustable airflow.
As a side note I'm very careful with my builds and double triple check each coil before I fire it. I'm running vtc5 and know amp limits and all that other good stuff. I do plan on doing some lower builds .4-.5
Anyways thoughts are greatly appreciated

The patriot doesn't have adjustable airflow. But on the other hand it is a nice unit for a beginner. The posts are drilled so that you can run the coils through them and screw them down. IMO my patriot needs more airflow and I'll drill it out in the near future. I picked up mine at a local B&M for $15. Yes it is a clone. I don't mech but the patriot has fairly deep wells so that you don't have to drip all the time. My only nit pick about the patriot is the location of the air holes. They don't exactly line up over the coils if you center them between the posts. To get ideal airflow the coils will need to be offset a little so that they are aligned with the center post.

I am not sure about any other devices but I am happy with my clone thus far. I am seriously eyeballing the Infinite CLT because it appears to have taken the best of three different RDAs and rolled them into one unit. It is out of your price range by about $10 but it may be worth it.

Thanks I just want a good overall rda , AFC isn't a huge deal just seems like a nice feature. Ive never seen how the caps are normally drilled but I cant imagine its that difficult and I have a drill press at work I could diy it.

I would look for one with AFC. Once I went AFC, I can't go back. The Caterpillar RDA is pretty good, has AFC, has good airflow, which can easily be increased by drilling out all 10 holes to 1/16", and is fairly inexpensive. I loved mine when i had it.

Plume veil or CLT.

The Magma will rock your world , AFC and undercoil airflow like a Kayfun , the well is deep holds almost 1ml , easy build for single or dual coils , it's my favorite RDA for flavor . Magma Style Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer

 

[vampyrex13]

I would have recommended the Magma as well, but I didn't realize how cheap FastTech/AngelCigs has it for since he was looking for $25 shipped. That's a great RDA to work with. Just don't overfill it or it may leak.

 

[suspectK]

The magma is hard to drip with a wide bore drip tip..you really need to take top cap off, but it's not a problem since it's the largest capacity dripper..That doesn't use fluff.

 

[Michael7]

Thanks for the great replys so far, I havnt really looked into the magma yet but if they have it on angelcigs I might give it a shot. I wont order from fasttech I'm just too impatient I like to sit Down and order my stuff on a weekend and have it by the next weekend lol. Also does anyone know where the cheapest place to get the clt is.
Once again thanks and keep em coming

Ebay and vapordna are the only places I've seen the clt. 101vape may have it, but I've had a customer service issues with them..I seem to be the only one.

 

[snow blind]

For ease of build... adjustable AFC... decent sized well etc. id recommend a Tobh. It's a super solid build (I've got infinite and tobeco's both great) and with the lower, domed top cap it produces good flavor and very good vapor. The top being removable allowing full access to your coils is super nice as well.

Other than that for sub $25... id say as others have... Magma or CLT.

 

[suspectK]

Yeah, I have several RDAs..I seem to use my tobh the most for how easy it is to take the heat sink off, seeing exactly how much liquid I need to add.. that's one thing the CLT is lacking. The CLT is infinite's first RDA, but it is really just a clone of three atomizers combined- tobh and stillare +Helios positive post block..

Yeah it's probably my second favorite feature of the Tobh, after the short domed chamber... really that entire top cap is epic, heat sink and all!

I'm SUPER excited for Infinite's "next RDA" whatever that ends up being. I really hope they take some of the air flow designs from the Plume Veil and combine them with the Magma. My perfect dripper would be Plume Veil AFC, top adjustable delrin inner cap as well + Magma dual post, juice wells and direct below air + Tobh style short, removable top cap with heat sink. Do it Infinite!!

 

[suspectK]

My first things from infinite came in cellophane wrappers..lol. but fantastic clones. Their turtle ship and magma changed the game.

 

[KC33]

I just got the CLT and I gotta say that it's really nice. It's very easy to build on, has adjustable air holes, looks good and holds a decent amount of juice. The flavor and clouds are outstanding. They're going for around 35 bucks.

If you want to save some dough and not compromise on an atty, 101 vapes has the Zenith V2 for $14.99. The Zenith is also easy to build on. 3 posts with big holes, holds a decent amount of juice and produces excellent flavor.

It's going to be tough to get a plume veil for maybe another week or two but if you can hold out they're around 25 bucks.

You gotta see the box the CLT came in, it looks like the regular black Infinite box but it's got this real nice texture and it's very thick. My SS Turtle Ship is the most reliable clone I own. I was going to put the CLT on the Buffalo but it didn't fit right so I went right to the TS.

My first Stillare came in a plastic bag with an Infinite log on it. lol

 

[Michael7]

So many choices......grrr decisions,decisions. I just donno which one to pick. Seems like the magma and clt are top picks right now. I'm gonna youtube the plume veil right now.and I would justify $35 if they experience was that much better. I guess I need to keep on YouTube I just get so bored of watching each review show me the box, the packing blah blah blah. Plus that's only one opinion.

Yea, I don't really care for all the BS either but some reviewers are just awesome. I really like Trevor's reviews but he can go on forever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pjua7tm6L1g&list=UUKIFc2QrnylHnGGN0akjwpg

And Rip Tripper is good if not a bit over the top sometimes.

I recently received my Magma. It wasn't my first RDA, but it is turning out to be my fav! I don't have the others I bought. Gave them away. Had all the features I wanted.
