What RBA/RDA should I buy?

[BrenD]

Now that I've seen the sort of price it'll be, I'm pretty sure I'll be pulling the trigger on the God 180 as soon as I've seen one in the hands of someone like Pbusardo or RiP via the wonders of YouTube. So it's time to up my game. But I'm a fussy bugger.

I'm so used to the really tight draw from the 0.9mm hole on the Nautilus that nothing else feels right. So whatever I end up buying will have to have a nice tight draw. Being reasonably straightforward to build/fill is pretty important too, as is Pyrex so I don't have to worry about what I stick in it. Oh and it needs to be a clone as I'm not made of money

I might not be able to do better than my trusty Igo-L on the dripping front, even if the draw is a little too airy, but I really can't be arsed to drip when I'm at work/out and about.

What's out there, folks?

Cheers!

I must admit I'm starting to use my dripperbalot more and am after a new one as well love single coil dripper over duel.
I think you'll struggle to get a tight draw on many things now as air seems to be king
Only thing I would suggest is a kfl v,2 from m-vapes pretty close to the nautilus and you can decrease / increase air .
Love mine over the nautilus any day easy to build as well.

For build quality, ease of building, adjustable airflow and looks, 'd go for a kraken. This one from fasttech is the best atty I've bought. Totally solid construction with glass tank (survived a 4 foot drop onto hard kitchen tiled floor without a scratch, and much easier to coil than any other RBA I've tried.

Got a Russian from FT on the way and a taifun getting ordered next week, but to be honest, I can't see anything displacing the kraken as my go to atty. Everything about this clone just screams quality to me, from the build quality to the performance to the looks and ease of use.

I know I'll probably get shot down by kayfun aficionados, but no kayfun I've bought comes close to this little beastie in quality, ease of use or performance. Others may be great, but this one I can recommend wholeheartedly.

i would stay clear of any genesis for your 1st rba and especially for out and about use,

genesis tanks are known to leak. i wouldnt want a tank full of juice in my pocket on my shiney new mod being held together by a couple of o rings.

its got to be a kayfun or a taifun gt, or any silica atty

but if your happy with the natulis and it ticks all the boxes for you why change

I just got an AGA T7 its not a clone but not overly expensive at around £20 and this thing vapes like a train. The draw can be as tight or loose as you want as it has adjustible airflow. Can be a bit tricky to fill but once you master it you shouldnt have any probs. Did i mention its not a clone.

just get a rose lol

+1 for the Kraken, I have a few RBA's now and the Kraken is the No1 because its so easy to set up.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This!

Sod the rose. Get a kayfun . Works great and easier to set up .

Ive got 2 rose clones and and an erl . love them but I`m seriously thinking of getting rid . In some ways they are better than a kayfun . But I still use my kayfuns more as they perform great and take me next to no time to coil and wick . If I only had one choice it would be a kayfun . A rose would be joint second choice but only as clones are much cheaper than an Erl . Apart from cost the Erl kills the rose and kayfun.

Tight draw = Kayfun (can't stand the things personally!!!)

If you want a dripper with a tight draw... Plume Veil with everything closed off except the air flow through the neg posts - something I accidentally do quite often, but still a surprisingly good vape.
But anything with an adjustable airflow you should be able to close it down until you find a draw you like.
Origen has a good range of adjustment:

All above suggestions are good and with varying opinions
One attie that's not mentioned here is the squape reloaded.
A doddle to coil, outperforms a kayfun and vapes as good as the rose
And superb build quality.

stick a rose or squape on a pretty big box mod and then its not pocket friendly at all

It doesn't quite tick all the boxes. It ticks a lot of them and the BVCs certainly put my venture into the world of rebuildables off for a little while, but I think the time has come.

I really want something I can have a good fiddle with and will have to learn how to use. That alone will be rewarding, even without the increased performance when I finally nail it.

only reason i say a rose over the kayfun is as yet my rose clone has not leaked one bit kayfuns will always leak a wee bit
as for seting up the rose i cut the legs off the coil at about 1 cm and they just pop in
