Ok, Got it! Nice looking kit. I got the camo version. Put it on the charger because it was on 34%. Took about a half hour and it's at 100. Very fast. It's a little larger than I expected but it's not bad. The other Vinci Pod systems are a lot bigger and I don't like these that big.

I'm trying the .6Ω coil in one pod and one of the RBS's in another. So far I like the RBA better. I will use both these pods for a couple days to really see how well they work.

In the RBA, I'm using the pre-made coil that came with the RBA and it's definitely working better than the .6Ω stock one. I keep going back and forth between the 2. I will use my third pod with the 1Ω coil later to see how that one works.

One thing I do not like is every time I swap out the pod, the Vinci Air sets the watts at 25. That is way too high for me with these coils. I have to remember to lower it.

If anyone uses these RBA coils on these pod systems, what coil are you using? Are you using contact or spaced???. I always said spaced gives more flavor but using contact ones in these tiny things, a contact coil may be easier to work with... IDK, I might have to try a contact coil in the near future.

Using this Pod System a lot since I got it yesterday afternoon and it has to be the Slowest drinker I have ever had. With the 2 pods I'm using, both filled nearly 100%, one is down about 1/3 and the other is down about 1/4. They do hold a lot of liquid too. Battery is about 50% at this point also. Loving this thing so far. And still no leaking. There is some signs of tiny drops of condensation but I expected that.

I don't have the RBA from Voopoo, is it hard to build on? I have no experince with postless decks.

I found this RBA with two-post deck, which looks like it may be easier to build, but it only fits the Vinci series, not the Air. I think I'm going to get it.

And I would probably use a contact coil myself.

    I don't know much about it but I've been looking into it. The postless part doesn't seem to be a huge problem, but a bit of a pain because of it's size.

    The vast majority of complaints seem to be that, unlike other tiny RBAs that have been released recently, it's not designed to screw into a 510 so you can't screw it onto a mod or some sort of base while your building and wicking it.

    Mechlyfe makes an RBA that works in this and other Vinci pod systems, and it has a 510 on it. It also has posts. But it's has a much tighter airflow than the original Voopoo PnP RBA so that may be a turn off for some.

    Agree. I watched a bunch of reviews and it looks like the Reewape Ruok might be best for me. Are you familiar with it?

    It looks like it will work in my Air. I might try one also.

    I found the VooPoo one easy to build. But I'm also very handy building and fixing everything.

    No, but looking at the pics the RUOK might be a little more restricted than then original Voopoo PnP RBA, too, judging from the size of the air hole bore.

    But it might be less restricted compared to the Mechlyfe because the RUOK gets it's airflow from the side like the original RBA. Whereas the mechlyfe only gets air from the bottom which makes it very restricted. This post on the FT forum claims it is so restricted that it causes spitting and and seems to sugest it is virtually unusable.

    I'm a RDL vaper so the Mechlyfe seems like it's not an option for me. That's unfortunate because I like the post/deck the best of all 3 RBAs. Bummer.

    The RUOK might be OK, I like the deck better than the original. Another criticism of the original RBA is that the wick has to be crooked because the hole in your coil does not perfectly line up with the wick channels.

    So, for me, it looks like the RUOK would be a better fit, too.
