For sure, although might never happen. I love that mod. If I had to pick one tiny, tiny gripe, it's so light a good sized atty makes it a bit wobbly. I usually just stick to lighter atty's on it.

Tobecco snub nose and it's a dual that is not the top cap that comes with it as the top that it comes with has the drip tip attached and it is metal so it would get really hot. Ivapesuppy has them or at least they did

Okay @IcepickMaker84 I had to try it. @DonBaldy I'm hoping this will keep me from buying an Arcless. We'll see.

While I am thoroughly enjoying the Arcless I see no reason to get it when You have it sitting on the beautiful Kennedy. Looks great on there and IMO both mods vape similarly. I've wanted an Arcless but wouldn't have gone out and bought one. Had I not gotten it as part of a trade I wouldn't have one.

Now saying that I see absolutely no reason not to have both.

I believe it's worth having one in the collection. I prefer the RTA over the RDA.
I like them both. Building the RDA as we speak lol. Pretty cheap overall, glad I have both in my collection. Agree though, RDA can be had many of ways, imho. RTA way passed all my expectations.

I never could get the DR RDA working well for me. No matter what I did it would just make me cough. I've been told that it was all about coil height and tried different heights to no avail. Maybe I'll dig it out again and try again now that i'm more experienced.

What’s the difference between RTA and RDA? You rebuild them both, so I’m finally asking someone. Yep, instead of looking it up myself...

An RDA is basically a build deck you put your coil(s) on with a juice well. You wick your coils with the tails of the wick dropping down to the juice well. You drip or squonk your juice into the juice well and the cotton wicks it up to the coils.

An RTA is similar, having a build deck for your coils and a juice well but has a chamber that sits over the coils with a tank (usually glass) encasing everything. You fill the tank with juice and it feeds the coils from below.

An RTA is a little more complicated to build on because if you don't get the wicking right you will either have leaks or dry hits.

Don't be intimidated, it's not as complicated as it sounds. Watch some YouTube videos before diving in and you'll be fine.

At the risk of maybe restating the obvious, there are a couple more acronyms that go a little further than your question, which was a good one. We all started at the beginning.
RDA stands for Rebuildable Drip Atomizer. RTA stand for Rebuildable Tank Atomizer, and were explained above.

Then there is the RSA, which stand for Rebildable Squonk Atomizer, and has a 510 pin with a hole in to squonk through. Most RDAs come with a squonk pin to convert them to RSAs.

Then you kind of go off into the weeds. There is the RDTA, or Rebuldable Drip Tank Atomizer, which is a dripper with a small, usually glass, tank below the deck, with 2 holes in the bottom of the deck. Its built as a dripper with the wicks extending down into the tank, and has a squonk 510 pin. You can either drip from the top or fill the tank by squonking. Not many of those, the VapeFly Galaxies is one that I have. Nice little MTL.
Probably more than you wanted to know. :gaah:
