Can someone tell me what an "RDTA" is?

[bwh79]

I guess my last post was too abrasive for some folks, because it got reported and deleted within minutes of posting, so I'll try to be on my best behavior this time around.

I legitimately don't understand what a "dripping tank atomizer" is supposed to mean. To me, those terms are mutually exclusive. It just sounds like a marketing gimmick. Something along the lines of "well it holds liquid like a tank, but it chucks clouds like a dripper." Which, to me, would just be a "sub-ohm tank," but apparently there's something more to it than that. The best (only) answer I've gotten so far is that it uses a "dripping deck" which...doesn't clarify anything at all, really. So, can someone please explain to me, what an "RDTA" means, and what makes it fundamentally different from every other "rebuildable tank atomizer" out there? Explain it to me like I'm a total noob, because apparently the rest of you all get it, but I'm just not seeing it. Pictures might help.

In my opinion some say tomato others say tomahto.

It looks the basic idea is that you take a dripper deck and drill holes in the bottom of it. So the juice goes into a base section that has a reservoir like a dripper base. The juice has to pass through this first from the tank. Where as a RTA, the juice goes directly to the wicks, no reservoir or reservoir shape in the base.

Although most RTA use this shape anyway when taking into account the glass. So maybe a RDTA is just a double reservoir, which for functionalities sake makes no difference. But maybe I dont understand it completely either.

Could just be a way to get RDA users moved over to RTA's without feeling like defying there holly and sacred bond.

Subohm tank is the vaping equivalent of "the thickly-cushioned luxury of seats available even in soft Corinthian leather". Many "subohm tanks come with above ohm coils and others don't even have a subohm option.

But I think the general view of a subohm tank is any screw in blister pack tank. Mostly subohm but not always.

An RTA is a rebuildable tank. Ohms are not a factor in anyway at all. Two guys could be shooting the poop, one with a Kayfun and one with a Limitless and both are hitting RTA's.

RDTA's are a newer version. To paraphrase Ed Meese I know one when I see it but its hard to explain. I even have several and they have a purpose but they are more in addition to an RTA then instead of.

A true RDTA are the Genny style tanks Like the
Calypso,avocado,limitless etc.....

The BOREAS,supreme, CLOUDANUS
Griffin, billow and so many more are RTAS...
They called BOREAS, supreme, CLOUDANUS RDTA because the juice comes from the top like as if you are dripping but it's not really!!!
Remember when they called
MUTANK RDTA?! So yeah!!

Big Dripper?

See, that was my first thought, when I looked up some pictures I thought "these just look like gennie tanks from a couple years ago" but, again, I thought there must be something I am missing, or else people would just call them "gennie tanks, like from a couple years ago" instead of making up a new, self-contradictory term for them.

I've never had one but I thought that sometimes you press down on the tank and then juice which is held in the tank actually drips onto the atty coils as opposed to feeding? = Big clouds

 

[Foggy Road]

Now y'all got me cornfused. I thought I knew what they were. I assumed by the name that they were a convertible tank that could be used as a tank or a dripper. Whichever you were in the mood for at any given time?

They're all RTAs to me if they are dedicated rebuildable tanks. Gavin did bring up the big dripper which is probably the most fitting.

I think others label the Supreme, Boreas, etc... (I've even heard folks say Bellus) as RDTA because of the way the juice feed is set up. Deck below juice holding tank in a separate "chamber", juice drips through slots on the tank bottom to the below deck/wicking/base. Also, with side airflow.

Sub-ohm tanks..... A tank with premade coil heads. May include an rba deck. I get lost with all of these to be honest.

Fwiw, I only use RTAs and RDAs. I'm not sure about Avacado and Limitless classifications or why they just aren't called gennies or RTAs. I see them as RTAs, but if you wanted to, you could drip with them.

REBUILDABLE DRIPPING TANK ATOMIZER
IF YOU CANT DRIP ON IT
ITS NOT RDTA!! IMO
FOR ME RDTA is a tank that you can drip on it and can be use as a tank
