Looking for one hand refillable RTA

[shprota]

The original is hard to find, but a GP heron V2/Style is a great MTL, single coil, bottom fill tank.
The deck is dead easy to build and the flavour is IMO fantastic.

Yes, this used to be a decent tank but it's pretty old now and has some flaws that are important for me. For instance, it is not transparent and my dad will burn the cotton just as soon as it gets dry. Also, it is not too easy to re-wick IMO. I still have some Taifuns from the old days. They look pretty much the same but have transparent tanks. Also, they are prone to dry hits.

Surprisingly it's not true. Bottom fill tanks where you can unscrew the deck and fill the tank are very easy to fill with one hand having an atomizer stand like this:

You just put the tank upside-down into the stand and unscrew the base.

My previous post said my first suggestion. But the best bottom fill device I have that you can easily find, is the Goblin mini. The only thing I don't like about it, is it uses a non-standard drip tip, and relies on a drip tip adapter to fit standard 510 drip tips. It is, however, one of my best flavor tanks. I haven't used mine since I got the Smok twister, but I plan on getting those back into use tonight or tomorrow. The refill screw is flat head, which might pose a problem for single handed unscrewing, but if you can find a phillips head that fits, I'm sure it would make it a lot easier. I also found that the glass drip tips break if dropped, so If you do decide to use the glass drip tips, order extras just in case. The airflow is fairly open, which may not be suited for you, and I find even in the fully closed position, the airflow barely borders the high side of MTL hits.

Just thought I'd give that a mention.

Fair play. Different strokes...

Best of luck in your search.

Grunch: What about one of the many new tanks that has the slide open tops like the ijoy captain rta? I know there are quite a few other recent tanks with similar top fills, and even some push button locking caps with a hinge, but some of those I am thinking of may be sub tanks and not rta.

My dad is a chain vaper but he only has one hand working, so for now I had to stick with Billow V2. These are good but not the best flavor or MTL.
The problem is that most recent products use top fill and are pretty hard to refill with one hand. With the Billow it is a breeze - the grip is tight and you can keep the deck a bit loose without leaking.
So I’m looking for a recommendation on a decent RTA that can easily be refilled using only one hand and gives good MTL and flavor.
Thanks!

Welcome and glad you joined.
Good luck with your answers.

Ok, I received the OBS Mini Engine today. So far so good. MTL is kind of ok, especially with standard delrin 510 drip tip. Flavor is like average but will do. I really can open it with one hand with some effort. Probably the top cap will loose a bit over time. Will test this on my dad next weekend.
Thanks all of you again for suggestions.

Flavor is much better on Engine Nano and it holds 5ml. One of mine has a looser fill ring. Would be happy to let your father have it.

Now there's an interesting question. Never heard that one before. Unfortunately I can't help with the answer. My arthritis is so bad I can barely open them with 2 hands. But welcome to the board anyway.
