Small RBA/RTA?

[Quin]

Hey fellow vapers!

I came to the forum to ask a curiosity.

I was wondering if there are any small RBAs out there, specifically small bottom-fed RTAs?

I was thinking about just making the switch full-force to RBAs and retiring my kanger tanks (for the most part), but if this is something I am going to do... I want some small tanks that fit well on my Ego batteries (or... soon to be VV V3s).

I carry around my EVOD+Egos on a lanyard when I'm out and about, and larger tanks are far too heavy for the tank to sit upright on the lanyard... so my current (and soon to be current) RBAs aren't as ideal for taking with me when I'm walking around.

Any suggestions are appreciated. I'm not going to buy any of these tanks anytime soon, but I thought I'd get myself thinking about it now so I have time to research and decide what's right for me. (If there is no such thing... well, I guess my EVODs are getting replaced with Aerotank minis)


Thanks!

I haven't used it, but there's the Kayfun mini. Bottom coil, not bottom fed though, but I think the former is what you're looking for if you're going to be using an ego.

Start by rebuilding your kanger coils! It's wicked easy with a little practice and a few simple tools. The Vape is so much better than stock coils. Plus it's good practice for when you do get a rebuildable.

I already have an Igo-W that I've been rebuilding on. I've rebuilt a few kanger coils (successfully, failed on about two)... just find that the Igo-W was so much easier (even with dual coils), and thought it might be convenient to not have to rebuild the kanger coils.
Also... because kanger coils can't be dry-burned (cus, ya know, rubber gasket)... and because rebuilding the dual-coil kanger heads is supposed to be a giant pain in the .... (and I thought were kinda annoying to rebuild the single coils because of having to completely dissemble and resemble the entire head).

But yeah... that might just be what I'll have to do. >_<

I agree, rebuilding clearo coils is a pain in the posterior.

Great question. There's a bunch of smaller tanks that fit egos. Although I would also like to recommend you rebuild a few Kanger heads because they are a whole different beast when you rebuild then with cotton or rayon.

Kayfun mini will be probably the most popular of smaller RBA's. Easy to build, works fantastic. Basically the same as a regular kayfun. And there's cheap clones of it. I would also recommend a 14500 mech mod just to play with. I believe Ivogo had a set for around $30 on angel Cigs.

Taifun GS is another small RBA. A lot harder to build on. (but in all fairness I might have gotten a bad clone) Because of the way it's designed I wouldn't recommend it for a beginner. But it's another option and looks amazing in my opinion.

If your looking for something a little different there's Genesis style tanks, and AGA-S is another option.

Look around for 17mm RBA's or find the big 14500 mech mod thread on here. You'll find alot more options there.

Good luck

Get a REO. With either an RM2 atty or cyclone BF, or atomic BF atty. Or there are many other small choices. Come on down to Reoville and check it out. Reos Mods

Here is RWAC my LP Reo Grand with an LP RM2 BF atty. This mod fits in your hand, with just the atty and tip sticking out, so it's small. It uses a 18650 battery. I use the AW IMR 18650s.

There is a mini also that is even smaller.

As far as nice small light tanks, I love the Kanger mini aerotanks. Don't let their small size fool you. They are hard hitters on the right device.

Carrying a reo in an ego lanyard is a bit difficult though.

So who needs a lanyard? Change is good, especially if the result is better. I am sure a leather holster would work if you really need to have it on you at all times.

The smallest RTA I can think of in a Kayfun with a nano kit. I have the both on my KFL+ and a regular sized Kayfun, which turned out to make them the same size. It's apparently the tube that makes the regular Kayfun bigger.

The smaller one on the right is a Kayfun with a nano kit on an 18350 mech mod. It could go on an eGo style battery with a size "C" vanity ring (about the size of a Protank ring) to make it flush.

For a dripper, this is the smallest one I could find that is easy to build. It measures 2" including the drip tip (which is longer than the tank) that can be replaced with any 510 tip. It's small though, so it doesn't hold much juice. It's an Innokin VF. Again, at 22mm it would need a vanity ring to make it flush.

If you like carto tanks, IBTanks has one called a "Halfling" that is really small. It come in a number of diameters, including a 15mm that would work well with an eGo style. This is a 22mm Halfing on the right. It's wider to match a ≈22mm mod.

I rebuild my Kanger PT2's and have kayfuns that I just picked up nano's for when I want to go small.

The nano's are a good way to go and you can pick up a set for $15
