There are 'popular' ones... based on anything from flavor, to what some enthusiastic stranger on the interweb needs to justify purchase of... to what your buddies or the kool guy at the B&M bought... to what ever you like - at the time. 
Deep well drippers are all the rage right now - Origen, Veritas, Magma... with the Veritas and Plume Veil perhaps heading the list of what's 'hot'. They can be a bit more difficult to build for some as they tend to be designed for verticals, but the ability to triple the number of draws between drips is a big attraction for many.
Interestingly enough, the Origen is still "the best there is" (for flavor) on a lot of experienced vapists' lists... but the no-leak nature of the Veritas makes it a real up and comer.
Bottom air flow is popular too, as is the short little Hellfire top air flow RDA... but for the latter, only those that can afford them - no clones, for now.
Just about any new original dripper you see that looks interesting - but $120 seems a bit dear - the Chinese have just about mastered the 3 week tool-up to manufacture process, so nothing is too exclusive for too long.

Zenith doesn't do anything for me... I gifted my authentic one. That doesn't mean it's not good... just not my personal favorite. I try not to have 20 RDAs laying around collecting dust and loosing value, when I only use my top 3-4... and my top 3-4 are all deep wells.
I also am in love with my Vulcan RDA, it has a large juice well and is cut out to give you ample room to work with. The heat sinks on the top and bottom are a nice touch and is compatible with TOBH parts. Overall it is a quality product, the only worry is with airflow, although I am content with it if you desire to add airflow you either have to drill out the "v" in the logo (where the air holes are located) leaving you with an "Oulcan" or drill new holes else where.
I've only had this Magma clone for a week I like it so far its only $16.00 & Ships free From USA. http://www.angelcigs.com/magma-style-rebuildable-dripping-atomizer.html

Sorry brother, I saw your email but was starting a thread and trying to get some decent pics, when I went to start the thread it said I had to invite at least one person, well my bro guess what I don't know anyone so I invited you, saw your name on the email..LOL
And hell ya, this is the best I think, had started a thread over at that other place that I think banned me and once people got onto this atty they were freaking, it's that good, and it's affordable for an original atty, you can still get one I think over at Vape101, ya just went and looked $70 that's cheap for what your getting and it isn't cloned yet.
I've got some pretty good pics I think but I'm an old dude so hands are kind shaky but I took pics of what makes it so different and will post them up probably on the thread.

Right now my 2 favorite flavor tanks are the Quasar (seems to be under rated) and the Origin V2. The Magma is a really close 3rd. The Vulcan is also pushing the flavor for me too.
For plumage tanks I'm enjoying the Mephisto and the Zenith V2. I'm waiting for my Plume V to come in and I'm expecting that to be a winner in both categories.
I should mention that the Infinite CLT has been a great tank for me as well. Excellent bang for the buck!
I keep going back to the Quasar for some reason. It's just sooooo good.

I think the Brass Monkey is the best RDA. It is engineered for the builder. It has 4 posts (for a dual coil setup.) All 4 posts have holes in the post with the set screw concept. This makes building fast and efficient. Best part is fastech sells premade 2 ohm coils that fit it for less than a penny each. The thing is a dream to rebuild not a chore. And of course even at 1 ohm the vape quality and quantity is amazing. You can buy in solid SS if you are concerned about brass.

The Marquis
The flavour is just awesome and building the horizontal coils is easy as it can be

origen/origen v2...all day long
hands down the best flavor atty on the market and has been since the day it came out , what, well over a year ago...
expensive, yes, but you get what you pay for...
stay away from the clone, you will build it, fire it once or twice and never get it to fire again, ever...total waste of money and time...
the marquis and magma are a close second, and not a bad choice...
keep in mind the origens and magma have a restricted type airflow, very comfortable, but, nonetheless a bit restricted while the marquis has a tad more less restricted and very comfortable draw that you can manipulate...

Did you get the clone from ft or the authentic? Looking forward to hear if anyone can tell how they feel for the clone - and even more, if anyone can compare it to the authentic (-:

I just got the clone just today (the one they show in the black box, like 15 bucks. So easy to build on doesn't leak, great airflow and very good flavor. Like it so much I asked the wife to get me the authentic for my birthday!

Thats good news.
Got the same one coming.
Got it in the first place because it looks like an improved version of the Veritas, which i love.

Tugboat V2 is a great atty, I use mine a lot, my single only complaint with it, is if I fill it just a hair too much it tends to leak from the negative post air holes :/
Great performer though

I have 18 rda"s (compulsive disorder) and i have been using the veritas and the plume vale alot more than the others ,but i just picked up the lancia and use the wide open tube it shoots air on the coil like no other rda i own and its right there with the veritas as my top 2. plume vale leeks a little where the veritas(single coil) and the lancia(dual coil) dont leek at all and i love the way the lancia hits . I am a big flavor guy into diy juicing so i build around +/- .8 ohms it works for me.

I love my JDTech Manta v2. It's very short, super-easy to build on, generates a hot vape, and provides a lot of air flow. But best of all, it's completely leak-free, due to its vertical air channels.
On the minus side, it's fucking expensive. But there's a Chinese clone out now. I don't know what the clone is worth though...

While I enjoyed my PV, I enjoy the Infinite CLT V2 more. It has the same features but is larger which allows the post air wholes to be higher and to fit more cotton, both to help prevent leaking.

I don't really think there's really a "best" RDA out there it just depends on each perskn. I for one am in love with my Doge V2 and the IGO W6, but The Aeolus by Syntheticloud has caught my eye. It has a vertical airflow system, AFC, anti flood and spit back designs.

Plume Veil leaks and the center block spins, 454 can be a pain in the ass to build. Get a Tugboat V2.

I keep going back to my Stillare V2 clones. I've purchased the new popular stuff like the magma, plume veil etc, but always seem to find something about them that pisses me and now I have a drawer full of RDA's that don't ever get touched. I have 3 Stillare V2's and not a single one of them have been put in the drawer of death.

best is subjective. I only use two Mephisto and Hobo. I like the Mephisto more. my next one will be veritas and could be my new favorite. but then again, I could hate it. I don't like drippers much.
I like to horde my vape stuff even if not in useAny for sale?

Aint nothing wrong with hording as long as what's being horded is used. I don't have another RDA to tinker with lol.
I know right, I like to think that someday I will revist them and give them another shot. Hasn't exactly turned out that way as of yet. Trust me if I have to clear out some space they will probably go up as a free give away kind of thing, the money part isn't that important for me and I do hate to see "good" gear go to waste.

Love my Infinite Magma clone, but its the only RDA I've used so far.. Something's gotta be really special to ever replace it, the flavor on it rules..
