RTA used as RDA?

[TrikStari]

Well, I just had an idea, and I'm wondering if anyone here has ever tried using an old RTA that they don't regularly use, as an RDA instead.

I''m asking this because the only RDA I have, an EHPro Flash, has AWFUL airflow. I plan to correct this some time this week with a bench vice and a drill.

So, I decided to try using my old Kanger Subtank Mini (the original version with terrible juice flow) as an RDA instead of an RTA. Simply by leaving the cap off of the chimney, and putting some juice down the drip tip hole.

I do this, because I don't want to clean my Geekvape Griffin RTA in order to use this awesome new Element Tobacco flavor juice I got from my local vape shop. (The Art of vaping. They're awesome and new, if you're in the Ruther Glen /Caroline county area of Virginia).

It seems to be working great for now. I was just wondering if I was the only person who'd had this idea.

Edit: I know I could just clean the kanger and use it as an RTA, but it's such a PITA that I can't be bothered.

Likely not as there are at least three tanks that convert... Aqua V2, Rage, CCI Triforce/Kepler Sapphire

That's why I bought my EHPro Flash. but the airflow is just horrible, and wicking it as a tank is just....not possible.

Heh... I forgot about the FEV line. Yeah... those are specifically designed for the MTL crowd. The ones I listed are more suited to sub ohm.

Well, this idea didn't work.

Severe leaking lol

If your RTA has the holes in the side of the deck that let you insert the legs and tighten the screw on the wire, I don't see why you couldn't insert a coil on each side and bend them up to sit above the air hole on each side.

Dealing with two wicks on a single coil deck might be a challenge.

Me, I'm happy with a good single coil at 10W. I've used dual coils on atomizers designed for that, but single coil in an RTA is just easier.

I have dripped a small amount into RTAs, put on the chimney and tasted juice. I prefer using a dedicated RDA though for convenience for juice testing.
