Butters 80, I agree rip trippers youtube tutorials are great. As far as a good rba to start on, I agree that the kayfun is a good start. You will likely stop there and only go kayfun-style rbas. I started with rdas, and I still love them dearly (vho raiju (it's a beast check it out) and grand vapor trident). Picked up a kayfun, then a russian 91 and latest was the aqua (easier to go dual coil with the aqua). All are outstanding once you perfect your coil and wicking right now I'm really loving my russian, the flavors of all my rbas get pretty close to my rdas. Plus the rbas are great when you don't want to drip in public, you get a lot of strange looks depending on where you are, lol. My main concern was leakage, I haven't had a problem with any of them. I had some newbie issues with the aqua because I've only had it a week, but you get over that initial learning curve. Just make sure you leave some headspace and you are good to go. I use them on my mechs and vv/vw devices. I love em!!!
