Thank you all that replied to my post asking about RDA's and helped me decided which one to get.

I just received my Magma clone today (Paradigm because infinity was out of stock) and made my first coil and instantly fell in love lol.. I also got a Kayfun Lite Plus clone by Ehpro but I have not tried messing with it yet until I watch a video on how to use it.

I made one slight mistake on my order and got 28 gauge Kanthal which I should have gotten maybe 30 gauge since I use a Vamo V-2 I want to build about a 2.1 ohm coil. I did build a 2.1 ohm coil but it took quite a few wraps. I made it I guess what you call a nano coil? Its like 10 wraps really tight. It works but the lag between when I hit the button and when the coil gets hot enough to vape is just way to long.

I think I'm going to order some thinner Kanthal here and use that instead of the 28 gauge. The wicking material I got is Japanese Cotton and its working great.

One thing I noticed tho is there is condensation building up in my Magma and also once in a while when I vape it there is a Pop sound.

I think I might eventually get a 50w box mod and go all out but for now I just don't have that kind of money so the Vamo will have to do. I also got some 35amp efest 18650 batteries with my order so when I do get a 50w mod I have some batteries for it and I can use them on my vamo also because my current batteries are very old and don't hold a charge well.

I would like to try some new juices though because I have been using the same exact flavor of juice from the same seller for 2 years and nothing else lol.. I'm just afraid to buy a juice and not like it and have wasted that money. I use Ikenvapes RY4 i get the PG and VG and mix them 50/50. I would like to try some different flavors from somewhere but I don't know where..

Anyways I just wanted to say that I'm really glad that I got my first RDA and its great! Now I home my Kayfun works well since I have not tried it yet.

I'm curious how was you guys first experience with an RDA?

The magma on a vamo you need to stay at 1.3 ohms or above. Try a single 28 gauge at 1.4 ohms and crank it up all the way till you get a mech to run dual coils.

As for KFL run a 1.4 microcoil with 28 and 7 wraps around 5/64 bit and will be great with japan cotton.

I am running this build in my KFL and 30 watt device.

Just an FYI.

If your batteries are the purple Efest 18650 2500mAh 35A batteries -- they are not 35A continuous. They are really rebranded LG18650HE2 2500mAh 20 amp continuous batteries.

Here is another warning that was posted on ECF regarding another purple Efest battery: Efest 3100mAh battery caution

Thank you I just bookmarked that. I wanted to get the Sony VTC battery but the place I ordered everything from Eciggity was out of stock. Even though its only 20a it should be way more than enough for on my vv/vw vamo but when I get my 50w box mod I will have to make sure I don't over draw it. Thank you for telling me that.
