Any flavor chaser RTA with these features?

[hypocritelecteur]

I've got a Rose V2 clone. I love how it vapes but it's not very well machined and the deck is kind of hard to work with. It's also really big but has a relatively small capacity. I'd love to find something that is as laser focused on flavor but has a more robust & current feature set.

Top fill or Lemo style fill
Easy build deck
Adjustable airflow that goes from tight to generous. A lot of RBAs seem to either have super tight or massive air flow and only adjust only to small degrees. Haven't found any that can do both. I prefer conservative airflow but not as tight as a kayfun.
Able to work on deck without emptying tank.
More compact
Under $40.

Is there anything out there that can compete with the Rose on flavor? Or is that feature set kind of a tall order?

The top fill and removable deck without emptying features together are only available on a couple rta's... The only one I can think of besides the K4 is the Billow V2.

It looks like the UD Goliath V2 should be a great RTA as well when it comes out.

Maybe I should focus my list a bit more. The main priority is flavor.

I love my Lemo II. I see no difference between it and my KFL+ V2 which had fantastic flavor. The top/side fill is great and it's easy to build.

Man I know I'm gonna get flamed but I do have to hand it to Kanger. If you want a combination of great flavor and simple to build, a Subtank with their RBA installed is still tough to beat. You don't have to use the click stops on the AFC so the airflow slot is adjustable pretty much however you want the airflow. I don't know your experience level so I hope this isn't insulting but the build has a lot to do with flavor. As a starting point I'd go with 26 AWG wire, 3.5 mm wick and get the coil/wick as close to the airhole as you can without getting juice spitting. Also closely spaced but not contact coil. Flash boiled aerosol makes clouds but it's the boiled steam in the vape stream that makes flavor.

The Rose is probably the top flavor atty

Under $40, look at:

HCigar HC Plus. $20 at Froginfog, but I've been unable to source in the US. Beautiful Machining, top fills, but can't access the deck. Can open one or two airholes, but otherwise not very adjustable.

UD Aga t5. Beautiful machining, top fills, I've managed to access the deck, more adjustability on airflow, easy build, $10 at Triangle Vape.

Focloud. Machining is not the best. Bottom fills through chimney. Fantastic flavor. Single or dual coil, one or two airholes, can access deck. $30 at VaporDNA.

Lemo2?

Now the clones:

Squape Reloaded (EHPro is the only good one). Access to deck, easy build, fills like the Rose, a lot of airflow options.

Taifun GT2. Access to deck, easy build, easy fill, airflow options.

Erlkonigin. Excellent flavor, top fills, tight to medium airflow, light and compact even though it holds 6ml. No deck access though some have managed without spilling their juice.

Flash e Vapor v3. Access to deck, fills like Taifun, easy build once you have your mesh feeder wicks installed, tight to open airflow.

Which ehrl clone is decent?
I've tried my friend's Lemo 2, the airflow makes mouth to lung impossible even at the lowest settings.

I am new to rebuildables, so my build probably could be better, but it is decent and tidy. I'm using a 28g 1.5ohm vertical macro coil and it pipes really intense and dense flavor in the Rose. Love how that atty condenses flavor.

I would read the FT reviews for Erlk clones. They don't have the one I have anymore. Authentics are on sale this weekend at Vapor Hub, but are $117 I think? So definitely still more than a clone, but a good discount for the authentic.

Hey Roxy, how u doin ? Is it true, what he said about the Lemo 2 being impossible to MTL ? I was gonna get one to go with my 5 Lemo/Lemo Drops. I gotta MTL you know.

Edit; I run my Lemo's about 1/2 to 3/4 of a turn opened up.

 

[CrazyIvan]

I'm huge on flavor too and I settled on a Taifun GT/2 (clone). I build it with silica and 1 ohm coils and the flavor I get out of it is insane. Plus it's easy to build, fill, maintain, and never leaks. I have 8 of them now and threw away everything else.

 

[hypocritelecteur]

I think maybe a better question is what are the top flavor chasing RTAs. Tight to medium adjustable draw for mouth to lung. Reliable. Everything else is a bonus.

 

[shynsly]

Russian 91 is my daily go too! Taifun GT is the back up.

Good Luck in your Vaping Ventures!

Regrettably, I have yet to find any RTA that matches its RDA counterpart in flavor. That may be because I haven't tried hard enough though. If someone could recommend one, I'd love to give it a try.

how about aqua ?

The aromamizer RDTA has some good features and a unique design that is supposed to be the best for flavor. i still need to pick one up myslef i havent tried it but it looks promising.
