First RTA

[Grimwald]

A Lemo or Kayfun (early models) would be more like your nautilus. Also, joyetech tanks that use the CLR rebuildable coil (i.e. Tron, Ego One).

 

[Gramdogg]

Yeah, for your provari they would be best as you'll want to stay around 1.2 ohm or higher as it wont go over 3.5A/15w. Probaby 30 awg would work best.

 

[BrotherBob]

your guess is correct the attys are exactly 1.6 and 1.8 but they are running out too fast and while im sure im not ready for sub ohm,

Welcome and glad you joined.
You should do well staying in the 1.6 - 2.0 ohm range to start, I have read about quit a few vapers who try to run before they learn to walk.
Might like to check out the Kanger Subtank Mini with the RBA/purch option.
In General higher ohm coils/lower wattage (generally MTL) vaping will:
Heat the coil slower, which may produce “less” vapor
Provide A “cooler” tasting vape, can produce more flavor
May use less E-Juice (<$ less money)
Prolong battery life (<$)
Prolong coil life (<$)
Prolong wick life (<$)
May be more healthier--lower temps
More likely zero spit back
May result in less PV maintenance/Issues
Less irritation to non vapers
Aids stealth vaping

Hello I'm kinda "new" to this I've been vaping for about one year straight on a pro vari 2.5 with an aspire nautilus. I'm burning through atomizers like crazy so I think I'm ready for an RTA I've done a bit of research and I guess I'm between an Avacado by Geek Vape and the Lemo 2 by Eleaf(but open to wise suggestions) I'm not ready for SuB OHMs but I do Need an RTA. What Is the Best for a newb? and why? I run at like 4.0 to 4.1 Volts on provari 2.5.. I need something easy to build on with great flavor production, but that will also be useful after I get the hang of it. Any suggestions? sorry for any typos or (likely) wrong wordage. Thank you

OBS Engine Nano - for direct to lung.
Kayfun V5 - for mouth to lung.
Both easy to coil/wick.

I enjoy this one, mine is a different clone but it should be the same. Change air flow by changing driptips, I like the draw on the one it comes with. For dual coil you can do 2 vertical coils like RIP. Can't beat the price either.

I can't believe no one mentioned the serpent mini, provides plenty of airflow, easy build. only drawback is the tank capacity.

I can (believe)
In my attend to use it as an "always with me" tank, I only succeeded with leakage and dry hits. Believe me, I've tried a lot of cotton constellations.

I am rather fond of the Serpent SMM...

Second the Serpent SMM. Great starter RTA with terrific performance.

If you ever desire to do dtl and sub 0hm i got the big baby beast from smok has an rba section in it (no idea about the kit though, i just got the tank). If you get something like this don't bother with factory coils they chugg the juice like alcohoolics would drink beer lol (mostly the x4 and t6 i've tried).

That would be another approach. however, i hate handing a brand new builder an RBA as their first challenge. They're smaller than typical RTA decks and can be fiddly to build and wick correctly. I view it as get used to building on something simple to throw together without a lot of work and heartache, then a fiddly little RBA that if not built just right will result in juice spilling out the air slots like a open spigot. Not saying you can't, some work quite well, but a full size deck on a tank design forgiving of wicking "errors" seems like a better first experience. I guess the same can be said for ah, other activities too.

@Eskie Are you being naughty? I do agree with you. I learned to build wick on Kanger Mini rba. Wish SMM would have been around then!

Oh you know how I think too well.

Totally agree i just found it nice they gave the option in the box itself,didn't know the one in the beast tank was smaller Still like the tank overall though.

Don't have a Serpent SMM but I can tell by videos its a loud one, for that reason only I don't want one. Enough jets fly over my house I don't need one more in the house lol. Could just be the airflow setting they use but I hate tanks that 3/4 of the setting whistle or sound like a mini turbine engine. As for the Serpent Mini it needs a different drip tip or the flavour gets muted by the wide bore, the Alto looks like the best option of the 3 to me unless you want 3mm exotic coils.
