Rebuildable dripping tank atomizers (RDTAs) are the vape tanks that bridge the gap between RDAs and RTAs. Some of the best RDTAs can provide a dripper-style experience, in terms of flavor, with the added convenience of a tank.

While RDTAs had been losing ground in popularity with the rise of the bottom-fed RDAs, they have recently resurfaced with some high-quality products entering the market.

See the best RDTAs available right now and learn more about what they are and how to use them in the guide below.

Wotofo Profile RDTA

The Wotofo Profile is a 25 mm RDTA with a very familiar build deck design. It comes with a removable tank section that allows it to be easily transformed into an RDA, and features stainless steel ropes that efficiently transfer juice from the tank to your wicks. The Profile holds up to 6.2 mL of e-liquid and comes in six colors.

What is an RDTA?

An RDTA is essentially an RDA sitting on top of an e-juice reservoir. The wicks hang down into the tank, soak up the liquid and feed it to the coil. They provide the best of both worlds between a dripper and a tank.

RDTAs are based off the Genesis style of atomizers which were popular for their flavor. Traditionally stainless-steel mesh was used for wicking, but since has been replaced primarily with organic cotton. RDTAs are a throwback, yet innovative at the same time.

Why use an RDTA?

For years, vapers have strived to attain that seemingly impossible “dripper in a tank” experience. There are actually lot of great tanks out there right now. The problem is, even the best ones can’t seem to top the flavor of a good RDA. It has a lot to do with the few extra millimeters that the vapor has to travel through the chimney. This can make a world of difference, believe it or not. Enter RDTAs.

Rebuildable dripping tank atomizers were the industry’s answer to this desire. On an RDTA, the mouthpiece sits right on top of the coils, just like an RDA. Unlike a tank, the vapor doesn’t travel through a chimney, it’s the same proximity to your mouth as it would be on an average dripper.

Advantages of RDTAs

  • Dripper-like performance
  • Increased liquid capacity
  • Easy filling methods
  • Rebuildable/re-wickable
  • Can be used like a dripper

Disadvantages of RDTAs

  • Not low-profile devices
  • Require more careful wicking than RDAs

How to use an RDTA

Even the best RDTAs require some trial and error to attain the perfect build and wicking. Experiment with different builds and techniques to find out which one is best for you. These are some tips to get you started in the right direction:

  • Don’t use too much or too little cotton, it has to be just right
  • Comb and fluff your wicks gently
  • Experiment with different wick lengths
  • Don’t build your coils too high or too low

Conclusion

Now you have seen some of the best RDTA vapes and have a basic understanding of how they work. Do rebuildable dripping tank atomizers really give you the best of both worlds? Technically speaking, they do because they incorporate some of the best features from each.

Many RDA users have been getting into squonk mods which come with an e-liquid bottle that fits into the body of the vape mod. This negates the need for constant dripping by adding a large juice reservoir to your RDA. But for those who do not wish to purchase a squonking mod, but want more juice capacity than the typical dripper, RDTAs are the best option available. They essentially offer the experience of building and vaping an RDA with the advantage of a reservoir in the form of a tank beneath the deck.

Even if you decide to give squonking a go, RDTAs can still come in handy. Some of the newer RDTAs on the market are incorporating squonk pins, giving vapers an extra option and even more e-liquid capacity. The performance and convenience of these devices keep improving as the technology continues to advance.
