Which RBA ????

There are tanks that use stock coils and also have a RBA, and there are tanks that are called RTAs which have the build deck as part of the tank and does not use any stock coils. There are also RDAs that are drippers, but you don't want that. What are you using now? I think the Subtank, or Toptank mini might be a good choice for a beginner because it uses stock coils, and the option of the RDA for building on and it's good for MTL, or DL vaping.
I think the cleito has a RBA you can get, not sure of the other one as I'm not familiar. Have you done any building at all?
Watching some YouTube videos will be helpful. Type in Celito RDA, or RTAs and get a feel for how it's done.
Looks like the cleito takes an RTA. The only issue I see is it takes up a lot of tank space. There is a 5ml replacement tank that would help out. Check around for prices but it semis both can be had for around $15. Here are a couple of links and I'm not associated with either of these suppliers, just giving you and idea of what you need to build.
Aspire Cleito Replacement 5ml
Aspire Eigate Aspire Cleito Rebuildable Atomizer Kit
ETA: The RTA/RBA basically replaces your stock coil.

if you are looking for a well made rebuildable tank that give great flavor and vapor, check out the steam crave supreme - reasonably priced (they have some LE kits on their site in the $45 range that come with both top caps - 4ml and 7ml, standard velocity deck, postless deck, and single coil plugs (if you want to do single instead of dual coil) - amazing rdta
There is a learning curve & supplies needed to successfully build.
Would suggest a tank with additional RBA deck. The protank 4 is a nice choice. I have one.
The Aromamizer stated above is fantastic, you are in for the builders ride. What a ride though!..

RBA are actually pretty tricky to build on if you are just starting out building. I would suggest a tank like the Herakles RTA it has a dual post setup modeled after a RDA called the velocity it has become the industry standard and is relatively easy to build on. The problem with RBA add ons for subtank style tanks is they are very small area to work with and require a good deal of precision.
And sometimes you need reading glasses and bright lights for things like the SubTank Mini RBA V1/2. Super tiny. The Smok TFV4 and TFV8 have a bigger deck, and the Limitless XL is really nice and large (but so is the atty)
If you're going to get one get the Herakles RTA-2. The one with 2 huge air holes rather than the original one which had 4 smaller air holes. The redesign makes it more forgiving on the wicking and produces better vapor and flavor than the original.
I have had a slew of tanks the subtank mini, the Zephyrus, Movkin's JC25-RTA, Herakles RTA, Ohmega BFT, Melo, KayFun v1, billow and the list goes on. I suggest learning to build on an RDTA like the Limitless Plus, the Coil art Azeroth, the Theorem by wismec, or an Avocado by Geek Vape it is a larger surface to work with but still has a reservoir of juice and wicking these aren't as tricky as a deck inside of the tank.
Could check out:
Aromamizer RDTA by Steam Crave. Heard good things about this RDTA with a simple two post design.
re: Wrapping Building Coils 101 For Beginners
Yeah, if you want dual coil any RTA with velocity style deck is the easiest it allows you to work with one coil at a time. Aromamizer, OBS Crius, GeekVape Griffin. If you just want a single coil probably Sub/Top Tank Mini w/ RTA or UD Bellus has a plug for single coil but these are only 22mm. If you want 24/25mm the others come in that size. Really to many options without knowing exactly what your looking for.
Not for nothing but Kanger came out with a new tank the pro tank 4 that has a very nice looking RBA deck but will still take premade coil heads if you find that building isn't for you and this way you don't have a device that you'll never use again if you do find that building your own coils isn't exactly your thing. No matter what device you go with please for safety sake get an ohm reader, download an ohms law calculator to your smartphone, computer, or tablet and learn ohms law. Building for me is a great stress reliever and a passion but there is a great deal of responsibility in doing it safely.
Rebuilding is definately a good way to go. I started rebuilding CE5's back in the day, but today, rebuilding is super easy compared to what it has been in the past. I'll go over some pro's and cons:
Pro's:
1) RTA's are the same price as the standard tanks, but the materials to make a coil are way lower in the long run, so it will pay for itself for the price of a few replacement coils from standard tanks.
2)You get the vape YOU want, not what they decide for you. Most tanks offer 2-4 different coil options for premade... with RTA's, it's whatever YOU want.
3) Flavor... I have never vaped a tank that was better than a RTA. Sure, there are plenty of premade coils that taste rpetty good.. but the RTA has always been better.
4) There for the long haul. I still have some RTA's that were released years ago... even though they don't make the atomizer anymore, It can still be rebuilt.
Cons:
1) learning curve. My first true RTA ended up being a projectile thrown off the back porch. Back when I started, It took me four hours to try to get two coils on a small deck... after multiple tries, I finally got it together.. then put some silica in (the wick of choice at the time), put some juice on the coils, put it together, filled it, then had the whole tank leak out the airflow.... It then became a projectile from the back porch. The next day, I found it and kept working on it... Luckily, todays RTA's aren't as hard as that one.
2) Higher initial startup costs. even though the tank is cheap, you'll need to buy your first wire, cotton, snips, screwdrivers and/or coiling jig, ohm meter, nail clips, scissors, etc. But if you get enough coil and cotton, you're set for an entire year.... I sitll have some wire I bought 2 years ago.
3) not as easily grab and go. Sometimes, it's easier to take a prebuilt coil for out and about just in case...at least until you get the hang of things.
For the atomizer, I suggest the Griffin RTA. The velocity style deck has taken hold by storm because of it's ease of use, build size, and leak resistant qualities. at one time I swore off hex grub screws due to them stripping, but those don't strip... I am back to using hex grub screws again.
here's one rebuild of a griffin to show you about what to expect. I wrap similar to what she uses... I just use less cotton in mine (my cotton doesn't go past the ring she puts on)
