RDA Magma?

[Vapenstein]

I'm looking for single coil with air flow that I can tailor from pretty restricted to fairly open, easy to work on, and flavor is important. I vape mouth to lung.

After reading about the Magma and looking at the pics it looks like the one for me. It looks set up for good single or dual operation and it looks easy to work on. Currently using a Vulcan with one hole taped off. Like but don't love how it vapes.

So should I add the Magma to my cart, or did I miss one out there that meets my criteria better? Thanks

I have the Magma and the Freakshow. If you're buying original the Freakshow would be the better purchase if you can find the latest version which I understand has the option for single coil. My original version is dual coil only.

I like the looks of the Freakshow and almost ordered one. If you look at it though it's for dual coil. The Magma actually has 3 sets of holes on the afc so it's blocked off for single coil users, which is exactly what I am looking for. No more electrical tape on my rda, I'd much rather use something made to do what I want.

I saw a review for the latest version of the FS that has the 3 holes. You may want to check out the regular channels to see if those are available for sale.

Magma for the ease of build, single or dual coils, flavor, airflow adjustment for restricted mtl, or even lung when opened up. Inexpensive, sold everywhere, solid built item. The biggest issues most people have, the long 510 connection. It won't flush mount to all devices. Also, leaky. But if you put an Oring under the airflow ring you can reduce that problem. Magma, they work well.

I am also in the market for a bottom air flow rda and right now I'm kinda leaning towared the holmes by cigreen. Very Similar to the Magma, the biggest difference is the build deck, it looks like it might actually be easier to wick and hold more juice compared to the magma. It doesn't have a "true" single coil option (meaning the AFC ring can close off one of the bottom air holes like the magma), but I've heard that you can just push a little bit of cotton (or whatever wicking material you use) down into the second channel and it works fine.
VaporDNA has it for 29.99

Magma is a great choice. I love my magma in single coil mode. I am also a mouth to lung hitter. I would also recommend the veritas but its harder to build, but its worth it for its leakproofness.

Personally, I LOVE the Cigreen Holmes over the Magma for flavor, cloud production, airflow, adjustability, and no leakage - all for under $30.

Love my Magma for single coil, deep well, easy to build RDA.

 

[DadEh]

I am, by no means knowledgable as I just purchased my 1st two RDA's on Saturday (Magma paradigm and the DarkHorse) these are for weekends as I don't want to drip and drive.
Only used the Magma, so far and for just getting into building my own coils, last week, the Magma was a pleasure to build on. Taste is very very nice and cloud was surprisingly good.
I admit to being somewhat nervous, being a smaller unit versus the RTA, Atlantis and Nautilus but I love the Magma.
Just a noob opinion.

If youre looking at magma clones, make sure you dont buy the one with the flat top inside the cap... the $12.51one at fasttech is the bad one with the flat top chamber. The good ones have the dome shaped chamber and are 1:1 clones of the real deal like this one...

The N22 is another great RDA with adjustable air flow from underneath the coil and a domed chamber for great flavor along with a deep drip well like the magma. It's cap has three slots so it can be ran as single coil or dual coil. The best advantage it has over the magma is the cap can be removed without having to screw it off. And that cap is o-ringed so its not going to seep juice like the magma does. Plus its a damn good looking rda compared to the bloated looking magma. Have a look...

Get a magma for ~$15 and call it a day. It's extremely simple to build, has a deep juice well, and most importantly, it's capable of restricted flow. You actually feel that MTL throat hit that smokers are used to. I recently purchased a lethal RDA on a whim and the flow makes it feel like I'm huffing paint or something. Some people like that I guess but it isn't my kind of thing. I got a magma in the mail today and it's an entirely different story.

The Magma does what you want, and does it well.

My Infinite Magma loves to share juice with my mods though. That airflow ring gets really juicy if you don't have a large o-ring tucked in there to stop the condensation from running through the threads of the top cap, and if you over drip you may end up with some leaking from the actual airflow holes.

 

[sparkky1]

Vertex V2 is the better juice well / chimney and not as leaky.
Marquis is just hands down the flavor junkies dream, little more build time and a more restrictive airflow perfect for mouth to lung hits but awesome non the less

 

[Exchaner]

I see a lot of Magma users on Fasttech recommending the Marquis as a better alternative.

Helpful little thread, nice.
Thanks.

I have no problem recommending the Magma, even in Clones. I have (2) 1:1 versions and they perform perfectly on every build I have done.
The magma may not be as open as some would like but it has good aFC and can be run single and choked down to almost closed if you want.
I have purchased 3 RDA's others claimed were better. They obviously never learned how to set up a Magma(simple) or never owned one.
After several build variations Not produce nearly as good flavor while producing a bit more Vapor.

If a RDA wants to claim it is better than a Magma(designed for Flavor) it had better produce more/better FLAVOR.

I have a magma which I have been running single coil; stuffed one side with foil.

There's one called the Achilles which is like the magma but specifically single coil; 1 airhole up the middle.

I stopped using my magma because it feels like I'm tasting the white plastic block that's down in the dripwell; there's a 22mm version that doesn't have that block, so I've ordered that to try out.

Meanwhile I've settled on the 30mm veritas. I run it single coil; it has only 1 airhole to worry about.

In that situation (on my biddripper) I use scotchtape with a piece of foil stuck to it. The foil is over the hole.

I agree totally, would you mention said other atty's so myself and other forum members don't do the same as you. I will admit I have owned a magma clone for a while. Never gave it a fair chance because I was doing the whole cloud mech thing. Went back to magma with a .3, 24g. Kanthal dual build at 36 watts, and haven't took it off. I have to admit this dripper is giving me the best vape so far. I have to give credit to my sigelei box to allow me to fire said combo, but a really nice vape!
