Rebuildable worth the effort?

I don't have experience with either of those products specifically, but I will say that I was highly resistant to rebuilding at first, and after jumping in, I can tell you it's, at the very least, worth trying.
Rebuilding & rebuildables (regardless of the brand and model) are not for everyone. Because even if you can get to a point where you can build and wick a rebuildable properly in 60 seconds, that's still 45 seconds longer than it would take you to change a factory coil in a non-rebuildable tank. Some vapers do not want to be bothered with any of this rebuilding stuff.
If you desire as much convenience as possible when it comes to vaping, then rebuildables are not for you.
So be honest with yourself. If the thought of putting more time and effort into vaping is not appealing to you, then no rebuildable (Ares 2 or any other) will be "worth the effort".
For me, it's worth it as long as I am able to rebuild. It saves me tons of money and gives me more control over my vaping. And using rebuildable atomizers sure beats trying to rebuild factory coil heads lol.

If you're happy with your current setup, then there's no need for a change.
But if you're eager to learn and broaden your horizons, then the Ares, or any other rebuildable, is worth a try. I don't know the T20S, but I think a proper RTA should give you noticably more flavor. At least it is much more versatile and you have many options to play with.

Don't think so much in terms of rebuilding being about convenience. Once you know how to rebuild you make your own ease of use. Rather consider why it is that you want to vape at all? In the end it's about taking control of what you put in your body, at long last. The enjoyment is the certain wonderful side benefit over the alternatives.
Good luck.
Good luck.
Welcome to the forum, glad you joined us. RBA is the way to go for your future. Coils for your current setup may eventually become obsolete.

I was running 6-7 protanks (factory coils) and jumped in by getting a rebuildable. Took 10 minutes to build the coil after watching a Youtube video. The flavor was much better. I suddenly bought 6 more rebuildables.
I never went back and PIF'd the Protanks.
That was about 5-6 years ago.

Hello Folks: While agree with the ease of stock coils, I personally find enjoyment in building simple coils for my vaping, and the massive savings that I get from doing so. I find that I can dry-fire and re-wick cotton for a heckuva lot longer than I could use a stock coil, and I'm concerned that at some point, we might find it more difficult to obtain stock coils. A relatively short learning curve does indeed put you in much more control over what your coil is made of, and how you can change things up to suit yourself.
PS - TOTALLY agree with comment above regarding finding the right tank...there are so many choices. It's well-worth doing some good research, talking to people, and even if possible "hitting" a tank before deciding to get one you'd like to keep.
(Long-winded, I Know)...AND IAN. I actually do still use my T20 a bit, but use my T18 every day as a stealthy, non-clouding, incognito, work device...for as long as I am able to keep getting coils - I'll use it.

Many People think it is Well Worth the Effort.
Also, a Spool or 2 of Wire and a Bag of Cotton makes you Self-Sufficient. So you will Never have to make a Thread like this...
Out of stock atomizer heads everywhere. What is going on?
Most of the time a rebuildable tank is worth the effort.
I only got a few juice where I prefer a stock coil, just 2 to be honest, all my other setup run rebuildable tanks.
Price wise there isnt a competetion, a bag cotton and a spool of wire last for a very long time!

There is also a reward in knowing that you built something yourself (and the ability to customize it to your liking)
Sure, it will be frustrating at first, but once you get it right, it's easy to repeat over and over.

There are people who vape, and the vapers that build. Go for it, you will not regret it.
In my experience, using rebuild-able atomizers is worth any effort in their use.
Depends on your lifestyle and desire to tinker. I use both--drop-in coil for convenience, for out and about, or when I have no time or desire to build my own; RTAs for fun.
If drop in coils become no longer available, then it would be necessary to build your own. Same as stocking up nicotine and flavorings for DIY, stock up on a few RDA'S and RTA's. Get another mod or two. Tis the season for shinyitis. Wire will be available from wire manufacturers because of all the various non vape related uses. Same with batteries. But atomizers and mods my be hard to get soon so get what you can while you can. I'm almost set for life with nicotine and will be getting a few more RTA'S and possibly one more mod soon. Or two. For now, I'm still loving the fireluke mesh and have a small stash of extra coils with plans for another 5 pack or two. Building your own coils isn't that hard really once you get the hang of it. So, I'll say yes, it's worth learning. Same with DIY juice. Go for it, you wont be disappointed. You can clean and rewick a well built set of coils far far longer than you can use a drop in. A week or two for a drop in coil or months and months with a hand wrapped coil.
