my vote goes to the lemo/ lemo drop. its just to damn easy to work with and produces a consistent great vape.
the subtank mini and delta 2 are to be just as good, but i haven't used them.

the goblin is great too, but can be alittle hard to work with until you get use to wicking it.

i haven't used the rose v2. i would like to get one soon. it seem like its a great tank that people seem to push to the side/ ignore . which is a sham, as i have heard nothing but good things about it.

There are a lot of great tanks that aren't popular among the masses, but should be, like the Rose. Sometimes its the price, but not always (think Kayfun 4). Ever since discovering the Rose in September, I've been seeking out these lessor knowns, and have found some wonderful RTAs. Not all of them are expensive. My new darling is the Youde Aga-t7. I paid a whole $20 for it, and I love it. I've also bought some higher priced authentics used, and saved money that way. And of course, there are clones if you're not opposed to them.

The Lemo was a late bloomer. I bought it the day after it was released. Two months later it suddenly became the most popular thing out there.

For a true RTA, the Goblin looks awesome (and everyone seems to love it). It basically looks like an improved Billow/Orchid with more airflow. Don't own one, but they are not expensive and look great. Definitely need to pick one up myself.

If you want a sub-ohm clearo that has an RBA section, go with the Subtank Mini. About as much vapor as the Atlantis, but with better flavor. Comes with an RTA section so you can build your own coils. It vapes every bit as good as most RTA's.

If you want a tight draw for flavor, go with the Lemo. It's basically a Kayfun with adjustable airflow and is cheaper.

from what i see i would say the billow is the improvement on the goblin and the lemo is an open airy draw

You can close the airflow on the Lemo as tight as you want it. So if you're running single coil, and don't need or want big airflow, no problem.

yes, im just talking to the fact that everyone calls it a tight draw, evena couple reviews and people state "its not for lung hitters" and in these cases there must be a problem such as machine flakes in the airflow channel or some such, cause the little guy can really breath

Yeah, I agree. I think its really airy all the way open. I keep it about half closed. Good flavor for me, not too open, not too tight.

Havent seen any excess metal flakes that would restrict airflow. All parts on Lemo are free and clear of such flakes from my observation. And you can always use a small metal file and shave off the metal excess if there are any.

Getting any spare parts from eLeaf is nearly impossible as they dont reply to emails. 3 month and 5 emails later and i have yet to hear back from them.

You're right about that :( I asked them to at least do a spares kit of screws, o rings, gaskets for the glass and those fill plugs. Mine never came with any of the fill plugs. I've emailed a few times and they've never responded. Sad I can get spare parts for clones, but not the Lemo.

Here's a link to the o-ring replacements. That website also has the tank and drip tip replacement. If you're looking for screws, I'm sure you can find a replacement at any hardware store.
