Wondering if anyone is using one of these? If so what has your experience been? Its the only rebuildable pod system that I am aware of so wanted to know what folks thoughts were before grabbing a couple.

I am about to start travelling again and want something for the road that doesnt suck and allows me to stay away from factory coils.

Thoughts appreciated.

rebuildable pod system you say ...

There's another called the Jester that has an rba, too
Vapefly Jester Pod The DIY version includes the rebuildable cartridge not the mesh version
Diy edition https://www.3avape.com/vapefly-jestor-pod-kit-1000mah-diy-edition.html 30 USD

then there is pricey Squid Industries Squad Pod System and Mechlyfe Ratel Pod System both as well

then we have https://www.electrictobacconist.com/smoant-pasito-coils-p6706
https://www.electrictobacconist.com/smoant-pasito-p6704

Are own @5150sick may be able to comment on that last one as well as @Huckleberried

i however am not a pod user but the jester got my attention

I like the AIO and replaceable 18650, but the size makes it limiting for me. Bc of the thickness and height it's not very pocketable, meaning that it stays at home. Might as well be a mod and RTA then right?
If they went with a side-by-side design and lipo it would've been a winner for me.
Just my two cents...

The draw activated ones give me mouth ulcers for some reason. I will check those others out. I am not afraid to shell a little coin for something good but I am skeptical of anything Chinese these days, maybe someone has some details. Thanks for the leads.

I have a Hellvape Grimm Kit on the way. It uses Nautilus style coil heads butthe Hippovape(?!) RSS is a compatible RBA that also fits in the Pal 2 and a couple other AIO/pod thingy. I have one of those on the slow boat too. I'll keep you posted.

I saw that Hippovape RBA on 3FVape earlier today. It also fits the IJoy Mercury in addition to several models of the Pal pods.

Also saw a Smok model that has an RBA RPM40 I think it was. Seems like more and more companies are coming out with RBAs for pod units.

Todd just posted a review of the Artery Nugget AIO. They offer a RBA for it as well. I like this trend!

They bare big ... I mhave the Ratel XS. But they are pretty good. I would say slightly larger than the DotAio ... I mlike the /RBa deck single coil.

Funny, I wound up with a DotAio! I really love it so far with Triton Mini coils but I need to pick up the RBA. Word is that the Ohmvape AIO RBA is the same thing but can be had for about $12 from China.
That XS looks like a big improvement from the OG. Sounds like you're happy with it!
