So, with all the jazz regarding the FDA, and the endless threads I've read that can't give a definitive answer on what is going to happen, or if stockpiling should commence. I ask you this..

I'm new to vaping and yeah I'm slightly scared that it's all going to get taking away from me, and don't want to go back to cigs. I don't need anything for cloud comps, just everyday vaping...

What RTA for a beginner, that I can buy today, along with enough wire and wick, could last me for life? ha..
Something bulletproof, easy, not leaky, also I would prefer something in the smaller size category.

I just want to grab one for now, have a fiddle rebuilding and learn, and if the world doesn't end, I would have at least progressed with my skills..

I was looking at beginner RTA articles on the net etc and the Subtank Mini's name was thrown around a bit.

Hit me!

Yeah got me stockpiling too, ima scared lol. I don't know about bullet proof, but the Wotofo Serpent mini in small, easy to build single coil, very nice vape. Just received 2 Augvape Merlins, they are beautiful. Haven't used yet. Check out their threads here. And checkout YouTube for their respective vids to get a look see.

Currently there is no extra spare glass for the Merlin available, this is a must if you want to prepare for vapocalypse. So currently I would not recommend it for that purpose, but perhaps spare glass will be released in the near future, which will make it good candidate.
A tank with plenty of spare parts is for example the griffin , but it is dual coil only (but rumor has it the plug for the 25mm will fit, but can't confirm), same goes for aromamizer, but again only dual coil.
Other with plenty of spares are the subtank or tfv4 micro, but they use screws instead of velocity posts, so can't recommend to start with as I hate screws to trap wire :)
I do like the avocado 24mm, it has plenty of spare parts for it, dual and single coil, easy to build, big build deck, decent volume, but it is 24mm, so not sure if that's what your looking for.
My favorite is still the bellus, dual and single, spare glass is plenty and you can buy cheap clones for spares, but it is not the easiest to wick and only takes smaller coils, but the flavor is outstanding.

All in all too much choice :)
If you don't mind the 24mm I think I would recommend the avocado 24 is the easiest, has plenty of spares available (and cheap clones for even more spare parts), and a short profile. Also really good flavor and decent volume.
If spare glass comes available, I could also recommend the Merlin.

Am I correct in thinking that the tanks on fasttech are clones?

Merlin is a great tank and would definitely recommend for vapocolypse stashing.

Extra glass is not that hard to come by on the secondary market if need be.

Merlins do come with a spare glass tube in the initial purchase, btw.

Speaking as a Vapocalypse Beginner I would give the Boreas a look. I am all thumbs and I was able to build and wick on it. It did take me two tries but I got it. All things considered I don't think that's a steep learning curve. I also ordered 4 Merlins, 2 Allerias, 2 Avocado's and 2 Limitless. I have not received any of them yet but after seeing the reviews on the Merlin I can't wait. I do think that if you want to continue vaping the way you like that all of us are going to have to eventually learn how to build. Before I ordered all these tanks I was strictly a Crown guy. I do find it amazing that some juices actually taste much better in a rebuildable as opposed to a stock coil. I have definitely been missing out on some flavor. Oh, I almost forgot yes @ej1024 I am a HOARDER. lol.

On an impulse by at my local B&M I got the Cleito with the RBA deck and the larger glass. I'm very impressed with it and really recommend it to a beginner. Velocity style build deck so easy to build on. You can also use stock coils.

Here's a picture of mine, it's the one in the middle

That Clieto is a big sucker.

Not really, I got the larger glass accessory cause the RBA deck is larger than the stock coils. The deck is the largest RBA deck I've seen, so really easy for beginners. Hell I put a 30x2/36 fused Clapton's, 6 wraps on 2.5 di with room to spare! Flavor is really kicking

Interesting option, and not a big investment. I'm not building anything exotic as a noob, but I've made a few standard coils, 24g or 26g kanthal or NiChrome for a 4- post RDA I have, from Kidney Puncher wire. More practical than an RDA for my work and driving situation, when away from home.

I know you said for 'everyday vaping', but what wattage range do you like hitandmist?
