My fave is Silverplay nano and use Rayon wicking.
To many to list, Latley though I been liking the tsunami in both sizes 22 and 24, with dual 26/32 SS claptons 3.0 id at .18-.25 0hms, with either cotton bacon or muji, or whatever I grab. Have a big box of rayon I am trying to use up too. but yeah I think in all honesty that these are simple cloud chasers that can have flavor if you build it right and cut off some airflow.
Favorite is the Merlin with a simple 26 awg 1.2 ohm coil wicked with Japanese cotton, but that's because I got it yesterday. My favorite the day before was my Serpent mini with a 1.4 ohm 28 awg Kanthal coil (what a pain to catch the thin legs on that) also with Japanese cotton. And before that arrived last Monday my favorite was a Kaubuki, but that's not an rta and I don't have a rebuildable for nautilus stuff.
Yes, there is a pattern to my method of selection. However, the Merlin really is great, and the Serpent mini has great flavor as well.

Aromamizer 6ml.....I have 6.
Been using the Merlin here in the house good bit too. All wicked with Muji cotton

Mine is my Merkava followed by my Squapes and then my Kayfun V5. I use Muji cotton
Kayfun Lite-Plus V2 clone by EHPro (all I ever use anymore)
8 wraps of Kanthal 27 gauge wire around a 2.8mm rod = 1.3 ohm single coil
Wick is your standard Japanese cotton
For normal mouth to lung vaping, I use 12 to 13 watts of power

BTW ... My last 2 atomizer failures were a Lemo 2 and a Protank 4 ... They may be good for direct lung hits, but NOT for mouth to lung vaping ... They now reside in my desk drawer

My KS RTA is still my all time favorite. It is the best flavor MTL tank I've owned. I think most would find it's assembly and build outdated, but it's performance still makes the effort worth it for me.
The Merlin is running a very close second. Not much for me to fault on this one. Ticks all the boxes with top fill, juice and air flow control, ability to remove the base without draining the tank, easy build and wicking, very customizable airflow, and top-notch flavor.

I love the Merlin even though all 3 seep on me. My second is a frankenRTA that I have combining a nebula wine, tube rta and kayfun quartz kit. The tube is blocked off to have a 2.4ml air hole just like the Merlin. Excellent flavor from both. My backups are kayfun monsters.
It's a good flavor tank for a loose MTL draw, and nice looking too. It's pretty wheezy sounding for restricted lung hits (a common concern) Many had issues with first-run Wine tanks having the o-rings stick to the glass out of the box. Mine was this way. And when I finally decided to separate it, the glass shattered. It's as if the the tank was glued to the o-rings. (shards of glass were actually still dangling from the broken o-rings) I read later production may not have had this problem?
For the price, you can't go to wrong with the Wine, but you won't be shelving your Merlins over it. If you throw a Wine in the cart, add an extra glass or two to save the hassle, in case yours arrives stuck.
I had to block the center airhole to make it useable. Used a grommet from a protank/aerotank coil. Brings it down to exactly the same airflow as the Merlin with its blocker in. Without the blocker, it is fairly noisy. I also got a weird airflow issue on the first one that I bought. Once I put the blocker in, it fixed both problems. Well worth buying for under $13.
I agree with buying extra glass. It is fairly fragile.

Why did they close the SXK Nebula Wine Tank thread?
I still use my black one all the time, love that little tank, but unfortunately they have discontinued the black version. I need to pick up a silver version before vapocalypse or it also gets discontinued. I never had issues with mine, but I did break the glass once, dropping it on a stone tile floor - Status
