I hate big tanks, which is why i have stayed away from RTA's for a probably a year now.

I was curious if there is something in the market that is small. Im talking like kayfun nano size but performs like a youde goblin / billow / lemo that also has top fill.

I do not want to unscrew my tank everytime and unscrew something and have to carry around a syringe. I would like to be able to top fill kind of like the kayfun v4 but with more performance while being small in size.

Does this product exist?

That and also consider that though you have to unscrew the tank from the mod with the lemo, the silicon plug makes refilling painless and require no tools.

That's one of the main reasons why I'm back on a lemo and another is about to be ordered.

Fogger v6 is top fill and works very well. I've had many high end rebuildable tanks which I've since sold and the 25 dollar fogger v6 is very impressive

Is it better with the leakage than the V5? I used the V5 for all of 30 minutes (since I already had a Lemo that didn't leak). I think that's a problem with top-filling styled tanks no? Unless you're talking about something like the K4 where you close the juice flow while filling. Hopefully, they added some kind of fix for that on the V6....some way to equalize the pressure build up or something...the second air/fill hole didn't seem to matter on the V5. In my experience anyway. On my very first fill, half of my juice was on the counter...before I even got to put the top back on.Interestingly, you would think that using the dropper fill method on the lemo would get it to flood or leak but I haven't had that happen. On occasion, a few drops of condensation drip out of the tip, but that's it.

It doesn't come with one....it comes with two...look in your baggie!

Also, I don't use a syringe...just a normal glass dropper works fine.

People still use syringes? That's not even a valid argument.
15ml needle bottles are like $1 each.
Even if my Orchid had a huge fill hole, I think trying to add 5ml with a dropper would be asinine. It's a 10 second job with a needle bottle and a KF top fill cap. No tools. Tank stays on the mod.

I meant a needle tipped bottle. Not sure why using a dropper is 'asinine' but whatever. It takes just a few seconds, you squirt it in there, it's not like you go drop by drop lol. My point was you don't need to buy anything extra or transfer your juice to a needle-bottle, droppers work fine.

No suggestions to your original question. However, I got the Lemo Drop for my first RTA and I filled it through the screw hole ONCE and I have never removed the screw again. If you just hold the glass tank down on the seal you can easily fill it from the top and screw on the cap. If I should need to drain the Lemo I do the same thing and just pour the juice back into the bottle (though it is usually not much) otherwise I vape on the tank until it is dry and then give it the quick strip, wipe down, coil dry burn or replace and install a fresh wick with most of my juice changes unless they compliment the last one, then I just uncap and fill. Takes me all of 3 minutes maybe. Then after wetting the coil and cotton in the chimney screw on the chimney cap and slip the glass over, then fill tank and cap. Never once had a leak or issue doing it this way and I will never bother with that bottom screw fill again. Oh and I got the silicon plugs and never tried them either. Just to easy to do it from the top instead.

I tried that once, but I couldn't seem to get it filled all the way to the top. Maybe I was doing something wrong....

Zombo you have to maintain downward pressure against the seal with the glass between your fingers the entire time you are filling and screwing on the top cap. Once it is pretty snug then grab the bottom of the tank and give it one last snug up tight to the seal and your should be all set. Key is to keep that pressure held down.
