I really want to get into RBA's, but first DRIPPING!

[genevieve]

Hey, I'm somewhat new to vaping. But I am moving steadily along. Have already upgraded to my Vamo. I'm loving my Vamo, as a beginner, it helps IMMENSELY to be able to read the resistance, the watts, etc... I don't see myself buying a mech mod anytime real soon. But I still want to start working with rba's. But before that, I really want to start dripping. I'm a huge fan of good-flavored juices and want to get the most out of them.

My questions: firstly, I have searched the forums and can't find any info on the Terminator. Can anyone give me any feedback on this product? Here's a link:

Terminator Chrome RBA Tanks

Also, can someone give me insight into any good products for first getting into dripping? And what are these rebuildable drippers? Are they easier to use than regular RBA's?

First time post btw (hope I did well). Just wanna give a BIG thank you to everyone on these forums/youtube. I have quit smoking ( over 20 year habit). You guys really, literally, have saved my life. Love you for that

As for the terminator dripping atomizer inside of a tank, from what I have heard, they work well, but are a pain to fill and rebuild. The 5ml one is supposedly easier than the smaller one.

With RDAs, the igo l or igo w is pretty popular. RDAs are easier to get working than RBAs, like the AGA T2. This is because they are simpler and the steel mesh wicks that genesis atomizers are typically built with are tough to get right. Both RDAs and RBAs however, can be built with any kind of wick, depending on preference.

PS: you should look into the Kayfun and the clones. They are made to use silica wicks, but still have a tank.

No advice on the RBA but wanted to welcome you to the forum

RDA's? Is that rebuildable dripping atomizers?

 

[genevieve]

thank you. I really am grateful and so happy to see that the community revolving around something i love so much (vaping), is such an awesome community

precisely.

I'd recommend the Igo L

Simple, inexpensive... a good starter unit

 

[genevieve]

Thanks for the input I will probably be ordering the IGo L. It looks to be exactly what I'm looking for, and at a fair price.

I'll second the IGO-L - has a lot of room on the deck for building and you can do one or two coils on there too.

If you want an easy way to get to dripping with none of the hassle, just get a regular 510 dripping atomizer available from pretty much every vape store. It's a great way to really bump up the flavors without having to rebuild. If you look after the atty, it can last you weeks and weeks with no performance drop-off.

Yes, this place is amazing! Have fun!

I go down to altsmoke alot and the guys there seem to all use dripping rba's. Even their rba guru uses a dripping atomizer, they say they are easy to rebuild and deal with.

I had my heart set on the aga-t2 tank rba and I found I don't like it due to the size and steel wick. I think I'm going to go for the dripper atomizer. I currently use boge lr cartos and the problem with them is juice dripping down on to the battery connector. I'm hoping that the igo-l doesn't have this problem due to being sealed down in the juice well. Can anyone confirm this?

 

[genevieve]

That's exactly my issue at the moment. I was gonna start with dripping with cartos I already have on hand. But don't want to risk ruining the battery connection for my mod. Besides, I'm understanding that dripping with atomizers is the way to go, if i want the best flavor.

 

[genevieve]

When you say a regular dripping atomizer, can you please more specific? You're not talking about the RDA's? If i drip with only an atomizer, I would need to buy a drip shield first, right?

i'm curious about this as well, I think aglet is talking about a non-rebuildable atomizer that is 510 threaded. I don't know anything about them. From reading the description of them some have a sealed battery connector to prevent the battery terminal leakage problem.

Welcome! For dripping knowledge go here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...405910-regular-atty-drippers-dying-breed.html after 5 posts you can post there, but there's a lot of info on dripping

ding, ding, ding - we have a winner. Sorry, I should have been more specific. I either use a sealed 510 atty with no drip shield, or I use my sealed 510 connector with an unsealed atty. If you don't have a sealed connector then I recommend using a drip shield.

Using a sealed atty or a 510 sealed connector with an unsealed atty means that even if you over-drip, none will leak out as you have it sealed so the juice can't get down into the battery connector. If you use an open atty, then a drip shield is recommended as this will contain any over drips. It might sound a little complicated but it's really not.

AltSmoke.com - Sealed 510 Low Resistance Atomizer - V2.2 is a good example of a sealed atomizer, although you can get others that are less expensive.

They are so easy to use, although there are numerous videos on youtube to describe and demo how to use them. A couple of members have some good blogs on dripping too - let me see if I can find one and I'll post it up in this thread. I'll also post up a link of my 510 sealed connector that I use with unsealed attys when I get home.

Where is a good place to buy a rba

altsmoke has them, I checked them out in their retail location recently.

Another vote for the igo-l here. I also really enjoy the Smoktech Octopus (some sites, including Mt Baker Vapor have it listed as Smoktech RDA). They are excellent performers after a simple modification and cheaper than the igo-l too. If you decide to get one, check out GrimmGreen's video for the modification I'm referring to.
