Been vaping for a couple months now and its working out well for me , havent had or craved a analog since i started.i want to know the differances between the set up im using now( kanger clearos,disposable coils,ego style batteries) and a r.t.a. set up besides having to rebuild your coils what else is different?
It's a common question/thought.
The answers are not obvious:
1: the kanger clearos, disposable coils, ego style batts are more like consumer product grade.
rda's, rta's, rdta's, are not so consumer friendly; and there's basically alot more names/brands/differences between/among rda's/rta's than among the clearos.
2: Refilling the tank:
Refilling a clearo, is easy, just open up and pour the stuff in; a needlebottle is kinda helpfull at first but once you get the hang of it, you just pour; or alot of juice bottles come with needletype/droppertype noses anyway.
On alot of rebuildable tanks, the designed method of filling is via a tiny fill hole of some sort, which basically requires you to spend several minutes to fill the !@#$%^&*! thing.
On the kayfun types, alot of people use the topfill method where
- first you block the airhole with your finger - because if you open the top, all the juice will go down from the tank, up throught the juice channels then down the airhole
- then unscrew the top cap, and pour your juice in; then you screw/starttoscrew on the top cap etc.
The average person is going to have problems with that; alot of people won't notice that the little black rubber seal popped out the tank while they turned away to yell at the kids, so when they reassemble everything, all the juice keeps leaking out;
3: Size really does matter;
If you're used to rebuilding your clearo coils to keep them going and save some money, when you get a rebuildable, it's just so easy to put a coil in compared to trying to rebuild a protank or other clearo coil; you can also make physicaly bigger coils because the space you have to work within is larger.
3.1: Because you have more space, you can fit more coil, hence, with rebuildables you can make bigger coils, that burn more power and make more impact.
3.2: Because you have more space, you can use thicker wire, which will last longer than thin wire - with 34 gauge in a clearo, you might recoil every few weeks, but with 28 gauge on an rba, you can probably run that same coil for months.
But rta's are going to evolve to a clearomizer type consumer product; we see that with a couple new tanks; there's the new squape, which I think comes with 3 build decks; so you can be vaping on one while you build the other, then when you want to 'change coil', you just change out the build deck.
Then there's another tank.. I forget... is it the subtank? it comes with an option buying replaceable coils or rebuilding replaceable coils; I haven't seen the insides of the rebuildable replaceable coils so, I'm still waiting to see it they did it properly.
