ISO RBA for the Eleaf Ello-Vate tank: Baby beast rba maybe?

[Tornadoalleydeb]

This is the Ello vate tank I think?? ellovate tank? it came with pico s kit I recently got. I really like the looks of the tank but am at a loss what RBA might work? I think the Baby beast rba is supposed to work?? Does anyone who happens to have this kit know for sure? Thanks so much for any info or if you have something you would sell that will work... I used to have a RBA for the baby beast but I think I sent that one to Big Rick? I can't remember now. This is what it looks like

@nadalama You're pretty good with this stuff, any idea what rba may work with this cutie tank? Thanks

I have been google searching but nothing I can find that is confirmed to work, or at least I haven't found it yet anyway.

I got mine to work with the the Baby Beast RBA, but I think I had to use different glass and I don't remember which one.

 

[Tornadoalleydeb]

lol and I had just sent you a message as I figured you might know also. well if you remember at some point let me know

 

[Ms. Trixy]

I think it's the Big BB straight glass. I believe @Just Frank may know. She's very familiar with cross compatibility with anything BB.

 

[Just Frank]

The V8 Baby RBAs are 3mm taller than the actual coils. Yes it would work but you need to find a bigger glass. I don't have that one so I cant check for you.

I got a Baby RBA to work with my Swag 2 kit with the NRG PE tank. A Uwell Nunchaku glass is taller and it worked perfectly.

I also found out that you could use one in the Geekvape Cerberus by using an Illusion Mini glass or Augvape Intake RTA glass.

There's other potential options but they're getting harder to find. One is a single coil deck for one of the Ijoy tanks Exo XS maybe? They were $2 at Eightvape but the airflow is annoyingly restrictive. I posted about them working and they sold out in quick fashion..

There's also the Baby Prince RBA but they're rare and they aren't that great. The deck space is tiny and it's got a weird screw clamp system. The airflow holes aren't centered, it's a bit of a mess to work with.

Your best bet is to get another one of the V8 Baby RBAs. They vape decently. I like the chamber size and airflow hole size over their bigger ones. It's just a matter of finding a taller glass to make them work together. I just rummage through my old tanks until I find one. Not sure if you have very many though.

Thanks, I see a baby and a big baby and a TFV8 Baby. I assume it's the TFV8 Baby one you are saying works well? So many Smok tanks geeze lol

@Just Frank please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm thinking that the BB and the BBB use the same RBA. If the BBB straight glass would work with that RBA on the Ello Vate, just see if you can find a BBB tank for cheap somewhere, because the BBB generally comes packaged with the RBA.

I have both the Ello Vate and the BBB, and my BBB needs to be rebuilt anyway, because all of a sudden I'm getting an atomizer short. I just might try this if I can make time for it later today.

I also have two Illusion Mini tanks, but you might as well be looking for free gold as to try to find one of those these days. They are extremely rare. I really don't want to cannibalize one of them because I'm sort of sentimental about them. They were the first sub-ohm tank I used that I actually liked! I also always used the adapter in them for Atlantis-style coils. Hey! Wonder if that adapter and an Atlantis coil would work in the Ello Vate? It would still need the taller glass.

@Just Frank, do you happen to have a Smok Spirals RBA? It's single coil and shorter than any of the Beast series RBAs. (Those are rare these days, too.) If I'm remembering right, it looks to be about the right size for the Ello Vate.

 

[Tornadoalleydeb]

Well, I found a V8 baby RBA at Fasttech and it looks like it comes with a glass but I ordered a nunchaku V1 and V2 glass just in case. Thanks so much. Hopefully it works as I really love the looks of this little tank. If not I am gonna take one of those coils apart and do it the old school way like we all did with those itty bitty kanger coils lol

Thanks, I saw your message after I ordered the stuff from fasttech but I will keep my eyes open for a cheapie BBB that comes with the RBA and glass just in case.

@Just Frank please correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm thinking that the BB and the BBB use the same RBA.

I am not @Just Frank , but I happen to know that yes, the BB and BBB use the same RBA. But with different glass. Even the stock BBB glass won't work with the RBA in the BBB. You need THIS

 

[gsmit1]

...because the BBB generally comes packaged with the RBA.

True, (I think) but it seems that most BBB tanks floating around came with a full kit somebody bought, with a mod and didn't include the RBA.

Right. I should have been clearer. If you buy the tank as a standalone purchase.

My point was that most people (that I've seen anyway around here and other forums) who have a BBB got it in a kit that included neither the rba nor the glass that works with the rba. I hope that made sense.

Yes, I was kinda doing the same thing. I haven't seen a Smok kit that came with an RBA and extra glass for it. To get that combo, you have to buy the tank by itself, and check the contents to be sure the RBA and glass (if needed) is included.

