Are RBA's better than RDA's

Depends whether you enjoy blowing clouds or not. One advantage of an RDA is it's fairly easy to rebuild (once you get the hang of it), but one disadvantage is you'll be rebuilding alot. Personally I'll stick to my Kayfun because I only need to build a coil every week and a half or so and redo the wick once every two to three days.

RBA = Rebuildable Atomizer (covers Tanks and drippers)
RTA = Rebuildable Tank Atomizer
RDA = Rebuildable Drip Atomizer

RTA's are more convenient if you are out and about and there a very few that are close to the flavor of RDA's. RDA's less convenient to go out and about but are great for flavor, clouds, and testing different e-juices without committing a large volume of e-juice.

I don't think that anyone can definitively say that one is better than the other as it's purely a matter of personal taste among other considerations. I'm a fan of both KFLs and RDAs. I mostly use KFLs because they hold more liquid and they're more portable (to use when I go to work or out and about). However, I own more RDAs than I do KFLs and I enjoy using them at home.
 
You'd be better off taking $35 lighting it on fire. Me and a couple of friends of mine each got a foggerV4 and we all had some problem or another. Mine worked for about two days before the coil post stripped. It also leaked half the stuff I put in it. My other friend had the post stripped the first time he built a coil on it and had to wait 2 weeks for a replacement.

Which is better than the other as I have more RBA's than my one RDA...

Neither is better orvigg, they are simply different. RDAs are generally easier to set up for higher wattage and more vapor/flavor/TH than RBAs. It's also very easy to change flavors at will by simply dripping a different juice. I used to do that all the time.

OTOH, the convenience of having a tank in a RBA is obvious, but it means you have to wick juice from the tank to the coil. That's a complication a RDA does not have to contend with.

I've had my fogger for a couple of months now and after initial problems due to improper wicking (burning taste) and overtightening the fill hole (leaking), I've corrected my "user errors" and have been loving it. However, if you have 35 bucks to burn, I'll take it and save you the effort. :)
