Please open and use the rba...then come bk and tell us what you think! Im umming and arring about gettin one of these.

What is the vape comparable too? As in other atties

To be honest it's the first tank I've used a sub ohm coil in.

I briefly had a crown but didn't rate it at all. (Only think I liked was e massive air flow) So I only have a lemo 2 and a subtank mini to compare it too. It's far airier than those and I like that it doesn't get warm even when I chain vape at 33w.

The others I use my own coils in at around 1.2 ohms. And I've ordered the RBA so I can go a bit higher ohms wise and hopefully use less juice!

Fast tech have them for £4. Can't really go wrong at that price.

You have just reminded me i got a refund/voucher thing still in my FT account. I think ill order one

Even better!

Considering they cost £10 they're a bloody bargain.

Id love a tank that has great premade coils. Bit i havent found one thats anywhere near as good as rta's.

No me either.

But it is nice to have a tank I can just swap out a coil and go with. I didn't order the isub until after the rba was released as having switched to rebuilding I balk at the price of coils! Especially when you consider the fact you can't change the cotton on them when you switch flavour etc.

But I did grab a pack for the isub as they were £5 on Amazon. Changing the cotton is a doddle isn't it and they seem to last an age!

I finally got my Isub G on the go, not sure I added enough concentrate but it's a learning curve so will get it right at some point, I like it so far, though it may eat up more juice than I'm used to, just got some coils from Amazon but cost me £6 did not see any at a £5, don't know anything about rewicking them guess I will learn about that along the way.

They are super super easy to rewick.

Just ease the cotton out. Give it a light dry burn and replace the cotton. It takes about three minutes all in all and is made much easier by the fact you can remove the coil without taking the tank apart.

Thank you, will need to watch that a few times before having a go.

Im late to the isub party as I've been more then happy with sub tanks. Had isubs about a month now and I'd say they are as good with stock coils as the subtank is with the RBA deck.
 I haven't tried the isub rbas yet although I have bought a couple but I'm enjoying the stock coils.

Atty and coils are cheap as chips from FT, there's nothing not to like really

Just to update this.

I decided to give the isub rba base a go.

It's easily the worst RBA base I've ever come across.

I've wasted almost an entire spool of wire trying to get a coil in. The holes you need to feed the wire down aren't in line with where the coil naturally sits. So already you've got two twist the coil strangely before you even start to tighten it.

One side the coil has to be fed through an s shape bend?! Because that's not a bit difficult.

I've watched the above video about ten times and can't figure out how to get a coil in there.

Edit. Of course the second I post saying I can't get a coil in, I get a coil in.

Hopefully it gets easier the more you use it!

Well I had a go before your edit and found it quite easy. 
I found it was much easier to thread the coil legs through the holes if you snip one of the coil legs shorter so you can thread one leg through respective holes one at a time.

Also I did it different to the video in that I secured the easier straight down leg first and then used pliers to pull the awkward leg tight.

hope that helps next time

Yeah I was making sure one leg was shorter. Tightening the straight one first then trying to get the second. It was the second I just couldn't get.

I just ended up mangling the coil. Then when I got that in I'd remove the coil jig the coil would just twist around anyway and no amount of trying to straighten it worked.

Not entirely sure how I got a coil in in the end. I think more dumb luck than skill but it's done now so I'll worry about it when it needs re-doing.

Thankfully the coils aren't expensive so even if o decided I can't be bothered with the rba it's not as though I'll be breaking the bank buying coils.

[Jerri]

Well my isub is on the naughty shelf tonight!

The first coil gave up (three months use, amazing!). So I thought I'd try the RBA. Couldn't get a coil to sit straight. Took me an age to actually get a coil in anyway.

Wicked and vaped. Dry hit central. Okay too much cotton I thought. So rewick. Then it's gurgle city, I get a gob full of hot eliquid and it leaked like a sieve (first time it's leaked). Okay, more cotton. Back to dry hits.

Rewicked 6 times in total each going between dry hits and gurgles/leaking.

Gave up in the end.

I have been struggling with rewicking the heads too. It's either dry hits or gurgling and spitting. It takes me a few tries to get it right (thang god it's so easy!).

I know it's my skill that's at fault and not the tank but it's annoying non the less!

I only got the rba because eff knows what will or won't be available when the new rules come in and eff knows what prices will be like.

Think I'll just order a load of coils from FT and chuck the rba in the draw.

Still a cracking tank and the life of the coils has amazed me.

Any coils for these that can take 100w? I like it HOT

There's a 0.2ohm head . . . . which might not be scorcho enough for you anon4, but I guess you could always rebuild it:

Or the 0.1ohm Ni200 which you might be able to blast the guts out of a little better:
