You could just get one and try it out. Have you considered another tank like the tfv8 cloud beast or baby beast. I've never tried an RDA yet but wouldn't mind giving one a go. Good luck .
I generally use RTAs not RDAs but there are some benefits-- you can build to your specific resistance that you like, if you use the right wire you can use TC mode (though with drippers, IDK how that works) and it is far less expensive (once you get going) to rewick and dry burn a coil rather than inserting another drop in coil.
I have drop ins and RTAs and there are things I like about both of them, so I wouldn't hesitate to give it a try, for sure.

works the same as an rta. Currently all my RDA are in TC SS mode and all my RTA are in VW mode with SS wire. All my RTA used to be in TC mode too but I haven't vaped wattage mode in so long I decided to give it another go and am rather liking it. I won't dare vape a RDA in wattage mode, afraid of dry hits.
I use RTA's when I'm out and about but when settled or hanging out somewhere I'm dripping on an RDA. I also Squonk at times. In general RDA's provide the best in flavor and cloud production.
Rarely if ever do I get dry hits on RDA's, you can taste it when you need to drip again. Benifits of dripping are jumping around in flavors.
There are plenty of high flavor cloud producing tanks on the market that will provide the rda experience with the convenience of a tank. unless you are squonking i would reserve rdas for at home use.
The mod regulates the temperature of your vape based on the varying resistance of your coil to provide a consistent vape. avoids dry hits and too hot or too cold of a vape.
as already stated: biggest reason for me is no dry hits on an RDA. It also provides a steady temp vape so I could take a full 10 second draw if I want, instead of it getting to hot after a few seconds like in VW mode.
I have been a die-hard TC user for over a year but I am really liking the wattage vape now on all my rta and sub ohm setups. I just keep the wattage a bit lower than I might for a TC preheat setting and am still able to take nice long draws in VW mode but I am getting more vapor and more throat hit in wattage mode and rather enjoying it. Not sure I am liking it enough to try my RDA's in wattage mode though as rayon dry hits are not fun.
I suggest this a lot and for all beginners 20$ rda Wotofo troll v2 give it a whirl. Plenty of space to build great seals and airflow. Here is mine with a single fused clapton at 75w
TC mode is a setting that allows you to keep your vape below a certain temperature, which you input (you do have to use either SS, titanium, ceramic coils, or nickel... kind of listed in the order in which most people use these wires, these days. SS is easygoing as you can run it in wattage or preheat mode. You will need to set your mod to the material you are using, and it will keep track of the temperature changes in the wire, hence, your temperature. You use a wattage setting as a preheat, and TC takes over from there.
It does provide a nice, consistent vape and will avoid dry hits. Some people prefer it for the vape qualities, others use it as it is currently.... for the most part... considered safer than wattage in terms of keeping your temperatures below a set point at which undesirable byproducts are given off by the coil and the liquid in the tank/RTA. It's fairly easy to do with the correct wire, and then it's a matter of finding your preferred settings. My understanding is that under 420 F is considered safest, for whichever mix of PG/VG you have in your tank, though certainly there are folks who set their temp below that (I do).

If you want clouds and flavour, you want an rda. Get into squonking, all the benefits of both an rda and a tank. I am a convert and don’t see myself using anything else anytime soon.
That was one of my main reasons for using it as well, but this recent article made me feel a lot better about vaping some of my rigs in VW mode.
I'm going to vote RDA.
Flexibility would be the biggest point, and all the reasons why have been listed.
And sqonk....so glad I tried it.

Well, there are "best practice" non-TC guidelines that I follow when I don't vape TC (I'm frankly never going to do it all the time). I was a Max VG person as I'm sensitive to inhaled PG, and I did start adding 10% distilled h20 in my vape, as well as having multiple setups in the a.m., which is when I vape the most, so I can rotate them and not chain vape, as well as keeping my wattage on the low side (but I MTL anyway).
The interesting thing is I added the water reluctantly, but it has significantly changed my vape for the better-- it's an easier vape and more flavorful too.
I don't think anyone NEEDS to use TC all the time unless they enjoy it but I also think that people should vape in the style they prefer, as well. I was glad to keep up on the TC thread and it also got me into RTAs faster, which is fun, so I have to say I'm glad I paid attention. For me, it was a matter of being more cautious, but seriously, no recommendation that I have followed w/r/t TC best practices has been bad for my vape, it has been good for my vape. So, to me, that's a bonus.

Depends on what you want, I suppose. While I have the technical skills for rebuilding, and DIY it hasn't really attracted me, because I prefer a "fuss free" vape experience.
I'm more than satisfied with the vape quality I get from factory coils, and I have a local B&M that does good juices at fair prices.

Mr E Liquid, Mt. Baker, Vaporleaf and a few others have some older model RDA's and RTA's for $10.00 or less.
Cheap way to test the rebuildable atomizer thing.
