The TOBH Atty v.2, Succubus, Nami, E-Phoenix and Mad Hatter v.2 are among my most favorite. Also I like the TwistedMesses Squared (v2) more than the original.
Haven't tried Mu X v5 XL yet. How is it?

Because of fda dickheads I have been looking into RDAs that are simply built, have sturdy connections and screws. No more hex heads for me. Phillips and flats only. Fuel 2.0 ...easy to build on, big fuckin velocity deck,...great clouds, great flavor, only good capacity. Very fancy with all the air adjustment but just not my thing I guess.
Goon... Totally disappointed. Pain it the ass to build, at least for me. Hate those "clamps". Easy to over drip, good cloud production, .. Good flavor, but nothing special. Likes to get hot as shit with bigger coils. Not for me.
I am stuck on Kennedy 22 and 24. Another 22mm RDAs that I like a lot is Tactical Warhead by CC. Those are built like tanks, almost indestructible in my mind. Plenty of accessories if you like to customize and screws can be had from Titanium to hardware store grade. You can put shitload of juice into them, great flavor, great volume of vapor, easy to build as fuck. Maybe I am just old fashioned. Once I find what I like, i don't swing left and right, I hit it hard as hell instead. Those RDAs can take it as well.i believe that your RDA is as good as build that is driving it.

I'm quite liking the Lantaka rda I picked up on a whim ($55 for a pinoy rda). All the airflow I could ever want and yet the flavor is still pretty good. Also has a nice juice well that is hard to over drip with.

Also like my Goon purchase when I want an interesting build. Flavor is good for me. Really don't like the drip tip it comes with tho (got one from suckitdriptips)

Hmm I only have about a dozen but my favorite to vape is the petri v2 I got a little while ago. That said the twisted messes v1 is easily the best built, sturdiest piece of vape gear I've seen, itll be chugging along years from now without so much as replacement screws. I'll give the goon an honorable mention since it is easy to stuff fat coils into and has some pretty nice airflow.

Goon is my fav right now but I got my eyes on a recoil that will be my next purchase. I like my airflow on the goon 2 open and the recoil airflow is already set with 2 and on a angle. If anyone has a recoil let's know how you feel about it.

Anything made by CompVape. They are pretty much all classic designs. The new version of the Double Vision, the Twisted Messes 2 and the Seminole G24 probably my favourites.

NarDA. 10x over!

I also like my derringer and petri. The latter only really sings for me with some beefy coils and big power though.

One RDA that I always go back to is the El cabron, it was my first RDA but I really enjoy it.

Currently I am using a few derringers, I like those, a mad hatter, my velocities and the indestructible-I only just got that and am liking it so far.
Obviously I am not using these all at once lol, but they are what are on my mods that have RDA's on and get use.

Aeronaut is my favorite. There's just something about top and bottom airflow. So smooth and plentiful. This rda should last me til I croak. I do enjoy the Lush, Tactical Warhead, and Nobunaga. I do have my eye on the Troll 25mm tho.

I've been horribly disappointed with the magma reborn.. What build(s) have you been favoring in it?

There were a few things about the Reborn that I didn't like at first, and had contemplated trading it. I
replaced the crappy post screws that kept cutting the wire, and I am not the biggest fan of its looks. However the airflow is excellent and wide without being too airy, the flavour in my opinion is up there with the Aeolus Pro v2 and Derringer. The simple 2 post build deck with large post holes and juice well are all on point, it was one of the first 2 x post 24mm atty with bottom airflow

I build ultra low on it around .08 typically dual parallel 5 wrap 2.5mm 316L SS, I like my vape slightly hot

I forgot about a few other drippers that I really like, the hexagonal shaped steam crave RDA, the Vector with top airflow is very nice to use, there is a screen to stop spit back too, and also the fishbone is an RDA that I think is rather good-these are only my opinions though, some people may think these are awful lol.

My number one is the Recoil. Loving the flavor and the smooth air flow. Number two is probably the Goon. I picked up a Troll V2 and am really liking that one also.

