Looking for the perfect RTA or RDTA

[Vaep]

I have been vaping the Wotofo Serpent RTA for a while now but has leaking and dry-hit issues. The Serpent RDTA is amazing but the juice capacity is only 2.5ml. Im looking to upgrade..

I like the Billows and Limos but they're too tall and also have a few issues....and im sure there's something newer/better out by now.. I know im an oldschool vaper and I should know my shtuff, but tbh, I mainly just geek out on APVs...I am out of the loop when it comes to attys these days..

Needs:

- Single-coil capability
- 4 to 5ml juice capacity
- Not sub-ohm only
- Good for 20 to 40watt vaping
- 24 or 25mm width
- Below 60mm in height
- 510 driptip compatible
- Must have MTL capability (prefer restricted DTL or open MTL)
- RTA or RDTA
- Minimal leakage
- No finicky refilling

List of recommended RTA's as seen below:

OBS Engine Nano
GeekVape Blitzen
Vandy Vape Kaylin Mini
Wofoto Serpent Mini
GeekVape Zeus
Innokin Ares
DigiFlavor Siren 2
Animodz Doggystyle (or SJMY version)
Digiflavor Pharaoh Mini

Engine nano maybe?

I'm currently using the Blitzen RTA, holds either 2ml or 5ml. Postless build deck so you can build single or dual coils and has a honeycomb airflow.

Thanks guys. I like the width of the Blitzen but the driptip is way too wide for my vape style (MTL) so I got the Engine Nano.. Seems perfect and the price is too nice.. Cheers!
EDIT: Blitzen comes with 510 adapter.

That's what I like about alot of tanks, they include a 510 DT adapter so it can be used MTL. [emoji106]

The Blitzen comes with an adapter! I didnt even see that

Dangit, im now looking at the Wotofo Serpent Mini, SMM, The Kylin Mini, and the Zeus...

I can still cancel my Engine Nano..

 

[Tonee N]

Just buy them all.[emoji106]

I like the deck on the Kylin mini but if leaking is your biggest concern the Zeus may be best. Being that it has the top airflow I think it would be pretty peak resistant if not leakproof. Judging by the size of the thread for the Zeus I’d say it has fans.

 

[Vaep]

And theyre all about the same price ($25)...hmmmm The more I dig, the more attys I find...I wish I was rich or I would buy them all..

I want the atty that'll be the best for a 1ohm, regular kanthal coil...And it should have a tighter draw respectively.. Its hard to judge by reviews because most people vape super subohm coils..

I really like the look and size of the Wotofo SMM, but Ive read that its not good with anything thinner than 24G wire.. I use 26G. And Ive read that flavor is a bit muted...So I have my eye on the Serpent Mini, but everyone is saying the SMM is much better...damn.

As for the Zeus-- While it also has top airflow like the OBS Engine Nano, I saw in a video that it has wicking issues, most likely due to the design-- The wick holes are not aligned with the coil which bugs me....Can someone change my mind please cuz I like this atty.

The Blitzen seems good. Looks the coolest imo.. It's new and I like that its postless and can hold up to 5ml, BUT it's more optimized for dual coils and still on preorder.

I wonder what will work best with a 1ohm coil @ ~30watts...

Have you looked into the innokin Ares? It sounds like it would fit your style fairly well. I enjoy mine for MTL, and I have yet to have a single drop leak out.

 

[stols001]

I would second the Ares. Some early production issues, but they got worked out. I liked mine enough to order a second one. Great flavor, very easy to set up, large capacity. Plenty of variation on draw, etc.

Did they fix the topcap issue? I was reading about the Ares yesterday and came across a thread on the topcap having leaking issues.. Hopefully thats fixed cuz it seems like the perfect all day MTL RTA

 

[stols001]

My topcap was initially a bit loose. It never leaked though, just sometimes wouldn't click into place completely, but it never leaked.

There were early reports of condensation in the chimney/drip tip, but those have apparently been fixed. I dont' really know why mine stopped doing it, but it also seems there are some machining "tolerances" that can also make the airflow ring tighter or looser. Mine's a bit tight, but has been loosening up.

Despite all this, I do recommend it. It's my second favorite RTA so far, flavor is great. The things I'm talking about are more like "small niggling issues" not dealbreakers. I might not have ordered another if my topcap HADN'T stopped doing that, but I would have continued vaping the one I had.

If your doing MTL I would do the ares or the siren2

 

[Vaep]

OK I got the Siren2. Was a bit cheaper than the Ares and Ive had the Siren2 in the back of my mind since Ive seen it recommended so much, but I thought the airflow might be too tight. But then I remembered that I never have open airflow on my Serpent RTA. Its always at 25% open, so if the Siren2 can match that, ill be happy. DONE. :] :]

Thank you everyone who recommended me attys! Finally getting rid of this LEAKY, small glass azz, dry-hitting after 1ml, overly finnicky, too-many-parts-havin', shirt stain givin', damned Wofoto Serpent RTA!

 

[Zaryk]

I know you already chose another RTA, but wanted to throw this out there just in case anyone else is wondering. My ares (and all the rest in the shops I went to around me) had nice tight top caps on them. An older one the shop owner uses does have a wobble to the top, but he said there was no leaks.

 

[DPLongo22]

Have you checked out the Doggystyle? Driest tank I've ever used (not counting blister-pack stuff).

Quite tasty too, IMO.

 

[Tonee N]

The Blitzen seems good. Its new and I like that its postless and can hold up to 5ml. Still preorder though

Preorder?
I own 2 of them.
