    Also I have never really got the difference between rda and rta. Explain please.

    Nevermind, I know the difference just having a brain block plus it’s been a long time since I’ve dripped.
    I know you did know. I’ll look through my tanks and see if I can come up with any ideas for you for a single coil rta.

    It's been a long time since I dripped too. In fact, it was in the days before the invention of tanks when you used a simple 510 or 910 or 801 atomizer with a lousy cartridge or dripped. If I use a rba now, it's with a squonker. Who remembers these old atomizers?

    I'm planning to get a small mixing session in later,

    Andy's Shake • (Andes mint shake)
    Stone Walls V2.0 • (butterscotch, coffee, tobacco, custard)
    Dodge Swinger 1973 • ( butterscotch custard)

    Might do two versions of DS1973, just different %.

    I have a stack of new and unused batteries for backup. I toss the old ones when they start not lasting.
    That never worked for me. With multiple setups it's too hard to tell how long a battery is lasting, without keeping extra records like puff counters.

    Couple of years ago I got a cheapo battery tester. I wouldn't really trust the accuracy of the capacity measurement. But what I found that I did trust was that by the 2 year mark the measured capacity went down by around half. Since then I just chuck them after 2 years.

    The way I handle batteries is when I take one out of a mod I charge the old one then put it on the back of the rack, and take the one at the front of the rack to replace it. That means that the batteries sit in the rack at full charge waiting for their turn. They say sitting at full charge isn't good for batteries but it's the easiest way I've found to do it.

    RDAs have "more intense" flavor because usually they are short and you have an "immediate response" because of the short distance... !
    But you can have a quite similar effect from a short RTA too... (something like the Gear RTA) !
    But on the other hand with the RDAs you can change builds or flavors much easier, plus the whole dripping procedure it's a nice experience too... !
    Must say easy is what drives me. Meaning a big tank that I don't have to refill as often. More flavor would be nice, but not if it means more work.

    Most intense flavor I ever got was from a disposable that my GS showed up with last year. Probably had 30% flavoring, plus it's an expensive way to vape.

    I was talking about flavor wise... !

    But yeah, with high capacity RTAs it's better because i don't have to drip every single moment, or to fill up a short RTA... ! I still like and use my old 4+mls...!? MTL RTAs... !

    Your mention of butterscotch got me to pull out an RDA so I could drip some of my creamy butterscotch. Yum!!!

    Ah...
    I never had any desposable... and probably i will never have... !

    I prefer my Rebuildables almost 99.9%, sometimes im vaping my Nautilus if i don't have time to build or if im not in the mood... ! But almost never happens because i have my Rebuildables in order and in rotation... !
