Like others, I would really like to try one of these but the price is rather steep to take the chance.

I am actually very tired of cartos but I don't like dripping so this may be just what I need to get more enjoyment out of vaping.

3. If I had one of these on top of my PV, even more people would wonder what the heck it was! Then they would ask, and I could convert yet more people to the pleasures of vaping.

I'll try to stay on topic (which rarely happens
) but I kinda understanding the concept of the rba, but really need to pay attention as to the actual usage. Gonna stalk this thread in hopes that sometime within the next 2 weeks I learn sumpin'!

I've been thinking about trying to make one of these but I'd rather get one this way because homemade stuff looks so ghetto and I'm trying to turn people I know on to vaping and of tobacco.

#1 I've been looking at all kinds of RBAs for some time now...I just haven't taken the plunge yet. I do a lot of dripping and having an RBA would be a very good thing....that is if I can get the learning curve down. So far all the talk about differnet wicking materials, mesh and how to prepare it, various RBAs, and varied customer satisfaction has made me wonder. Maybe an RBA will be able to fit into my Christmas budget. I've looked at the VIVI Nova tanks, that are, IMHO, modular rebuildable, and they seem good too. I think sooner or later I will own an RBA; the question is which one will I settle on and when will I be able to afford one!
Thanks for hearing my story and the contest. I especially apprecciate contests that gear a hardware giveaway for those not fortunate enough to already own that particulary piece.

#2 I forgot to mention, in my previous post, that part of the learning curve, I believe, is buying and knowing how to accurately use a multimeter. A good side effect, from researching RBAs, has been my realization that I must own a multimeter one day. I think that owning one would be worth it just to test batteries! Just from my own research I already feel confident that I could purchase a good multimeter, at a decent price, and also be able to use it properly after some experience wih it.
Maybe I haven't done my homework properly but I don't think I would want to own an RBA without also owning a multimeter

I picked up two of these in a co-op and they are great little devices. It took a couple weeks to get the kinks sorted out (proper oxidizing, no hot spots and no wicking problems). Now I'm not afraid to leave the house with just my DNA box and two ChiDs!

If you don't own an advanced PV, you should not be messing with these. They are eGo killers. You should have at the very minimum a circuit protected variable voltage. The VV Gripper works well, and there is also the Provari of course. At any time, a coil can pop and without the protection it will kill your battery. Those two will read your ohms for you and allow you to adjust the volts to them easily. I realize there are other devices also, I just don't own them. I check the ohms each time I put it on my PV and if I notice a change in the vape. But I have had one pop on me for no reason other than it was it's time.

Dang the more I read the more I wonder if I need a degree to use this RBA! I've been simply dripping on an LR atty and a 5V mod (yeah, I know it's a no-no) with the atties lasting for a month or longer. Surely as popular as these are becoming someone can simplify the process. Please keep posting anecdotal experiences... I am very interested.

#3 I use 510 batteries and a 306 atomizer to drip and found it to be the best drip set up I've had so far. I too usually get a month, or longer using a 306 atomizer.
It also sounds like I don't need an RBA unless I own a VV device. This confuses me. Are RBAs worth it if they can only be used with VV devices? It appears then that there is no option for an RBA for someone like me. (My setup: Riva 510 with cartos or 306 atty to drip)
vsummer1: Do you mean the RBA will blow ego type batteries and that a multimeter is an undesireable device for someone like me? I thought the multimeter was desireable to test the coil on an RBA prior to use.

Thanks for the information . . .
AND - I am glad I was able to be of some minor influence and "You" are now inspired to do another "HOW TO" Video . . .
SO - "YES", Please do make one - no matter what happens in the contest, I am sure "Your" Video would help me and others learn more about these "CHID" and other "RBA" . . .
AND - Thank You - not only for the information how "You" build one of the wicks
, but I turely appreciate your generousity - You Make "Me" 
. . .
To You - A BIG HUGE {{{{{ HUG }}}}}
Honestly, for someone who has bigger and thicker fingers, I've had no issues at all. The biggest thing to get used to is the pieces. The CHID totally disassembled has 10 or 11 pieces, I think. The smallest piece are the screws. They are small, but they are manageable. Building wicks, I believe, is perfect for bigger handed people. When you roll a wick, there is more finger surface, it almost acts like a rolling pin.
Actually, to help everyone out as well. I'm going to do a How To Video. I'll have it up and ready before this contest ends. I'll show how to do it from start to finish.
Thanks for the inspiration, Uncle! Maybe, it will do some people good.

I am TIRED of leaky Clearos/Cartos/whatever with air holes that .... up against the battery connection. Even "sealed" batteries aren't all that sealed. In the last two weeks I have had juice leak in to two separate batteries killing the circuitry. I am recently unemployed and simply CAN NOT afford to keep replacing eGo (and it's clones) batteries. I don;t have the affordability to go buy a big batt mod and the batteries and the chargers and etc and on and on. My wife won't allow me to pay the 30 or so dollars a good RBA will cost.
Quite frankly... I am on the verge of going back to smokes because of air holes on the bottom of tanks/cartos/clearos and RBAs with side air holes really seem to be the only solution.
That's my sob story. That's why I need a high quality tank based RBA. Is it just me, or does the whole idea of putting a high percentage leak point right up against the battery connection seem extremely short sighted?

Because if you take good care of these things they'll last you forever.

Because if, god forbid, e-cigarettes should be banned or taxed to death, you'll still be able to find the materials you need to rebuilt these.

Because you can go longer between drips than with a regular atomizer.
Thanks for the contest

Ive always wanted to try one. I hear the flavor is amazing. Ive watched youtube videos on them but havent taken the plunge. Plus money is an issue. I currently use twists/spinners with vivi novas and bauway clearos.
