I need some opinions on a new RTA. I'm currently running a Kanger Subtank, and while I don't hate it, its gotta go. I originally bought it because I started with the disposable OCC coils, but after switching to the RTA and building on it for a while, I've just really grown to dislike the deck, juice channels way too small, no post holes, ect.

This is what I'm looking for, getting all of these is probably wishful thinking.

Good adjustable airflow (one of the things that is actually excellent on the subtank)
Nice big deck, dual coil a plus
Top fill would be a plus
Something that can handle more than 15 or 20 watts without dry burning
No leaking, this drives me insane

I was thinking about just surrendering and dropping the cash on a kayfun v4, but the design just seems to over engineered and a hassle.

Can you guys point me in the right direction?

I went from kanger subs to this new goblin mini thats out. But it has some issues. The flavor is my best to date though and you need a little more power to get that(than the subs). I like it very much! Check the reviews here. I also ordered the goliath v2. Its flavor is supposed to be great. The Lemo v2 may be good but I haven't tried it. There is a few other new ones out. I will check the reviews for awhile before I buy. Good luck. Only been here a few months so I suggest going with the vets conclusions.

The Cthulhu might be a good choice. There's a new v2 coming out that has both single and dual decks. I have the v1 and find it the easiest to coil of all my dual coil decks.

Less airflow but the Epoch D1 from EHPro is a pretty awesome tank. Offset coils make coiling very easy, and so is the wicking. And you can get the deck out without emptying the juice.

I love the Aqua v2 and SE as well. The SE is top fill, but Lost Vape has the v2 on clearance.

I have. Just the goblin mini. Been dumping ejuice when it's low so I have something to work on. I ordered 2 atty's from MVS and 3 clones from fastech. I enjoy doing something since I am not working. Wish I had 20 more. Actually 5 atty's with larger post holes and a single coil layout would be great. That way 2,3,4 wire builds could be done, trying something new. Thanks for info on the Cthulhu and those others Aqua v2 ect.. Stayed up all night rebuiding the mini and watching reviews on utube. Including Rip's talk on dna200. Sounds Cool. Thanks again

I have a FT Aqua V2 clone, no leaks. Not a big fan of the airflow, though, so I take a few drags to change things up from the STM. I heard some people complaining about the Cthulhu complexity (lots of parts).. Anything to those rumblings? Also heard that the V2 is even more complex?

I don't think its complex. Takes a tad more to assemble than some tanks due to having glass and top filling. Its basically done the same way as the kayfun 4.

We haven't yet seen (last I knew) the final version of the Cthulhu v2. All I know is Velocity type deck for duals, kayfunish type deck for single with a huge airhole and juice channels, glass tank, juice control for filling and top fill.

Sounds like you need an atty collection :). Don't worry, its like a disease, and next thing you know, 40 of them need worked on.

Not like I would know anything about that :D

Thanks for great advice. I think the disease already started. Bought 7 tanks in 24 hours. I am excited to get the Aqua's. Thanks for your help. I couldn't believe it. I am watching ng on utube reviewing the Aq v2.i will be up tonight checking reviews. Can't sleep sometimes. So I watch utube alot on new devices. I'm already hooked on coil builds but run out of tanks for now. Just recieved more wire(nickel) today. So I'm ready. Also 4 Sony vtc5 batteries... I have lots of batteries. RTD just got the vtc5's in stock. Do you use a Kuro tool for micro coils?

I wrap by hand. I bought a Coilmaster last winter because my arthritis gets so bad when its cold, but it was awful. I think its a clone though. It wrecked more coils than it made because the screws were constantly backing out.

I am rocking a Goblin Mini. The flavor is OUT OF THIS WORLD! even better than some drippers.

The Goblin Mini has several issues such as claustrophobic build deck, bottom filled like a Kayfun. Leaks if you use too little cotton. Have had it up to 32 watts. One reviewer had it up to 70, another problem is the screws and post holes are TINY, non standard 510 but comes with a 510 attachment and the option to plug one side of the build deck and rock in single coil mode. You can get the clone on eBay for ,$19.99 and Even cheaper on Fasttech.

But the question how do you like to vape?

Single coils? The Kayfun are good but they lack airflow

Dave recommended the Lemo 2. It works but would not recommend because mine leaked like a ,_______ at the fill port. My juice was running down my shirt every time it leaned over. I use a lanyard.

Tell me what you like (wattage, airflow, single or dual coils, do you use tank cracker juices, how much juice you want the tank to hold. If you use 10 ml+ you do not want something that holds 2-3 ml, etc.
