No need to pay $24.00+ , i bought the 1:1 FT version based on reviews , when i got it i couldn't believe the quality so i bought another , both are excellent.
It's around $15.00 and change and most have commented that the FT 1:1 is by Infinite.

Yeah, i am real careful with FT stuff , unless i see great reviews (that are recent) i usually hold off but the 1:1 version got a ton of very positive reviews so i took a chance and wasn't disappointed.
They make a lot of versions but i usually go with the 1:1 , the larger versions do interest me though because some do look identical with a larger well for more juice .
Now the Veritas models are very different , with the Veritas , unless you go with the 1:1 you will get a much shorter and shallower well which is very unlike the original. I got the 1:1 with that one as well (only $8.00 and change) and it's been great .

I'm still trying to get the perfect build for it, but dual 1.6 ohm coils seems pretty good. My next try will be fatter wire and more turns, but still dual and aiming for similar 0.8 to 0.9 ohms overall.
I bought 2 and am about to buy 2 more, lol! Don't care who makes it - it's a good 'un

DUDE!!!!! I NEEED THIS!!!!!!!!!
I approve of the Big Buddha. Absolutely heavenly.
I picked up an orchid about 2 weeks ago and love it, I still prefer dripping attys but this is by far the best RBA I've used great post setup made for dual coils and nice juice channels, the airflow holes are great and once you get the wicking right it never clogs up or gives you dry hits, I can chain smoke it and always have a good flavorful hit
Origen, magma, and veritas are my faves. Tobeco makes the Origen and veritas, FT 1:1 magma.
I also really like my trident and anima clone.
And I've got my eye on the big dripper clone. Maybe the plume veil or dark horse too.
Anyone know how the orchid compares to the aqua? I have an aqua and wonder if the orchid is much different.

You said it exactly. Get the Orchid wicks right, which is easy, and it is soooooo consistent, like a Kayfun except half the draw effort and twice the hit. I think the key to the great performance is, because the coils are so close to the deck and juice channels, the wicks can be really short, just long enough to reach the channel openings. With the juice source so close, no wonder the vape approaches dripper quality.
BTW, a perfectly set up Taifun GT benefits from the same short distance. Those who swear by them have mastered their trickier wicks to get the full benefit. By comparison, IMO, Orchid wicking is practically carefree.

Wow, i like the sounds of that .
Looks like a huge exaggeration when you bold what I wrote, and subjectively not really true. However, 2 x coils, 2 x juice channels, and 2 x air vents are not subjective. Y'all can estimate the results for yourself.

I don't have a BB but have thought about it. Comparing the two decks I have a hard time seeing how BB could outperform Orchid. A lot more build space to work with, but half the juice channels and less direct wicking.

I don't have the mod so i rely on what others tell me about it who have first hand experience with it . To you, you may feel that it does perform like that so your comment about it would not be off base .
If you never tried it but commented about it anyway due to how it looked and it's features then i wouldn't put nearly as much cred into it but thats not the case.
Every person is going to have a slightly different view about it's performance anyway and i doubt any will be exactly alike.
Whats the point of being dishonest or to over exaggerate anyway , you know people are going to try it and either somewhat agree or say your way off .
Best to tell it like it is good and bad , i think people appreciate no BS reviews and besides , it doesn't take long to figure out dishonesty and the person being dishonest for whatever reason will quickly become irrelevant .
I enjoy everyones viewpoint , nobody should be discouraged to post theirs.

Im loving my buddha, so i think I must give that a try. Vaping is proving out to be an easy way to bankrupt yourself...
LOL, tell me about it , i didn't realize what a big hit my bank account was taking because i always ordered small stuff but man does it add up. Now i just get what i know i need to satisfy and avoid the wants .

I think we all tend to exaggerate when we are trying to convey something we are crazy about and love. As long as it isn't a gross exaggeration to where it becomes grossly false it's all good.

Yup, thats my progression as well , you fool yourself by thinking , it's only eight bucks , this item's only eleven bucks , no biggie.
As long as i stay away from the eighty dollar items i'll be fine but when you get your CC bill in the mail you become far from fine.
I wish i had the means to buy at will and not sweat it though , would be really nice.
You don't need means. Just a special kind of ignorance and lack of responsibility.
Magma, plume veil and atomic, at no specific order.
right now it's my moded Kayfun lite clone. I will receive my Orchid V3 this week and it might over take my kayfun. second to this is my kracken's.
I wanna get the V4 now. I may not need it, but since when does that matter?
yeah, i'm waiting until NOV to buy the V4 (just because i spent so much on vape gear this month) with kayfun quatrz kit. but I will have one of those might even have five. lol

Big Block 454 $20 clone eBay
I second that for flavor its great in fact I just opened her to rebuild I find that .8 -1.5 seems to work best for me
Magma makes meezo happy
Yeah the .8 ohm Kanger coils are great I have been using them since they first came out with some Juices I like the Aero line with these better than a RDA
Ain't that the truth. I build mine about 1.5 Ohms and rock it on the ipv V2 at about 35 Watts. Incredible flavor.
Do you have a plume veil? How do they compare. I want to try other RDAs, but I'm hesitant because I don't know if they will be better.
I'm sorry to admit I fell for rip trippers sales pitch for the plume veil
never again flavor isn't all that great and its messy.cloudz brah cloudzzz

I have a Plume Veil. The Magma beats it for flavor (not clouds).
Try a single coil 24 gauge 2.4 dia about 8 wraps. Make sure the coils are tightly pressed together and just a few mm from the air inlet. It's the best I've found so far.
