With a few exceptions, most RDA's leak due to overfilling and poor wicking. There's not a lot of mainstream RDA's that aren't reputable. For a first timer I would recommend the tugboat. It's built like a tank, it's really easy to build on and I've never had it leak on me. If you're looking for a clone, which is probably a good idea for a beginner, try this link.

Cigreen Holmes or the Veritas are your best bets. If you want single coil, get the Veritas. If you like to run dual coils, get the Holmes.
I'm a big fan of mine. If your going to use it with NI200 it's a PITA but for kanthal it can't be beat.
Only one I like as much or better is the Viking.
I hear the Magma is excellent for flavor, and that if you don't fill the EXTREMELY DEEP well past half full, it doesn't leak -- but fill it anything past half, and it will leak.

I would recommend The Veritas clone or authentic for a no mess or less likely to leak RDA, they are pretty solid.
Yeah, the veritas has a slight well to it (more so than many) that should prevent a lot of leaks. Compared to mephistos, tugboat, etc, its probably one of the least leaky. Plus it's easy, unique, and fun to build on and puts out some good flavor.
As everyone has said, the Veritas, it is my go to dripper.
As long as you don't turn it upside down or fill to the point the liquid reaches the air hole, you can lay this thing on its side with no leaking.
But where it really shines is flavor, this is the most flavorful atomizer I have found. I have had to go back through my juice reject box since I have this thing and now realize most of the ones I didn't like was from back when I was using the Kangertech tanks and coils. All of a sudden I probably have a years worth of juice just from my reject box....

go for a Magma, ... the build is super easy if your new to RDA's, tons of flavour, deep juice well holds around 1 ml e-liquid, no "O" rings to maintain, it's a nice dripper. As someone already mentioned drippers will leak if you overfill them.

I have the black PVD Mag,it will ''seep'' from the threads,for me anyway,i just removed the AFR,screw down top cap all the way down,and vape wide open...BONE DRY.I find with both holes wide open i can do mouth to lung of lung hits at the same time,i thing the Mag is one hell of a tank.

"Take a spare o-ring from a Kayfun tank section, install it over the Mag's base, beneath the top-cap threads"
tip is courtesy of someone named Critical Vape, and it works, you wont get any seepage using the air control ring.

I needed a good RDA for while at work. Something I can put in my shirt pocket and not worry about it leaking. I tried the Veritas and it works good. But if you overfill like any rda, it will leak juice. I now use the MutationX and it has been the best rda for me. Great flavor and doesn't leak. The airholes are set a little higher than the coils which keeps the juice in the wells. Though, it will leak if overfilled. This rda has been my favorite so far. Good luck.
only dripper I've found I can carry around that never leaks, is the GG Tilemahos, 100 bucks
Ya'know, looking at the authentics, I just see the prices and I wonder what that is going on in relation to the price of clones. Jeez!
My least leaky rda (about 20 of them) Achilles, tugboat, veritas... I will mention this, my orchid gives the dripper taste and clouds as some of my rdas and zero leaks as long as it's stuffed the correct way
with a big dripper a couple of presses on the drip tip is usually enough to juice the wicks so there's less chance of leaks from overdripping, in practice I found the big dripper sweats a little juice through the top section anyway, nothing serious, but I wouldn't want to carry it around in a pocket
