It depends on your tank. I have two drippers, 5 subtanks, and 11 Kayfuns. I prefer the mouth-to-lung type of vaping so my Kayfuns are my go-to devices. The subtanks are for those juices I like that are higher VG. And the drippers (both Velocity's) are for those occasions when I want more flavor than the subtanks can deliver - the Velocity can really deliver flavor. If are satisfied with the volume of vapor, the flavor, and the throat hit you're getting with your tank. Then you are good. The drippers (RDAs) will give you a big boost in flavor and vapor, but at the cost of juice. You constantly have to drip more juice on the coils - hence the term "dripping". And it uses a LOT more. In my Kayfun tanks, I can go through around 10ml a day. When I'm dripping, I can go through 10ml in about 2 hours.
I've just recently, last two minths or so, gotten an RDA. They are pretty good for flavor, but it can be a hassel. I usually use my subtank for daily use and will use the dripper for hime use when im wanting a different flavor than what's in the tank. It just kind of depends on how much time you have to redrip every few hits.
Might want to check out sub ohm vs non sub ohms. Makes a big difference in performance and cost.
Yeah I keep hearing that dripping tastes much better and what not but I used to smoke a pack of Newport's a day so I would be dripping a super lot. yeah , may be best to start youtubing about different subs and rda/rba"s
Wise move. Now is the time to decide if you want to pay a lot or little. Might want to check out a deep well RDA. I can vape non sub ohm for approx. 45 min. on a deep well RDA. Ok clouds, super flavor.
a good RTA with a building deck you like is the best of both worlds 
Hi and welcome to the board. It's all about what you like, really. Drippers tend to give more flavor and vapor, but there's a cost in juice as they use a lot more than most tanks. Like many people, I use both. I take a tank out in the car with me for convenience sake-- albeit I just ordered a Dig Dripper to see if I can get the best of both worlds-- and I use a dripper at home. Similarly mods: I use a regulated mod-- SX Mini M-- in the car, but I usually have my drippers on a mechanical mod. Unless I am blowing cloud, of course, when I haul out the Snow Wolf.
May have to use 2 as well. I have to see the taste difference..but at the same time I don't want to have to keep refilling
That's what I thought. Until I tried it. Now I find I like drippers, and don't mind. It is, however, too much a PITA to carry it all around with you. I reserve it for home.
It's all about personal choice, some like the ease of tanks, some like rda's because you can completely customize your coils and aren't limited to size like a rta.
My suggestion, get used to the tank, learn about RDA's before even thinking of getting into them, Battery safety, ohm's, wire sizes, juice ratio's all that fun stuff...

Sticking with a tank does not necessarily mean losing flavor. My Kayfuns are all set up with 2.1 ohm coils that I run at 15.5 watts - they are all 28 gauge, 10 wraps, 3mm. Believe me, I'm not sacrificing any flavor by going the tank route. I don't get nearly the cloud you get with a dripper or sub-ohm tank, but I get just as much, if not more, flavor.
you also need to decide if you want to build your own coils or not, if not there are tanks that take prebuilt coils that will hold their own against a dripper in flavor and clouds -- the Smok tfv4 is a good choice -- nice cloud - nice flavor - and has a dozen or so different pre-built coils you can buy if you don't want to make your own.
if you want to build you own coils then the Steam Crave Aromamizer RDTA is the absolute best tank i've used to date -- super nice vapor, outstanding flavor, and with the two post velocity deck its super easy to build on. get some rayon too if your going this route -- I haven't picked up any of my many many RDA's (drippers) since I got a couple of these bad boys -- no need the flavor and vapor is as good as any of them and it has a great tank/feeding design that doesn't leak and keeps the wick nice and wet

Yea D , I never built my own coil ever. I mean ever. So it's really a whole different ball game but it seems simple and if they last as long as the regular built already coils then I should start. It would probably also be so much cheaper !! There are gazillion videos to teach me lol.
Building coils isn't as hard as it seems. I bought a Kayfun Lite+ last Black Friday and never looked back. If you have a lot of vape shops nearby you can check with them to see if any of them offer instruction in coil building. Many of my local shops will build your coils for you (only simple coils) or they have classes to teach you how to do your own. I did like a lot of people and watched a lot of the gazillion videos that are out there. Rip Trippers, before he started trying to be a showman, posted a LOT of instructional videos on how to build coils. And my coils last me months. I only have to re-wick every few days. Wire is cheap - $5 for 100 feet. Cotton is cheap - less than $10 for 200 pads of sheseidi (sp?). that's enough wire and wick to last years.
Yea , i watched videos last night and seems easy enough ..now just need to order some wire , cotton and a deep tank
Wire - temco or lightning vapes
Cotton - Japanese cotton, this: http://www.amazon.com/MUJI-Makeup-F...id=1448235157&sr=8-5&keywords=japanese+cotton or this: http://www.amazon.com/Cotton-Labo-O...48235245&sr=8-2&keywords=japanese+labo+cotton
Tank - plenty to choose from. The Subtank mini works if you're looking for direct lung inhale capabilities. It takes both pre-made Kanger coils and has an RBA deck you can put a simple build on. For mouth to lung vaping, I like Kayfuns
