It was reviewed better than fine by both Twisted420 and Convicted Vapes. I have the Teflon Black and Gunmetal versions. Will be purchasing a third once the stainless version is officially released. What do you want to know about the Paradigm Modz Magma Reborn ?

The convicted vapes review is what really turned me on to it. I feel like these guys are some of the best reviewers right now because they're so honest and tell it how it is. Just wondering if you have found anything the reviewers may not have mentioned and I assume since you're about to have three you can defiantly recommend it.
I just read up on the Origen part of the discussion and being an Origen lover myself I thought I'd chime in.
What I am noting on almost all posted pictures is quite long negative legs.
If you take off the top nut and loosen the lower one, you can turn your positive post so the holes angle slightly towards the side you will be fixing your negative lead on. When setting up a brand new Origen, I usually also use a pair of needle nose pliers to give the deck a slight nudge to make sure it sits snug.
Second, I like to wrap my negative around the screw from behind, makes it very easy to hold for me and the rotation of the screw puts tension on the wire instead of working against it. (assuming a build on the right hand side of the deck ofc)
The outcome is pretty much equal leg length on both positive and negative sides.
As far as flavor goes, 2nd biggest airhole still has amazing flavor for me. I find that, at least with my builds (8wrap 26gauge kanthal microcoil on 2.5mm, or 6 wrap 26 gauge titanium spaced on 2.5mm) the flavor drops considerably on the largest airhole. I typically vape between 34-42watts (dual coils).

Most of what I found to be positives and negatives have been detailed in the thread linked to previously. Offhand, the two most annoying issues are 1. Chipping of the Teflon coating for the Teflon Black version 2. Gurgling draws when juice enters the airflow tubes and settles at the bend of the airflow port. The latter can be resolved with various workarounds whereas the former cannot. PM also provides excellent customer support through FaceBook as I have never had a query left unattended to. Another minor gripe for those who desire specific serial numbers is that the box must be opened and the atomizer manually checked to verify numbers. And that when juice does overflow out of the airflow ports, some of it tends to circumnavigate the AFC ring due to surface tension and capillary action. Other than that, I can neither recommend nor dissuade. To me, the positives far outweigh the negatives. But the negatives may outweigh the positives depending on your personal vaping preferences.
Real men squonk pink
Yeah, I'm really enjoying the color. It actually looks more pink in the picture thanks to my craptastic cell phone camera. In person it's definitely more magenta as listed by Mokooo. It's amazingly light and feels good in the hand.
You know that pin goes down pretty far, you should be able to get that flush.
Edit- Well not exactly flush but there will only be a hairline of a gap. Better then nothing I guess. Your all set for breast cancer month now!

I don't care for it either but I also haven't tried to do any adjustment yet. The modder apparently claims it is meant to have a gap to keep the top of the mod from heating up. Is that true or just a smoke screen? I dunno. I might end up picking up an Origen 16 or something of that size and using a Machi ring. Or I may just rock it with the gap. Haven't decided yet.
Yeah, not sure about the whole heating up the bottom of the atty thing. Just throwing in my 
was all. Maybe they should've designed it with heat fins on it to deal with the heat or put a disclaimer for it... That or just made the top of the device thicker to handle the heat.

I don't believe that heating up thing one bit, funny how I've never seen any of these mods pictured on ECF or Facebook with gaps before this and before inswva posted his. I didn't pay as much for the mech version as the regulated ones but come on, that's BS, it should either be noted somewhere that there will be a gap or it just shouldn't be there. It's not like they were cheap by any means, I get for some it's not a problem but it looks silly and someone shouldn't have to spend more money to get a flow ring or machi to cover it up. Like the sva mod I have the catch cup goes up and isn't just flat, at least that way if there was a gap it wouldn't show.

Anyone with a Noisy Cricket can say whether I should say YAY or NAY? I was at ECC Detroit today and thought about buying one but decided not; now I see 101Vapes has them for like $19 shipped.
When you build with this mod, how low (or high) do you go?

I have 2, you want 1? I don't use them as much anymore and don't see a need for both. I normally stay above .40 but you see the cloud bros going lower which is pointless to me, around .50 is perfect with a series to me but that's also just my opinion. I read a lot of problems with the switch but I've never once had a problem. It does leave black spots on the battery contacts and the button contact as well, just a heads up.
