rda/rba wire and batteries to pair with a ragnarok or sage mod

[smoothcannibal]

been away from vaping for a couple years. i had a pretty good setup and i don't know why i ended up smoking full time again. i made my own copper pipe mod. not fully mechanical but with a 1.5 ohm cart tf 18650 3000mah batt and energy cow 12mg i was very happy with it. or my vivi nova tank worked well for me. got me down to about 3 cigs a day.

either way. i want to get back into it. i'm moving at the end of the month and that's when i am going to get it. it's either going to be a ragnarok or a sage.

i need a rba/rda that isn't too terribly expensive but will get the job done. i'm not going to be probably going too much under 1ohm so i need to know what guage wire is best.

also batteries. i only have ever used trustfires but it seems you shouldn't use them anymore? what's better now?

If those are you're hearts desire... you could do a lot worse. As you say you won't be going much under 1.0Ω, low voltage drop values are not too much of a concern, and you can fudge a bit on outright performance.

There are many good "flavor" RDAs. Look for something that offers a single or dual parallel coil AFC inlets, a deep juice well and small to medium chamber volume.
I don't usually recommend specific atomizers, but a few that fit the description might be the Origen V2, Aeolus, Nomad, Rogue, Foggatti and Buhawi. All are available as authentic, or clones.

IMR chemistry batteries from Samsung, AW, Sony Panasonic, Sony, Efest and LG are popular. Be wary of who you buy from... false labeling and performance claims are rampant. Find a vendor you trust... like RTD Vapor for example.

thanks

i know not to cheap out on batts and buy them from a good vender.

i'll look at those atomizers. i'm probably going to end up with a clone or a something towards the low end just so i can get the hang of using one without potentially ruining something expensive.

All the RDAs I mentioned, with the exception of the Origen V2, have top, side-to-center or indirect side air flows... making them less likely to leak when placed on their sides.

To get a better idea of what is available in clones (and more are added almost every day)... here's a link to FastTech, "RDAs, sorted by date listed". If you don't intend to deep sub-ohm, avoid attys that have massive air flow inlets and oversize "chuff" cap drip tips. Too much air, especially with modest resistance, can kill flavor.

Have fun spending more money than you intended.

i've been on fast tech and done a bit of my homework to see what's at least new to me now a days. i would like an adjustable air flow since it's a bit more versatile.

i know i am going to be spending more than i want but it's still cheaper than continuing to smoke.
