Vandy vape also has an excellent one (Pyro 4) although it has a TINY fill port on it that I imagine would be difficult to put juice into it. Why Vandy vape made such a small fill port is beyond my comprehension.... Other than that the Pyro 4 is supposed to have very awesome flavor...

I love the Pyro RDTAs and have a few in my stockpile. My favorite RDTA is the WOTOFO "Faris", I've been using them for many years and have quite a few stockpiled. I do have a few Vapefly "Galaxies" in my stash that are single coil but I bought those for my better half in case the factory coils for her clearomizer disappear, never actually used one they're still in their sealed boxes. They have a small build chamber but are built for an adjustable tight draw geared more toward MTL vaping which is her preferred style. I don't know how loose of a draw their maximum setting would provide.

I have never filled my RDTAs through their fill ports. Mine are mounted on Eleaf "Pico squeeze 2" squonk mods so I just squeeze the silicone squonk bottle to fill the tank. This way I can refill my RDTA while driving down the road without even looking, takes about two seconds. Fortunately for me most (but not all) RDTAs come with factory 510 squonk pins, just have to install them.

The way you build and wick an RDTA determines if or how easy it will leak when turned on its side or upside down. Mine have never leaked when tipped over but they rarely get knocked over and usually aren't allowed to stay overturned for long periods of time. The only time I had a leak is when I over filled (over squonked) while not paying attention. I do mix my NETs 60/40 PG/VG so perhaps the viscosity works in my favor. I also fill the wick channels that run through the build deck full of wick, there's no empty space or voids.

    I am not familiar with the Faris, which is sort of rare for me as I tend to keep abreast on most of what is/has been marketed.....

    Yeah the newer Pyro 4 seems like it has an awesome deck from what I am seeing although it is a dual coil atty (the majority of RDTAs are).......... The majority of the air is hitting the coils from the bottom and so I just imagine it would have excellent flavor..... But, I also see there is a boat load of people complaining about the fill port being way too small on the thing..... I am not sure if that would bother me or not. The Pyro 4 is also squonkable. I have come across a couple RTDAs that are not squonk friendly, which makes zero sense to me.

    Both THC and Aspire have single coil RTDAs out right now..... The Artemis and the Kumo....... HellVape has a dual coiler (the Helheim)......... Of course there is also the usual Steam Crave Aromamizer RDTAs ...... Not a whole lot of RDTAs to choose from that are new and current......

    I have watched every single video review of those RTDAs..... When it concerns flavor, the problem with reviews is that I don't always trust what I am being told.... I like video reviews because I can see with my eyes what the deck is engineered like and what the airflow is designed like and make up my mind from there as to whether it may have good flavor or not. Simply because someone says something has good flavor means little to me. After all, some reviewers are getting kickbacks as well as FREE products to keep. I find most reviewers to be fairly accurate but I would rather analyze the inside of the atomizer myself and make my own decision as to if it may have good flavor or not. So, I only watch the video reviews for one single reason and that is in order to be able to see what the inside of the atty's are designed like.

    Yep, I am going to get an RTDA, I just haven't decided which one yet LOL..... I am also going to get another RTA which I have in mind....... I think I am getting shinyitis LOL. :)
