Hello 94Civic and welcome to the wonderful world of RBAs. Yes, the flavor is WAY better, even in cheap clone RBAs. The vapor production is also far superior, and you may find yourself lowering your nicotine by a large amount when you get a good coil going.
I must also tell you that you shouldn't rush into this step without doing the proper research. Before you build a coil, I highly recommend visiting the link in my signature. It is a reference link to an online spreadsheet with a compiled list of incredibly helpful posts by very knowledgeable people. Please make sure to read the battery information section, as using incorrect
batteries and wire/coil combinations can be very dangerous, and even lead to battery failure (sometimes ending in explosion, depending on battery chemistry). Please take your time to read through this info, you'll find your experience with RBAs much more enjoyable in the long run.
Glad to have another genny owner in the family. Enjoy the ride!
