One atty to rule them all. Found mine, what's yours?

[ukeman]

Got my Magma together with a .25 ohms dual micro coil and it kicks assz. Flavor is better than the Zenith2, about on par with my Origen2 (which for some reason i like better than the V1). I think it'd make a good b/f rda for sub ohms Reo's.

Still it doesn't touch my top ranked Prometey2 single coil .5 ohms in flavor department, but for a sub .3 ohms dual, I didn't expect it to... for the price the Magma counterfeit from Vapetek and how close it gets is killer.

smok rsbt might be my favorite now. 4ml capacity at size of kayfun in nano size. It is really making me question if I'll continue using my kayfuns...

 

[Tbev]

If you mean rsst check out the pulse genny, it's got a reducer, you use that and run single setup, I have tons of gennys and that's always been the best flavor out of anything.

Nope, I mean rsbt. It's a new RBA from smok.

that looks like a rebuildable protank

well more like a taifun or pre-4.0 fogger

Very similar to fogger with the build deck well, I believe the posts are taller tho. Also better airflow and single piece metal outer sleeve.

wow... talk about your universal access these days; for $26 put it on a $17 FT brass Neme

I mean talk about set it and forget it; nice deal. RSBT Smok

I find that lots of air (big dual air holes) usually tends to diminish flavor vs a single coil, one air hole RDA, granted its a good single coil RDA, but they are a lot of fun; ie. the Magma, Zenith, Origen etc...

Origen2 seems to have more air adjustability (for a smaller air hole) imo, and maybe thats why it gives me best flavor( for a dual coil ) RDA (aside from its chamber and deck design).

 

[Tbev]

I just took my 0.4ohm twisted 28ga horizontal build out and threw 0.2ohm 28ga horizontals in my origen v2 and it still can't touch the flavor of my quasar @0.33ohm

 

[Tbev]

OK so I have to recant my previous statement, after cleaning the contacts on my lux switch, and pulling my head out of my azz, it's close, but as good, not as dense of vapor but it definitely is much better than any of my previous Ov2 builds.

I have a bottom feed modded Magma on a Reo right now running .4 ohms and I can verify that it is fantastic. bought on the classifieds here, tied with my modded zenith for best reo atty.

good call. i think it depends on how you like your vape...

I can't handle full on big air RDA vape's like what the Zenith and Magma put out ( i would guess the Magma has better flavor than Zenith because under coil air desin). The Origen 2 is good for me because at the smallest air setting its still more than a single air single coil like my Prom2, but not as much as the Z or Magma at smallest setting.
I have my O2 on the Reo Grand and it tastes better than the Magma with same juice. But I'd love to have a b/f Magma to try on my Reo for sure.

After the 35 or so attys I've bought I finally found "The One"
After trying the Magma clone from fasttech I cannot put it down
and all others pale in comparison for me. Been using it solid for 3 weeks now. The vape is so smooth
compared to anything else I've tried and super flavorful. It delivers the vape moist and warm without that super harsh kick to the throat that most drippers give in sub ohm. Still a good kick but far more bearable for me.
Running dual coil .4 ohm 26 gauge micro coils wicked with cotton. Loving it so much
That I don't even care to build and test the 6 or so I've got that
are new and collecting dust.
I'm still rotating it among the many mods in my arsenal, currently on the copper nemesis and looking sweet. Guess I'll be saving loads of cash on toppers now. I'm sure this thing will be my everyday device for a long time.

What have you found that beats them all and why?

Right on brother I'm glad you found that unicorn! I love the magma too for the amazing density/flavor, but I tend to concentrate on big vapor (the kids call it "cloud chasing" ). So naturally I ended up going with the TOBH ATTY. After loving that for 6 months, chopping off the airflow control teeth, and widening the (already massive) airflow, I discovered the 26650 (28.5mm) version of it by Tobeco, and I haven't looked back since.

