Im curious to see what the community uses these days,
Do you prefer to use rdas or rtas?
Or even sub tanks and or pods?
What is your go to and all day vape for when at home?
Sometimes online i read stuff like "wow do you still use rdas?"
Idk why one would say that because other then rebuildables we got sub tanks and pods so ofc i still use them!
But does the vape community in general use them alot as wel still?
Seems kinda like a dying breed even in vape stores they are starting to carry less and less rebuildables it seems like its all going towards pods but why tho do people prefer them?
I mean why else would china make so many pods its because it sells i think
Well not me lol i dont even own 1 pod
Rebuildables and subtanks are my go to!
I am almost exclusively an RDA vaper. I do still have an RTA around here, but I suspect it will need a sonic cleaning to be vapable again. For the past year or seven, I have been primarily using small chamber, post-less, bottom feeder RDAs. I prefer drippers for their unbeatable flavor. I prefer squonkers because of their cleanliness and because I can feed (squonk) the dripper while driving with one hand. My go to device for many years at home, work and every where is a BF RDA. For the past year or three, I've been using regulated mods (they
are convenient), but I am still very comfortable with unregulated, battery-to-coil mods.
Starting from stock cartomizer, cig-alike setups, through clearos and more, I have tried many tank, RTA, and RDTA systems over the years, including the old "tilt and vape" genesis style atomizers. I prefer bottom fed RDAs.
Oddly enough, just tonight, I pulled out a couple of VERY old devices so I can taste some samples from a new (to me) NET juice provider. A Cyclone RDA with the Fusion drip tip, and my old Provari V2.5 mod. (Real dripper, not a bottom-fed system). It took me only two tries to manage a 1.5 Ohm coil (not advisable to go too deep in sub-ohm on a Provari) in 32ga wire with 1.5mm ID. Good Lord, but that wire is tiny and fragile. But there isn't much room in a Cyclone (Shhh, I bought it almost 10 years ago).
I am very pleased with the results. Even though the Cyclone is really not airy (love its small chamber) I can easily taste these samples and decide whether I want to commit to larger bottles for my better BF, MTL setups.
Sorry. Back to the question. As you may have surmised, I prefer rebuildables over systems that require purchasing proprietary coils. I'm sure you already understand why after reading other answers here. My supply of rayon, cotton, and wire will last longer than I will be able to vape. And both of those supplies would be considered bulk in comparison to any of the disposable systems available.
I must admit that I have not tried any of the pod style systems. I imagine they're making some flavorful get-ups, but I don't know. Maybe it's a straight razor vs disposable blade system? Why buy a replacement every time when you can simply sharpen (recoil) the device?
P.S. My local vape stores have always left a lot to desired in respect to hardware. Likewise in respect to NET vape juices.
