I'm looking to buying a rda. Probably a SmokTech rda. It comes with assembled wick and coil, but I'm buying an extra coil and wick for the future. Is this a good rda for a new vapor? I'm just looking for the coulds of vape and flavor. SmokTech RDA - Mt Baker Vapor - Electronic Cigarettes

What ecig are you using? I started with the Igo-L. It's not too tiny so it makes building pretty easy for beginners like me. They have different versions like the Igo-F or S depending on what ecig you're using if you want it to be about the same size.
I'm using a kanger evod battery. It runs at constant 3.7v and it's 1000mah
Are you going to buy a multimeter to test your builds? I highly recommend it. If not you could ruin your battery or worse. You'll want to make sure you can check the resistance of your builds. Make sure you do your research on rebuilding. Also discount vapers sells one called the Wyvern RDA that would sit nicely on that size battery. They also sell pre built coils that I believe are 1.8ohm. I've used them & they're pretty good.
Bt801 is perfect for ur battery got mine at discount vapers its beast! Rda looks funky and wont that well on ur battery
Unless you are buying a multimeter to test the coils before putting them on a battery, you may want to wait a bit on the rebuildable aspect of vaping. It is a cool thing to build your own coils, but I don't think you sound really at that place yet.
You don't have to go the RDA route to start dripping. All you really need is a 510 atomizer and a drip tip.

I have to agree with this statement. If you're just starting to drip, there's nothing wrong with using a 510 dripping atty and a drip tip before jumping into RDA/RBAs. Before you start to rebuild your own coils, there are certain pieces of equipment you're going to need before you jump in like the aforementioned multimeter and/or a device that can measure your rebuilt attys resistance at the very least. I, like you was once curious about RBAs but instead of jumping right in, I did tons of research, watched plenty of videos, and started with a regular bridgeless dripper. From there, I watched more videos and did more reading to fully grasp the difference in wire resistances, wicking materials, Ohms law, what's needed for testing coils, etc. Armed with this information, it made it easier for me to get into RBA/RDAs (which I love now and couldn't live without).
I've got one of the mini RDAs. It's a better match for ego size devices IMO. I dunno why StarDose says you have to mod it. There are tons of different ways to build a coil, and I believe that's the most important part. Sure you can drill out the hole to get more airflow, or stuff more wick into an RDA with a recessed bottom to hold more juice, but if you just wanna be able to switch from flavor to flavor without filling a whole tank, a short wick and a simple coil is all you need.
You will need to get some way to test resistance tho, so you can figure out what works best for you with your setup and so you can make sure you aren't under 1.5 ohms (which would possibly wreck your battery). For me, I aim for 1.8 to 2.0 ohms (4/5 wrap of 32 gauge kanthal on a 3mm wick usually does the trick). If you really get into it you'll probably want some sort of variable voltage (or variable wattage) device. You might even get into mechanical mods and sub-ohm coil builds (just make sure you read up on and understand all the safety precautions). Or you may be perfectly happy with a 2 ohm build on your Evod battery. It's a whole other way to vape. You can get as deep into it as you want or keep it as simple as buying the prebuilt replacement wicks, but once you learn how easy it is to make your own I don't see why anyone buys premade!

On the topic on non-rebuildable drippers, the smoktech brideless atty that MBV sells was my first dripper (they're sold out at the moment, but I hear they're having a big restock on the 10th), and it works fine once you get the hang of it. Just don't put too much juice in it or it "floods" which means you won't get any vapor and it may leak a bit. Just keep a paper towel or napkin handy while you figure it out.
