Hi Ray,
Please post what devices you are using and the details of the coils you made. (dia, wire type, resistance).
Example of coils in tanks:

I have some coils I built is there a way to vape with them without an RDA
Not really, no. I mean, technically you could just press the ends of the wires up against the ends of the battery and technically it would probably "work," but it'd be a really bad idea. Probably just best to wait until you can get your RDA.

What are you using, in the meantime? What kind of battery device, what kind of tank(s) do you have? What kind of coils did you build? Have your ordered the RDA yet? What kind is it/or what kind do you want?

I've got a handful of RDA's, my favorites are both clones (actually they're all clones): a Derringer from FastTech, and a Velocity Mini clone made by Tobecco. They're not really all that similar but, oddly enough, I put the same coils in both of them: dual 6-wrap contact coil 26g Kanthal on a 3mm diameter, comes out about .4-.42 on my ohm meters.

I use them sometimes, to "fog up the room" (not that much though really, haha) when my hands aren't too busy to drip all the time and I'm by my self so there's no one to bother with my clouds, but usually you'll find me puffin' away on one of my Kayfuns. They're tanks, but they're still rebuildable like an RDA. On those I make a smaller, single coil out of thinner wire: 28g Kanthal 8-10 wraps on a 2.5mm diameter, reads around 1.3-1.5 ohms, and gives a much less obnoxious cloud when I'm out in public or sharing a room with other people.

I cant use them with a tank cause they are the kind of coils u would use with an RDA (where the cotton is out and u drip it)

Odd question, as coils are coils, unless you can't fit it on a deck, they are fairly universal and could be rewrapped to fit.

If you're using a tank with cartridge coils, then you can't do much unless it's a type that can be taken apart and rebuilt.

Oh sorry to explain it better I only have a box and tank right now, but I have no coils left that will work with the tank.

The coils I have came with my tank I bought and I had to wick them...I'm not really sure what it is called...would that be an RTA? It has 2 screws and 2 coils but u have to wick it urself and then I can put it on my box but I don't know how since I cant use a tank with it.

These are the coils I use with tank

why can't you use the RBA deck? (which is the coils you need to wick, it's called an RBA deck)
