For me its Taifun GT V2
$20.02 HOTCIG GT-S V2 RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer (5.0mL) - stainless steel + matte glass / 23mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Very easy to fill, to rebuild. I fill it with wide mouth bottle.
Shielded glass, not easy to break. I dropped once my mod with Taifun on cement staircase, it went down bouncing, and survived. No damage at all.
After I learned proper wicking it never leaked (several months already), not a single drop.
But: I use kanthal, 1.4 ohm, 12-14W. For these setting I think it is the best tank.

I actually had a Taifun gt2. Took one look at and it didn't suit mt. I didn't like having the sick tails that high OCC the base.

I'm a big fan of the GP Heron (current incarnation is the v2). While it now has the ability of being a pure RTA build, I like it in it's original use (foam filler-like material in the tank which suspends the liquid).

It operates like a dripper (with a tank) or an RTA without its susceptibility to air pressure or vacuum changes.

It takes a little bit of tinkering to figure out how much filler to use with various viscosities of liquid, but you're good to go after that.

Flavor changes are a bit more involved (unless you don't mind mixing). Availability is limited and the cost is not insignificant. I just got a new version in several days ago and there are preorder lists available for the next release.

This has been my all-day, general-purpose vaping device for the last two years.

Edit: I generally am a flavor-chaser and prefer to vape the mouth-to-lung. The v1.5 and v2 versions of the Heron have larger possible airflow ports but still is not what I would consider wide-open. My subtank mini feels really airy (and loud) when fully opened but I don't like that anyway.

I think then you will get ever favorite tank someone is currently using to the vape style that suits their needs and taste.
which by the way is just like looking at E_Bay.
Come on Man ,,, everybody is different
Again, another asinine comment that is of no use to anybody. I'm interested in hearing about what other are enjoying at the moment, as long as it meets the criteria of my question. If there is some special context or reasoning behind a very specific sort of product, then that person might feel the need to elaborate. If they don't, oh well I'll look it up and determine whether or not it suits me. There is a substantial difference between what most of us are out for anyway. Some prefer mouth to lung and more flavor, while others like big clouds, and most fall somewhere in between. There are some people who do things that are a bit more exotic, but again, we can all deduce that without my need to further clarify what it is that I'm asking.

IMO the Cthulhu V2 would be they way to go for the OP :) You get a truly up to date tank with a lot of good options! The choice to use a Kay-Fun style single coil deck, If thats all you want :) It also don't hurt, to have the velocity style deck on hand for future consideration :)
Thanks for the reccomendation. This is one of a few that I've been most apt to buy lately. The only thing that turned me off was that I saw a lot of complaints about quality control with it. Perhaps they've worked out the kinks by now.

Sorry you didn't like My comment< Some folks don't get a snarky note. Or sarcasm.
But really?
Continue Spoon Feeding, Sub tank mini, works well all criteria check marked. TFV4 some criteria boxes checked.

I preordered mine and have had it for a while now :) I will admit at first it was a bit frustrating. Not because of quality control issues, But the sheer overly complicated design. It took me a bit to figure out, the juice control and the ring around the wicks was a bit of a pain. I could see why some would be frustrated and post bad things about it.
Once I figured it all out BAM! it works like a charm! My advise would be a little patient with it at first, watch a lot of videos on it and you will love it I'm sure :) It works excellent with the single coil deck and IMO even better with the Velocity deck :)
BTW I only have one other atty IMO is as good or a little better, an aromamizer :) from your first post I don't think it's for you :)
It'a a dual coil straight lung hitter,That don't work as good as a single coil atty.

Thanks for the advice, and for sharing your experience. I think that all of these tanks should release single coil decks honestly. I like new innovative features, but I am happy with a single coil for the most part. I see no reason to burn through more juice and battery power on a day to day basis.

Plus it's twice the work.

If you're a newbie to building, its always helpful to buy a tank where you can access the deck without draining the juice.

Aside from the Bellus look at:

Kayfun 4
Taifun GT2
eXpromizer
One of the fluff tanks (Prometey, older Heron or Spheroid)
Focloud
One of the new gennyish types like Fodi, or Nectar (but, they may not lay down without some leaking)

Thanks for the reccomendations. I am not new to building though, as I've been making my own coils for a few years now. But even for an experienced builder, it is preferable to not have to drain the juice in order to rebuild.

SXK Squape Rs is pretty good and I have and many others, but flavor has me liking the Mini Buddha. Expromizer, KFL+, G-Mimi, TF-GT2, Lemo, UD ATA 5, Aqua V2, all have good qualities. The request could have had more clarity. Anyway, there are many that are liked and meet the criteria.

One of the joys of the hobby is to seek out, search for and read reviews and evaluate. I don't think I have ever asked the forum. To many "different" people. :)

There are plenty single coil RTA's.

goblin Mini
Kayfun lite plus
kayfun Monster
SXK nebula wine

Then there are a host of rbas for tanks such as the Subtank mini, egrip, tfv4, and others.

I don't like dual coils so i rock my silverplay nano with a single coil abd plug tge unused juice wells with cotton.
