RDA TIRED of this leaky magma!

[edyle]

I've put the o-ring on top of the airflow ring, did the 12guage needle syringe fix, I never drip from the drip tip hole, always unscrew the whole top off... very careful to never over fill. Maybe half way up the well. I don't even lift it off the desk when I hit it. just keep it level and upright all the time.
Thing still leaks all over the place. I'VE HAD IT. My desk is constantly covered in paper towels with juice all over them.

I hate having to drip juice every few hits. Someone PLEASE recommend something with a deep well that doesn't constantly leak all over the place!

That's because you're using dual coil.

I plugged up one of the airholes on my magma with foil, and the other airhole is what I keep facing upwards when I lay it down.
I drip through the drip tip no problem; I just tilt it so the dripping doesn't fall on the airhole.

But I use my veritas most; it has only 1 airhole to begin with.

Not once actually. I've always used a single coil build.

But I've not thought to plug that extra port. Thanks!

Veritas for the win. As long as I don`t overfill it, I can lay it on its side and roll it over the table top, no problems. And the air intake is far enough away from the coils it does`nt spit juice out like every other RDA I have.

Only issue it has is I don`t want to build it below half ohm due to that insulator issue (gotta find some Bakelite I guess). I would really like to try it at .3 or so, :?(
If you build higher, its a jem and I love that I don`t have to baby it with paper towels.

Gonna get a Marquise as soon as I can, short-short list and all that, :?)

I love my magma. it does not ever leak for me unless I overfill it. no modifications other than no afc ring.

I'm still praising my veritas which I use daily on a regulated device--usually build around 1-2 ohms. In some ways it is more versatile than the marquis because you can build a single coil horizontally across the airflow for amazing flavor. And yeah, it doesn't leak ever.

The only issue i have with mine is that bottom o-ring that gets pretty chewed up.

Condensation builds under the AFC ring and it weeps for me too. Not a big deal, and I always have a rag with me while dripping anyway. Whether it's a Plume, or TOBH or Mut X, I have yet to use a truly mess free dripper.

Agreed. All the ones I have are messy to a degree which is why I only drip while at home. Occasionally I bring the magma to work cause its just a little weepy in my experience.

Right. I suppose if I was more mobile with my drippers it would be an issue, but I'm not. That's what RTAs are for And even then, those leak too a lot of the time. Nature of the beast.

Veritas is the answer to the leaking dripper problems. It holds close to the same as a magma. And the only way to make it leak. Is to either fill it past the air hole. Or turn it upside down so the juice comes out the drip tip. No need to carry a rag. Best travel dripper I have used. And it has great flavor with respectable clouds. Leaking drippers are a waste of juice. But these are just my two cents. Time to go rebuild my veritas clone from fastech. The 1:1 version as they say. Its worth the price all day and night.
