rba usually means a genesis style atomizer (RSST, AC9, AGA)
rda usually means a dripping atomizer (IGO-L, Trident, Omega)

 

[Matrasca]

rda - Rebuildable dripping atomizer, whereas
RBA - Rebuildable atomizer (by definition, this encompasses anything from a Vivi Nova, Kanger Protank, genesis-style atomizers; anything where the heating element can be removed and reassembled)

RBA means rebuildable atomizer. It always has a tank.
RDA means rebuildable dripping atomizer. These never have a tank.

ETA: You beat me to it Matrasca! But no, Vivi Novas and Kanger Protanks are not RBA's.

Agreed, an RBA is designed and built from the ground up to be rebuilt whereas the others are designed to have a cartridge replaced even if some do rebuild them.

Product labeling. I hadn't heard the term RDA until the smok octopus came out. In regards to ERAs, Phoenix and hornets, they were always referred to as RBAs.

There are the RBA's with holes through the connection for bottom feeders also.
