Which RBA for beginner?

[Dave]

Hey guys,

I want to start using RBA's but I'm unsure which one to buy and which coils to use

Im going to buy the coils pre made as I have limited use in my right hand so any links would be good

I will mainly be using my seven 22 so advice on which to use with this mod would be cool

Thanks Dave

Hey Dave do you want a tank or dripper? That will narrow ot down somewhat

[Dave]

Sorry, its the tank version I'd like to use

[Greg]

I'd suggest a kayfun lite + is a good place to start

[Dave]

Greg is it easy enough for a first timer mate and can you suggest which coils to use

cheers Dave

[Greg]

I'd say the kayfun is the easiest and probably the RBA most have tried so there'll be lots of help for you here, it can be a learning curve though so don't be too disappointed if you don't get it right straight away.

As for coils I can't really help as I make my own rather than pre made. I did buy some from Fasttech some time ago but found them a little flimsy and the diametre too small for my liking.
Maybe others can advise on the coil front.

If you get one and don't get on with premades give me a shout and I'll make you some

On the coils front, I would recommend gettimg a coiling device such as @greigsters coil buddy. Then you can make coils with out to much faff and can be done holdimg down the coil buddy with your bad hand and coiling with the other. The kayfun could be a tad fiddly but I cant think of anything easier. Genesis atties are incredibly fiddly so they are out. Best I can suggest is get onto youtube and watch how builds are done in different devices then you can get some idea of what you are capable of.

*cough* taifun gt *cough* just as easy as a kayfun but easier to refill IN MY OPINION!!!

I recently got a magma dripper and a kayfun lite + tank and they are both great. I have had a couple of leaks from the kayfun but generally works really well. I have no experience of any others but would recommend these (I already have another kayfun on order).

Can't help with the coils as I do my own.

+1 for Greigster's coil buddy.  It does make coiling very easy as it holds one end of the wire at tension for you.  The fiddliest bit is actually getting the coil on the deck of the atty.  Can you make it to a local vape meet... there will be people there who would happily show you how to coil and you could try it out.  Failing that, a decent B&M?

+1

And this version is probably the best value for money available, as long as you don't mind waiting for 10-14 days for it to arrive direct from China.
(Might be a little longer due to the seasonal mail overload!)

Probably the best pre-made coils you can get from FastTech are 32gauge (.20mm) and look to be around 1.6mm inside diameter.

Been using my kayfun clone for the last 12 months and the only issues I had was those awful screws that comes with it, however you can buy replacements screws very cheaply on ebay.
I think Robby buys pre-made coils so he can advise on the quality.

I build my own coils and with me its one day easy and another day its - what's on earth I am doing and that's being polite.

[Dave]

Thanks for the input!!!!

I'm sorted on the coil front......just got to pick an RBA now

off to youtube me thinks for the easy one to buy

Cheers Dave

With all due respect Dave, if you have limited use in one hand, a kayfun is not for you. I need both my hands and teeth to coil it. Most RTA atomizers are a pain as the decks and screws are small. pre made won't make any difference, as the easy bit is making the coil. Why not try a Nautilus clone as a cheap option.
