Hey guys. I have been vaping out of tanks for a while now and think it is time to start dripping. I currently vape using my IPV3 with an Aspire Atlantis. I am looking for replacing my Atlantis tank with an RDA.
1. What RDA (under 50$) would you recommend using on an IPV3?
2. Just out of curiosity, how are RDA builds built differently than each other? Like how is a .2 ohm build built differently than a .6 ohm build. Do you use different supplies or..?

Thank you.

CLT V2 Plus is an RDA I like. Easy to build on, plenty of airflow, wide bore drip tip.
As far as building, different guage kanthal. Different diameter coils would produce different results. Someone will come along with some links you need to checkout I don't have them readily to post. Also you should get an Ohm meter even if the IPV3 reads ohms. It could read differently like I've noticed with mine.

Excellent questions.

1) it matters what you're looking for in a lot of aspects- airflow, juice well depth, post hole width, drip tip options, height, etc.

2) Ohms (resistance) is affected by several elements- gauge of wire, length of wire, material of wire, and there may be another one I'm missing.
the longer the wire, the higher the resistance (more wraps = longer wire = higher resistance)
a larger diameter coil will also require more wire per wrap, resulting in higher resistance.
thicker wire will have lower resistance. If you want high resistance from a thick wire, you have to increase the length of the wire.

also, dual coils- if you make two identical coils at 2 ohms a piece, together, they will read 1 ohm because there are 2 of them. THAT effects resistance as well.

hope that helped. sry if it was too much.
