It's difficult for a RTA to provide enough juice to the wick and enough airflow to the coils to keep up with 80 watts of heat. You need really big juice channels and really big airflow. But if you make the juice channels too big, the RTA will leak when sitting around without the heated coil to absorb the juice. RDAs have juice wells to keep extra juice and large and often multiple airflow holes.

The Youtude Goblin RTA is one of the best I've found for approaching RDA performance. I've taken it up 60 watts without much trouble and it doesn't leak if you do your wicking correctly.

I've been looking around at RTA's but have not been able to find one that will vape the way I want it to. When I vape with RDAs I usually vape around .12 ohms at 80+W so I get thick hot flavorful vapes. Looking for an RTA that can match that, price isn't an issue.

if there were an rta that matches that people wouldn't be using rda's

maybe you should look at a bottom feeder - REO

the 3d rda might interest you
or the bidD

I agree with the Goliath being the closest but I don't see 80 plus. Lots of tanks on the market that handle that with ease but I don't know of a rebuilding one because of wicking without leaking. I got a friend who takes a Subtank Mini up to 50 with modifications. So I won't say it's impossible but if you do it please let me know
