RDA Would like some advice in choosing an RBA

[The Hill Giant]

So, I'm planning on venturing into the world of rebuildable atomizers, and I'm hoping you lovely people can help me decide which to buy. I've ordered my 3mm wick and 32g wire.

Assume money is not a concern. I need something that travels well (can lay on it's side, upside down, etc) and holds a decent amount of juice (preferably 2.5 or more ml). I also like to switch juice up sometimes, so it can't be TOO bulky like an Odysseus, since I'd like to fit a couple of them in an ego case.

I've been using Vivi Novas up until now, but want to step up to something that's really designed for easy rebuilding. Plus I have giant sausage fingers, and working with those tiny Vivi Nova heads is going to be a nightmare

Ato-miser is worth looking into, available at nHaler.com

Id suggest the phoenix or the spheroid or the steam machine. If u like to switch juices they should be right on the money for not leaking, holding a reasonable amount and not too much etc. If you get the phoenix u can always places strategic filler to hold juice, just like. The others. Another advantage to this is it makes. The flavor stronger.

I wish I had more info to help you Giant, I was just asking this question myself the other day and the response I got was "Get a DID" It uses mesh instead of silica wick, though you may be able to use that wick too, I don't really know. Good luck to you!

I picked up a RaTank in the classies, because I could actually afford it LOL and really wanted to get something to try out. I like it pretty well, though I wouldn't recommend trying to carry it in a pocket or anything as the top cap pops off quite easily. I've tried both the silica wick and the ss mesh wick and both seem to work out just fine for me.

Wow thats hard to read. Sorry, phone adds periods and such occasionally but you get the idea flavour with unheated filler is increased by the same principal as if you breathe the air right above a puddle of juice, you can taste it. Adds a little bit of punch.

Hey DD

It's funny that you say that. I actually was wondering if the DID can be used with silica wicks as well, and posted about it, but didn't get a response either. The world of RBAs is all new to me.

Thank you for all the replies so far. I think the DID and RATank look like more what I'm looking for so far.

Does anyone know if the DID can be used with silica? It doesn't look like it's designed for it, but what the hell do I know

Any other suggestions for options that allow the remaining juice quantity to be visible?

 

[DeviantDe]

I've posted that question in another thread Giant, hopefully they will answer so we'll know! I'll get back to you when I hear back.

 

[The Hill Giant]

Oh, and where can you purchase a DID anyway? I found the link at some point but can't seem to find it again.

I don't know if silca would work in my DID, but why would I even consider trying? SS Mesh, simply put, is wonderful!! Clean wicking, reusable, superb flavor, easy to burn and clean, and just about every other positive adjective I can think of. Don't be fearful of conversation about the difficulty of oxidation, truly it is simple, and coupled with a remarkable device like the DID, makes for an unbeatable vaping experience. I've used every possible type of atty, including silca, cotton, cheesecloth, carts, tanks, and dripping, in my opinion, nothing has beat the DID.
Btw, kir fanis makes clear tank for did, and dct 4.5 mil tanks fit. The Kir tank is on the DID website.

Ato-miser is worth looking into, available at nHaler.com

The ato-miser would be a good choice but Nhaler also carries the phoenix knockoff and I have one it performs just like my phoenix plus Drew also has prewound wick and wire so all you do is cut and screw.

 

[DeviantDe]

Well, if you want it right away, you have to try the classifieds, if you want to pre-order for the next run then it's at Atomizer "The DID" by MMvapors,one for life! OUT OF STOCK!!!!!! and I just looked and it looks like pre-orders will start shipping the end of this week.

 

[ricklynchcore]

Pre orders are shipping according to other members.

I found that the oxidation was the easiest part of the whole mesh wick setup LOL
Of course I made the u-shaped wick for my RATank, which was a PITA, so a straight one may be far easier

Here's the 1st response so far...
I don't have a DID, but I think it would be technically possible, though probably a pain to set up. Another option is to un-braid the silica wick and use it to wrap the mesh. Doing it this way you could even go without oxidizing the mesh as long as your coils were all on silica. I've been doing the cotton thread wrapped on mesh thing for my GTUS and it's working well for me, no shorts and far fewer dry hits.

I have seen some videos on the wrap, looks simple enough. And that way you can still use some of your current wick

Looks like I'm ordering some SS mesh and learning how to make SS wicks

If you choice turns toward the did, go to euro suppliers forum here on ecf, then to the manufacturers thread on the did. Everything you could possibly think of is covered, and the first post contains an index to answer all questions from wick and coil building to very helpful user advice.

Yes, a silica or even cotton wick is doable with a did or any genny.you would probably get better results from the mesh, but definitely doable with cotton/silica so long as you can find the right size stuff. Its all about pore size and distribution when it comes to wicking and its easier to judge that with mesh.

Thought ratank would be too big for you but now that i know its not, i can certainly vouch for its awesomeness. I own one and love it. Its probs the most versatile rba out there. I have mine on 'drip mode' atm since i just started diy'ing my juice and need to test many times a day!

 

[DeviantDe]

lol I've been using mine in drip mode tonight too keen.. been testing a bunch of juices I got today

 

[frequentj]

What about the Penelope? It uses silica wick. Personally, after using ss mesh, I can't imagine using anything else. I have a def con and a DID. Obviously, the DID is nicer than the def con, but it costs twice as much (still well worth it), but they both get the job done. If you are thinking about getting your feet wet with a genny, try a $55 def con. If you love it, buy a DID.
