RDA magma rda

[reindeer]

Awesome rda. It really does a great job with flavor! The vapor production is pretty darn great, too - not as good as say, on a Little Boy, but still thoroughly respectable!

The only (minor) flaw the Magma has, IMHO, is that you have to hold the air flow control ring in place while you're screwing the top cap back on or it'll move and goof up the air flow.

You're gonna love it, Gavcook!

Can't speak to fasttech - don't know.

Or leave it out entirely. Careful with your coils, or you might short it depending on the build. Mine's an HCigar and runs fine with blue screwdriver coils.

That's why I put a spare o-ring under that AFC ring, so it would stay put.

The Magma's flavor is outstanding, and the airflow is highly configurable. Very easy to build. Deep well lasts me about 30 mins before I need to re-drip it.

Fasttech sucks. Their free shipping option will take about 6 wks to reach you. If I can buy something ANYWHERE else, I will. I got my magma for $18.99 at eciggity, but I wish I'd seen RBAvapor first; they have an even better price.

I've been using my Magma clone as my daily driver for 6 months now (only atty I have lol). I've done all sorts of builds on it, but the post holes are a bit limiting. For my mechanical mod, my go to build for the Magma is 5 wrap 24 gauge dual micro coils, ohming at about .2 every time! The top cap doesn't seem to get terribly hot with this build. Also, this build takes me about 15 minutes to install from start to finish! I have also done some single coils that ohmed at .2 (Twisted 26 gauge in parallel with 2 parallel strands of 26 gauge lol). The flavor was great, but it took a while to ramp up and caused the top cap to get quite hot! I hope you are enjoying your Magma!

At the sacrifice of some flavour(but not much, and none if you go MTL), I started using atlantis/kanger style coils in my Magma - just the tiniest of gaps in the coils VS nice and tight. I find it goes more warm and more mellow, and produces more vapour. I have a single wire pair in her right now. I just did a twisted pair of 28 that way and am going to try and use it and see if some of the flavor is back. I am running her currently at .7 Ohm with duals and wide open without the ring AFC.

well my magma turned up took 3 weeks for delivery, However i am very happy with its performance so far still trying to figure out the right build for me but i am sure that will come with practice. very pleased with it so far though.

Been running mine recently with a single twisted 28 gauge for .8-1 ohm for 7/8 wraps on a screw I I use to remove cartomizer tips for refilling for another beginning vaper in my household. It's maybe 25% more width than the blue screwdriver. Keeping the wires loose again. It runs nice and warm without overheating. In fact, this one seems to like to run at 25-30 watts on my iStick, which is the hottest I have ever run my Magma. Almost feels like a mech. Ramps up fast, warms up fast, but doesn't over heat unless you forgot you are using a magma and go for clouds. With the loose twisted singles, I can run fairly high PG without it stinging me.

Anybody running a Magma (original or clone) on a tc mod with ni200?

I've been running a clone, Ivogo if I remember correctly with TC builds. Before I went to TC I tried several Kanthal builds on it and found nothing beat just a straight forward single contact coil for me so that's what I've been using with 28ga N200 although a larger diameter, performs great. I know it's recommended to run spaced coils with TC but I've had no issues doing contact coils with it. ymmv

I guess I'm the only magma hater? Leaked from day one. Tried the o-ring fix, tried the syringe needles in the air holes trick. Even with a 'just saturated' wick (no juice in the well) - figured out the problem wasn't juice leaking from the well or deck, it was condensation dripping down from the inside of the top. Couldn't do anything about that so it sits in a drawer.

Very happy with the mutation v3. Same deep well but no leaking, and much better/easier airflow control.

Yeah it does have a leak problem, but I figured out early on that an RDA is a home-only device, not be taken out, since it has to be kept upright -- and at home I can tend to any leakage. I just like it because it's the ONLY RDA I've found that's actually tootle-friendly; all the others seem to need a big WHOOSH inhale, which is not how I vape.
