I'm looking for a budget RBA Tank...

[Cool_Breeze]

I'm looking for a budget RBA tank that has the air supply through the center tube and the coil/wick over the top of the center tube. Top fill, 3-5ml or so. I prefer that to the style with air through the side of the top cap.

The Smoktech R-tank was very suitable, except that the plastic deck above the tank had a poor connection (plastic) and broke. Otherwise, I think the design was good and it performed well.

What RBA tanks along similar lines might be out there?

The kayfun 3.1 clone or fogger can both be had for around 20 buxks. If you're into crazy high wattage I'd suggest the fogger. Otherwise, kayfun will probably suit you better. Fasttech has both as well as a few other options.

I'm in the same boat my friend. Looking for a good glass rba tank under $50. The Fogger, Kayfun and glass RSST are my top 3 so far.

You can get the AGA T2 RBA at FastTech for around $12.44 with free shipping... although the shipping time is about 3-1/2 weeks time.

It has a 'genesis-style' setup and a pyrex glass tank too.

I just got mine the other day and it's working great so far.

Now this doesn't meet all of your criteria but for me it works just fine and I have no issues with the side air hole at all.

Thanks for the mentions of the Kayfun, Fogger and RSST.

...looking for Top Fill and Air Up the Center Tube (and not Nova Style with head, etc.).

3 1/2 weeks, I wish, I'm at one month and one day, and still waiting for the tracking info to change off of Information Received (This is not an acknowledgment of the physical receipt of the stated Registered Article).

hmm, clicking on someone's link to an unknown site and putting in my information? yup, I'm that frustrated and anxious for info, not that I actually think anything could really happen anyways, lol.....
so, Item received by transshipment hub, what the heck does that mean? At least it's better than what fasttech told me yesterday... They said wait a few days and then check the tracking info again, as if I could avoid looking at it at least once a night...

Sorry if I've gotten this thread off topic. I would love to recommend a kayfun lite clone, except I'm waiting for mine to arrive. Should be here soon, it's coming from ebay, not fasttech, lol...
