rda's and rba's

is there a diffrence in these in the manner of taste and stuff? I ask cause all of this is rebuildabe and i figure if i am making the coils then each and every one should have the same taste effect. Does design of them make some kind of diffrence. I mean i see people talk about the kayfun and how great it is and vicious ant stuff is so great. is it not just great cause you did an awesome job of building the coil? i would think they would all be great if i am doing the work. Please correct me if i am wrong. I am just trying to figure out if having any of these has any kind of benefit other than they look good.

Yes the coil will be similar if you build it yourself, but each device can have its own airflow, power connection, design for juice collection and wicking. In some cases the materials themselves matter.

Watching YouTube videos, it seems that every model has their fans and an equal number of detractors.

Many people like to start with an RSST. They are cheap and seem to work.

since i have still not been able to make a decent coil for my kanger stuff i am not about to start getting into these. i do like the way they look and all. once i get the coil building down i plan on giving these a try i just was wondering what the real diffrence was other than looks.

The KFL has quite a few re-building videos on the subject. Here is PB on the Russian vs KFL and rebuilding a micro coil.

Based on your avatar, I assume you own a ProVari. If so, I can tell you that the Z-Atty Pro from ProVape would make a dandy little stocking stuffer for Christmas. The ones they are currently shipping have ceramic wicks. Very very nice.

Some are tanks (RBA's) which can hold 2 - 3 ml of juice, and some are drippers (RDA's).

I believe you need to be the type who likes to tinker with your gear to get into these. They are not plug-N-play easy, especially for a beginner. Making the wicks & coils does have a learning curve and skill set. Add to that that you will need some way to measure the coil's resistance (multimeter, ohm meter on a mod, etc) and learn about battery chemistries and amp limits, and you have a lot of homework to learn before you even choose which rebuildable and coil setup to use.

oh lord this may be more than i can take on. Math has never been my strong point.

I'm glad I bought an AGI for my first. It works with a tank/genesis, and it screws apart and functions as a dripper. I'm starting to replace all my cartotanks with vacuum tank rbas..like the kayfun. Good clones of it can be bought for around $40..

It depends. If you want to do a simple non sub ohm single coil RDA to use on a regulated APV with an ohm meter built in, it isn't too hard. If you want to do a sub ohm quad coil on a non regulated mech mod, you better get some knowledge and an ohm meter.

I think wicking an RSST or IGO is pretty straightforward. There are lots of videos out there showing the process.

I started with RBAs a couple of months ago. Now, everything I vape is on an RBA or RDA. It is well worth the effort required for the best vape I have experienced.

while every device has it's fanbbase you are correct that design plays a roll in the flavor and vapor. all drippers work the same but even with identicle coils they do not taste the same. same goes with things like genesis tanks, I tried a lot of them to get the couple I use now because they all work good but the ones I have produce the flavor the way I like it.

as for that ant cyclone dripper - whew what a little powerhouse that thing is and the VA people def deserve their fan base.

I have been having issues getting the coils small enough to fit in the space needed. I came home and tried it again. It is by no means pretty but this time it is working. Well at least longer than others I have tried. I do have a provari so I am using that to check them. I am sure the more I try the better they will become. It is hitting 2.0 now so that is about what I wanted. Will just keep practicing and hope for the best.
