Stillare, plumeveil igo w are all good starter rda's some people with argue this but they are easy to build on. The stillare and plumeveil have more airflow options. Watch Ruby Roo's stillare video and Rip Trippers plumeveil review

Are you familiar with battery safety, ohms laws, amp limitations? Are you going to be using your RBA on a regulated mod?

I like the Odin by Loki Lab a lot. It's inexpensive compared to other authentic RDAs, it's easy to build, it has deep wells to hold a lot of juice, it has cyclops-style airflow control, and it's a solid performer (some people think that the flavor is better than the Origen). My only gripe with it is the logo, and that's a purely aesthetic concern.
I don't think the OP is asking about drippers. 
Kayfun all the way bay-beeee! Clones can be had on EBay for $30. I personally like those made by Tobeco. I have a Kayfun "mini" on the way.

You're absolutely right, I didn't notice. Nonetheless, I think that an RDA is the way to go for someone who is new to RBAs. I think that the builds are easier and one has to worry less about wicking issues. I think the KFL is a great RBA, but a nice RDA like some of those listed or a cheap IGO-L (my first RDA) is the way to go for a newb.
Yes, we know you dripper enthusiasts think it's for everyone, but it's not. I tried it, and my dripper has been sitting in the cigar box for the last 10 months. I did the whole dual microcoil and cotton thing and I just didn't care for it at all.
I'll take my RSST with a mesh wick over any dripper anytime. I can vape for hours on it without having to constantly drip more juice into it and I can vape and drive with it all I want. Hassle free vaping.

I suggested that someone new to rebuildable atomizers start with an RDA not because they'll like it better, but because I think that it's easier for a newbie to learn the ropes on an RDA instead of a Genesis (at least it was for me). I think that it's easier to first work with silica, Ekowool, or cotton in a single coil in an RDA with a large deck instead of with SS mesh in a genny, but perhaps some people are more advanced or are up for a challenge on their first attempt.
I'm not sure why you're calling me a dripper enthusiast (I guess I am, although I use and enjoy other RBAs like the KFL a lot more) or why you "know" that I think it's for everyone (which I don't). I find your presumptuous statement directed at me to be a tad offensive and uncalled for.

Well I was five weeks into vaping and using ego stuff and a Protank when I bought my first mech, which was shortly followed by my first genesis RBA. I learned to make mesh wicks in very short order and coil them right. I was amazed at how great a vape I got, and it wasn't that hard, so if you are assuming people can't deal with genesis RBA's or anything but a dripper it's a rather broad assumption.
I think the truth is that drippers are your thing, and you think they should be everyone's thing, because they are your thing. I've been on this site for over 13 months now, and every time someone posted about getting their first RBA all the dripping fanatics piled onto the thread and pushed drippers at the OP, even when that's not at all what they were looking for.
What's up with that?

I'm guilty of sharing my solicited opinion and thinking that some people may find RDAs easier to build then Genesis atomizers because that was my experience. I don't think that my opinion is better than anyone else's or that it applies to everyone.
I hope that you become good at building and enjoy using rebuildable atomizers EKat. There are definitely lots of good options. I'm glad to have gone down that path to be more self sufficient, to no longer have to search for and buy disposables, and to be able to make a great performing and tasting vape.

If you're planning to go the kanthal and cotton route, I'd really recommend Taifun GTs. Really easy to set up and because of its design that when you unscrew it, the juice tank is separated from the coil section, you could easily recoil a full tank without having to siphon the juice out.
Three words............... Kayfun lite plus!
If you like a lot of airflow, try the Aqua

Yep. I've yet to find anything close to this. (But the Aspire BVC's are a move in that direction though. Good hassle-free performance).
But honestly... the same juice tastes "different" in every tank you put it in. Too many influencing factors. That's my experience anyway. The key is once you find something that you thoroughly enjoy, resist all the hype to "fix it".
GP Spheroid by Vapourart - easy to build; 16mm holds 2-3ml juice; won't leak ever; best flavor by account of most people who own a Spheroid + anything else; Vapourart stands behind everything they put out
The Taifun GT is a good choice due to the convenience of not having to empty the tank to re-wick or re-coil. It is 23mm diameter though, so on mods like the Nemesis (22mm) it will be slightly larger. The Kayfun Lite+ is a great choice as well. It sits flush on 22mm mods. There is a slight learning curve on wicking, but with all the great videos out there (PBusardo has a really good one) it isn't as difficult as it may seem. I run a Kayfun Lite on a Nemess with a single 28g micro coil and cotton yarn (Peaches and Cream from Walmart) at 1.2ohm. Outstanding flavor, simple to build and re-wick plus there are a TON of parts/upgrades for it.
