First RBA

[BeatboxHero]

I got an IGO-W dripping rebuild-able atomizer today! I wanted a cheap and easy RDA that I could test out and I'm enjoying it so far. First coil I made came out to 1.8 ohms and is vaping like champ! I only did a single coil right now. Not brave enough to do a dual coil yet. I'm shocked the hit is so strong! I have a 24 mg juice that I put in it and the TH is way better then in my Protank. Even with a new coil in the Protank the RDA wins. I'm sure it will get even better as I go.


My question is, what size should I drill my airhole out to? I know most people drill theirs out no matter what RDA it is. But I can tell this one needs it. Also, do you guys switch flavors often with these? Do you just drip a new juice in there once you have run dry on the older stuff?

I would try waiting a week of two...maybe. Give your self some time to get used to it first imo, before you go and start drilling holes in your new atty.
I hated rba's at first but once i gave myself some time to actually get used to them they are reallly fine the way they are.

When switching flavors or juices in an rba i normally rinse everything out with warm water to pretty much get the entire flavor out of the tank. By desasembling the tank and doing this you can pretty much say goodbye to flavoring left behind

Adjustment time is always solid advice and I'll try washing it out. I guess I'm just paranoid of messing up my coil haha.

OP, I think the previous post was referring to RBA, not RDA. For drippers like what you have, I don't think there is a need to wash it every time you want to try a new flavour. You can either drip unflavoured juice and vape it until the old flavour goes away, or use the new flavour straight off. There will be a mix of two flavours in the beginning, which would disappear after a few vapes

I'm expecting an RDA in the mail soon and this was a question I had, thanks!

Amen! I just got my first RBA (Octopus) and the flavor is amazing. Haven't used my Protank at home since I got the dripper. Igo-W is next on the list for a dual coil setup. The Octopus hits like a truck on my Sigelei mech mod. I'm hooked now!

Congratulations on the IGO, I myself got an IGO-L as my first. It's currently attached to my first working coil and vaping like a champ. Read up about what drilling out the air hole does. If it's working fine for you, no need to tinker with it, unless of course you want to tinker.

Congrats on your new purchase.

I've got one recommendation for you: the micro-coil thread.

I guarantee that if you take the time to read through it, you'll achieve a brand new "knock your socks off" vaping experience.

+1 on microcoils
And if the airhole in the igo is ~1mm as it comes, you can safely drill it up to ~1.2-1.3mm. It will greatly enhance hour vaping experience

Yes you are right. RDA not RBA. Guess I should pay attention to my acronyms hu?

Also thanks for the link to micro coil building! I need some advice and practice.

Thanks!

Also can I just say that the quality of vapor that comes out of this thing is ridiculous?! I mean, clouds that hang in the air for a while! Love that.

You bet. There's no way I couldn't share that, it's that good

One pt of advice from my own(very successful) personal experience...a drill bit and a drill(your choice, most use 1/16 th), let the drill do all the work for you (slow speed). Trap the wire with the drill bit in the chuck, hang on to the lose end with some pliers or tweezers. Prefect coils every time.
