Hey all,
I've started with a subtank mini and there's nothing easier to build, I still use it.
I always was a mouth-to-lung smoker (in fact like many who smoke that way, I never knew you could smoke another way until I started vaping and saw all this talk about "direct lung hit") and my very first gear was the subtank mini. I set the airflow on minimum, it's got a tight pull, great flavor with rayon, it's really perfect for me.
But I did not know that until I decided to get a real RTA a bit later. Fast forward a couple month, and I've now got a Billow, a Griffin, a Lemo 2 and some kind of RDA called the Mutation V3.
None of those is even close to what I am looking for - even the Lemo that I got because it's single coil doesn't have that constricted mouth-to-lung hit I am after. In fact, I make a point to use them all because it cost me so much, but I hate them all and I'm only happy when I use my subtank.
Oh yeah... except the RDA, I just got it because I thought I had to try a dripper at some point - ultimate flavor, they say!- , then realized, oh wait, I bet dripping means direct inhale only...?
The Billow is a dual-coil setup made for direct lung hits. You can close the airflow and pretend to use it otherwise, but it gets hot fast. It's very easy to wick though, it's a shame.
The Griffin is an absolute biatch to wick at my level, is also a @#$ dual coil only (I bought it because I thought you could plug something into the deck to make it single coil), needs 45w to produce decent cloud of vapor with the coils I'm feeding it, and really, really has no flavor whatsoever if you inhale indirectly. And this is from someone who's only using rayon to wick now.
The Lemo 2 is ok. I can somewhat bring the airflow to what I like, but not quite. The flavor is decent-ish. The way you need to make the coils for it is somewhat ......ed (twisting the legs sideways...?) and I still haven't found a way to clean its chamber if it leaks without having to remove the wick entirely.
I was wondering if someone here might have the answer for me - is there any RTA that would do what I'm after?
Thanks!
