When it comes to vapes, they can range from the most simple of creations to extremely complex mods. Amongst the complex world of vapes are RDAs, RTAS and RDTAs. RDAs, or Rebuildable Dripping Atomisers, are atomisers where the user drips e-liquid directly onto the coil and wick. Unlike standard vapes, RDAs do not have a tank, so they need to be refilled frequently. RDAs provide great flavour and vapour production, but can be difficult to use for beginners.

RTAs, or Rebuildable Tank Atomisers, do have a tank. This means that RTAs can hold more e-liquid than RDAs. RTA tanks are easier to use than RDAs, but may not provide as much flavour and vapour production.

Remember when we said the world of vapes can get complex? Well, an RDTA is a combination of both of the previously mentioned types of atomisers. RDTA tanks are hybrids in that they perform very much like a RDA does, however the vape tank holds the juice in it and feeds it without having to drip the e-liquid like it would if you were to use an RDA.

Rebuildable dripping atomisers have a post build deck on which coils are made and wicked. After doing so, insert your RDA back into your vape device and take a drag.

A squonk mod might have a strange name, but it's actually a very clever type of mod that allows for a unique vape style. These mods allow vapers to carry their e-liquid around as they would in a regular mod, whilst enjoying the same type of hits that you experience from an RDA or RTA. The squonk is a small plastic bottle that you fill with e-liquid and fit into the mod itself. The action of squonking refers to squeezing the squonk bottle, which will feed drops of e-juice onto the coil.

A high VG e-liquid is best for an RDA such as a shortfill in order to create big flavour and clouds.

RDAs provide a number of advantages over other types of vaping including. For example, they have a greater flexibility in terms of coil building and wicking and produce better flavour production due to direct dripping onto coils. They are also capable of creating impressive amounts of vapour production.
