What type of Rebuild able should I get?

[lebeatnik]

Well this is going to be my first rebuild able (yes i know how to use my multimeter to read the ohms etc even got a "helping hands" magnifying glass to help if i need it) so i think i am ready to try my luck but here is the issue. First i am not worried about difficulty (unless the device is known to be difficult for even the experienced users) I am worried about quality in use like something people like and is now known to taste bad or etc. Also it is my first and i don't have the most money to spend in fact i only want to spend like twenty bucks or something around their no way am i going to buy one that costs more than my mod LOL

So with all that said anyone have opinions on which i should buy? I know its kinda subjective but what are the top ones at least that i can choose for myself? I am pretty sure i will sadly have to buy a knockoff as i know i cant afford the $90 really nice machined RBAs.

I was thinking about the new AGA rba with the clear tube but then IDK, I don't want a drip rebuild able. Good thing i got to that as i know that would be probably the first thing would ask. So wth that being said i hope to gt some good replies i always do and if you know of a vendor i would REALLY appreciate it PM me if you want.

Thanks guys and gals ill post back and say how many tries to took me to get a coil to work good lol. I am betting by my third try and i am being conservative LOL anyone thing different? (I got a feeling i am going to be on you tube for a while watching how to's and threads on the rebuild able chosen by the majority of posters here.

I have been through so many and these change so often that i will buy the one that i get the most replys about or the best post about one. (if only i had a way to entice posts LOL) anyway

THANKS IN ADVANCE I APPRECIATE THE HELP

The new AGA T+ would probably be a good starter RBA, I'm getting a few in a co-op myself. You can find them for around $25-30 through various vendors online. You don't want to shell out a lot of money for a high end RBA if you don't know how you are going to like them, you may after all, hate them and would rather just not deal with it. So best not break the bank on a high end one and start out small, get used to building wicks and doing coils and see how you like it then go from there.

My first RBA is a dripper and I still use it. IGO-L stainless steel. I have mine set up with SS mesh which is not the friendliest to set up but once you do it's a winner. SteamMonkey, DiscountVapers, COV and many others carry them, you can get one delivered for under $20.

IGO-Ls are "designed" a for silica or cotton wick. Moving to an RBA in part was to get away from filler type material and wicks. My first setup with it was to roll a piece of SS wick to wrap the coil on, and I tied the silica to one end and draped it down inside the dripping well. Worked like a champ, and I could still dry burn the coils. I just had to give an all SS wick a try and I am glad I did.

the igo is nice so is the fatty, dream, hornet, era and spiral. but a cheap phoenix clone will work too....


and forgot about the A7 nice SS for cheap

AGA does make a drip RBA but the -T, -T+ & -T2 (which all have the clear tube) are all Tank Style RBA.

I really like my AGA-T, ordered the -T2. Genesis aren't the easiest to setup at first but worth it. There are a few methods to make them a bit easier (putting fabric wick around the SS or using Ceramic wicks).

The A7 is very affordable and pretty easy to setup and maintain. Love it for testing flavors.

I decided on the gen 1 (did clone) from COV, as it's a tested design that works well. It comes with ss and wire, and if you use code bigbuyer, it's less than 14 dollars, delivered. I liked my first one so well that I ordered another one.

Some cons on it are that the air hole doesn't line up with the wick when tight. Instead you need to hold your thumb where the wick is and stop tightening when the air hold lines up. It'll be tight enough that it won't move at that point so it's not big problem, but some folks sand the bottom down so that the cap stops at the correct place when screwed down.

Another problem is it will leak if left on it's side. Once filled, it needs to be kept upright.
