That's the thing, $9 for 5 coils might not seem like a lot but by the end of the year it adds up. When you make the switch to rebuildables you'll probably spend $9 a year on coil and wick supplies, probably less. A roll of wire and a pleat of cotton could last years.
As for the vape quality improvement...
Personally, I'd recommend the Innokin Iclear 16. It's never given me any problems and many have. The capacity is about 1.6 mls, but they make an iclear 30 with a 3 ml capacity. I also have a Vivi Nova with 3 ml capacity that I really like. The coil heads are fairly inexpensive (about a buck or so apiece, maybe less ) especially when you buy multiple 5 packs. You don't have to Sam's shopper on .... buying bulk to get a good deal, but you will save substantially when you buy more that 1 at a time. The giant auction website has deals on coils frequently, so shop around... enjoy!
Ive used a bunch of different tanks, I still use the iClear 16 mostly because the coils seem to last the longest. I can get about 5-7 days out of a coil
My wife is using the Aspire ET-S Bottom Dual Coil (BDC) Glassomizer and I use the Aspire BDC Maxi tank. I prefer the Maxi because it has a removable drip tip. Both are great tanks and fill from the bottom. Easy to use and to fill if you have dexterity issues. They are also an inexpensive alternative since both can be found for under $10. I think I paid around $6 for my Maxi's on my last purchase. The ET-S is a glass tank and the Maxi is plastic.
Here's a few links if you want to take a look:
Aspire ET-S Bottom Dual Coil (BDC) Clearomizer
Volt Aspire Maxi BDC
Keep in mind if your battery only has a 51o thread then a 510-ego adapter will be needed. They can be found on many sights and are usually $2.50 or less.

I was not being negative. I was offering my experience with tanks and my solution to the problem. If I had stayed with tanks I would have gone back to smoking. If he is having a hard time finding a tank he likes than dripping may be a more enjoyable experience as it was for me.
I'm a fan of the Kanger Unitank, but you do have to be careful to only fill it when your juice is below the second tank, or you'll flood and gurgle. Otherwise, I have 3 of them and have zero issues. I also use DCT pyrex tanks as well- great vapor and flavor, with no worries about flooding or gurgling.
kayfun or Russian 91 clone or genuine of either depending on budget.Very easy build for an RBA imo and you can micro coil with out a blow torch if you're brave and there is about a million youtube videos on how to do it.
So the Unitank has zero issues other than flooding & gurgling - the exact things the OP wants to get away from.
^^This.
Coil building is ridiculously easy and the rewards from switching to a chimney style tank like those mentioned above are countless.
My R91s and Kayfuns never leak, flood or gurgle.
The flavour is outstanding, as is the vapour production.
I group all the kanger, iclear, vivi novas et al together because they are severely lacking in design and function. If it's all you have ever used you don't know what you are missing but to recommend one as an upgrade over another is laughable.
Have used the Kanger Mini, Anyvape Davide Mini, Anyvape Davide BDC, Anyvape Davide King, Innokin iClear 30s, Vision Nano, and Aspire Nautilus. Been doing this now for a full 2 months, quit smoking on new year's eve. All of these have worked very well for me. I think I got the best flavor from the Kanger/Davide Minis (they are about the same thing). That said, I use the Vision Nanos on 510 batteries for work and they are really cheap and really good tasting. These are also great since I can easily switch back and forth between juices. The Nautilus I have two of those. Love the airflow adjustment, but the coils have not lasted for me and these are hard to get (must be a common problem). The Davide King I just got (with just two months of getting everything, everything I got I just got, hehe), but this one is a BDC that you can fill from the top. This is fantastic. It gurgles now and then but a little care and it's great. What I'm settling on are the Nautilus and the Nanos. The Nautilus for my favorite juices and the Nanos for everything else.
Maybe I'll get a VTR to wrap around the Davide King so I can fill it without removing it........

Hypocrisy?????
Dear Say10, since you are relatively new to this forum, please bear in mind that you are posting in the New Members section. The idea is to help a new vaper with his/her problem, and it's recommended to read the original post carefully and come up with an answer that will best suit the OP. Most people who post in the NM forum are just starting to vape and their main goal is to find a PV that will help them transition from smoking to vaping. That usually means something simple that doesn't require setting up a workshop, buying a multimeter, torch, different gauge Kanthal wire, several sets of pliers and other tools, making cotton or hemp wicks--and the familiarity with the Ohm's law.
The OP said clearly that he's looking for a tank that will work "out of the box.. without rigging." That, in my mind, makes the entire discussion about RBAs moot--at least until we hear from the OP again.
It's not a bad idea, you know. There are many people with all kinds of disabilities joining this forum every day. Some have poor vision, or poor motor skills, some are working moms and dads who have absolutely no time (or interest) in their busy lives to even contemplate rebuilding--they want plug and play devices that will help them quit. They don't care about intricacies of flavor, do not need a new hobby or view vaping as a competitive sport. They just want to quit smoking.
So yes, it's always a good idea to first ask the OP what exactly his/her needs are and how much they can/are willing to spend initially--just for starters--before offering suggestions.
Different things work for different people. There are many veterans on this forum who still use mini batteries with good cartomizers--because they prefer the small form and they don't mind constant recharging and refilling. I also know people who sold their mods (including ProVaris
) and use eGo-class batteries (vv or not) with simple tanks or carto tanks or dripping atties--and swear that nothing delivers a better taste than a Custom HH.357 Cisco Hybrid 510 Atomizer--not a Kayfun, not even a Vela Latina drip tank. It's not about you being right or wrong. It's about helping the OP.
There is no right or wrong in vaping. What is right for you may not be right for somebody else. Please try to understand this.
Just like there is no single "right" car, cell phone, computer or a pair of sneakers for everyone's needs and lifestyle and price range.
Whatever works well and keeps a person from smoking cigarettes is the right PV for them.

+1 for the v-nanos with automatic batteries; excellent way for people who are STILL SMOKING and looking to try out vaping; they don't hold much - maybe the equivalent of half pack - I used to use them at work and carried a small bottle of eliquid to refill. It's cigalike style, and if you get a pack for 5 v-nanos, you can use them to experiment with 5 flavors till you settle on flavors that you like.
