RDA Mutation or Royal Hunter?

[Bxlxaxkxe]

I'm just getting into dripping. A friend gave me some clone, not even sure what it is, that I've been practicing with but its time to get my own. Looking to spend ~30 bucks.

I'd like a good combination of flavor and clouds and dual posts. Plan on building duals around .3-.5 or so.

Would one or the other be better for my needs? I'm a beginner...just getting the hang of building coils consistently.

Are they equally easy to build on? Any huge cons of either?

Any help or insight or other options would be greatly appreciated!

I own I mutation x v4. I don't own a royal hunter. Out of the two I would get a royal hunter.
The mutation has got poor button head screws, the atty barrel is thin and will dent itself out of round if dropped, and the bottom airflow is prone to leaking.

I suppose that says a lot! Leaning towards the hunter, as I've read about a lot of leakage issues with the mutation

The Royal Hunter was my first authentic. I considered the Mutation as well but got to see them side by side in person and chose the Hunter because of the shape of the wide bore and the spit back protection. Dead easy to build on, terrific air flow adjustment, dense flavor (to me) and I haven't had any leaking issues at all.

Reviewers of this RDA often complain that dripping through the spit back protection is an issue but, even as a newb I wouldn't have done that anyway. Residual juice on top of it will defeat the purpose...seems obvious to me. I pop off that wide bore for dripping and the airflow setting is not disturbed.

I have a few mutations, 1,2,3,4, i also have a RH and i have to say i do prefer the RH.

I have the mutation v2 and have tried a friends RH, I prefer the RH. It seems to have better flavor to me, my opinion, not fact, the mutation seems to shine better on a VW device with higher watts.

I like to drip on mechs so the mutation just hangs out. I have heard good reviews on the mutation xs or mini, whatever you call it. Haven't tried it yet thought but do love a reduced chamber.

I've been using a RH alost exclusively for a while now I have to say it's pretty easy to build on and haven't had any issue with it.

I just ordered both from FastTech. I am looking forward to trying them when I receive them in 3 months.

For a first RDA, the Velocity clone from Tobeco is hard to beat.
