RDA (Rebuild-able Dripping Atomizer) is a type of rebuildable atomizer (RBA) with a deck and posts (to fasten the coil and to provide a closed path for electric energy from the batteries that heat the coil).
The tank part to hold the e-liquid is omitted in this system, and instead, the liquid is dripped by the user directly onto the coil or the wick by removing the cap and replacing it before vaping. In some cases, there is a small reservoir present under the coil assembly which holds a minute quantity of e-juice.
The Rebuild-able Dripping Atomizer tanks are known to be the best vaping hardware unit, in terms of pure and intense vapor output ideal for cloud chasers wanting to blow massive vapor clouds with intense flavor. RDA's have become the go-to equipment for advanced vapers.
However, while there are certainly some advantages of using an RDA there are also some cons that are simply too much for the average vape user.
