Experienced restricted DTL/loose MTL-ers, what setups do you enjoy?

[Boiller]

I haven't been vaping long and most of the time has been on big DTL RTAs (Zeus single/dual, Smok Big Baby Beast, OBS Engine Mini) on a Voopoo Drag, mostly with 70/30 juice.

Recently I acquired a JAC Vapour Series-B DNA75 and I've been vaping on a Cthulhu Hastur 24mm version, with the 2mm airflow tightener and I've been enjoying it immensely. Fully open AFC for DTL, barely open for loose MTL. It's a much stealthier and enjoyable experience than before and I want to "specialize" in this way of vaping.

So, I'm looking for any and all kinds of input to improve this style of vaping.

RTAs: I'd love to find a good RTA that sits flush on the JAC, but the only 25mm I can find is the original Siren? Are there any new or old RTAs at 25mm you'd recommend? Open to all and any suggestions (22-25mm, clones or originals, new or old - I find the community strives on shinyitus, are there any old gems floating around?)

Juice: I only know 70/30 ratio juice, would I enjoy more balanced ratios? I'm not particularly looking for throat hit, I like smooth and warm. Usually icy flavors. I'm also considering buying unflavored base, try that and maybe later start adding some very light flavorings (mostly menthol or so).

Thanks!

Typically you shouldn't be worrying about the 'step' between an atty and the mod. That 'breaking facade' actually makes it look cooler.

What really matters is the vape quality you derive out of the combo. If your JAC and the Cthulhu makes for a fine vape ~ enjoy the satisfaction, forget about the looks!

And btw, this one is a fantastic 'restricted' lung draw atty:

Squape e-motion, skyline, hurricane 1.3....theyre all very good rtas for restricted lung or loose mtl.

Yeah, I agree with you. Just being nitpicky as the JAC has an extended lip purposefully for 25mm and doesn't look as good as a tube with smaller tanks

@Asbestos4004 thank you for your suggestions, I'll look into these

Hmm...

There's also any of the Taifun GT family. From the GT 1 through the GT 4, they're all fantastic .

That is what I call "hybrid" or "Chimera" style vaping and is what I do exclusively. Currently I am doing this with a Wotofo Serpent SMM RTA. Great little single coil rebuildable tank that is 24.2mm diameter and should look good on your JAC. I did switch out the drip tip to one with a narrower bore though.

Yeah, I guess you'd be looking for a setup kinda restricted on a more sub0hm designed RTA or a fairly airy MTL RTA. IDK if you've considered the Ares, that can be non-restrictive on the right airflow setting, but it's a 24 mm RTA. It's really fairly adjustable. I am a fan of the Siren V2 with the airflow wide open, but many folks have complained of flavor with this RTA (although it's one of my favorites, at the right wattage and with the right airflow).

If you want to go the other direction where you have an RTA that is set up more for DL, but restricting it some, I am sure there are good options, but I am not the person to tell you what they are (best of luck!)

Here’s a picture of the Ares on the Jac Sandstorm. I think it looks pretty good!

My wife loves her Ares tanks but they are very tight, true MTL tanks. Even at fully open AF would NOT be considered a "loose MTL" or a "restricted DTL" which is what OP is after.

Dvarw tank in its many forms - superb MTL with optional airflow adaptors. I cannot fault the two clone versions i bought for MTL. Due to the top filling these may even surpass the Doggystyle for me.

Just FYI here is my SMM on my HCigar VT75D. As you can see, I changed to a much smaller tip (it came with a really short wide bore tip), and I closed the AFC down about 80% and MTL is great like that.The lighting in this pic doesn't do it justice.

Thank you guys for the discussion, you have given me lots of suggestions to investigate!

@Boiller, the original Boreas rta can still be found at gearbest.
Its 25 mm and holds 8mls, nice pkg, two build decks and extras.
It has an afc ring from 1-4 openings. I started on 2 open and worked into 3 open and enjoyed a restricted dtl draw for 2+yrs with this tank. Generally with a .33 build ss26g 3.5id with 8 wraps dual coil around 40 watts/400f.
Only stopped using it because I wanted a squonker.