I really love my jaybo indestructible, even though I hated it at first. I like my Kennedy 22 but the indestructible just kicks its ass for flavor, IMO. Something about that conical tip with airflow really enhances the flavor. The INDE duo is cool, better flavor than the Kennedy for me but that tiny juice well sucks ass.

I was disappointed with the TM1. I have a Goon & TM2 on the way, hopefully one of those can match the indestructible for flavor.

You'll like the Goon, I'm impressed with mine.

Only got 2, and both are 22mm Velocity. I need to give something else a try, I'd like at least one 24mm RDA.

I've been using an indestructible and am really liking it. I'll second the comments about the goon. Has great possibilities but pain in the ass for me to build on.

It takes a little while to get used to but it's actually the easiest deck I've ever built on, and I've built on quite a few. Literally anything within reason fits and I'll just kind of push both coils towards the center and tighten things down a bit, re-adjust then tighten it down the rest of the way.

To be fair my goon is a clone, so the clamping may just be crappy on it.

That may have something to do with it, on all the clones I've seen they don't have the bevel on the bars that really helps when your sliding coils in.

I gotta say I'm super impressed with the TM2, that thing is badass! I don't know exactly why it's so much better than the TM1 but it is. Def my favorite RDA at the moment. The goon is badass too but I like the TM2 much more.

The Gold plating makes for easy cleaning and I love brass RDA's but the main thing I cannot stand is the patina after 2-3 days...this RDA stole the Brass RDA's spot in my heart. I think I will also get the Gold Double Vision, its a 22mm Seminole, which means everything is the same except building room is 2mm smaller,, but flavor will be enhanced further)

I may do one for the Seminole.I feel its a great RDA, for building on, for flavor, and its airflow is smooth. Its hard to explain but the feeling of the air moving through it seems rounded, not obstructed or forced...its makes for a great draw.

Building on it is extremely simple...throw 2 coils in and use the 4mm screws to crush the leads into a pancake matter....they stick together when they come out...it does a nice job making sure that they both fire evenly.

The juice well is one of the biggest you will see since there is only 2 posts in it and its 6mm deep, the posts are away from the walls and arent too thick so the juice well could easily hold atleast 2ml of juice, before cotton.

O rings are especially tight but the extra set seems looser...you want to pop off the chuff/drip tip to redrip, it is wide enough to drop it through the tip also..without any issues if wanted.

Its well built, machined and very clean when I received it, comes with extra screws, orings and more.

I had the orginal release of the Seminole when they sent out samples to the store. Its really a nice RDA - my favorite of the Compvape's. Still I love my Petri V2 and my Tugboat V1.5. I love my NarDA and my Phenotype L. So many good RDAs. I also am a fan of the Limitless and the Subzero. I have too many RDAs and not enough enough mods. I don't use my Velocity since I stuck the Doge V2 on my Cricket. I rarely use my Troll 2 even though its really good. I rotate my 13/9 and El cabron and my Double vision. I don't even use the original TM any more. I find I'm using RTAs more and more. The Limitless Plus, Avocado 24, the Serpent mini, the Mage.

I want to get the Goblin V3 to test. I want to try the Magma Reborn. I have yet to try the new Baal V3 - loved the original. But then I would need to buy even more mods!! I promised myself to only buy two more this year. I want the Rig Pig with Roughneck and I want the Castigator x with a Fodi Enushi Edition. Then I'm done. Seriously.

Mage and Tornado Nano are winners for sure!

I get to try the Limitless tomorrow! Ordered the Recoil Rda also

goon, subzero, kennedy 24 w/ battlecap24, battle deck/cap, baal v3, succubus, underground, petri, anything made from compvape... favorite is probably the goon though, its the one i use the most. not a huge bottom air fan but the few i mentioned are pretty good, i prefer subzero over kennedy in the bottom air game, it had better option and doesnt get as hot because of hot the pin is designed and if you got the shorty all the better.
edit: ill ad mutation v3 cause it fits complyfe caps which opens up your options to use a 4post over the 3 post battle deck though i like a nice 3 post deck.
