Whats the best clone RDA for new builders? Big bore and flavor chasing.

I'm also going to jump on the Tugboat wagon.
Incredibly easy to build on, good sized juice well.

Leans more to a 50/50 split between flavor/clouds. Magma has it beat on flavor, less clouds. Mutation has it beat on clouds, less flavor.

Well said and good description from my experience. The Tugboat has been around quite awhile and it tried and true. I'm gonna snag a Mutation soon but love what I've see and hit on.

For flavor and ease of build you really can't beat the Magma or Hobo v2.1. Magma is great for a single coil build, but if you are looking for an easy dual coil build for flavor with a deep drip well the Hobo has it beat in my book. Both are in my weekly rotation, but the hobo is my goto just because it needs to be dripped less often.

Remember to touch the leads of your Fluke together, then take that reading and subtract it from your build reading. Mine us usually about .2 ohms.

I just noticed you were looking for wide-bore as well as flavor.
Typically, that cuts down on flavor but noticeably increases vape production, with the added benefit of cooling the vape down.

If you're not 100% sure on what you're aiming for, I wouldn't suggest a wide-bore atty out of the gate.
What you could do is get a standard cap atty, remove the top cap, and install a Chuff style tip so you can use both standard and wide-bore at your leisure.

I still recommend the Tugboat.
This is mine with a wide-bore top:


It's very easy to switch it back to standard when I want more flavor.

of all the ones mentioned so far, which one never leaks?

I seen to have a knack for making any atomizer leak! - I must have bad leak karma! - lol

That's pretty hard to avoid with a dripper, to be honest.
The air holes in the chamber are typically where a bit will leak out of, especially if you top off the juice well.
A good rule of thumb is just saturating the wick(s), not flooding the well.
None of them really leak much when you vape, unless it's at an extreme angle.

I keep mine standing up unless I vape it dry first. Then it's fine sideways, or even upside down in my pocket.

Im going to be using a box and now that someone linked me to the steam engine, I'll be using that

How about the Darkhorse or the Tugboat clones?

Yes....to dark horse. I know a lot of vendors that prefer it for their own personal use and I rather like mine too. I am also fond of the geyser.

Oh wait I almost forgot the freak show! Its an authentic that is very affordable at under 30 bucks at origin vape. It looks bigger than it is, as the deck goes up really high into the top cap, and the cap has a cap so you can put a wide bore cap in there. Great flavor due to the small chamber and wide bore.

I agree on Tugboat for sure. Love Mutation X and Dark Horse. Got the Mutation X last night and I'm in love LOL

Big bore and flavor really don't fit in the same sentence. You want big bore for the cloud, but you need to reduce the space inside there for flavor. Look at what Avid has done inside the Marquis for example.
I use an A7 for flavor chasing. It's 11mm bore is only half the size of most drippers. I actually had to reduce the amount of flavoring I put in my liquids, but you couldn't blow a decent cloud with it if you tried.

My Dark horse has great flavor and I can chuck some huge clouds with it with 0.15 ohm dual zipper coils. I have to use my IPV3 at at least 120 watts, won't work very well on a mech mod.
