So I have been using the lemo tank version 1 for a while now and have loved the stellar performance of it. Of course i've had to drill the air holes out and the airflow control to get more air flow. I tried a friends matrix tank and loved the open huge air flow but i don't want to buy replaceable coils because i like to make my own so i can change and jump ohms to my liking. Like i said i've been rocking the lemo for about 7 months and it has been my go to, now that the market is always changing and new things have passed me by, what is a great RTA that has a BUNCH of airflow and that doesn't leak like the billow (pBusardo).
Please shoot me your recommendations. i dont the the kanger subtank do to the fact that the martrix is much more "airer".

A good friend uses the Zepharus from UD. I took a few pulls and I think it's at least as good as my Subtank Plus. I like the top fill design. I hear good and bad about the Billow V2.
I've heard really good things about that tank. I just stick with subtanks because I love them, and I like just having one type of coil to worry about. I do have the tct tank, which is on par with the subtanks imo, awesome airflow. Bought some regular vct vertical coils for it.

I have the Zephyrus. Haven't used it all that much yet because I'm still futzing around with the build, but IMHO, it has crazy big airflow. However, I'm not a super-subber and tend to swing back and forth between direct lung inhales and tamer MTL action, so you should factor that into my opinion. And it only applies to the RBA deck - I haven't tried the coil head yet.

I have the Lemo, Lemo drop, Lemo 2, Cthulhu and now the Billow V2. Cthulhu is by far the best design, but the worst build quality, seems they have no QC department. When it works......it works very well, tons of vapor and flavor. None of the lemos did it for me, too restricted and to me, not reliable. The Billow V2, now that it is breaking in, is right up there with the Cthulhu, or real close, and the build quality is awesome.

In the end my vote would be either Cthulhu or Billow V2

The atlantis has amazing air flow been using it for quite a while. Just got an orchid v4. A tiny bit less airflow than the atlantis but a close second and the orchid is rebuildable. Im enjoying every second with it

And you can rebuild the factory coils, so this could be on topic...no offense...just pointing that out.

I have both the Goblin and the Goliath from UD, and I think they are both awesome.

If I had to choose one, definitely the Goliath. It has liquid regulation and you can remove the deck without emptying the tank. That's great to check your coil regularly or to explain the laymen how an e-cig works. Their face when they see the deck sitting by itself on top of my box creating huge amounts of vapour like there's no tomorrow, is always priceless. :lol:

Besides, the whole thing is an engineering masterpiece. So much simpler than the Kayfun 4 to get the same result - with much more airflow :)

I just got a Goliath yesterday and haven't had a chance to build it yet. The design appeals to me also. It had three attributes I wanted: remove the deck without draining the tank; two post design that allows centering the coils over the air holes without any fuss; reasonable juice capacity. I'm glad to hear it will be a keeper.

I'm trying to find a RTA that I like enough to buy a second one of (one for fruit flavors and one for tobacco flavors). I'm hoping the Goliath might be it.

You might want to check the second version of the Goliath. I still did not get my hands in one of those, but I can wait. :)

The regulator ring is more flush with the body, and is has larger capacity (those dissipator rings at the top are gone, making the inside volume a little taller).

One dowside *might* be the new deck - AFAIK, they made it similar to the Goblin's, with four posts.

But OTOH, I don't find it too difficult to rebuild the Goblin either. Having four post also has advantages. :)
