Looking for The Right RTA

[BigEgo]

I've been using primarily Kanger Subtank Mini's for a while now. But since there has been a slough of new rta's released, I figured I might upgrade.

I am more or less happy with the performance of the subtank, but since I modified the deck (I dremeled it), it leaks. Yes, the dry hits are gone, but it leaks like a sieve. I have tried the V2 with the new rba deck, but it still leaks.

The problem I have is I cannot seem to find any rta that meets my criteria:

• Is single coil
• Allows for sub-ohming (Kayfuns, etc. are too restricted).
• Doesn't leak
• Top fill (or if not top fill, is easy to fill).

I know the Lemo 2 is a single coil RTA, but it has gotten pretty bad reviews all around. The Billow 2 looks OK but it's dual coil (don't want) and I hear it is fiddly. The Goliath v2 looks to be the most promising, but I figured I would ask you RTA nerds if you have any other recommendations.

Or how about clearos? If I buy a clearo, it must have an RBA deck. I've looked at the Triton and it looks really nice except the RBA deck looks janky and supposedly dry hits.

I have the Billow and I like it. Dual coil, yes. Hard to wick, only the 1st time. There's a trick to it. Have you seen this?
Kayfun Monster V2 Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer
It's n my short list, but so is the Lemo2. I hear lots of good things about it, no bad reviews.

Taifun GS II seems okay.

Delta 2! It's awesome. The lemo 2 is good too, but the delta has slightly better flavor.

You can't subohm a taifun, the posts are too skinny and its hard to trap the larger gauge coils, and its got like no airflow so you end up with a very hot coil that might fall off. For mouth to lung, at 1.5ohm it's a great tank to build micro coils on, but that's about it.

You probably don't want the Triton, the rba is awkward at best and it gets a lot of negative reviews.

Yeah...looks like I missed the 'sub-Ohm' part. Thanks.

If you're considering a Rebuildable, I'd highly suggest the Aromamizer RDTA. I own many tanks, but this is the ONE. There's a thread here if you want to take a better look.

The new Cthulhu v2 comes with 2 decks, one for single and one for duals. I think it meets all your criteria.

 

[BigEgo]

Thanks for the replies. I will look into the aromamizer and the Cthulhu v2.

I do like the subtanks just fine, but the leaking is getting annoying. If I stuff it with cotton, it dry hits. If I lay cotton just at the top of the deck, it leaks.

I really wish all RTA manufacturers would consider us single coil guys. Some of us do like to sub-ohm but want convenience of building one coil.

 

[albcig]

kayfun would be a very good one. even a cheap chinese clone works very well. you can subohm on a kayfun. but has trouble keeping up the juice flow.

 

[Ou2mame]

The kfv4 definitely can't subohm well. They do well a subohm kit for it with a better insulator and wider chimney but airflow and wicking just aren't there.

 

[GeorgeS]

I have to ask what the juice content your using to get so much leaking?

While I generally use %100VG with TC builds on TC mods I've been mostly pleased with my STM purchases (if we forget the little problem I'm having with one I opened a thread on earlier).

No leaks, flooding or dry hits here.

I would not discount the Lemo2. Some hate it for sure but there is those of us that love it. I rarely get any leaks when/after filling and feel comfortable enough with it to pocket it or take it to work with me. I often store it on its side while charging my SXminiM and rarely have moisture on the paper towel placed under it.

You could also take a look at the Merkava from mini-ecig...seems to meet the criteria

 

[fogmust]

Squape. Nuff said. Not top filling, but it will be the last RTA you buy for a long, long time.

Goblin mini comes with a single coil option and has epic flavor with great airflow. 3ml tank tho, dunno how long a sub ohm build will last ^^;

Goblin classic is only dual coil but has a larger tank
