Benefits of RTAs over stock coil tanks?

[LordOdin]

When i first started Vaping i had the same concerns as many other Vapers, will i be able to do it. There are guys on here who are willing and able to guide you through each and every step. I would say that @scrumpox nailed it in his comments. Most things are hard until you actually do them, a Month from now you will wonder what the fuss was all about.

Thank you all. Always get great, helpful advice on here

I’ve ordered an Ares 2 LE tank. I’ve stuck with Innokin because I’ve had great dealings with their customer service since I’ve been vaping.

I’m sure I’ll be bugging you with more questions when it arrives lol

Thanks again!

Ask as much as you like. Interested to see how you get on.

improved performance. this is the main advantage imo. i hate stock coils.

I'm another one that was very wary of building at first, but I found my feet with the help of the good folks on here and never looked back.

Ask as many questions as you need to, we've all been there.

Hi @Bruben

As so many have already said, building and wicking is much easier than it seems. When I began vaping I felt a bit intimidated by all the jargon used when it came to rebuildables but after watching a few instructional videos I decided to give it a go. Made an arse of my first couple of coils and couldn't wick for toffee. But with a little bit of perseverance I soon picked it up. The only downside is that, if like myself and countless others, you might find yourself hunting for Nirvana and end up buying loads of different rta's. This will be because you'll end up watching loads of reviews and the reviewers very rarely say that the tank they are reviewing is basically shite. The majority of rta's are really quite similar, be they MTL or DTL, so if you find one that you can build and wick consistently well then I would suggest you stick with it and you'll save a fortune. I've bought dozens of them but always end up going back to just 2 or 3 of them with the rest of them just gathering dust. The price of wick and wire is ridiculously low in comparison to stock coils and if you get into mixing your own juice which is also incredibly easy you'll save even more. It's not just about the savings though. The vape you get with your own coil and juice us just so much better than any stock coil. My first attempt at building was with a kanger subtank. I used it for months with stock coils then I plucked up the courage to use the rba that came with it. The flavour from the rba was just incredible compared to the stock coils. Good luck and happy vaping.

I think the reason people buy more rtas starts off once you have your wire and cotton when you see a rta you like the look of you don't have to think about buying any coils, instead you think well with the money I save not buying coils I'll buy that rta. Then another a couple of months later etc.

If i could get stock coils as easy as i can get cigarettes i would just use them.
The gtx and gt coils (and a few others) r so good n can be had so cheap, life is too short unless building a coil is your idea of fun.

(Sometimes ppl like to rewick everyday to always have fresh cotton, thats another good reason to rebuild)

My coils cost about $1.50 and last at least a week. Thats like 20 cents a day.

Definitely give a update once you've used it would be good to hear a first timers review and good luck

It's the 'if I could get stock coils as easily as cigarettes' that is part of the problem. Some are easy to find but some are proprietary and not so easily found 6 months down the road. You can generally find someone. somewhere selling old stock online but there's a question mark over how long they will take to ship. Forget about finding them in a local B&M. Alternatively you can always bin the tank and just buy new when the coil supply gets erratic.

Even if you intend to stick with stock coils its worthwhile buying a rebuildable tank, a few spools of clapton wire and a supply of cotton to stash away if necessary. Recent events in the US show just how quickly things can change.

I keep a small stock of decent coils and tanks for the times I go somewhere and don't want the hassle of taking a build kit and spare everything with me, but it doesn't make any sense to use them at home as putting in a new build can be done in the same time as letting a stock coil prime once you've done it a couple of times, and they give better flavour - but good mesh coils can come close.

I'd like to point out the long term savings, but like most hobbyists I spend far more on buying more re-buildables than I ever would if I just bought stock coils for a couple of stock coil tanks.
