I am looking to get a inexpensive rebuildable. Another member on the forum got me curious on rebuildables instead of my tanks. What I would kind of like is something thats able to hold 2 - 2.8ML of juice, 4 and higher is too much. I enjoy changing liquids, but not really as much as a dripper. Do you need a mini torch if you don't use mesh like in the Genesis styles?


Suggest some simple single coil atomizers for beginners

Thanks,
Adam

You have to remember though that when you switch from a tank to an RBA, you are probably switching to something that is capable of vaporizing your liquid at a much higher rate. 4mil in my Nautilus can last me 2+ days. 3-4mil in a Kayfun only last me 6-8 hours. You may be surprised at how much more frequently you have to refill when you make the switch.
Also, with a device such as a Kayfun, there is no law saying you have to fill it all the way up, I rarely fill mine more than 3/4 of the way, some rebuildables don't operate very well when they are completely full because they work on air vacuum and the tank needs to have some air in it to probably feed your wick.

Just some food for thought as you make your decision.

I am an RBA newb but I can confirm this is true! I blow thru almost 2x the juice on the Kayfun as i did on my carto tanks.

Don't even think about using drippers then. I am plowing through the juice in my Plume Veil tonight! 10-12 drops for 5-6 huge, flavorful, cloud billowing hits. Pure dripping goodness. Mmm, mmm, good!

I don't use a torch. I just pulse coils with my mod..I don't have an issue with 26awg or smaller(dual wire/parallel builds). Never used anything larger than 26awg.. it's already too slow for my liking, and retains heat too much.

Kayfun is an old stand by.. works great on typical regulated and mechanical mods.. fogger v4.2- dual coil, easy to build.. easy to use too much wick in wick channels.

All these are single or dual coil capable:
Magma is a dripper with a ~2mL capacity, and the origen v2 is pretty close to 2mL.. there are many options with fluff drippers..talk to dspin or qorax about those if someone doesn't chime in.

What's your budget? I mean if you have a 20x1 threaded mod, plus have the means to get one, the estia by Gus mods- single -tripple coil.

Qorax has very detailed threads on the estia and fogger, also black russian91%... similar atty as a kayfun lite+. 91% is for 91% of the size of the Russian, a very nice clone, with airflow differences, of the kayfun 3.

Edit
Here.. I know this will show the tank options I just listed.