AND, if you buy the RBA, it doesn't have the glass either. So if somebody got their BBB in a kit and then buys the rba, they still don't have glass There!! THAT's what I was trying to say LOL!

 

[gsmit1]

That's what I get for trying to do too may things at the same time .

 

[Just Frank]

Thanks, I see a baby and a big baby and a TFV8 Baby. I assume it's the TFV8 Baby one you are saying works well? So many Smok tanks geeze lol

They're the same rebuildable decks. The BB one comes with a 22mm glass so you can use the RBA. The BBB one cones with a taller 24mm (wide) glass or whatever it is.

 

[Just Frank]

@Just Frank, do you happen to have a Smok Spirals RBA? It's single coil and shorter than any of the Beast series RBAs. (Those are rare these days, too.) If I'm remembering right, it looks to be about the right size for the Ello Vate.

Yeah, I got a Spirals a long time ago. Mines the 22mm one though. It came with a RBA that's actually the size of the Spirals coils. The Baby Beast RBAs being taller throws a monkey wrench at people trying to use them in non Smok tanks. There's glass for just about everything though, so many sizes.. It's just a matter of finding one that works.

 

[nadalama]

I know one thing. I don't much like these Ello Vate coils. I bought a couple boxes of Cerberus coils, might try one of those in this tank.

Seems a shame to swap out the glass in the Ello Vate. The glass in mine is really attractive, kind of a smoky looking glass.

 

[Just Frank]

AND, if you buy the RBA, it doesn't have the glass either. So if somebody got their BBB in a kit and then buys the rba, they still don't have glass There!! THAT's what I was trying to say LOL!

I'm pretty sure they're supposed to include the correct glass (Baby, or Big Baby). That's how mine have come anyways.

Judging by this picture, the glass would probably have to be tall in regards to using it with a Baby Beast RBA. I have no idea which atomizers glass will allow you to use it with that tank. Maybe I should just order a kit with one of those tanks so I can find out. I like to figure stuff like this out.

I dont have a Big Baby tank in front of me but wouldn't it be crazy if they were just the same size? Probably not tho..

 

[nadalama]

Well, if you order a kit, Vapesourcing had a couple of colors left at $16.99 or something like, just a few days ago. You'll need a code. I found it on the Cheapvaping.deals website but don't recall right off what it was.

I can tell you the tank is bigger than 22mm. It's probably 24mm, but I doubt it's any larger than that. The coils in it are relatively small, too.

My first vape Purchase was a Procolor/BBB kit. It came with neither the RBA nor the glass that works with the RBA. I later bought the RBA which had no glass. I had to get a glass from Kidney Puncher that allowed me to use the RBA with the BBB that came in my kit. If you buy just the tank kit, it comes with both of the glass sections and the RBA. Smok's site says this :


...and a question at BREAZY also confirms it.

Not that you were dispuring any of this

 

[nadalama]

One more caveat to that: The V8 Baby RBA comes with the taller glass that works with the Baby Beast. However, the RBA will fit in the BBB, but the glass would still need to be bought separately because it won't work with the BBB. The BB glass is a smaller diameter. Correct?

The following notes are from Vapor Authority

___________________________________________________________________________
NOTE: The Big Baby RBA version includes the extended glass necessary to use with the Big Baby Tank. This glass is not compatible with the Baby Tank

The Baby RBA version includes the extended glass necessary to use with the Baby Tank. This glass is not compatible with the Big Baby Tank

*This RBA Head is NOT compatible with Big Baby Light Edition.

______________________________________________________________________________
My suspicion also is that there is a Baby RBA that comes with NO glass.


Is this confusing enough? Honest to god, who designed all this? I think they must have fired all their designers about every two weeks, and brought in new crews who didn't have a clue what the old crews had done. It's the craziest thing.

None of mine did.

I've bought several of the separate purchase V8 Baby RBAs. It's been a while but I'm almost certain they came with glass. That's why they have two versions (V8 Baby RBA & V8 Big Baby RBA) so you get the correct glass to use it.

with NO glass.

There must be. Either that or the vendors are taking the glass out and selling those separate which is a slimy move. There's also clone Baby RBAs at fasttech. Maybe some stores are selling those which is just the deck and nothing else.

Ok, this is correct.

The seperate purchase RBA does come with the glass for the BB, but not for the BBB. THAT's what it is.

So scratch this:

None of mine did.

OMG I'm SO confused now LOLOLOL ...........Thanks all for the help. If what I ordered works, then great and if not, well. so be it

It'll work. The glass probably won't though if it comes with one. The RBA is 3mm taller than an actual coil. So you're going to need a glass that's 3mm taller than you currently have (and the same width of course).

