I am just curious about what other people are using and why they like it. I started dripping about a month ago and love it! These are my current setups...
left to right- trident v2 clone, igo-w, smok caterpillar, igo-m, gaia

My favorite rda has to be my little igo-w, works great, its cheap, and easy to drill the holes out. It was my first rda, and is still my #1.
The gaia is awesome, super deep well, AFC, and nice build quality.

Since I started dripping I have noticed that there are so many different rda's it's insane! Sooo... what do you guys use/like?

I just got an Orijen today (v1) as part of a package from the classies and I have to say, it's pretty amazing. Even with a 1ohm single microcoil the vapor production is outstanding and the flavor is good too. I have 2 Dripper Pros, a few Igo-Ws, a Brass Monkey (not a clone), a Forge clone, and have had a Patriot clone and a Nimbus clone and this is far far better than any of them. I'm impressed.

So far it is the IGO W series. I also have an L but its' just to small and a Trident clone which has crappy wire screws. The w is Easy to work with and not expensive. I do however have a HCigar MEGA RDA 28MM. They have a bigger work area = more room for wick and coils and they look better on my Copper Hades and Seven 22 mod.

that origen looks sweet, those wells are awesome. might have to try to dig some in my igo lol. wish i had heard of that dripper pro when i had a provari :facepalm:. so which did you like the most then, the nimbus?

I have several. Tough to pick just one; but I guess my favorite is my Quasar.

how low do you build in the quasar? just wondering if the air hole size limits your builds at all

Does the igo l have better flavor than the w? I have wanted to buy one to test out, just haven't got around to it. do you have any pics of your giant dripper or the igo on the hades. i always thought it would be awesome to have a hades with an igo-s on it :cool:.

So far a patriot clone.

I just ordered another patriot clone, never got my last one to work properly so I sold it.

I would say in order
#1Helios Excellent flavour and vapour production Easy to build
#2Atomic Excellent flavour and vapour production Easy to build
#3Trident v2 Excellent flavour and vapour production not so Easy to build
#4Omega Excellent flavour and vapour production not so Easy to build stupid holes low on the deck
The Atomic would #1 if the deck was bigger you can only put a few drops on at a time and have to continually drip it :( It's a PIA
Bottom Feed RDA's it's a tie RM2 and Cyclone I can't decide witch I like better both are really good :)

My favorite (in my limited experience) is my Zenith by Crescent Moon. Here's why:

Adjustable airflow from nil to as open as you can handle, for single, or dual/quad coil.
Side posts are welded to the deck making a stronger connection.
Posts are slotted with Allen set screws which makes using ribbon wire easy.
Delrin insulator in the top cap that prevents the drip tip from heating up, even while chain-vaping sub-ohm builds.
Excellent machining and beautiful finish with choice of trim color included (brass, steel or black).

If I was to start with a bottom feeder style I might go with the Origen. Heard lots of good things about them and that deep well would have to make over "skwonking" less of a messy issue.

My meager collection in order:

My Magma RDA has been my favorite. Best flavor with incredible vapor production. My build is a dual coil using twisted 28ga to come out to 0.30 ohms. The large juice well has definitely been one of the points I like most about the Magma.

My second favorite is my Omega clone. Once I figured out how to properly coil and wick it, it's a beast with the 3mm air holes wide open. I have this currently built to 0.5 ohms with a dual coil using twisted 30ga wire.

The RDA I'm still trying to master is my Trident clone. I drilled the big single airhole and the dual coil air holes to 5/64. I get great flavor using the dual coil 30ga twisted that I used for the Omega, but the draw is still tight. I'm experimenting with different wicking set ups so the air flow will open up a bit more.

The Veritas is my favorite for right now. I can't beat the flavor with my Atomic or Helios although its not a ridiculous difference in flavor. The best thing about it is that it won't leak in my pocket or if I lay it down and it holds a crazy amount of juice for a dripper I do about 20 - 25 drops at a time.
Still waiting on the Zenith V2 I ordered tho so can't compare it. Waiting on vapemail is the worst
