Soon to be getting into rebuilding as soon as my rba gets here....reading and watching all I can.
What do you like and why ?

Once you provide the specifics of the "rba" - what type of atomizer, desired resistance, wire you have on hand and what wicking material you intend to use - that will be a much easier question to answer.
eGrip ...unsure on wire size needed or wicking material....I have nothing at the moment. I will be going to local B&M for help/materials/ETC. But was unsure what design worked best.
1.5ohm
1.5ohm
Horizontal coils are much easier to position and wick. Because of this they are also easier to build to the the resistance you're aiming for and maintain. They are a good place to start and experiment with. Vertical coils, especially in atomizers not designed for them, can require a lot of premeditated and sometimes intricate bending of the leads. For the hobby aspect they're a lot of fun, but not so much if you're goal is to build a coil that not only performs great but will do so consistently.
EDIT: The design of that atomizer looks like a chimney coil would suit it wonderfully for if/when you decide to give it a go.

Would be nice to able to wrap ANY RTA in vertical coil but the biggest problem is that it just wouldn't wick right. If you look at the Aspire Atlantis or any other vert coil that you screw in, the juice level goes up past the huge ports holes which enables it to continuously wick juice. In an RTA, the juice ONLY wicks from the legs on the bottom like an RDA. So reasonably speaking, if there is a vertical coil made, how is the juices reaching the cotton wrapped coil wick without any dry hits? You're not going to just run the cotton inside the coil and drape it on one side and the legs touching wicking channels. The cotton needs to be wrapped around the coil for the optimum Vape like the Atlantis or any other tank. If there's an RTA that allows more juice flow inside the chimney, saturating the coil, it's game over. Bye bye to the Billows, Orchids and the new Kayfuns.

New eGrip RBA coming out.
Not that I subscribe to this guy....but looked interesting. (2nd build in video)

From my own perspective and experiences, I used vertical coils for all 'Kayfun' styled RTAs.
Vertical coils work best on atties that have a bottom airflow system, the idea is to build the coil over the air hole(s) and wrap the wicking material (cotton, hemp fiber, CC, etc - NOT Silica) around the coil, not through it, allowing unrestricted airflow through the coil from the bottom air source
This style offers the best flavor for these types of atties

Don't know if it gives the best flavor, when I used verticals in the KF it gave a very hot vape
......from China to USA
Still waiting .

I've found from my personal experience that the post locations and air holes kind of dictate which coil works best. If the posts or holes in the post are off set then either design works because of the way coils are wraped (1 over 1 under) . Even holes tend to lead to bunny coils or having a tilted horizontal coil (or some serious wire bending with pliers) I have NEVER noticed a flavor, vapor production difference between horizontal or vertical.
Thanks
Got it on the 26th and it's been great so far....flavor and vapor
I've only been vapeing at 10w or so but the mod does go to 20w....and I had o try it
Was a bit hot for my liking....but great cloud.
