So, iv never had a rta and im not big on buying coils as to replace them for my tfv4 is about £15 for 5 so it will be easier for me to just get an RTA, and i thought now would be a good time as that seems to be all that is coming out atm!
im not fussed on the size of the tank but i was just asking if you guys/girls had any recommendations for me please.
Thank you
Jordan :)

Gotcha. I figured a single coil set up might be the simplest to start with, but you could do that on a Velocity style deck too of course. But yeah, check out some vids and reviews and see if it is for you.

Bigger hitters seem to find the airflow on these a little restricted so the Bachelor might not be the one for you, not sure as I find it breaths real well and with the bigger single coil and my twisted wire it produces plenty of flavor and vapor.

But I don't have much to compare it to as it is my first real RTA (I used to use a Kanger Toptank previously).

I'm sure others with their suggestions will chime in as well sooner or later though.

Good luck on your search!

Iv heard good things about the serpent mini, and it might be my second choice as i have two tanks and there both coil tanks and im thinking of replacing both for RTA's,
Griffin 25 iv heard good things but the herakles plus has that weird top down air flow right? hopefully someone will comment about if that air flow is any good or not.
Thank you for all the replies :)

This is actually my Favorite RTA...

3806100-6.jpg


$13.26 SXK Nebula Wine Tank RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - authentic / 5ml / stainless steel + glass / 22mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

But most people don't consider it because it Doesn't have AFC and it Isn't Top Fill.

If you like very open draws, big cloudz and like to throw crazy big builds in your RTA then look into any RTA thats 25mm and has a velocity deck

Augvape Boreas
Aromamizer Supreme
Herakles RTA (they have a v2 deck now)
Griffin 25mm
Gemini 25mm
Smok TF RDTA
Smok TF RTA

list goes on.

My vote goes to either the Supreme or Boreas.

I wouldn't worry to much about the size of the deck. After about 5 coils you will have it down. Actually, a smaller chamber lends to better flavor. Large air content/flow just dilutes the flavor. But, large airflow does lend towards big clouds.
Actually the Boreas has killer flavor

The griffin/gemini to me is an all around safe RTA to purchase if its your first. Easy build deck. Wicking is pretty straight forward. Has all the bells and whistles: JFC, Bottom and Top AFC. Easy to clean and take apart completely.

It doesn't WOW me like some of these other RTAs do but its also a non hassle RTA that I can just throw a quick build and wick with my eyes closed (exaggerating) and expect it to perform the way it should perform.
