There is no best... but there's lots of really good RBAs. It really depends on if your looking for pure cloudz, pure flavor, or a nice mix of both. So many really good choices. Plumeveil, Tugboat, Veritas, Hobo, Magma, Mutation X, CLT, Marquis, etc., many... many good RBAs. It's mind boggling how many good RBAs there are. Each have there own pluses and minuses, but just jump in and get one and start to learn what you like.

Both of what you have are good. I suggest you look into the Russian V2 if you're looking for more.

I really like my Kayfuns.

But I am also really liking my Orchid V4.

Holds a decent amount of E-Liquid (unless you lay it on its side and then it leaks a decent amount of E-Liquid) and vapes like an RDA.

Hey Uncle, i might go with the kayfun, i hate to have a tank that leaks, ei kraken, i tend to lay on its side a lot.

Orchid V4 is worth a shot especially for the price of a clone. That being said I have 2 clones, one works flawless and I have yet to get an actual leak other than the little bit of dribble out of the air flow holes right after filling. Set it on its side for a good hour and no leakage. The other one, wicked the same, same coil gauge and wraps etc., that thing will slowly leak standing upright no matter what I do to it. So in my opinion its hit or miss, as with all clones, but worth the gamble for the price.

I used to love my kayfun for the good points, flavor, not leaky, tank lasted a couple days. But too often it was a balancing act of sanity and patience to keep it running. It was the most finicky, fiddly, device I have ever owned and Im happy I moved on (rda's are much lower maintenance).

In my experience, with my kayfun, one wrong move and Id have to drain the tank, disassemble, rewick, and do over. Doing this wasted so much juice it was disgusting, and often it was a stressful ordeal, happening over and over and over and over and over.

Just wanted to chime in.

True! I guess i just want something new lol...i might get the orchid!?
Orchid is the best bang for your buck. Before ordering, read the Orchid modification thread by @TheWestPole so you learn all the ins and outs of the thing.

Lemo is good.. I prefer the Lemo Drop more..

I haven't tried either yet (en route now) but I'm hoping good things on the Kayfun v4 and Taifun GT2

EHPro Billow has been my "holy grail" (until, of course, they come out with an updated version ... then we'll see :) ) - I have 2 of 'em :)

I think that will my next buy..I keep hearing really good things -it's designed more for dual coils though right?

Yes, it's made for dual coils. You could technically set up one coil and close an airhole, but that would defeat its purpose, I think.

yea.. wouldn't waste my time doing that.. I'm still not keen on dual coil RBA's but maybe eventually I'll look into them again.. I go through juice quick enough on a single so thats my only gripe

In my part of the woods (SoCal) RBA means rebuildable atomizer, RTA means rebuildable tank atomizer, and RDA means rebuildable dripping atomizer. So RBA really covers all rebuildables. Might be different where you come from.

Sure sure..but he listed Lemo and Kraken.. that kinda gave away what type of RBA he was referring to

I was only busting your balls anyways ;)

When someone asks which rba, my first reaction is to ask mouth to lung or direct lung hits and what type of mod with what power range do you have available. Otherwise I'm just making blind guesses at what you might like or will work well.
So to make a blind guess, Kayfun 4. Happy hunting.
