RBA help... Russian or Aqua... clone or not.

[umidontknow]

So, i talked myself into getting me a RBA. Well I have let the posts here and youtube videos convince me. I have it narrowed down the the russian or aqua. I was wondering if anyone has any opinions of either or both. i have watched all the reviews but these reviews come from experienced vapors. Experienced I am not. I am however great at electronics and rebuilding stuff. I already rebuild my protank coils, so i dont think the task of building the rbas would be that big of a deal. I do want a tank i can fill and still be able to toss it in my pocket and climb with it. I am under the assumption quite a few are prone to leaking if not maintained in the upright. Also i am sure original equipment is always tighter and has a better quality, but for a newbie I am not sure if the $50-70 difference in the oem and clones are worth it. Unless the OEM's are less likely to leak. Any advice? If it matters I use a vamo 5 and 50/50pg/vg mixes

I would get a tobeco kayfun and they run 50 bucks and don't leak. Great vape and flavor. Micro coil with cotton works good too.

IMO, get the Russian. It's a clone of the Kayfun which I absolutely love. From what I hear about the Aqua, It's not that different to build but only holds 2ml of juice.

I do have two authentic Kayfuns and one clone from Fasttech. I can tell you that the quality is really (surprisingly) pretty good with the clone, but nothing like the original. I carry at least one kayfun in my pocket and it never leaks. It makes no difference what mod you use them on, unless you have a mechanical, then the coil would need to be a low ohm, but with the Vamo, you're good.

So kayfun or kayfun lite?

So kayfun or kayfun lite?

We'll that depends on you. The lite (not lite plus) does not have an air adjustment like the 3.1 or lite plus. I prefer an open airy draw, so the 3.1 is my tank of choice. Some folks have complained that the lite is to tight a draw for them.

So I started out exactly like you, rebuilding evod coils and just like you I'm good at tinkering with things. The first rba I got was an ehpro kayfun lite clone and I have to say I love it. I use an mvp2 with my kayfun lite clone filled with 50/50 juice all day long.

Kayfun clone with the adjustable air flow, it's hard to beat for what it is! Here's a vendor, Kayfun Lite but I've bought two off of evilbay and been happy as well.

I prefer the Russian 91% over the Kayfun Lite +, (Easier access AFC, true adjustable connection pin, integrated drip tip and adapter sleeve for drip tip) but the clones look interesting too. I ordered some from Fastech, should have them by 2015. lol

Really like my Aqua, easy to build and the first RBA I've owned that isn't too fussy to set up and doesn't leak. I like my Kayfun Lite also, I have just had better luck reproducibly building the Aqua, but I think both are well designed products. Never tried the Russian or other clones so can't comment thereupon.

I like My aqua also easy to build.. I prefer flavor to vapor. this give great flavor and the vapor is good.

Fine, you guys sold me. ill order both the aqua and the kayfun. Clones of course.
