The Achilles clone might be perfect for you , easy build , single coil flavor atty , it holds 2.5mls and it doesn't leak , if you need more airflow than the Achilles , you might consider a Veritas .... for an RDA with a deep well. It doesn't have to take large coils - I don't really sub-ohm, but I'm also lazy. Would like something I don't have to drip into every 4 or 5 puffs.Thanks.

Thanks - the Veritas is something I have been looking at - didn't know how deep a well it has though. The achilles does look as though it doesn't have much airflow, but I will have a look at it as well.
The well on the Veritas is fairly deep , I haven't measured it but if I had to venture a guess , I'd say 1.5mls . Still well above average and it doesn't leak either , it's a pretty versatile atty . Yup the airflow on the Achilles is tight , it's strictly a MTL flavor atty but it's an easy build and it has a huge capacity . Gotta add , the Veritas has excellent flavor as well , it's my primary sampling atty .
The Veritas is ok... and the airflow can be shut pretty tightly, just leaving a *sliver* of the airhole showing. It can be used for either single or dual coils, either horizontal or vertical coils, but the design lends itself beautifully to vertical coils, even single-vertical. The well is pretty deep, and I'm told that it takes a lot to make it leak.
All that said, I think the flavor and tight draw is better in the Magma, and it has a deep well too, but... if you fill it too full, like over half, it *will* leak. The AFC ring spins around too easily, unless you put a spare o-ring under it; then, it stays put very nicely even when screwing/unscrewing the top cap.
I'm planning on trying that Achilles myself very soon.

The Veritas needs to be pushed harder than the Magma or the Achilles to get the best results IMO . Something you're not in a position to do or something the OP might not be willing to do either . I originally built the Veritas with a 1.2 ohm single coil and the results were just " OK " , dropped down to a .7 ohm single and the results were outstanding on my mechs . The Veritas needs more wattage than the other two to shine .
I think I can do 0.7ohm or 0.8ohm without blowing my house up. (You probably don't know my story.
) 0.8ohm is what I have currently on my Kayfun4
Since I primarily use mechs , subohm comes with the territory . Didn't know if you use a mech or regulated , but the Veritas shouldn't present you with any problems . I do know that Andria has health issues that prevent her from pushing the Veritas to peak performance so the Achilles is probably a better choice for her .I think I can do 0.7ohm or 0.8ohm without blowing my house up. (You probably don't know my story.
Yeah, I could just use my regular 1.5Ω coils and push up the wattage, now that I have a couple of iStick30s, but I think it might be too hot/too much vapor for me to deal with.
I just ordered an Achilles, in fact, when my husband came home and told me that the $100 windfall he'd been expecting turned into a $200 windfall. Just got back from getting him a new toy... er I mean TOOL... a "pole saw"... extendible chainsaw thing for cutting limbs off trees -- and the $100 Marine Corps coin he'd been wanting, he found on ebay for $50. Now we're about to go shopping again, but this time using the Kohl's giftcard I got for my birthday.

Figured I would chime in. My new favorite rda is the Lycan from Cigreen. It is highly underated. 4 post design, side and under coil airflow. Competition style stainless drip tip. I could go on. It out performs my mutation x v3 by leaps and bounds (airflow and flavor),and most reviews show it out performing the mutation v4. Vapordna has it for 34.95 for the authentic, and it is now available in black maybe next month lol. It is easy to build on and I don't know what else to say other than for the price it is hard to go wrong.
edit
forgot it does have a massive juice well, and I currently put a .23 dual parallel build on it and it is chucking clouds.
