RDA Recommendation similar to Magma

[aheatedatom]

I have a magma clone and really like the performance and design- but not at all a fan of the threaded top cap.

Can anyone recommend something very similar? Was interested in the Holmes but that appears to be discontinued.

You can still get cloned Holmes.

Most with air under coil (rather than on the side) should be comparable. Like the Freakshow.

Thanks Javyn!

I've googled Holmes rda and Holmes rda clone and only found out of stock - have you happened to have seen it in stock in the US anywhere?

I like that it seems to have much more space in the well than the freakshow, and i Like the two post design. But I will consider the freakshow..

I have a Freakshow mini, and don't like it. Air holes way too big which lead to leaking. Never used a Holmes, but they are on Fasttech. Honestly the Magma is perfection for me even with the annoying threaded dome and spinny AFC ring.

Spiny afc is easily fixed with an o ring in the grooves under it... kind of looks like it should have came with one there

And if you love the magma get done piercing needles and dremel them off so the air channels have a lip. Easy fix and then you can drip in the drip tip and the liquid on the deck won't run straight down the air holes.

...or syringe needles, probably? Do you know what gauge is needed? I already have some 14ga and 18ga needles for DIY around here somewhere. And how about the size on that o-ring? I might toss in a pack on my next FastTech order.

 

[SLvapor]

i cant give an exact for the o ring.. I used a spare kayfun4 with a little dental floss perfect resistance imo. One sec and I'll find the needle sizes (one in pic doesn't have the needles in)

"Kudos to all the previous suggestions! Piercing needles are 10g (2.5mm OD)

"
*Not my pictures. Copy pasta'd

I used the same piercing needles.. not sure how they would convert to syringe sizes. This guy also dremeled his juice chamber a bit.

The "Dogbone" with some info below is excellent and the Veritas is the best flavor RDA i have used to date . The Marquis is outstanding as well for flavor.

The Vengeance is the new Magma but not so new anymore , great for flavor and priced right at 101 vape , like $6.00 or $7.00.

The Dogbone RDA by iHybrid mods is the big brother to the Veritas. If you like the Veritas, but want a 26650 version – the Dogbone is for you. The airflow and build deck is like a doubled version of the Veritas. The designed is mirrored on each side. Its still hard to build on, but its quite nice when you figure it out. The other cool thing here is that dual builds make more sense here. You will have excellent vapor production as well since you’re able to double what you can do on the Veritas. Quad coiling is possible here as well as there are 4 negative connection screws in the base. Perfect for 26650 users.

Here's a writeup on the Holmes:

The Holmes RDA by Cigreen is one of the biggest surprises I’ve seen this year. This thing follows the tradition of the “flavor designs” like the one’s mentioned above, but at a fraction of the price. Its impressively machined for this price point and the flavor competes with the Veritas and Magma. I really like this – a nice surprise on the market. Its got a fin design for cooling on the top cap. The vapor production is warm and tasty. The airflow control is outstanding and gives you a lot of options. I really like this device. Even if you already own one of the above, the Holmes is worth a try. If you’re on a budget – this is the one to get. The flavor is just as good as any of the more expensive devices here.

I don't see vengeance at 101 vape- is that the one you meant?

I'm bummed that holmes is only available when shipped from China.

 

[javyn]

FWIW, I get most everything from China through Fasttech. Aside from long waiting times, never had a problem.

If that's the type you are interested in, check out the Aeolus. Very highly thought of atomizer.
