Ok so i am in the market for another RDA. I got lucky and scored a used Origen dripper in the classifieds a few weeks ago. Without knowing much about it i just bought it. I later watched reviews and read up on it to find that it is a highly used RDA. Once i received it and starting using it, WOW! I was all about dripping and ever since have been using it 24/7 while my Kayfuns sit and collect dust.. I am not back to dripping and cannot believe the flavor it puts out!

With that said, I am in the market for another RDA. I have owned all the typical RDAs already and really find nothing exciting about them. I am more about the flavor then i am the clouds. I have watched videos and read reviews and my choice has come down to 3 RDAs

Origen v2 ( just released )
Zenitth v2 ( being released in the next week or so )
Immortalizer

Now i already own a Origen v1 that i favor over everything that i have owned and it provides the BEST flavor and vapor IMO. The juice wells it has are a nice add-on bonus also.

Between all the videos and reviews i have seen, I am stuck on which of these 3 RDAs will provide the best "flavor".

The Origen v2 and Zenith v2, even though they just came out, can be compared to the V1's since there pretty much the same ( well almost )

The only things i can come up with are..

Origen V2
I already own a v1 so do i really need another one?
The v2 has a even smaller chamber, Which could mean even MORE flavor?

Zenith v2
I have grown bored of the typical 3 post, dual air hole RDAs and have owned IGO's, Patriot, Nimbus, Omega. Will the Zenith be the same as these?
The slotted posts and welded post design are not the selling point for me, Its the reduced chamber and that delrin top cap. Though will these 2 things alone make it stand out from the usual 3 post RDAs out there?

Immortalizer
Bottom air fed devices are known for flavor ( like the Kayfun ) and with its small chamber i can only imagine it has awesome flavor...
The ceramic discs though cannot be found anywhere in-stock in the U.S. from the retailers that carry them ( incase i ever need a replacement )

So with that said, Which of the 3 would you suggest? and any input or advice on these 3 ONLY would be great.

Thanks

Immortalizer,without a dought.

I have this(real Immo.,not clone) and use it on a daily basis as my go to RDA,and for testing all of my DIY juices,and the flavor it produces is extremely STELLAR.

EDIT: You can get the replacement ceramic discs from electronicstix usually about every two weeks apart,from when they are out of stock,to in stock again.

Out of those 3 I'd go with the Origen. I've had a immo clone and the flavor didn't really knock my socks off. I have a Quasar and it's very similar to the zenith (domed and reduced chamber, cyclops air holes). The flavor and vapor production is insane. But I went with that instead of a Origen/Magma because I didn't want a large atty.

The one I would go with that's not on your list is the magma. It's really similar to the origen but it's got a few features I liked more than on the origen. Like a domed chamber, air holes under the coil, and post holes instead of wrapping the wire under a nut.

I hope the original Immortalizer is better than the clone. It's like trying to suck a golf ball through a garden hose. I need to drill out the holes on the bottom base.

I have not used the clone but I can assure you,and many others,the original Immortalizer is stellar on flavor.The airflow while not an airy draw,is not like sucking a golf ball thru a garden hose.

That's cool. I get plenty of flavor with my Trident, ERA, Helios, Caliber, and Cyclone AFC, all originals. I just prefer side airflow.

I enjoy my Helios(original)also but usually cloud chasing with that one,just kicked back at home relaxing.
Bro ! I just fixed that stupid Immortalizer clone. Inside the aluminum base the air holes were humped, and were forming a seal. The airflow was restricted. I opened the holes to 1.10 mm and sanded the inside of that base. Much better now ! No more golf ball syndrome. :D

Having owned all three of the suggested, I think I can chime in here.

I like clouds, but I love flavor. For me, a cloud machine is just a gimmick if the flavor isn't superb.

Of the three, I currently only have one left.

The Origen.

It is for me without a doubt the best in regards to both clouds AND flavor. Flavorwise it beat the others by a long shot.

For you guys voting for the Origen-- do you build vertical or horizontal coils in those?

OP-- dont discount the atomic. Very small chamber and flavor is great. Helios is also really good- the dual positive post makes it the simplest to build, but aside from that it is a very flavorful vape.

Ive got a Zenith V2 on the way... cant wait. Oh and i also gotta get an Origen... And a... and a... :)

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

The Magma looks VERY interesting actually. I never really paid any attention to this RDA. Air flow from the bottom and has juice wells like the Origen. I think i might add this one to the list. So now its 4, lol.

I have read a few reviews of the new Origen v2 and people are saying that its really no improvement. The SS walls aren't as thick as the v1 so even though the chamber has been reduced, Since the thickness of the steel isn't that of the v1, The flavor is pretty much the exact same. Once again this was someones opinion so.. I like the way the juice well is designed into 1 well though.

Maybe i will put the Origen v2 to the back of my list since i already own a v1. The Immo can be easily found and always pop up used. I think i might start off with hunting down a Zenith or Magma and trying one of those 2 first, If worst comes to worst and i don't like either, I am sure they will sell for what i paid since there not that easy to get ahold of.

I never really looked into the Magma but after watching a video, I really like the air coming from under the coil.

So from the 4 i will start with a Zenith or Magma and take it from there.

Hands down Origin V1...I have it and it puts out flavor with vertical dual coils and SS mesh wick. I am looking at getting the Magma because it's suppose to surpass origin in flavor. We will see because the Origin will be hard to beat flavor wise.

Todd reviews said vicious ant Cyclone is the best small dripper for flavor. I may look at it too.

Going to follow this thread as ive been waiting for a new list on Vaporwall for the Origen (now for the V2 obviously), and also very interested in the Zenith V2. Dont really like the 20mm on the Immortalizer, prefer 22mm.

I own a Patriot and 2 Trident clones (FT). Pretty happy with the Patriot, especially flavor wise. How would you guys rate the Patriot against the Origen and the Zenith?

Rip totally blew the Origen for flavor..

so after about 5 days of using the origen v2 with different builds, i do have to say that the v2 is pretty much equal to v1 in terms of flavor. however, the fact that is holds double the juice in the wells than v1 makes it worth it to me. i'm thinking of selling my v1, but i like having the v1 in single coil 18350 mode for my fruity juices

+1 for origen. build is top notch, offers tons of flexibility in terms of builds and airflow, looks absolutely sexy, 1.1 ml drip well (v2).
