Definitely! The rba's are and will be great to have!
You will get the hang of it! I build alot of 1.8 to 2.0 ohm and 2.0 to 2.4 ohm coils, and my little technique involves heating the wire to take the springiness out of it before building my coil, then I wrap 8 times around 1/16th drill bit or 1.5 on my coil building tool, then I squeeze the coil together while still on the tool, then I take it off heat it again then I squeeze the coil together, and I put it back on my tool and install the coil into the base im building on. Thats how I do mine :)

What gauge of wire are you using? And how do you heat the wire? 1.5 to 1.8 seems to be my sweet spot for ohms for some reason.

Honestly, I don't know. I don't see why it wouldn't work, but I don't have any Triton parts.

As for juice testing, I usually use a small chamber RDA (like a Derringer or Stumpy). Then I use dual coils and rayon wicks. Rayon actually clears flavor very well... drip your juice on it and vape it. Then either drip straight VG to clear the flavor or just vape till it's dry and move on to the new flavor.

I did pick up a new RDA that I need to try. TINY chamber and deck... It's the Vertex Jr. and it looks very promising for flavor testing, but since I got it from FT it needs a little modification attention in order to get it into working order... one of the screw holes in the post isn't up to snuff. :(

I figured I'd ask cause one of the places I shop at has just the RBA for the Triton for $6 and is having a pretty good sale. I have a Stumpy coming....but it's on the slow boat to nowhere right now with the rest of my stuff :lol:

For $6, it's probably worth a shot to try it out. If nothing else, you could pick up a Triton later, if it doesn't work in the Target. You're gonna LOVE the Stumpy... you can set the airflow to work on just one side if you prefer single coils, or you can run duals. It's not a super wide open airflow, but is still capable of good, deep lung hits. And the flavor is phenomenal... every bit as good as my Derringer and Hobo.

I really need to fix and try that Vertex Jr. It has such a tiny chamber that I'm almost certain that it's gonna be a flavor machine... better than the Magma, if I had to guess... ;)

yah - any atlantis/ triton compatible rba should work fine in the target tank, i would think

Okay, you guys have convinced me to try it just to see. And if it doesn't work, I'll just ship the RBA down to my brother in law who has a Triton tank (and then I'll have to teach him to build coils!) :D

I'm not much for wide open airflow anyways....Oh, and Kaz? I have a Hobo coming too.....one of the Rainbow ones that you pointed out to me so I can matchy matchy with everything :lol::lol::lol:

Sa-weet! I hope it works out for you though! It'd be nice to have "just in case". I'm still not giving up my cCells though! :D

Nice!! The Hobo is awesome, as well... but a little trickier to build. If you want I can post build pics of the Hobo and the Stumpy to help get ya started when you're ready.

What kinds are they? The bottom one in the square package looks a lot like one of them that was given to me.
The 2 in the square tins are authentic 454 Big Block. I have 2 clones and love them. These were on clearance at 101 for $10 each.
The taller tank is the Serpent Dual Post RTA.
And the Hannya Postless RTA

I know, I love my Ccells....I have a clone Atlantis 2 coming just so I'll have another tank I can use em in hopefully :) I sent a pack of them down to my brother in law to try in his Triton and my nephew to try in his Atlantis 2 and they both agree that they taste a lot better...In fact, they posted a video on FB a couple of days ago where they fogged up the inside of my BIL truck with em lol!

okay - going to have two new recipes approved to go 'on the menu' for sharing... Keister Bunny (clone of Suicide Bunny's OB) and Naughty Lemon (clone of Steam Factory's Muffcake)... Blueberry is still a work in progress... need to taste test the Bourbon Peach Cheesecake (new recipe, not a shared one...) and the initial CocoBerry Cream attempts...

got 6L worth of flavors mixed up (all flavors added - need to add nic, pg, vg and put em on the shelf) including a big batch of Naughty Lemon... Keister Bunny is gonna have to wait till my CAP Cake Batter gets here from BCV... THEN I should be able to mix some new testers this weekend - first beignet variants, glas poundcake clones, cotto's revenge bourbon custard clone, variant on the key lime pie that has been in the works, tweaked version of the Appalachian Sippin Sauce... and a dragonfruit cream... going to be trying out the new FA Nonna's Cake flavoring (smells heavenly)...

LOL!! So I take it that they liked 'em, huh? ;) That's awesome! Someday, I might pick up one of the Supertanks because the top-fill would be nice to have. I think the only tanks I have right now are an old genny that I never use, an Orchid with a cracked tank, a Silver Play V2, and the Target. The SP and the Target get a lotta love, but the RDAs get a lot of use. Especially the Stumpy, because it's my only BF atty at the moment.

    Sounds like I need to start saving up my money for another round of flavor buying.:)

    rofl - since we're on a roll, the lady wife got two batches of beer bottled this weekend and tested all three of the barrels - she's thinking one more week and they are there, we'll check this weekend... and, found some bulk pricing on the flavorings, direct from liquor quik ($99 for a 1 liter bottle vs $4-5 per 20ml bottle...)
