So im interested in buying an rda rebuildable. There are so many to choose from and I'm not sure what to buy. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I was gonna buy the vaporfi one. But is a bit pricey.

Thanks

What im looking for:

Big clouds
Warm Hit! (Quality for the price)
Love flavor
I have a Stick 50 watt (For now)
I have eliquid from zample box (Roughly VG/PG more on the Vg side lots of flavor)
Dual coils (one on each side is what im going after)
Like to adjust airflow

The type of vape you're after will help with suggestions.
Do you want big vapor clouds?
Do you want warm vapor?
Do you want big flavor?
What device will you be using to power this?
What PG/VG is your liquid?
Do you want single/dual/quad coils?
Do you likea tight draw or big airflow or variable depending on liquid?

There are tons of options for every vaper. There are a lot of good reviews for many RDAs, but just because a particular RDA has a following, doesn't mean its best for everyone. Best e-cig-anything is subjective. Clue us in to what you're after in an RDA, and specific recommendations will be easier to generate.

yea this is really a load questions cause it really depends on what you want what kind of set up. if you ave mech and its your firs tone i would be cautious going to low at first only because you are still learning. if you have a regulated device like a sigeli or IPV then you might be in a ;little better shape but still be cuatious with amp rating on the batteries. but a sold first RDA that can accommodate everything. decent clouds, good flavor, ease of build, single and dual air flow options is the the tugboat rda

With a 50W adjustable, your options open a good bit, as the heat is variable. I'd suggest the MutationX, as well. It's designed for dual coils with adjustable airflow. The large (22mm) real estate inside allows to build larger coils that your iStick may require for the full range of adjustment. Take a look around the forum, especially the RDA section, and read up on reviews, what people like about this or that. There really is a plethora of options, and you're in luck with a 50W, so big airflow will accomodate big clouds and flavor, plus the heat is controlled by your battery.
 
The Vertex V2 is great for flavor, and has decent vapor production. I also have a Mephisto, and that has SLIGHTLY SLIGHTLY less flavor than the Vertex V2, but more vapor production. Both can do dual coils. If I could get ONE more rda that's out right now though, I would def. consider getting a Marquis. Everyone says it has great vapor/flavor production, super easy to build on as it comes with coiling rods that fit into slots for perfect alignment when building, and is great for dual coil builds that can be built both horizontally or vertically. The only downside is it IS a bit pricey at 140 bucks or so.

I would also recommend the Tugboat. Specifically, a V2. It has more potential airflow, but you can dial it back pretty well.

If you're looking for a clone, the Steamboat is a V2 clone that's virtually indistinguishable in performance from the original.
Also, cheap.

The Tugboat was my first RDA, and still one of my favorites.

im not sure i understand the dif between a rebuildable rda and say people rebuilding coils for a aspire atlantis

The Atlantis wasn't designed to be rebuilable, but the pre-built coil heads are fairly easy to take apart and make a new coil and wick for.

Rebuildable atomizers *have* to have coils made for them. They're designed to be completely customizable.
That being said, plenty of websites sell pre-wrapped sets of coils so you don't have to do it yourself, but those are different from the stock coils in something like the Atlantis.

Hi mp4freedom and welcome aboard!

A rebuildable RDA doesn't (usually) come with coils and wicks. When folks talk about rebuilding Atlantis (or rebuilding oher coils), they are talking about the already-built coil heads that are sold for such tanks. When the coil gets junked up or the wick burns, some folks take the coil heads apart and build and install a new coil and wick in them.

Hope it helps and Happy Vaping!

Much appreciate the help... I think i have a good idea now. I actually bought organic cotton and some Kanthal 26 gage for the rebuildable in the kanger subtank mini. So i have a little bit of experience not much. Quitting smoking has made me very interested and is working with vaping. I'm already wanting the big clouds. The V2 sounds cool... Im gonna do some research on those.

vaporfi bolt;
I wouldn't buy it just because they put 7 pictures and not one of them show how the airflow goes;
Maybe it's regular side airflow;
but something about the topcap suggests that it might actually be using topflow, and ducts down the side which would be really something; plus the chuffcap design;
but they don't show anything like that so probably not. And the description says nothing like that either.

I recommend magma; or veritas (I tend to use veritas).
