The difference between the old original bottom fill mini RBA and the new top fill mini RBA. The old mini RBA is pictured right with the larger holes. I have tried the top fill mini RBA with the smaller holes. I have only tried with e-cigg oil so far.
Here is the oil bottom fill mini with the completed RBA. It has been working flawlessly so far.

GrowGoddess told me about sub ohm vaping being a game changer for cannabis oil so being a vape enthusiast I had to try it. I ordered the Kangertech Subox Nano Kit on eBay and made some fresh juice while I waited for it to arrive. Just make sure it's authentic. KangerTech vapes come with codes you can check online to verify authenticity. I've heard that even the clones are pretty good but they are made with cheaper materials.
I start out with just under a gram of homemade BHO. This was some Skunk #1 made from buds.
When I make ecannabis oil I winterize the BHO to remove any remaining waxes. This does lower the amount of material but you are left with some very pure and potent shatter.
I use a shot glass in a hot water bath to melt the shatter and mix with a half milliliter of propylene glycol. I use an IR gun to make sure that the water does not go above 120 degrees. You can add more or less PG depending on how strong you want it to be. This tank is rather large so this small batch filled it just under half way. One full gram after winterizing would be enough to fill the tank most of the way after flavoring and hash oil are added. I add two drops of a PG based flavoring per refill.
The result is by far the best vaping experience I've had with an ecig. You want to make sure you use the 0.5 ohm atomizer that comes with the tank and not the 1.5 ohm. By opening the air holes all the way, using the 0.5 ohm coil, and turning the wattage up to 20 or higher you can get bong like hits. Usually two hits is enough for me. There are many other sub ohm tanks but the Subox Nano is one of the smallest box mods and tanks available. It's a great deal for sub ohm vaping. Ecigs are a very convenient and portable way to medicate.

Thanks Nix for presenting your experience and honest opinion! Very much appreciated.
I only know of 2 real vapor enthusiasts when it comes to e-cannabis oil. It would have to be you Nix, and GrowinDad from RIU. I highly respect both of your opinions. Nix, you have the most experience with BHO, and your input is valuable.

Update on the RBA for the bottom and top feed mini.
With my e-cigarette oil there have been no failures, it is working great, but it is just too intense for me with the sub ohm coils. I will have to start building my own coils, which I am happy to do, it will be fun.
Now for the cannabis oil and the RBA: it failed kind of quickly. After taking it apart, cleaning it, and analyzing why it failed. I discovered that I had too much cotton, I should have cut it a lot shorter. I over packed the RBA system and it was too tight. Next time I try it, I will use only half the amount of cotton, maybe even less. Since I use thick oils, over packing the cotton can surely cause dry hits and burn taste, and that is what happened. Other than that, I am really impressed with it. There is potential in it, just need to give it another try.
I have heard one or two people mention the nano leaking. Now, it has leaked once for me, and I use it a lot. When it leaked, I noticed that I left the airflow wide open. Never did that before. Now I know better when it comes to the cannabis oil, from now on I will close the airflow when not in use.
What to try next.....