You figure with a larger chamber it'd take away from the flavor, but since I can have more juice, more airflow, hotter/bigger coils (made from Gplat to keep the ohms low), what you end up with is a 2x bigger vape! I'm a firm believe that with big vapor, comes big flavor, and that's exactly what this atty does. I attached a massive dime sized bore pyrex drip tip (which is about .5" all the way through the heat sinks), and you get an overwhelming mouthful of dense, warm vapor. I usually like a lighter flavor anyway, which is probably why I prefer 100% VG too, so I tend to like the faster heating, big airflow type RDA's. But the magma is certainly dense and flavorful, I love it for that, if they made a 26650 version, with 1/8th" airflow, I think I'd be in vape heaven.

My magma clone by infinite is my favorite rda atm. I was a little over zealous and stuck a .2 dual sleeper on it the day I got it. I feel this is probably lower than the ideal ohms a magma...but...I can't seem to make myself recoil it. I can take a one to two second drag and get decent vapor (on the hot side) and kickass flavor. I prefer long draws so I will eventually recoil lower but I am loving my magma.

My current out and about setup is a expromizer on a mech at .5 give or take .1 ohm. I have the extension so unless I run it lower ohm the vape in cooler than my preference. The flavor out of this rta is very nice. The wicking on this tank is outstanding with the correct build. After learning how to build it right I can chain vape it with no dry hits till the tank runs empty. I am currently using a dual coil reading .35 and she is warm and tasty. Its not a perfect atty but I love mine. My two gripes? The spring - which I have replaced with a thick solid copper replacement. And the airflow - which is fairly airy but I am considering enhancing that further.

I am looking at the Plume Veil clone and seriously considering getting one. It sounds like the next step up in a flavor chasing atty and while I love a lungful of thick chewy vapor, I am a flavor chaser most of all.

Oh yeah, I am using cotton to wick both of my favorite attys. I have recently acquired about 5 foot of rayon and plan on trying it soon.

 

[Loopy1224]

My favorite changes but right now i am loving my Veritas! Really different design but kind of a pain to build. I like my Magma a lot too but it does leak quite a bit. I've playing around with different builds on my Plume Veil also an amazing RDA.

My magma leaks a lot more when I pack the channels completely full of cotton. If I leave a little gap (on each side) and don't get overzealous with my dropper I have much, much less leakage. Also if you have your coils too high from the airflow the legs of the wick can contribute to the leaking. I think having a lot of cotton sitting above the deck/airflow is one reason the magma can be leaky.

I am getting a plume veil my wallet just doesn't know it yet...

 

[ukeman]

I have my Magma setup with dual micro's about 5/64" ID, and just enough cotton to fit nicely and tails about 2/3 the way down the well.
Tilting when vaping makes sure the juice gets to the coils when less than full.
I follow the school of thought that too much cotton around the coil will just hang up and starve the coil.

Angel Hair Org. cotton from Ebay seller is a good wicker.

I'm 2 months free of the hold of analogs. However, I am finally understanding wicking. It's definitely more important than the coil build. Probably the most important part of any build. It's been said more than a thousand times, less is more. I re-wicked my Tobh clone several times this weekend. Just to experiment. Yup, too much and you choke off the coil.

You would have thought I'd have learned this with my KFs, but no. I did try several different thicknesses of cotton wick with them but just never seemed to hit the mark. Funny, but dripping has taught me more about wicking than tanks did. No wonder I had such a hard time wicking my Erl.

Seems I've gone around my ...hole to get to my elbow in learning wicking. Ah well, I have arrived and the journey's been fun. Still have much to explore and experiment with.

What a fun hobby that keeps me off the stinkies.

26650 Tobh., .9 ohm dual, Hades 26650 black battery holder, Silver Tobh black Mod dose not match color wise looks ok though
What matters is the creamy rich, cool full chewy flavor.
I think the best vaping money I have spent in 3 years.

There's also a plethora of different takes on cotton puffs today: from Raw organic, Pima cotton, Angel Hair organic, to Hemp fiber, and Rayon Cellu- cotton.

There are different RDA designs that these different wick choices can apply as well. I.e. a straight up dripper with a flat base, no juice wells where the juice is close to the coil, normal, denser cotton ball type (short tails for me) fits the bill...
VS. a design with juice wells, which need to be accessed by the wick tails and then I find that normal density can slow the wicking (which can be a problem if doing sub ohms).
