My N22 and Lancia have similar air flow to my Magma. The N22 is easier to use for me because there is no air flow control ring to slide around and you don't have to unscrew the top cap. The Lancia is very pretty with its glass tank. Makes it is easy to see your drops and avoid over dripping. The Holmes has underneath air flow, but the air intake port is raised, so it can handle lots more juice than a Magma without leaking.

I'm actually starting to prefer top air flow RDAs because they don't leak through the air holes like the Magma can. The Rogue, Lethal, and Venturi are all great top air flow RDAs that produce flavor equal to the Magma in my opinion. They all have smaller chambers than the Magma and give me a more concentrated flavor.

I like my two Plume Veil clones. It's a smallish RDA and the flavor on it is outstanding. The only thing I can really compare it to is my Mephisto; the flavor seems better on the Plume Veils. Even running the Plume on a single coil instead of dual, the flavor is outstanding and I have zero complaints on the vapor production either!

Next on my "get" list - the Magma.

Hobo v2 clone. Small chamber, plenty of airflow. This RDA is just super easy to build on once you unscrew the chamber walls. Put it all together and it can easily hold 10 drops on EACH side of the chamber.

My Igo-L, Tobh, A7, etc. are all just sitting in a drawer.

510 Pin sits out far enough for us Hybrid mech users.

Magma was my second RDA and I knew as soon as I starting using it that it wasn't going to be a good fit for me, but I'm an over-dripper so... None of the bottom air feed RDA's work for me, except maybe the N22.

I don't want to be a bandwagoneer but the Vertex V2 really does give great flavor. Much sharper and clearer than most other RDA's it's size. I've been running a derringer through it's paces this past week and for such a small RDA is is surprisingly easy to build on and makes some great flavored steam. Although, it is tiny so I end up dripping about every 3-4 toots so I don't dry out my cotton.

If you're looking to drop epic amounts of money the marquise also hits great, throws excellent clouds, has great flavor and can hold "gallons" of juice. Plus, it's a dream to build vertical coils or chimneys. Only significant drawback is the $140 price tag. I know the clones are out but I would rather support the creators for such an innovative design.

My favorite RDA is the quicksilver by 2P. It's ancient in the RDA world (>4 months), but it has nice clean lines, hits well and has a completely removable deck that sits like a bridge over a juice well that is big enough to smuggle people across the border. Sadly, it's a hard-to-find RDA, though I hear good stuff about the clone.

The geyser absolutely chucks vapor but other than that I like it mostly because I think "geyser" is a funny word.

However, there are almost as many RDA's as there are opinions about which is best, so to give real advice we need to know what you want. I imagine you're a flavonerd because the magma does put out great flavor despite it's leakiness. I think someone mentioned the lancina, which looks good, hits good and only leaks when you use it (and also when you're not using it).

I used this poll around the new year and folks had good stuff to say so you might find some valuable insights in here:

Good luck and welcome to the ECF. Keep vapin' and I'll see you on the threads.

When I really want to savor and enjoy my vape time, I have 2 go to RDA's. The Vertex V2 and the Tugboat V2. 4 wrap dual Tiger coils, .3 ohm builds on each of them.

I go back and forth between which one I like better. That Vertex V2 is hard to beat for both flavor and clouds. Pretty leak proof as far as RDA go and it's an easy build. Zero annoyances. Great airflow, favor for days, one of the best I own hands down.

Tugboat V2 (or drilled our V1) can do no wrong in my boat. Easy to build on, solid connections, deep well, fantastic flavor, respectable clouds. There are a dozen RDA's that should deliver what the Tugboat V2 does but can't for reasons beyond me. I've yet to put a bad build in it. So simple yet so good. Enjoy this a great deal.

I can get rid of a dozen RDA's, all of my mech mods, keep these 2 RDA's and a hex ohm 20 amp and I'd perfectly happy.
