I always thought this atty style was a juice boiler. All your juice sitting in the tank laying on the wall of the coil chamber discoloring and darkening flavor. Better technology has eradicated this in other attys.

I assume you mean RDTA is a better choice.
But RDTA generally means a long way for the juice to travel to the coil from its deposit that causes 2 disadvantages compare to RTA:
1. It is more prune to dry hit (especially if you have a long inhale) relative to RTA
2. Every re-wick causes more waste of e-juice (for the long cottons you are discarding), this facotr become very obvious if one use e-juice that is gunk prune.

RDTA is old tech not sure what the draw is to them. It makes no sense to fight to get your liquid to go up instead of follow the path of least resistance which is down. I have many gennys and even a Avocado. The Avocado is ok but I do not like having to pay attention to tilting the right way at high wattage to make sure there is no dry hit.

RTA is the best way IMO. And with the new decks we use with large juice channels it just makes more sense. I am sure this new Merlin has better flavor with the shorter chimney and the overall design is pretty nice.

This is exactly my thinking, too, but I guess there are many that started with genny-style RTAs and it's what they know/like. All of my mods/tanks have to be portable and those styles of tanks won't survive in my purse/pocket. I'm new to building, as well, so I want the easiest, leak-free RTA (single coil is preferable) build possible. Unlike many, I vape because I like to smoke and vaping is the least unhealthy way to maintain that habit. I'm not looking for it to turn into a hobby, because I've got enough responsibilities fighting for my time. Not to mention, my husband is convinced (no matter what I say or prove to him :facepalm:) that vaping is far worse than smoking. The last thing I want to do is give him any more ammunition to b!tch about it. :mad:

Yes. I'm just saying I prefer my juice to not sit around a hot chimney before it gets absorbed by my wicks. Heated juice tastes lousy. It also affects the nicotine. The Avocado style setup gets the juice off the hot chimney. The genny tilt is a small consolation. I guess I'm just a top coil tank fan.

I have not tried it yet but I was thinking about adding some mesh tubes in the tank of my Avocado to wick the juice up to the deck and then just lay the cotton wicks on top of the holes. Maybe it will eliminate the need for the genny tilt?
