HI Guys
So which one is your favorite RTA.....going to buy one of them.
I am a newbie to RTA and vaping on nautilis mini but to get the coils is PITA.
So switching to RTA....more of a M2L kinda
Finally shortlisted these two (invested GBs of data on researching)

Bachelor.....single coiled....M2L ??????......Little expensive
Bellus....dual/single coiled....available in black color....moreover FT clone saves me some money for eliquids.

Note :I have Evic VTC mini.

They are both excellent RTAs, but both have their learning curves in regards to wicking and control, as with anything new to you. I use both. Both are excellent at MTL, both are top fill, but you get a bit more control with the Bachelor. I still trend to get more leaking when refilling from the Bellus, but I tend to use thinner liquid than many (50/50 or 60/40). The Bachelor has been easier to use, for me, in the long run. More choices in regards to control and build diameters. The Bellus has less room to work with, has a bit more of a learning curve in regards to wicking (depending on your liquid ratio) and a few more parts.

The Bachelor is the steal in regards to build quality and price point.

I owned a Bellus (past tense) and have only seen the Bachelor in pictures, so I will say this:

The Bachelor looks like a breeze to build and wick with a single coil. If it has better airflow than the Bellus, I would opt for the Bachelor unless you prefer dual coil builds. But even then, with the Bellus I felt like the airflow was too restricted for serious duals anyway (IMO).

Based on that limited information - I'd have to go with the EHpro.

Bachelor is relatively new RTA, I have read certain issues on ECF regarding Company EHpro service and spares availability.....only glass tanks on FT. Moreover M2L seems more tricky to achieve on it.
Mind is still following Bellus strongly.....

Sounds like you are looking for confirmation that the bellus is the right tank because all the posts above lean toward the bachelor. The Bellus is a good tank, but nothing fantastic. The bachelor, however, is fantastic. I know I've seen the bachelor listed for $20, so only $7 more than the bellus clone (amazing that such a cheap tank could get cloned, BTW).

To make a decision, I think it boils down to whether you want to do dual coils. If so, go with the bellus. If not, go with the bachelor.

I have the bachelor and I really like it. The preinstalled coil is a bit slow to heat so I changed it. Really easy to wick.Don't think it's out of the box M2l. But you can change that by reducing the airflow under the coil with a piece of teflon tube or similar stuff. Doesn't leak and really good flavour.
At Fasttech it's normally on sale for 23, $something but from 27.-29th there is a coupon code for 10% with BUNNY.

Today I did my first dual coil on the Bellus.
It took several tries before I got it right but not bad.
Previously I had only done single coils on it.
The dual coil does suck up juice faster and drain the battery faster but I had to try it.

I have not tried the Bachelor so cannot comment on it.
But if you want the ability to do dual coils try the Bellus.
