I just got my first rda and am in love!!!!! I can't believe I spent so mich time fooling with crappy clearos and cartos what a waste of money. Now that I've ventured into rba's I am looking for a good tank rba to take on the go and leave the rda at home. Need some ideas. I like what I see about the kayfun lite plus, but is it really worth the money? Is there anything comparable for less money? Thanks.

The Tobeco and other Fasttech clones are really good if you are willing to wait that long. These are easy to rebuild. You may have to spend some time cleaning them to get all the swarf and machine oil taste out of them.

The Taifun clone is a bit trickier to rebuild, but it is also a good choice.

For around $90, I got 4 clones figuring that it would be cheaper than one original and was hoping that one of them would work.

Maybe I got lucky, but the build was impeccable on all 4: two Russian clones, Kayfun Lite, and a Taifun.

But be aware, these are big so I am not sure you would want to put one on a ego. Acqua clones are a bit smaller but are the same style. Early reports are good.

IMHO, genesis styles can give a great vape, but they do not travel well.

You might want to check pennyvape or Vapor Joes webpage for current deals in the US. Prices in the vape world change dramatically on a daily basis.

x3 on the Kayfun... easy to build and provides the best vape out there right now, in my opinion (and others as well).

Go with a clone, they work just as well. HCigar makes a good one that is available from US sellers (plus eBay) for around $40 or so. Tobeco is another option, although I like the HCigar build quality better.

Another vote for the Kayfun clones. I have several that I got from Ebay, including Tobeco, Hcigar and SvoeMesto. You do need to clean them first (the threads are a bit tight and "crunchy" much of the time), but after a brief cleaning with hot soapy water and a toothbrush mine have all been excellent.

My favorite so far is the Kayfun Lite clone (I have a Kayfun Lite Plus clone on the way), and I just can't keep away from this thing. I have an Aqua clone that I honestly haven't even tried yet, but it seems to be very nice also. So far the most I have spent for an RBA has been $37, so I'm very happy with my purchases so far.
