RBA/BORO TANKS

Boro tanks first originated in Billet Vapers Billet Box mod, an American made boro or AIO (all-in-one) device that gained a cult following worldwide since its release all the way back in 2012. Since then, the idea of combining a tank system with a mod to create an AIO device has become a more mainstream idea. However, there are some stock sub-ohm coil Boro tanks out there that utilise many popular stock coils that are also a good option should you not wish to use rebuildables.

RBAs (rebuildable atomisers) are just a part of the AIO puzzle, they contain the rebuildable section of the AIO and just like with RDAs (rebuildable dripping atomisers) and RTAs (rebuildable tank atomisers) there are a wide range of different RBA decks available on the market. They are mainly single coil RBA decks but you will find some that use mesh coils if that’s more your thing.

Boro tanks on their own are basically just an empty e-liquid tank and they are available in many different shapes and colours, it’s when you add an RBA deck into the equation is where the magic happens. Generally speaking most boro tanks will come with an RBA section that is matched to the Boro device but there are many other companies that make compatible Boro tanks that contain their own RBA section.

What is a Boro tank and how does it differ from an RBA?

A Boro tank is an interchangeable tank system used in compatible devices like the Billet Box, housing e-liquid and atomisers. An RBA (Rebuildable Atomiser) allows users to build their own coils for a customised vaping experience. While Boro tanks often use pre-built or rebuildable coils, RBAs focus entirely on user-built coils.

What are the benefits of using a Boro tank or an RBA?

Boro tanks offer high customisation, durability, and versatility with various atomisers and coils. RBAs provide superior flavour, vapour production, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to tailor the vaping experience through custom coil builds.

Can I use a Boro tank with an RBA setup?

Yes, many Boro tanks are designed to be compatible with RBA bridges or rebuildable coil systems, allowing for a highly customisable vaping setup.

What tools do I need to build coils for an RBA in a Boro tank?

Essential tools include a coil jig or rod, wire cutters, ceramic tweezers, scissors, a resistance metre, and wicking material like organic cotton.

How do I install and maintain a Boro tank in my device?

To install, slide the Boro tank into the device’s compartment, ensure the coil is properly installed, and fill it with e-liquid. Regularly clean the tank by disassembling, rinsing with warm water, and drying thoroughly before reassembly.

What types of e-liquids are suitable for Boro tanks and RBAs?

Both Boro tanks and RBAs are compatible with a wide range of e-liquids. However, using high-quality e-liquids is recommended for optimal performance and longevity.

How do I ensure proper wicking in my RBA within a Boro tank?

Proper wicking involves ensuring the wick fits snugly but not too tightly in the coil, trimming the wick tails appropriately, and positioning them to allow efficient e-liquid flow.

What are the common issues with Boro tanks and RBAs, and how can I fix them?

Common issues include leaking, dry hits, and poor flavour. Fix leaking by checking seals and gaskets, avoid overfilling, and ensure proper coil and wick installation. Resolve dry hits and poor flavour by adjusting wicking technique and coil placement.

What safety precautions should I take when using a Boro tank or RBA?

Understand Ohm’s Law, use appropriate batteries, regularly inspect for wear and damage, check for short circuits, and ensure proper coil resistance to maintain safe operation.

How do I customise my vaping experience with a Boro tank and RBA setup?

Customise by experimenting with different coil builds, wire materials, and wicking techniques in your RBA. Use various atomizers and bridges in your Boro tank to switch between mouth-to-lung (MTL) and direct-lung (DL) vaping styles, adjusting airflow and power settings to suit your preferences.
