    Thanks for the extra input :tumble: . I hit the "buy now" button on teh webz and am looking forward to the arrival of the seeping Savour MTL rta. :pop: Im not much good at waiting. I suck at it.:oops:

    Savour has been on my wish list for a while - I just keep getting another doggy instead :rolleyes: So let us know what you think of it. I especially like how it has airflow adjustable up to 2.5mm.

    I'm sure you'll enjoy it. Just didn't want to repeat my opinion. Been in rotation since I've had it, and has been used daily with multiple builds. Never found any seeping, but once again, only running at 22W and wicked with rayon; So YMMV.

    Ive been playing with the Savour MTL RTA for over an hour.
    Easy to install coils and wick on this deck.
    All things considered I think its easier than the Bereserker, which also isnt that hard to work on.
    I think I like side by side posts rather than opposing posts and working with grub screws and Allen keys rather than slot or philips screws and screwdrivers is preferable for me.
    Ive had the Berserker and Sirens2 for about 5months now and the Berserker became one of my favourite tanks.
    I made 2 x 1.37ohm 28g K/A1 coils (accidentally got them identical) and installed one in the Berserker(2ml) and one in the Savour, packed in the cotton, fired them up and kinda over did it on 9mg juice going back and forth comparing the two at various watts and airflow settings. Got a spin and and a far away look sort of thing going for a while.

    I vape flavourless, flavourless has a taste, its subtle but its there and some tanks/coils mute the taste and others deliver it. Both the Berserker and the Savour MTL RTA deliver the taste pretty much as it is in this brief comparison.
    Both have the draw I like, really similar. The Savour feels like it might be a cooler vape at the same settings as the Beserker.
    The DTL center post on the Savour is too loose and the MTL center post might be just a little too tight
    I like that the Berserker has a 4.5ml extension glass and chimney, I like 4ml+ tanks and using the extension on the Berserker cools the vape down, a bit.

    One thing that stands out in this comparison is that I like the Savours drip tip a lot more than the Berserkers, which ever tank I put it on is the better tank!

    I think over all, at this stage(2hrs in) I still prefer the Berserker 24mm over the Savour but either would do what I want done equally as well.

    Comparing the Berserker and Savour tanks over the last hour or two has made me very aware of just how good the Naut2/Ijoy Elf and Innokin Zenith tanks and coils are.
    I can easily replicate a similar vape experience on all of them, taste and draw. :)

    Next up, a taste off. Minty, menthol crispy green apple.

    This is what happens on days off work. Nothing gets done.

    Berserker and Savour perform similarly with flavours. The berserker is a touch ahead though.
    I think the Berserker might be a better tank for me in just about every aspect.
    Bit soon to tell I guess, needs to run through more juice and coils etc.
    The Savour with the 1mm post installed is a tighter draw than the Berserker. Its actually too tight for me.
    I read that originally they were going to go with a 1.5mm post and a 2.5mm post but changed the 1.5mm to a 1mm post.
    I think Im going to drill it out to 1.5mm and see how that works out. I set the berserker airflow to the 1.6mm opening and it is just right for me, to get a similar draw as the Savour I have to set the berserker to 1-1.2mm, its tight!

    Three days in, not digging the Savour MTL RTA all that much.
    No leaks, no seeping. It works fine, easy to install coils and wick but the end result, vaping experience, is a bit meh. Its not a terrible RTA just not rewarding for me in draw, taste, and vapour, which is what its all about.
    I just installed a new coil and wick, refilled with unflavoured nic/vg/dw and will carry on with it for a while longer but I feel like it will end up in the draw of mediocrity.
    A few positives have come out of this comparison, I found out I like my 24mm Berserker as a 2ml tank rather than with the 4.5ml extension installed. Its a better vape experience for me all round as a 2ml tank! Slightly smoother and a bit more intensity in the taste. I also have a renewed respect for the Zenith and Naut2/iJoy Elf tanks and coils. Going between the Savour and other tanks/rta's I have really highlighted for me what I like and what I like less as far as draw, taste and vapour goes. I feel like I have a better idea of the parameters that make up an enjoyable vape for me. So its all good! not a negative experience. :)

    .

    It is very difficult... if not impossible to replicate vertical (BVC) drop in coil vape when using horizontal RTA coil... Lenght, Diameter and position above air flow can greatly affect draw and taste. BVC Nautilus coil airflow will be always much smoother and direct than that on any RTA coil... amount of wicking material in BVC will be also much more consistent. That is why drop in coils are much more replicable.

    In any RTA coil position can greatly affect how good vape is... even 1mm shift in height above AF hole can immensely change smoothness and tightness of draw... the same is true about wicking... too tight wicking will cause less vapor that cause less flavor... with too tight wicking we inhale vapor heavily mixed with excess of air, vapor is less dense and flavorful.

    To get better vape from RTA than drop in coils it is neccesary to master/discover the perfect combination set ups/builds that provide it and in different RTA they can be different.... in addition very often those set ups are very peculiar and border on things that we do not like (seeping/leaking).

    I use different RTAs for over 9 months and I cannot decide which provides the best flavor or draw... iI know that almost each of my half dozen RTAs (Siren, Doggystyle,Dvarw, Savour, Gotank) can provide it... but not always... I can enjoy great flavor in the evening and next day flavor is so ...meh... temperature and other variables (hydration,food,mood) will easily change my perception...

    One more thing. Similarly like your experience with Savor I had my experience with Doggystyle. I bought it and in the first days of using it I could not understand why so many people are so much in love with this tank... but after enlarging the air flow under coil to 2mm and trying different builds I discovered I like it... it does not mean it is my absolute favorite but I know it is capable of providing very good tasty vape... on the other hand tank that I consider very good and use most often (Siren2) is very often considered on this forum as the "...meh...:)

    Right now on right side of my keyboard I have Zelos with Gotank and it provides me with draw that closely resemble N2 and on the left Cuboid mini with Dvarw that is a tiny bit looser (2mm insert) but the flavor is..... more less the same on both...in my hand is my aegis with mtl modified Uwell Crown...draw is as loose as from Dvarw with good flavor but clouds are bigger so I had problem to see what I type... :D:D:D

    almost 2weeks in with the Savour MTL RTA.
    No seeping or leaks so far. Its a pretty good little rta. Im enjoying using it. It doesnt look like it will end up in the draw of mediocrity at this stage.
    Spoke to soon, it does seep. Down through the airflow ring. Its not a lot, maybe thats why I never noticed it before.

    Hasnt done it since. I really like this little rta.
    Things change, even in two months.
    As Ive moved further away from smoking tobacco my draw preference has changed and Im finding that I like a cooler airier draw. The 2.5mm insert with airflow set to two holes open is now my preferred set up with this tank compared to the 1mm with one hole open that I started with on this rta 2months ago.

    I've done this too - moved into a loosey goosey airy mtl draw
