Which RBA for beginner?

[chykensa]

I must admit that I couldn't see how you would be able to manage a Kayfun/Russian without the use of both hands, but there again you will know better than any of us what is feasible and what's not. I would vote for @spikeyfridge and the Taifun, purely because you can access the deck (the bit where you install the coil) without having to drain the whole tank down; simply remove the driptip, turn the tank upside down and unscrew the base section where the coil is. The tank with remaining juice sits quite securely on the upturned 'top' and you can tinker to your heart's delight until such time that you want to reassemble.
I would also agree that making the coil is actually the easy bit, installing it is a bit more fiddly. YouTube is the way to go though, so by the time you have read this, you will no doubt have made some decision.
A Vapemeet would be a great chance to see some different atties and watch one being built, maybe having a go yourself too

Ok.. well apart from the Taifun and Kayfun (Both excellent choices btw) for single handed use, what about a Rose?
Might take a bit of getting used to but once you get into the swing of it, it's relatively simple to align the legs and reassemble (tho I'm using both hands)
As chykensa advises youtube will give you a better idea of what may or may not be possible for you.

Agreed on the Rosev2, if you can manage to get the coil into the holes its a piece of pussy urine, and it comes with a heavy stand/base that will help hold it in place while you work on it

May I suggest the Eleaf Lemo as an alternative to the Kayfun Lite

Available here: puremist.co.uk/rba    (Free delivery)

here: www.provapes.co.uk/search?q=Lemo  (Ex delivery)

and here:  innovapours.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=426   (Ex delivery)

The Lemo uses the kayfun type build but you have the option of putting the coil legs through the post holes on the sides rather than under the screw heads on the top which would possibly be more manageable for you.

There are some good images to show this here:  www.edampf-shop.com/Lemo-Drop-Atomizer-Aircontrol-Eleaf-iSmoka

I've purchased a 'Drop' version from Puremist and (it arrived next day) I'm really very impressed with it.

Todd and P Busardo have both done reviews

Been awake half the night when I spotted this so I had a go at my kayfun single handed and then rose single handed.
Rose was much easier out of the 2.
Neither were exactly easy or the best builds but with practice the rose wins for single hand operation.
Where it came into its own was securing the coil as once its in you just tighten the grub screws.
Only bit I really struggled with was undoing/doing up the bloody things lol this is where the rose was a bit awkward but I screwed the base onto a mod, using the stand filled Atty up, grabbed mod upside down and held in mouth screwed attyto base then tightened juice control, turned whole thing right way job done.
Vapes pretty good tbh. Yes it took about 20 mins to recoil one handed but it is dooable.
The kayfun was a bugger to get coil in place a lot of swearing and nearly launched it across room.
Ended up use I g a 3rd hand holder to keep koil in place and had the base in vice to stop it moving.
Kayfun alot easier to fill one handed.
Hope that helps

Thanks for all of the info guys

I've been out and bought a Kayfun today and my coils will arrive next week (cheers Greg top man)

Now my last question.......promise.......

Whats the best material to use for the wick, I got some with the Kayfun but it doesn't look right?

Cheers Dave

[Greg]

You have chose wisely, my suggestion would have been the new Kanger Sub Tank as you have the best of both worlds, paulymeatballs has just put up a review of it allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/thread/48403/kanger-sub-tank-hd-slideshow?page=1&scrollTo=846913  and the cheapest place to buy one is here myepack.co.uk/clearomizers/kanger-subtank.html good luck with your coiling, peace Carl

Yeah bit of a bummer but the included 22-25mm adapter may work for some people and he is using a Seven 22 which is a 26650 device, but the versatility of the device is a major draw and the positive reviews coming through too

I like everything about it bar the size !

[hazza1962]

I know you've already sorted your RBA but I thought I'd just say that the Heron is the easiest Tank I've ever built on !!! I've got three of them and they take about five minutes to set up,unfortunately there's only FT selling them and without the GP logo now!!!

[brummiematt]

hay nobodies mentioned a squape, my first rba and has a wide deck, also just got the kanger sub best of both worlds and im sure you will be able to buy pre made coils for it

[*-SARIN-*]

Any tank with hole posts would be the best option.
