RBAs that do NOT leak?

[pesky_human]

I am interested in further exploring the world of rba systems. I have had some success building coils on the AGA-T2 and the IGO-L, but I want something that I can take out with me on a day to day basis. It just seems to me that any genesis atty is going to leak out of the wick and/or fill hole, since a lot of them won't wick with the fill hole closed. I want the flavor and vapor, but the leaking is a deal breaker for me.

So can anyone point me in the direction of a good quality (e.g. A drip tip actually holds in the top, unlike the IGO and AGA / machined to decent tolerances in general) RBA that I can actually buy somewhere (e.g. Not something that some guy made 5 of last year and can be had if I stalk the classies with $300 in hand and all of the stars align), and if a tank system, stainless, Ti, or glass since I use plastic meters every day?

Does such a non-leaking system exist? School me please!

Well, drippers dont leak be c you know, they dont have juice in them. So expanding from that route, bottom feeder is definitely a good option. May be the best. I dont have one but i mean you can just see how it doesnt leak.

Second is a well set up Oddy style RBA.

As for Gennies i heard the Arrow doesnt leak. Why, i dont know.

Thanks for the reply. I am looking into a Reo Grand with an RM 2 next time I get $200 to put into it. People rave about them. I would like to find a topper with a tank system at 2-3 ohm on my Provari, as well, though, if suck a thing exists.

RBA with many wraps of thin wire? Ive gotten to 4 ohm with my aga before

Both the air intake hole and drip tip can be sealed, technically it "leaks" just like any other genny, it just can't get out of the top cap.

With RBAs, the coil resistance is up to you, the coil builder.
As for "leakproof", genesis type systems generally aren't the best option. Most will leak a bit, if not kept upright. Sometimes not alot, but as far as totally leakproof? Not reliable. The arrow may be an exception. I don't know. I've never seen one.
Right now, the Kayfuns are popular. They aren't genesis systems. They use either silica or cotton wicks, and are pretty reliably leak free.

I have to agree on the Kayfun....I have the Kayfun v3.1 and been using it for almost two weeks now and the ONLY time it has leaked, and by leaked I mean flooding of the atomizer chamber and having juice go into the collection chamber is when I filled it by taking the cap off and filling it that way. Even when I overfilled it through the fill port, it only gurgled a tiny bit and cleared up by my fourth draw.

Spheroid, new batch coming on Monday. Support is unparalleled.

Yeah, I forgot about the Spheroid. I've heard good things about it.

My personal favorites at them moment, none of which leak, are the Kayfun 3.1, Kayfun Lite, Terminator C (Odysseus clone) and the Hercules (Ithaka clone).

The Kayfun line are all incredible, somewhat on the pricey side for some, but worth every penny. Availability is limited as well, but not impossible.

The second two I mentioned are both made by Rainbow Heaven, are very affordable, and are very well made clones of their originals...to the point where most parts are interchangeable. There are other companies making their own versions of them, notably Magoo-S and Tobeco, both lower cost. Tobeco products I do not recommend, but if you can get a hold of the Magoo-S version of the Ithaka go for it..they just can be harder to come by that the readily available Rainbow ones.

The attys I recommended are all silica based and have a wonderful vape to them when properly set up. You wont be disappointed with any of them.

Yeah i just searched up a review on them. That is quite a design they got there.

Oh and i just cheked my RSST, i stood it upside down for 10 minutes, not a drop of leak. Its just about using the right wick configuration.

 

[Kataphraktos]

My Kayfun 3.1 and my Ithaka don't leak, either, but the Spheroid is a natural anti-leak device, due to the filler material.

The Arrow is just amazing, it's the atty that made me use genesis again. Really innovative, and a killer vape as well.
A bit fiddly to set up, but once you get the hang of it, it's no problem.

Just when I thought I had completed my atty collection... which included no gennies...

Lol. I'm known as an enabler by many of my vaping buddies.

Now add a Nemesis with a 17mm top cap, and you have quite the pretty package.

Arrow and Bagua definitely make a good lookin' team too. Real pocket-friendly Genny setup

Obviously Genesis systems are not the best for a leak-proof system, but I regularly take my RSST and AGA-T2 to work with me and throw it in my side cargo pocket. I do use a near solid wick that's rolled pretty tight and fills most of the wick hole, so perhaps that's why I don't have too much issue. I wouldn't trust it upside down in my pocket but Ive thrown it in there sideways a few times and haven't had too much issue.

If you want to make sure you don't have any leaks I'd probably just go for a dripper like a few others have mentioned.
