I am two weeks in and absolutely loving it. Happy to say that I built my first coil/wick setup tonight and it is vaping amazing. I have a couple questions regarding rba's. I am using a ZAP on my Provari, and a SS Vivi Nova on my mini. I couldn't be more pleased with the z atty pro.

I am looking into getting a few more RBA's as I like to have multiple choices, plus I kinda dig setting up my own coils. I am seeing a lot of recommendations for the AGA-2, and am curious as to what anyone thinks.

I ended up on Kidneypuncher.com, and they have what I need. I'm always skeptical of ordering online, and was wondering if anyone has ordered there before? Quick shipping? Trusted company?

What's your :2c:?

Never had any problem with kidney puncher. It's actually my go to site for rba hardware.

You might want to have a look at the Smoktech RSST as well. I have a aga t 2 and a zatty pro as well. They all vape well although the aga t2 is not as user friendly and as well built as the zatty, and my agat top cap fits on it looser than a.... hum.... It's just loose!

If you like fiddling with rba's educate yourself on mechs and batteries. Read tons on the subject. Keep in mind that this can be a dangerous territory if you are not prepared as a battery can explode if its not suited for what you are doing. Take your time, do your homework and that being said: rba + mech = great vape!

Vape on :toast:

:thumb: I agree totally with this. I've made a resource guide for the beginner RBA user:

While I have your attention, any suggestions on wicks? The ZAP came with a ceramic wick, but I couldn't get that thing firing right. I tore it down and grabbed a SS, wrapped at 1.9, and its great.
Yeah, ss wicks are doing the trick for me to.. My current wick in my aga t is a "hybrid" ss mesh/ ekowool, it vapes fine so far... First time I try it. It's just an unoxidized ss mesh that I managed (kinda painfully) to slide inside a little piece of the ekowool so that the coil portion is covered... The real up side is that you dont have to worry about wick to coil shorts... But pure ss mesh works great.
 
Sorry to hop in your thread OP, but I'm looking for a simple place to start and cannot find such a thread on this site.

I know NOTHING about vaping other than that I want to quit cigarettes once and for all and enjoyed puffing off my friend's Logic ECig. It was a satisfying smoke, it sizzled a little bit, and had a blue glow at the end, all elements that I think my subconscious liked.

So given that I liked the Logic ECig, is that the right product for me or should I be entirely rethinking this thing? She had the menthol flavor, and I sort of liked that because I've been smoking clove cigarettes for a while now, which have a distinct flavor to them. I used to smoke regular cigarettes for years, but quit for years before starting up again with cloves. Since I simply don't like the flavor of regular cigarettes.

ANY help or direction would be much appreciated. I'm doing some extensive traveling in August and September and really want to have my vape set up and rolling by then.

Thanks people.

I suggest that you start a new thread in the new members forum, and just copy paste what you just said here. tons of help will be flying at you at the speed of light! :thumbs:

I have to go have a drink with my girlfriend so cant really answer you right now but I can say this:

There are TONS of better, way.... WAY better device than the logic ecig that you tried. Your mind will be blown away!

Welcome to the wonderful world of vaping :toast:

If you have never vaped before, I recommend a simple, easy to vape out of the box set up like this: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/blogs/baditude/3706-4-good-starters-setup-beginning-vapor.html

I do not recommend what we call RBAs (rebuildable atomizers) to a new vapor. They are complex devices compared to the above setup. Once you've been vaping awhile and have learned all the lingo, you can begin investigating the more advanced setups.

They are well known in the vape community! You can trust them but always remember that no matter what, all online sites are vulnerable even apple, sony, and google.
