#3 I use 510 batteries and a 306 atomizer to drip and found it to be the best drip set up I've had so far. I too usually get a month, or longer using a 306 atomizer.

It also sounds like I don't need an rba unless I own a VV device. This confuses me. Are RBAs worth it if they can only be used with VV devices? It appears then that there is no option for an RBA for someone like me. (My setup: Riva 510 with cartos or 306 atty to drip)

vsummer1: Do you mean the RBA will blow ego type batteries and that a multimeter is an undesireable device for someone like me? I thought the multimeter was desireable to test the coil on an RBA prior to use.

NOT AN ENTRY:
I should clarify. The multimeter is BUILT IN the Provari and the VV Gripper. Of course you can use a stand alone multimeter, but I just didn't want to pay the money for one when I could put the same money into a PV with that function already included. I wanted easy. I just put the RBA on the ProV or Gripper, read the ohms and adjust my volts. If the vape changes or the unit throws a code or won't fire, I take a look at it and see what is causing the short and fix it. Sometimes it is a blown coil, and I have to recoil. There is no warning of this, the coil can break down with use and will pop when its time is over.

When the coil shorts, for whatever reason - and they do - or if the coil pops it will blow your unprotected eGo or similar device. Dead eGo's are no fun and must be replaced. As for other units, I do not know if they have protection against shorts or not as I don't own them. I will never use a RBA on my eGo.

I do not know if the Riva is VV to adjust to your coil ohms and I do not know if the circuitry is protected.

ETA: if you don't have any circuitry to get fried, like in a mechanical, you can use an RBA on it as well and it is not VV.

#2 i really would like to try one but it all sounds like dutch to me

I am on watch, read, and learn vigilance today. Whotube is difficult for me because I have a slow connection so will just wait for more experienced voices to post.

Trying to stay on the topic "RBA" as you asked, I don't know what to post really, especially since I have looked at a number of Videos already . . . AND - Although they were very compealing and interesting - they all made both very curious and more importantly, say to myself W T H are YOU THINKING ! ! ! YOU and "RBA" ? ? ? ARE YOU CRAZY ? ? ?

1. I don't use my multimeter near enough. With one of these, I will dig my multimeter out and use it much more often!

OH BOY ! ! !

Okay - Now "Multimeter's" . . .

I have a basic one that anyone can get from Amazon/Home Depot/Lowe's (to test regular batteries - Wire to Positive end the other Wire to Negative end = Poor, Fair, Good, Excellent Battery) . . .

So - I would appreciate if someone can tell me more why I would need this for the "CHID" . . .

AND - If what I have is good enough or do I need one of those I have seen in Videos that screw into the end whatever you are testing . . .

I guess I will say again, I am pretty much tired of everything else I have tried and really wanting to try an RBA

Have you ever used a multimeter to test if your carto/atty is 2.0 ohm or 3.0 ohm? The same thing with a RBA. You can tell what resistance the RBA is after you rebuild it, and also to see if it is shorted out.

2. Using a RBA could help me with my OCD.

Dude, I'm kinda OCD also that's why I need to navigate this new-fangled device correctly. Hope to garner much info here.

3. I have a new pair of reading glasses, but don't read as much as I used to. This CHID would help me warrent the cost of the specs.

No - I haven't, didn't see a need to till now . . . Anytime I purchased a Carto/Atty I asked the seller or someone what I need for a specific piece of equipment I have and then just pruchased what it was . . .

Okay NOW, Since "We" are sharing --- I'll see your "OCD" and raise you an "ICD" (Impulse Control Disorder) & "AADHD" (Adult Attention Deficit Disorder), including being a "Social Sexual Deviant" . . .

Hey - I'm still "Perfect the Way I Am" . . .

#1 I see all this stuff about RBAs but can't afford to try it out when carto tanks work good for me.

I want to try something better/rebuildable. But can't afford it.

 

[quandryron]

The question is...Is a RBA better? The winner will find out! I imagine that there are pros and cons to everything even shiny new mods.

If an RBA helps OCD................I'm in. lol

 

[Racehorse]

#1 I'd like to win an RBA because it represents the "next" challenge I think I'm ready to take on.

I really don't like most tanks out there because I don't want to vape silica. A TRUE rebuildable would allow me to use more natural fibers for my wicks, and your prize pretty much includes everything!

 

[Racehorse]

#2 If I learn to how to use a rebuildable, then I can do some tutorials for other newbies how to do it. Pay it Forward.

#3 I bought my first multimeter, too, so I'm READY

Wasn't it you who gave me a multimeter way back when??

And I use it almost daily... got into the habit of checking my mod batts both before AND after they go on the charger...

#2

I already have plenty of wick and wire, so I would finally have another use for it!!

#3

That nice little tin would really come in handy to store stuff in...
