Cthulhu Hastur MTL RTA Reviews Thoughts and tips

Extra air inserts available:

This tank looks fantastic to me and the optional air holes are exactly what I would look for in a MTL tank of 2017/18.

I just got it off HG. Pre-order but 30% off . I've hurt my left thumb so I'll just twiddle the good one until it shows.

You won't be disapointed with the Cthulhu Hastur MTL RTA, I've only had it a day and am very impressed. Really easy build, wicking was a doddle, no gurgling, no leaking, and flavour for days. Popped in the smallest air insert, with the AFC wide open, and in my opinion a perfect MTL draw. I did find the AFC difficult to adjust when mounted on the mod, as there is no knurling to grip onto, but just adjusted it off mod to my liking.
Cthulhu are onto a winner here.

I went and bought a second one and also have the additional inserts coming on the slow boat from China so I will update with my take on the inserts but I'm really enjoying this RTA it has replaced my siren v2 and beserker. It is even starting to grow on me in the looks department.

One thing I love about this RTA is it's ability to wick really well let's me use some non traditional MTL builds. I have been using a fused Clapton build and it's vaping amazingly

It sounds pretty nice, and you're kinda making me want one...

Ordered one of these in a black Friday sale for $27. The idea of 3 different ways to control the airflow is the only thing that worries me as I'd imagine it'll take a lot of adjustment to find out what I like. With the Siren V2 it was very straightforward

And now another MTL tank similar to this. Are these working well?

@Sed8op8 since you have both, how does it compare to the Cthulhu MTL? I'm not a MTL style vaper anymore, but not quite a big DL either. I use the Cthulhu almost all the way open, no inserts. Im curious to try the Hastur cause of the deck. The ONLY complaint I have about the Cthulhu, is often when closing down the juice control to refill, it will pull my wicks out a little and it will start leaking. Its great for the first couple of tanks but eventually this will happen.

Was going to order one of these to try, but only US site I could find who had it was element vapes and they wanted me to jump through hoops to order, even though ordered fine from them a month ago, now want last 4 of my social and upload my ID, yea not going to happen.

Anyone know any other US site carrying this one?

 

[Monotremata]

Thats the only one Ive found so far too. Vapor DNA and Eciggity used to carry them, but I dont remember seeing them having anything other than the Cthulhu V2 and the RDAs. Doesn't even look like they have those anymore. I just bought my Cthulhu MTL from Vapor DNA in March this year even.

 

[Nailz]

Well that sucks, tried all the latest MTL tanks, so wanted to give this one a go too, but not prepared to wait weeks for it from China.

No.. you can order from cthulhu but they ship from China too... I got mine from Fasttech...

Out of all the new mtl rta choices, this is the one calling out to me for some reason. I have a really good feeling about the top fill thing and I would like to try different inserts.

Without the inserts you will get a very similar vape as the Cthulhu MTL

Only cthulhu I have is their first release rta. Even though the deck is tiny its still a great mtl vape.

Got one of these a couple of days ago and don't seem to be able to set it up to my liking. Compared to my Siren V2 the flavour isn't as good and throat hit isn't really there. So far I've tried the 2.0 and 1.6mm airflow restrictors. 2.0 was too airy, 1.6 seems about right for me with the afc mostly open. Wicking seems fine too. I'm using same coil(2.5mm 1ohm Kanthal) and eliquid as the Siren. Maybe this is just as good as it gets? Bit disappointing tbh

I want this tank but I just can't pull the trigger... I like everything about it but I'm still having great results with my Berserker.

if you like the siren v2, maybe you need the af restrictor with 3 holes?

I have had both tanks for a couple of weeks now. I find that the Hastur has far more flavor than the Siren V2. I am using the 2.5mm airflow so a lot airier than the V2. I like both tanks but the Siren V2 seems to have a muted flavor even compared to the V1. Other than the juice volume, I think this tank is terrific. Use it every day.