 

[Ms. Trixy]

Deb, if worse comes to worse, VaporAuthority has the BBB RBA glass with RBA for $10.99. It's way cheaper than buying the tank. Good Luck!!!

Yes I have a gold BBB with rba deck. Do not buy anything. I will go through stuff and get it all back in it's box and get it out to you. It served me well. I used it daily and loved the vape from it. Man that is a beautiful set up. So I will msg you and let you know on getting it all together again. It is in 3 different places lol but I know I have all of it. Funny it went through other hands on my end as well. It is still beautiful though. Full circle.

 

[gsmit1]

However this fits in here, I just bought a BBB and it came with the RBA and the glass for both the coils and the RBA. With starter kits that include the BBB tank, it comes with neither the RBA nor the glass for it in the kit.

 

[Just Frank]

I told Deb in a PM that I have a couple of Lexicon kits coming. Even though the names of the tanks are different, they're the same brand and supposedly the same size glass. I'll get this mystery figured .... I think. ?

Well, that's a very nice offer. Thank you! I look forward to your message then With everyone's help I will get this tank rocking yet! Love this forum and the people on it.

 

[Just Frank]

I got my Lexicon kits today. I discovered the glass size is pretty much exactly the same size as the Big Baby Beast. I thought that was great news so I got one of my Big Baby rba kits.

The bad news is, the RBA screws in and the tanks design totally blocks off the wicking channels in the RBA. It's the same way trying to use a V8 Baby RBA in a Baby Prince tank. They just can't work together. I'll post a couple of visuals below.



Here it is screwed in-


This is not the Ello Vate, but it's the Ello Duro I believe? They're very similar in design. My prediction from looking at pictures is the RBA you got won't work in that particular tank @debinnv .

I'll check if the Ijoy ones I have fit and will work. If they do, I'll send you one. They're single coil but pretty restrictive on the airflow.

 

[Tornadoalleydeb]

Well darn.............Thank you so much for trying @Just Frank

 

[Bigrick]

Does that mean the Big Baby Beast rba is out as well? Oh man I hope not. Fingers crossed.

 

[Tornadoalleydeb]

Rick, if it does not work for me. I will send it back for you. I so appreciate you trying to get me hooked up though. You're a dear. I am crossing my fingers also. The tank is a different one and hopefully it is just different enough that the wicking channels will not be blocked. That or I may be able to modify it. We will see when it gets here. Worse case I buy a bunch of the pnp coils. ewwwwwwwwwww. BUT that said, those coils are pretty darn nice. The mesh one that came with the tank is at least.

No, I just want so much to be able to do something for you. I have seen you do nice things for so many members I really wanted to help out where I could. It is not often I am in a position to actually make a contribution. Especially for someone as deserving as yourself. You are a significant contribution to VU and the place would not be the same without you. Good night.

Yep fingers crossed. I would be very happy if it worked. That deck saw many builds and I compared it to about any of my rta's for flavor and clouds. It has been just sitting for about 3 months and was almost forgotten so it is like a second life for it.

Geekvape Cerberus coils are also supposed to work, just fyi in case you see any on sale. They are the Super Mesh coils. The Cerberus tank came with the Aegis Solo kit.

L just saw a post on ECF saying the BB RBA works on the Cerberus with the bubble glass from an Intake, single coil I suspect..

 

[Just Frank]

L just saw a post on ECF saying the BB RBA works on the Cerberus with the bubble glass from an Intake, single coil I suspect..

This is correct. I ordered some Intake (the original one, single coil RTA) from Fasttech. They work perfectly for the Cerberus tanks with the Baby Smok RBAs. Someone tipped that to me somewhere. I'd been posting about the Illusion Mini glass working in case anyone cared.

Swag 2 kit owners can use a Uwell Nunchaku tank glass on their NRG PE tanks to use the Baby RBA. When I have free time I'll try to find more.

Deb told me a work around for those giant Eleaf bottom seals that I can't believe I didn't think of. Just use a different seal and it'll work! Luckily the Ello tanks we have been talking about have pretty much the same size glass as the Big Baby tanks.

Thank you everyone for all the help and a special thank you to @Bigrick for getting the RBA and glass to me.

The new Vaporesso Gen S kits come with a new tank called the NRG S. It's probably the largest tank that I've ever seen that uses Baby Beast styled coils. I looked around tonight to find a glass that would allow it to use a Baby Beast RBA.

The original Fireluke/Mesh Pro/M-Pro 2 glasses almost worked. They're about a millimeter too short.

It actually creates a seal, but if it were to bump upwards, it'd probably leak out. Darn it, so close.

 

[Tornadoalleydeb]

Now here is the next BIG question, what other sub ohm tanks does this RBA work on? I'm curious and didn't find a google list for that
