RDA & RTA airflow difference

[jimjimjim]

Hi all, I am new to this forum so please dont roast me

i have switched from smoking to vaping about 6 months ago, moved from those ecig pens to a kangertech sub box mini after 2 monts, some of you might tell me to get a mech mod but i am happy with this as an alternative to smoking. Anyway, I ditched the RTA that came with the subox mini, and put on a RDA, i been told the mod is not suitable for this but i am enjoying it at 0.3 ohms, recently i have been travelling alot and want to switch back to the RTA, but the drag just feels soo tight in comparison to the RDA even with max airflow. I made sure my cotton is not too tight and coils are far enough from the airfow on the RTA deck, and trying to do a lung hit is impossible... ..does RDA naturally provide a smoother lung hit (airflow wise) or is there something wrong with my RTA build. I use 70vg30pg flavourless juice and 6mg/12mg nic on RDA and RTA respectively.

Check out the Mutank Rta and MT Rta. Easy to build, easy to wick, nice airflow.

The uwell crown, smok tfv4, even the steam crave aromamizer have plenty of airflow. I suggest you try any of the rebuildables. The steam crave aromamizer is pretty wicked and easy to build on

Been watching some reviews on these tanks, honestly they all look promising, shame I live in UK and it would take so long for it to delivery. going to pop in the store tomorrow and hope they have these.

Thanks for the suggestions, you guys are the real heros!!

From what I have seen, a good majority of RTA's will have a more restrictive airflow vs their RDA couterparts. My presumption is that in RTA (generally) people won't be running them quite as high as an RDA and a tighter draw can bring about a better flavor. There are some options that others mentioned above that have looser draws on them AND still keep good flavor. +1 for the Crown in my book.

Generally speaking tanks will have more restrictive airflow than drippers. But some tanks are open and some drippers are tight.
