I got into RBA's early on, less than 2 months after I started vaping, but I never used a regulated mod, I went straight to a mechanical, and from here I cannot see any reason to use a regulated mod, ever. If you want to go sub-ohm a mech is the only way to go. I coil my RBA's for .8 ohm, which is my sweet spot, and you can't get there with a regulated mod.

I applaud your decision to get into RBA's, go girl! Nothing vapes like a well set up RBA, nothing. Of course you will have to learn how to make wicks and coils, and you will need the means to check your ohms. Your Evic might have that. The RSST is an excellent choice for a starter RBA, I have one and I love it. I think eventually you will end up going with a mechanical mod. It's just going to work better with your RBA.

RSSTs are a great RBA for beginners. Make sure you get a decent multimeter as well so you can safely check the resistance of your coil builds.

i thought the evic got an resistance check ?

Yes i thought about a mechanical mod but im still a beginner and i dont want to damage my starting kit ;) im not so confident with the electrical things !

Hi. Yes, you can use them together. I own both. Remember that the eVic will only run resistances down to about 1.2ish ohms. So, you will most likely want to get 28 gauge kanthal and wrap it 4 times minimum. Good luck and have fun!

Yheaa i thought about a VAMO V3 or 4 too , what would be better ? Or even a provari ?

I just set up a girl I know with a 2.2 ohm coil on her eVic. It is working splendidly. I think I did a five wrap coil with 30 guage wire on mesh. She was very grateful...

OP, get you a multimeter to be safe. Retired is right, you need to have one to do any sort of RBA safely, particularly when you are starting out. You can use it to see how accurate your eVic is, too. Once you see it is spot on, you can rely on the eVic. I have an ohm checker on my ProVari, but I always ohm out the coil BEFORE I install it onto my mod.

If you can't afford the proper safety equipment, perhaps RBAs aren't meant to be in your immediate future yet. A decent multimeter isn't that expensive.

Could someone of you recommend me one ? :)

and can i use more powerfull batteries in my evic then ? Or should i dont buy the evic and buy a provari or Vamo ?

Yheaa right but i would have to buy one , and i have only a budget of 100 Euro , so i think there isnt space for buying it

In case you decide to go with eVic, you can get your eVic from the below link. Select the promotional offer and the price will be 64.99 eur. That's the cheapest I could find in Europe doing a search in English. Maybe you can find it cheaper in Germany. Also it's the one with 2 screws on top, I understood there was a poorer version where the cap was just glued. This is the place I got mine from:

JoyeTech eVic

You can find a multimeter as cheap as 10 euros. Check your local electronics stores, if not order it online. There are those fancy ones for ecigs, with a 510 connector, those run at 20 euros.

I don't know anything about Vamo, only that you can find it for 38.99 eur here: Vamo V5 APV MOD

The provari in europe runs for 200 eur+, so I guess that's out of your budget. As the power output goes it's the strongest of the three you mentioned. You can get a mini for 195 eur here: http://estore.niclarity.de/

Again, this is what I found to be cheapest in Europe, doesn't mean there aren't some other places that I didn't find yet :)

TBH , i am very unsure which one to take now :( i am unsure about everything atm ^^ i just want a lot of vaporand good taste .

Maybe somebody of you could send me a good kit :(

Could i get a good (alot of vapor) Kit from this site ? http://www.thebestshop.eu/shop/

I don't know, I started with eVic and protank 2 myself and am into vaping for 43 days. That's what I concluded would work best for me after reading lots from this forum and watching countless of youtube clips.

As for the "a lot of vapor"... I think many people would agree to tell you that you will not be able to do that from the start and you will have a bad experience. Vapor is something you need to get used to, you cannot go from 0 to big clouds.

IMO, take it easy and you will have an increasingly pleasant experience :)

Sure but i own an eGo-T for a longer time and in dont want this anymore ^^


I think i will go with the VAMO V5 APV Mod and the RSST and i hope i can get good clouds with it :)

As we have all mentioned, the means to check your ohms resistance is very important and something I got early on has been a splendid tool for building my RBA's:



I love this little gadget, and it's a snap to use. Just screw the atty in and throw the switch. Easier to use than a mulitimeter... if you can get one. They are in great demand and one of the harder vaping items to get. In this photo it has one of my Protank coils in it, wound to 1.8 ohms.

It's a very nice thing to have, you can put your RBA in it and use it as a stand for your rebuild, which is much better than rebuilding it on your mod.

Well there's really no reason to let a mechanical intimidate you, it's a very simple device, and it's not going to damage your RSST, in fact your RSST was made for it. You just have to be sure you are using the right batteries for it. Those would be the high drain red AW IMR or Eftest ones. I use the 18650's exclusively, being a chain vaper, but you can also use the smaller ones, 18350's or 18500's.

You are also going to want a good charger, and I'd recommend the Nitecore Intellicharger. Avoid the Trustfire charger.

I currently own both an Evic and a Vamo V2. For what it's worth I always recommend that someone buy the Vamo over the Evic. The extra Volts and Amps you can get out of a Vamo really make all the difference.

The Vamo also has a quicker Ohmmeter, which is all you truly need to check the resistance of a rebuildable atomizer. The Evic has a decent ohmmeter in it, but in order to get it to update "quickly" I have to remove the atomizer and reattach it. The Vamo just requires that I hold down the right button for a second.

A standalone multimeter is nice to have, but in my opinion and experience it is not required if you already have a device that will read the resistance AND offers low-resistance (short circuit) protection.

Wrap a 28-gauge microcoil on that RSST and throw a cotton-ball wick in it and you'll get some clouds.
