Magma or Mephisto

[gvegastiger]

I'm looking for a good first rda and I think I've narrowed it down to these 2. I've heard nothing but good things about the magma but I like the 3 posts on the Mephisto. It loooks like an easier build to me. I can't find too much on it though. What do you guys think?

That is a hard choice. First rda - the Mephisto has to one of the easiest decks to build on, a fairly deep deck for fluid, and I like the air control better - so I'd guess I'd suggest it.

The Magma is a breeze to build on, with a single coil that is. I run a parallel single so in effect it's a dual, but much easier. Not familiar with the other atty, but a 3 post is nice for sleepers. Have quite a few rda's now and I have 3 Magma's. That should tell you something....

The flavor from the Magma 'smokes' all my other atty's!

heck get both...you can get the mephisto kit w/3 rings for 20 bucks at fluid vapes......you can get the magma anywhere for 15 to 30 bucks depending on the brand

If I was getting a clone. I would and did get the infinite magma. I am happy with it.
That being said if I was getting a authentic. I would prepay on a plume veil 1.5. It will be out in the next few weeks and would be worth the wait. Thinking about one myself right now.

They're completely different styles so it depends on what you're looking for.

I'm leaning towards the mephisto for something that allows easy dual builds. I want to try my hand at a good dual coil or a sleeper coil. I see that you can do duals on a magma and everyone loves it so its still in the mix.

I've got both.

BEST flavor (that I've had to date), decent vapor (undrilled), easy build =Magma

GREAT flavor, insane vapor, SUPER EASY to build with any wire = Mephisto

As far as clones go the brass monkey is better constructed, thicker meta better fit etc and 4 posts

edit I get the two confused

Magma does not have 4 posts. It has 2 large ones.

That being said, it really depends on what you are going for. If you want clouds then the Mephisto. If you want flavor then the Magma. I have both clones and I'd say that the flavor is different between the two....not better. My tastebuds prefer the Magma but that's all subjective.

Well they're different styles of RDAs. Mephisto is the typical 3 post cloud blowing dripper which can take any build you want. Magma is a flavor machine that's simple to build on and holds a lot of juice.

Personally I adore the Magma. But that's just my style of vaping, I like flavor and the juice capacity over blowing clouds and using some crazy thick wire build. If you want to build a sub ohm build with thick wires and blow clouds, then you probably want the Mephisto. Although I'd highly suggest becoming more familiar with building/batts/safety before diving into sub ohm builds, since you say this is your first RDA.

Magma w/ 4 posts?

Magma all day!

It's Magma World bro.. IMO..

I think the Magma is better for mouth to lung hits and the Mephisto for lung hits. I find the flavor better on the Magma but it's all personal choice and what's great for me might not be for you.

Sorry to derail the thread I get all these confused with the brass monkey
