so i need a new rda to replace my IGO M. i was looking around and whats its come down too is those two, ive also thought of the trident. i want vapor, i want an airy flow i want to blow HUGE clouds, i love the vapor when you get all of it in your lungs first thing in the morning it gives you a light headed feeling from all that nicotine. im ordering from fasttech so if anyone has had experience with these three and or knows exactly what im looking for please provide a link or let me know what it is. thanks guys, who know picking the right rda would be such a challenge.

Personal opinion: I purchased the plume veil....and am now trying to get away from it. I don't want to name and shame, honestly most distributors are probably getting these clones from the same places initially. The build quality was horrible and I am currently trying to return it and at the very least exchange it. For me, personally I did not enjoy it because it seemed to work best on serious sub ohm builds. It gave flavor and a cool vape at those levels where other RDA's would fail. It could not suffice at a higher ohm for me with the draw and flavor that I was looking for. If you enjoy cloud chasing...this is for you, but you will sacrifice flavor.

There's a lot of air control with the plume veil. I don't own one, but maybe someone can help you out. People are dead set on it being the best..

Magma only considered better for capacity and if you mod it for larger air flow.. which is easy, but hard to get a slot directly under coil.. more like perpendicular to it..still works fine though. Edit- but most people getting into rebuilding might not need huge amounts of airflow. Magma is great as it is..you will not be disappointed with it.

That is good to know. You are right, there is quite the 'hype train' going along with this mod. So far either way though, almost any setup I ran was not to my liking. I am sure there is some way to set it up, but sometimes when you are on the go it is not so fun to adjust 3 different air holes just to get the exact vape you enjoy. I think I have been spoiled by my IGO-W. That thing hits like a truck, produces awesome flavor and vapor with the side holes drilled to 3mm. I just pull the top, drip, and replace it - simple!

I like blowing clouds just as much as the next guy...but I am getting to the point now that I am preferring more flavor than HUGE clouds. I have heard nothing but good things about the magma so far, and from what I have heard as well - if you are getting a clone, grab the Infinite version. Everything I have read so far has settled that it is 1:1 spot on. I am seriously considering an IVP2 50W with a magma.:D

As others have said, these two RDA's cannot really be compared. It depends on what you are looking for: Clouds that change the weather and Good Flavor (Stillare) or Clouds that change the humidity and amazing flavor.

Thats a pretty good breakdown.

One thing that doesent get mentioned much with the Magma is that it is a snap to build and wick (correctly).

It isnt to say there arent some nuances to it, but they are very easy to figure out.

The flipside IMO is that if you want to mess around with a lot of different build styles you may find the magma pretty limiting.

so whats better the plumeveil or stillare
The plume veil is made very well, probably due to the posts being separate, allowing for better contact with no interference with the other coil. Not to mention the way the airflow is done. It would seem there would be a conflict on this though given the angles. *shrug*
