Wow! Beautiful. Wish I could afford a Provari. Hopefully soon.

I've been reading about how some ejuice can clog the coils or ruin wicks. I am still new to this kind of equipment and I don't want to ruin my new stuff with unsuitable juices. Maybe I should get a tank that will work on my iStick and can use that coil just for testing juices.

Stalk the classies, Provari 2.5's come up pretty often at very reasonable prices.

I just ordered brand new upgraded equipment. I have been vaping with Volt batteries and cartomizers and e-go king/queen batteries and carts. I just bought 2 Innokin Coolfire IV with iSub G tanks and 2 Eleaf iSticks 40W with Nautilus tanks. I usually vape 12mg nic but all my new juice orders have 6gm nic and I ordered some 0nic to add to my existing ADV. I am new to this equipment so... I have a newbie question LOL What are RBA and RDA?

EDIT: I want a ProVari like Steve's. LOL
RBA - Uwell Crown TC Sub-Ohm Tank
RDA - Sapor RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer by Wotofo
IMHO you don't want a provari, better investment - Joyetech eVic VTC Mini 60W Full Kit

An RBA is a rebuildable atomizer and an RDA is a rebuildable drip atomizer. I wouldn't recommend either, unless you like tinkering with things and making coils and wicks...
Thanks, everybody wants a ProVari...

You are incorrect about the above statement, one has a tank and one does not .......
Tinkering - Uwell Crown Tank RBA Head Kit not tinkering - $9 Uwell Crown Sub Ohm Replacement Coil Head | Professional Ecigarette Wholesale
Everybody needs a provari ? PLEASE, ProVari: Is it Over the Hill?

Other than the ProVari statement LOL I don't think those things are for me. I don't like having to tinker with my PV and I don't like it when they drip and have to be adjusted all the time. So I don't think those things sound like something I would enjoy.

I have a few genesis style RTAs, and Kayfun RTAs, but they are just for playing around with...

LOL! Yea, many people want a Provari like Steve's. I actually don't
but I wouldn't turn one down for free :)
ReBuildableAtomizer and Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer
which means I use rayon (or cotton) wicks and roll my own (micro or macro) coils out of kanthal wire
thus saving $$$, vaping at my preference in resistance and getting the most flavor.

Looks like you're all set with all the neat stuff you ordered. I'd like to add a Nauti to my
stand but I'm saving my pennies for a new IVP4s or a Sigelei 100 I've had my eye on.

Have Phun!

I have a feeling that anything new I got would be an improvement from what I have been using. LOL
I see I have a lot to learn about equipment. I don't think I will ever want to build my own but who knows.
You guys are the best! Thank you for answering my questions and not making me feel dumb.
I love to vape. My nephew is a trauma doctor. He vapes himself. I am trying to get him to join so he can
post on the health forums. He's an advanced vaper but not sure of his hardware setup.

It is better to start out slow and learn about power management, wicking and juices. When you have that mastered and have an interest in re-building, then go for it. Until then, just enjoy your new equipment, save up for a ProVari Classic, Kabuki tank and trip to Prague...

Well if you ever go ahead and make your move
I'll have a reason to put aside for Prague...Sandra's gonna be an old maid by the time
you get those other thoughts outta your "head".

Bro, believe me. The only thing you had to do to get me to
realize I want to at least visit CR was send me those pixes
& the pages with real estate ads.

I'm getting *very* weary of the sandpile..

Ok guys something just happened to my Volt battery. Scared me. It made a hissing noise then a strong amonia type smell is coming from the bottom. Have you ever heard of this happening? Should I dump the battery? It just happened

It it hot at all? If not, if you smell it and it smells like burned electronics, then it shouldn't work, or is unsafe to use...
