Recommended RBAs for beginner?

OK, I'm actually sad to see this not mentioned as a cheap and quality dripper to start with: the Igo - L. Single coil, fair-sized deck to build on and a good dripper for a beginner.
A few things though when asking for RBA suggestions:
1. Know what kind of connection/ threading is on your mod. Most are 510, but there are adapters for nearly everything. Regulated or mechanical does not matter with an RBA since you control the resistance.
2. Specify if clones are acceptable as suggestions. The "real" Russian is well over $100 from most retailers... and SvoeMesto makes the original Kayfun (even if some clones use a similar logo).
3. Try to add something about how you vape. Are your always on the go - drippers are hard. Do you vape multiple flavors a day or do diy - drippers are better than big tanks.
Finally, just a note on the Kayfun/Russian theme. Yes, they are a fantastic vape but can take some fiddling to keep from leaking due to a touchy wicking issue. Also, the coil tends to be touchy if you are not used to getting the post screws *perfect*. I would suggest picking up a cheap dripper for practice (ie: igo-l; evcigarettes.com for around $10) and a bunch of wire (kidneypuncher.com 250ft for around $15). Those 2 things and a multimeter/ohm reader will be a life saver.
If you have a smartphone check out the Vapers Toolbox app. And remember that your ohm reader can be wrong so test that coil with a meter until you can repeatedly hit your target resistance (1.2 ohms and above for most regulated mods to be safe) or you stand a chance at destroying your mod... or worse.
Best of luck in the RBA world and happy vaping!

As a note, I have 3 Kayfuns and 2 more on the way and would not recommend any of them for a beginner rebuildable.
All are clones (including one rescue that a friend couldn't get to stop leaking).
Also, a friend had issues with a v2 Russian had problems with the positive pin but not sure where she got it.
I hope that you have none of those issues but feel free to yell if you have any questions.

Aww, did you give it a new forever home?
a clone is for life, not just for christmas, people.
Actually yeah lol! It only left my hana for long enough to get a good cleaning and rebuild while I vaped a Kayfun 3.1 with another flavor... now he wishes he had it back lolAww, did you give it a new forever home?
IGO W, IGO L, RSST. All very easy to build on and dont have any leaking issues. I Think the RSST would be the best to start on, they have versions with adjustable airflow as well as versions for dual coils
nimbus clones r easy to build on and have large post holes so they can advance along-side you. also they're cheap
If you can find one, and can swing the $, it doesnt get much better from a setup/flavor perspective, than the new Squape. Very very easy to coil/wick, and I have ZERO dry hit, wicking issues that I experienced with Kayfuns and Russians. I vape all VG, and the viscocity would usually jam me up on the Kayfuns/Russians. All gone with the Squape
Kayfun, Kayfun Lite, Kayfun 3.1, or Russian 91%! I actually run a Russian 91% deck with everything else (Chimney, Tank, and Top) coming from a Kayfun. I got a poorly built kayfun, so I bought the R91. They fit perfectly together, and works 100% better than the kayfun I got. I liked the base on the R91, but hated that the drip tip was proprietary.
