Looking to get my first rta

[Two_Bears]

I've been using the rba deck on my subtank but it's a pain in a half to build on and even harder to wick. I've been looking for a stand alone rta that is easy to build on. So far I've looked at the lemo 2. Orchid clones and goblin mini. I'm leaning towards lemo 2, but am open to recommendations. I also want one that's at least somewhat easy to refill which is why I'm leaning toward the lemo 2.

I would recommend against the Lemo 2. $36 that I threw in the garbage. Mine leaked like crazy around the fill port.

If you want an RTA. I can recommend several.

The Company Youde (UD) makes TGE Goblin, Goblin Mini, Goliath. Zepherus and others.

Of course there are plenty other RTAs such as the

Aqua, Aqua V2

Taifun

Kayfun v1-4, Lite Plus. 3.1, Mini, Monster, Russian 91℅, five pawns.

I use two RTAs the Goblin Mini and Kayfun Lite Plus.

Goblin Mini

This one looks pretty good too. Is there a reason you prefer the mini version?

 

[Shawn Hoefer]

I have the Kanger Subtank Plus, Kanger Subtank Mini, Kanger Subtank V1, UD Zephyrus, UD Goblin V2, Lemo V1 and Lemo Drop, Aqua V1, Orchid V2, Fogger V4, Taifun GT and GS, several Kayfun variants, eGo ONE Mega, Kraken, DID, Caravela, Atlantis with RBA, eGrip OLED with RBA, Ithaka, and Big Buddha... and I always come back to the UD tanks. The Zephyrus is a smallish dual coil build (nothing near as small as the Silverplay), offers top filling, and coil heads. Not a huge fan of the Aqua, although I do have a V1...

 

[Two_Bears]

The Silverplay, when I glanced at it, seemed on the smallish side. Cramming a dual coil deck in the space of a kayfun deck is just silly. The Youde Zephyrus and Youde Goblin are dual coil decks and quite a bit larger.

the Goblin Mini has a deck the size of a Kayfun but comes for dual coils. The Orchid is much the same as the Goblin Mini for claustrophobic decks.

 

[ashtrayogdc]

Goblin Mini has a smaller deck than the Goblin?

 

[Two_Bears]

Very simple. It is a very short tank 29 mm tall not counting the drip tip and 510 pib and it has better flavor in my opinion than flavir attys like the Magma and Veritas, and as good as the Freakshow Mini or Rogue.

The flavor of an atty and convenience of a tank. Holds 3-3.2 ml of juice.

Hmmm ok. The deck is the same size as the original goblin though? How much juice can you fill in the mini? Thanks for your help.

I like the Goblin Mini's ability to be converted into single coil mode...

Then there's the Goliath V2...

I have the Goliath V2 and Goblin Mini on order...

 

[Two_Bears]

Pretty sure it does. I used 2 mm coils with 6-7 wraps. Some have been able to use a 2.4 mm coil.

I love the mini because if two reasons.

1. The flavor.

2. It cones with a silicone plug to close off one side if you prefer a single coil.

Sounds good I think I will go with this one because fasttech has authentics. So can't build bigger id coils on it though? Like 3mm? I build my subtank mini coils with a 1/8 drill bit.

Lemos are good. I have a Lemo V1 and a Lemo Drop and like them both.

However, for absolute ease of use and versatility, the Kanger Subtank Mini can't be beat.

I just hate having to wrap the damn wires around the screw. I much prefer post holes and I also find the STM hard to wick. If I can find a good video or description of how to wick the STM
That would be good

Are you able to use regular 510 drip tips with the Goblin Mini? For some reason I am reading regular drip tips don't fit on it.

 

[Scotticus93]

Do you want to try dual coils? I love these:

Aqua v2. You can get an authentic for $25 shipped from Local Vape.
EHPro Epoch D1
Le Magister. I got a clone from Focalecig for a very low price.
Cthulhu or Aromamizer for an airier tank.

I can't find the aromamizer yet. Thought it was preorders only and I think it's kinda Expensive

 

[Two_Bears]

Its not bad. But, its not big air RDA type. Its an excellent flavor tank. I have two plus the Aqua SE.

For huge air, the Aromamizer. It can be run over 100W if you want.

One of the reviewers ran the Goblin Mini at 72 watts. I had it to 32 and that was more than high enough for me.

The Goblin Mini comes with a nonstandard size drip tip but it does come with an adapter for a normal 510 tip

The drip tip it cones with is OK and plenty airflow for me. I can take a full lung hit with one side plugged up to use it in single coil mode.

 

[Two_Bears]

I don't have any subtanks. @Marc411 @VaPreis. Those guys have both.

I tried an aqua V2 it has better airflow than the Subtank.

 

[Two_Bears]

Hmmm looks nice.
So the Aqua v2 doesn't have much airflow though? But if it is dual coil doesn't it need it?
I do enjoy my airflow I suppose. I have it wide open on my subtank mini. Thanks for the info.

Subtank Mini too airy for mouth to lung and nowhere airy enough for a lung hit

 

[Two_Bears]

It claims 3 ml. Many havecsaidvwith syringe they can get 3.2-3.3.

I have limited mobility on my left hand and I have real problems getting wires trapped on my Kayfun Lite Plus. My Goblin Mini has post holes. Vchick was able to use twisted 30 gauge coil.

 

[ashtrayogdc]

hmmm well it's settled I think I will go for the Goblin mini. Thanks for everyones help.
