Still haven't found an RDA i like

[Steelgirl]

It seems like of the ones I have tried, they work better using straight up lung inhale. I like mouth to lung inhale. I don't want to sub-ohm and it seems like many of the RDAs I read about are geared more for sub-ohm builds. 1.1 up to 1.5 ohm with cotton build and mouth to lung inhale, and BIG clouds is all I really want. I'd also like to find something in the 20 or 21mm. Even a bit smaller would be ok. So many choices out there. I've bought 2 from Kidney Puncher that are probably really good for somebody else. My newest one is a Mefisto clone which I really wanted to like. But it's just like the rest, gotta lung inhale if I want a great hit. Lung inhale hurts my throat.

Any suggestions? Trying to keep budget in the $40 to $60 range (or below)

Thanks

Have you looked at the Magma?

No, have not tried Magna yet. I'll look it up. What can you tell me about it?

I'm still waiting on my Magma From what I'v read the flavour is intense the air flow is from under the coil and is great for mouth to lung inhales it also works great in single coil mode I can't wait to try mine

 

[GeorgeWachsmuth]

I have one...cant really add to what steamer has said. But, I'm not sure on the diameter.

Edit: Its 22 mm.

Magma. Infinite clone

Excellent machining, good price
Single or dual coil
deep drip well
AFC 3 hole sizes, airy to tight IMO
good flavor and vapor production
easy to build
threaded top cap, no O rings

The only con I have is that it can be a bit messy, I sometimes get juice leaking out of the air holes.

The 19mm Atomic is also a good RDA.

I started using the dragon coil last week but not a sub-ohm and I really like the amount of vapor and flavor it produces. It's easy to wick since nothing goes through the coil so changing flavors is pretty easy. 9 wraps of 28 ga on a 1/16 mandrel gives me about 1.2 ohms. I'm running a single in my Patriot right now and it is solid. Keep the drippers and play with your builds. 28 ga twist really knocks it out of the park.

Check out the 20mm Torch from Orieco (got mine from Avid... cheap and it isn't a counterfeit / clone)

I did see someone had modified their magma to increase the well size and reduce the leakage...


I would love to do this to mine, but I don't have a dremmel and my penknife skills are not that good.

 

[Steelgirl]

I think I'll give the Magma a chance. Thanks for the warning about possible drip out of air hole. I'll keep an eye on that.

You're really not going to get BIG clouds from mouth inhales no matter what the atomizer.

I make sure I use a good amount of cotton and I dont put more than 15 to 20 drops in it. Can hold up to 40 or so. Anyway....one of the driest drippers I use...

Norbert atty deep well is a perfect device for what you are looking for.

 

[Marc411]

Want one that you'll pay a little more for but really kicks .....

The Viking, best dripper I own hands down!

It does have some limitations on the builds you can use since the are holes are directly under the coil. Super deep wells.

I really like my Trident clone, bought on FT. Maybe not the best, but has two big airholes for vapor or adjustable airflow for flavor. 22 mm deck, and deep well, nice to work with. I'm not a dripping fan but keeps me satisfied

My RM2 that I use on my REO (1.7 ohm single coil) gives me big clouds with out lung inhale. Use cartotanks on Provari, but want a RDA for one of them.

X2 on the Atomic and Trident, the others I really like are the Reactor and the Cyclone. All are reduced chamber atties with great flavor and better than decent vapor production. The Reactor and Cyclone will require drilling out of the air holes to get bigger clouds but both can be had, authentic, around your price range.

I'll second the Magma and also the statement above. You're not going to get BIG clouds unless you lower the ohms and open up the airflow and possibly add more power.

Aside from that the Magma is versatile, works well with single or dual coil, has airflow choices for both, easy to build on, provides excellent flavor and can provide excellent vapor production depending on the build and airflow. I haven't had any issues with leaking once I figured how how much wicking to use.

I think OP has a different standard for big clouds than what most of us may be thinking off
