looking for a good rba that fits flush on the roller

[moey2k2001]

Hey guys & girls, please give me your feedback.

I'm looking for a good simple looking RBA that sits flush on the Roller by Atmizoo.
I'm very open to suggestions, I don't want to spend more than 50 bucks max.
I had the kayfun Lite clone but it seemed to always kinda leak out, sometimes a lot, sometimes only a few drops.
I always had bottom coils till now, are top coils better for preventing leaking?

What's your suggestions on a good RBA that can also produce good vapor?

Thanks.

You could always try a kraken or an old genesis style aga-t. They trade the chance of leaking out for no reason at all for the guarantee that they will leak out if they are laid on their side, but as long as they are kept upright they won't leak. I honestly use my Kayfun more often these days, but I wick my old Genesis atomizers with rayon and use them regularly.

So that means Geneses atomizers have to be upright no matter what?... hhhmmm I think it's not 100% avoidable to tilt it somehow while transporting.

Is the Kraken reliable? Oh rayon sounds interesting. I never used that one before. From what I read on Google now it absorbs more... Does it also taste better than cotton?

What of atomizers with airflow control? any suggestions?

 

[imsoenthused]

No, just mostly upright, basically if you lay it down on it's side it's going to leak everywhere, but I used to keep mine in the little dash holder at about a 45 degree angle with no problems. Kraken is a genesis, just a newer nice looking one, and I love rayon, it wicks faster than anything else, gives as clean of a flavor as stainless steel wicks but it's as easy to work with as cotton.

As for airflow control in an RBA other than the Kayfun you've got the Fogger v4 or the Aqua.

 

[moey2k2001]

Yeah well I thought of the Fogger. The Aqua is too pricy for my budget. Only a clone would justify it, the question is if it's good in a clone.

 

[moey2k2001]

I haven't had the urge to try stainless steel or ceramic. How are they?
What's your take, best for long term, good vapour & taste? I suppose I have to try rayon.

 

[imsoenthused]

I've never tried ceramic, I read about how brittle they were, and at that price I just never bothered. I was satisfied completely with stainless until rayon came along. Tried cotton, but just couldn't get over how badly it wicked and how it made every juice, every single one, taste kind of like it was being strained through an old t-shirt. I may just be sensitive to the taste after years of using stainless mesh wicks, but cotton made every vape I tried taste like cotton, no matter how loosely I wicked it.

I would just trouble shoot your kayfun clone. Unless it's a very crappy clone, most leaking is due to poor wicking or allowing air to pass into the chamber. First thing I would try is stuffing more wick into the coil and/or making sure every bit is locked down.

The machining is poor. It leaks out from the threads. I tried a lot of things and it never quiet sealed 100%. Liquid always found its way out.

Oh that really sux. I can vouch for the kfl+ on focal ecig. Way better than the tobeco clone.

oh thnx for the tip
I'll give it a try

not at all if wicked "properly".... I use 3mm silica in the tank to the build deck, place rayon on top of the wick, and run a nano horizontal coil on top of the rayon/cotton ( your choice) the silica feeds the cotton/rayon keeping it "dripper" wet. Since the cotton is so juicy, it "seals" the hole and keeps air from displacing the juice when layed down.... works for me. Only time mine leaked (RSST) was when I forgot to put the little rubber fill plug back in...

don't fully understand your methods there. if i place cotton on the kanthal then it won't be able to breathe right, no?
