RTA idea?

[CloudyWithChanceOfVape]

Okay, so i'm a dripper...... I only tried one RTA and it was an orchid. I don't like using it a lot because it is a "pressurized" tank, so if I take the top off to fill the tank and tighten it down, it pushes the juice out of the airflow holes. I HATE FILLING IT FROM THE BOTTOM HOLE!!!!!!! It takes 2 freaking years to fill it up and ain't nobody in my line of work got time for that!

Does anyone have a recommendation for an RTA that I can fill from the top easily, that IS an RTA. I will never buy a coil at a store, I prefer to make my own. Yes I test, Yes I sub-ohm, Yes I know all about battery safety, I just know absolutely nothing about RTA's.

Needs:
"Airy" airflow option. Can be adjustable but not necessary.
Top Fill
Single OR Dual option

AAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDD......... GO.

Lemo II. It's absolutely the best.

 

[CloudyWithChanceOfVape]

I heard it had a tight lung draw. Im a wide-bore dripper guy. (Dark Horse, .2 ohm, dual coil, wide open airflow). I can accept tighter draw, but I couldn't handle a tight cig-alike draw.

Please tell me more about this "Lemo II" I am interested. lol

I like the Lemo 2 Its easy to fill I had to mess with mine I dropped it and the spacer that connects the positive stem to the 510 pin came lose I ended up shaving down a piece of a delrin DT base to fix it. I have a Cthulhu I like it better than the Lemo 2 so far except I prefer the way the Lemo 2 fills over the Cthulhu both are fairly easy to wick and dont leak once you have a good system down.

Lemo 2 airflow is definitely NOT tight.

Compared to a wide open dripper yes...but for a tank it's pretty open (and adjustable)

I agree with you on the pressurized tank pita system, I progressed to the Taifuns over the last couple years. Easy filling, rebuilding is easy, and great flavor. However mine are the original GTs and they are kind of tight draw apparatuses. I hear the newer versions might be airier and possiby adjustible,

For a Kayfun style tank, check out the 528 Custom Vapes Monster V2. It's a RTA that hits like a dripper.

Lemo 2 is awesome. Easy build deck. Nice size deck too. When I first got it...it leaked like a b$&#h...but now I know it was user error because I was filling it wrong. Now it is easy and quick. For those of you that are having trouble filling here is how. Take the tank off your mod(not really nessasary but I do for convenience). Close the bottom air flow all the way. Open fill port. Lay the tank on its side with the fill port facing up(obviously). Fill and then close the fill port. Turn the tank back upright. Open the air flow control back up. Not a drop lost. Tank hits great, flavor and vapor production awesome! I would definitely recommend this tank!

You can buy a kayfun top fill cap for the Orchid for $5 from FT.

Or just top fill it as it is. Cover the airholes, fill, screw on top cap, but flip the atty for the last half turn. Uncover airholes, and hold inverted for about 20s.

+1 on the C'thulhu. I've yet to build mine to how I like it, couldn't get my build to fit since I'm used to 3mm and drippers, but when I used the stock coils it worked great. So, even though I haven't found a build that works for me I know this can handle it. Top fill, big air flow, dual coils, bottom fill if you feel like it, and I found it really easy to wick on my first try. Can go 50+ watts easily according to the Smog website and a member here posted on a thread where he's been able to take it to 90 watts.

How does one go about top filling a bell cap? Serious question, as I have a couple 3.1s with buggered fill holes that I'd like to put bell caps on.

I put some 24 gauge contact dual coils 5 wrap 2mm screw driver 1.9 Ohms it made awesome clouds ok flavor but was to hot! Im as we speak vaping 28 gauge 5 wrap no contact dual coils same 2mm screw driver .47 Way way more flavor good vapor.
This tank will vape Max VG with no issues you have to unlike any other tank put some cotton in the wick holes if you dont it will gurgle and flood.

To be honest, not a clue. My buddy let me try his out and it just hit perfectly. I'm not sure about all of the intricacies, but i know that it comes with the bell cap and 2 other tank sleeves

 

[CloudyWithChanceOfVape]

I am about to try this right now lol. I just rebuilt coils for it because I havent used it in like 3 months and I thought the coils looked "bad", so now I am about to try this method and see how that goes.

I hate the juice capacity on it, but I deal with it.

ALSO, does the Kayfun top-fill cap make it "unpressurized" or just be able to top fill?

 

[roxynoodle]

Just able to top fill. You still have to block the airholes, flip, etc, but its convenient compared to bottom filling it.

You can't top fill any bell caps, sorry.

I top fill a lot of my attys the way I described.

 

[CloudyWithChanceOfVape]

Hell, the stupid fill hole on the bottom of the orchid is BS. Even with my needle tip, when I try to squeeze, it oozes out onto my fingers and bubbles up off the fill hole. It's a POS clone I suppose....

 

[CloudyWithChanceOfVape]

Any certain reason for the 20 second delay? I'm just curious.

 

[roxynoodle]

It allows the juice to come to the top (which is now on the bottom), and not be in the chamber.

$30.91 Heavy Taste Mod Tank 2-in-1 Rebuildable Clearomizer - 3.5ml / 1.5ohm / stainless steel + glass tank at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I like this tank.
wide open it's 3 3mm holes; and lowest is 3 1mm holes;
very airy at the widest airflow; best airflow tank I've seen so far.
It's quite pricey though;
comes with an rba head

flash evapor is another one to look at.
There was a glass edition last time I checked;


oh - and filling from the bottom for those kayfun types is a whole lot easier if you happen to have a needlebottle.

 

[CloudyWithChanceOfVape]

Not bad, I like the look of that one. $30.91 is PRICEY for sure from FT. Most items there are under a $20 bill lol. I would probably just go for the Kanger Tank that is rebuildable if I wanted to spend $30.

The Lemo II is like $20-$25 so it is close to my price range.
