Search around a little bit more, you'll find several threads with Many, Many recommendations.
For your first atty, pretty much, you can throw a "dart" on any website and buy any atty and you'll learn what works and what doesn't. What works for You and what doesn't. What You like and don't like. Then you will try out other Drippers, and then others, its inevitable! It will never be Once and done.

Good luck

IMO it is not enough power....i started with Infinte CLT V2 on that 30W Istick....tried it for a few Days and decided to buy a device with a lot more Power. I think 30W is not enough to get the Last out of your RDA.

That's why I posted here& so I guess I'll upgrade the mode.
What mod did you get and you think is perfect?

IPV mini v2 also presents a good value for a 70 Watt single 18650. I would also look at the various sigelei mods and the ipv3. Remember you will also need battaries and a charger with any of these. The istick 50w would be a good one with internal battaries, but personally I would look for an atty with less airflow for a 50 Watt device. Maybe a derringer or a freakshow if you don't mind a little leaking at first. There are many other older attys with reduced airflow as well.

I'm running a Mutation X v3 on my iStick 30W, and I have it built with a single parallel coil of 30g A1, 11 wraps, 1/8" ID at 1.8 ohm. At 30W, response time is great and I have enough battery to puff all day on it.

That said, I have an Arrow 100W mod on the way with an Aeolus clone from FT, since the iStick/Mutation combo doesn't allow me enough flexibility to play with heavier wire guages or dual coils.

Good luck with your setup; you can get good results with the iStick, you just have to understand how to build to its strengths. It took me several days of building, rebuilding and adjusting to find its sweet spot.

30W isn't enough to get the good out of a Mut X IMO. For something like that I'd get a Magma. Good clouds and amazing flavor.

30W isn't enough power to get amazing performance on a build like a .35 ohm 24g dual coil, but if you build high resistance with a small mass of wire like a 28 or 30 gauge single coil, it holds its own. That's the beautiful part of VV/VW devices. You can adjust build resistance and power to achieve a heat flux value that gives you the performance you want.
 
My Magma likes to sit on my iStick 30W at 1-1.3 ohms.
