8 reasons not to buy a decent RTA

[hiclass]

Exo gets a lot of joy around here, don't hear any complaints. Has a fan base, I'm sure you can find a thread with search.

Even though I have bought both Silver and Black Exo rta and as of this writing, am using them daily, but by reason 4., 5. and 6., Exo RTA is far from perfect.

My Silver Exo seeps from both side and bottom, my Black Exo always like to split itself in the mid when I try to unscrew its top cap and it is a real pain in the Assssss to adjust their AFC after plugging them to my mod.

+for Nano.

By reason 2. and 3. Nano is not perfect.

Did you get new Minikin yet?
Nano is great, looking forward to the Zeus.

Yes, I got a pink one. I don't love it as much as the purple because it doesn't have the rubberized finish - it is colored stainless steel. That said, it is still one of the more comfortable mods in my hand I have ever owned and I don't regret the purchase. It looks great with the rainbow Nano, so all is well. Thanks for asking.

Nano holds more than 4 ML over 5 ml

1. If it doesn't offer a single coil deck, don't buy.
I could really care less. I don't use single coil.
2. If it can't easily let you plug a big (say 3.5/4mm) coil on its deck, don't buy.
I don't care again. I mostly use 3mm id coils.
3. If it can only hold less than 4ml, don't buy
Sometimes a low profile tank suits a purpose.
4. If e-juice seeps from its side or at the bottom, don't buy.
If it's wicked properly it shouldn't leak or seep.
5. If to unscrew its top cap can sometimes unscrew its chamber or base instead, don't buy.
If that happens it's user error.
6. If it is not easy to adjust its AFC, don't buy.
Don't care. I use everything wide open.
7. If it has a JFC but is not easy to adjust it, don't buy.
Don't care. I never shut jfc anyway.
8. If you can't buy replacement glass for its tank nor its replacement o-ring, don't buy.
Glass might be difficult for some but o-rings are always available.

If you come across a tank that doesn't have any of the 8 mentioned problems, buy a dozen of them... quickly.

This is obviously a bad joke of a thread.

Nano holds 5ml and can accommodate a 3.5 id coil.

Bad joke or no, I like the thread. Love a single coil rta.

Yes, it does!!!! Major plus and it NEVER leaks! I also love my FreeMax FireLukes but, for me, the RTA deck is tricky. It is perfect until I need to refill, then I sometimes get a leak. I think I finally figured out that it is the pin, so I tighten the screw just a little and that seems to solve the problem.

Clarification - not the pin, per se, just that unscrewing the top to refill can loosen the bottom. Tightening the screw seems to have solved that problem.

So do I. I have no use for dual coil

Hardly...
Only with great effort and can have side effect (eating juice).

I was thinking may be my reason 8. is not good because replacement parts will only appear in the market quite sometime after a new tank is launched. So, it is not possible to predict whether they will be in the market in the early days after a tank is launched...

May be reason 8. should be replaced by something like:
8. If it takes a great effort to position your coil correctly or wick it correctly otherwise you get dry hits or bad flavor quality, don't buy.

If that is the case, both Nano and Reload will have a +1 in the reasons not to buy...

Hitting the power button on any tank will eat juice and nano easily holds over 4 ml

The point I was making is what is perfect for one might not be perfect for another. Alot of people only use single coils because that is what they like. That's great. Some people like MTL RTAs. That's great too. Some peopke like large capacity tanks and some people like compact smaller tanks. Also excellent. It's all about personal preference and what works for each individual.

All tanks eat juice. You are in the driver's seat with a rta. You choose coil and wick. You decide what juice, watts, and how often you take a hit.

I agree 100%. Apologies for misunderstanding your intent.

Man... by (eating juice)

I mean you will end up eating some juice directly instead of sucking its vapor.

No problem. My wife loves her Engine. It's all she will use. I build it for her preferences. There are times I really like my Engine. There are times I don't. My favorite RTA hands down is the OBS Crius Plus w/ quad coil deck. At this point in time I'm really enjoying RDTAs and RDAs more than RTAs. Diferent strokes for different folks.

Not true. Like any other rta, wicking is the key. I no longer get juice in my mouth because I learned how to wick my rta.

Here is the updated version of the reason list:
1. If it doesn't offer a single coil deck, don't buy.
2. If it can't easily let you plug a big (say 3.5/4mm) coil on its deck, don't buy.
3. If it can only hold less than 4ml, don't buy
4. If e-juice seeps from its side or at the bottom, don't buy.
5. If to unscrew its top cap can sometimes unscrew its chamber or base instead, don't buy.
6. If it is not easy to adjust its AFC, don't buy.
7. If it has a JFC but is not easy to adjust it, don't buy.
8. If it is hard to position your coil or wick it correctly for a good vaping quality, don't buy.

For me, by reason 3. and 8. Nano is imperfect.

So basically you shouldn't ever buy an RTA.

Except it does hold more the 4 ml easily and it isn't hard to position a coil to get a good vape.
