The airhole on the deck, if it is 2mm they won't fit in (at least in my experience) but if the deck air hole is 2.5 or larger it's a really good solution.

Thank you. I think the Coppervape Hussar I have has a 2.5 air hole and I really need to reduce the airflow without having to use the airflow reducer pin. I think this is just what I need.

I believe that is correct and next time I build my Hussar I'll double check that it fits.

The cthulhu mtl doesn't leak if you fill it right....the problem is that people fill it like the would any other tank; just to the top of the fill holes...but with the mtl you want to fill it more than that, all the way to the top...if you do that, it won't leak...but it's hard as heck to convince people to even try.

If you fill it to the very top as you suggest, does it begin leaking as the juice level is deplete below that level?

+1 to that stormjib

It doesn't leak if you get the wicking right.. my first build leaked through the air flow in the center due to bad wicking. Pulled out the cotton and wicked it again, and this time got it right .. vaping on it daily and no leaks so far, 4th day with it.

Cheers

Another great option for MTL is the Digiflavor Siren MTL GTA. Digiflavor had discontinued them for some crazy reason, but so many people were upset about it, they decided to make another run of 4,000 Sirens. They said the run should take place very soon. I'm not sure when they'll be available for retail purchase, but, I've asked the question.

The Siren is my favorite MTL RTA by far! It's a genni-style atty that uses cotton for wicking. It is super easy to wick and build and it provides excellent flavor. I've got 10 Sirens so far, and once the new batch become available I want to get a minimum of 10 more.

If you want to read about the Siren, check out our thread:

I watched and kept saying I was going to get a 22m Siren...I waited to long and they disappeared. You said that they are re-releasing them again? Where did you hear that? I kind heard a rumor that some thing was coming this summer but I assumed it was a Siren V2 of some sorts. Very interested in getting one. Not going to miss out on it this time!

Yes! You can get a Siren or several Sirens if you'd like. I think this is another run of the original Siren, not the v2. I heard this from several sources, including from someone with Digiflavor in China and a couple of vendors who are stocking them. Riplea got the same email I got from Digiflavor as well. Evidently, Because so many people sent emails begging Digiflavor to make additional Sirens, they said they had decided to produce 4,000 more of them -- one thousand of each size and color. I asked if this means they'll continue making them with regularity, but they never answered that question. I'm going to link you to our Siren thread on the page where we posted about the new run of Sirens so you can see where you will be able to find them.

Enjoy my Cthulhu MTL, nice full flavor, Siren are less leaky and also have great flavor. Not impressed at all with the Merlin Mini, weak flavor. That large chamber needs 3 mm dia claptons to start to get decent flavor. My go to RTA lately have been my Wotofo Serpent Altos. Great atty, excellent flavor, easy to build & fill.

I haven't heard much about the Alto, is it MTL with a tight draw? Do you think the Alto provides better flavor than the Siren?
 
I'm coming late to the discussion, but the Kayfun Mini V3 is the best true MTL tank I have ever tried.
Nothing has beat the flavour it gives. It's easy to build on, top fill, nice to look at, and compact at 19mm.
I wish it held more than 2ml of juice, but filling is so easy it's something I can live with.
The authentics are pricey, but a good clone, until you figure out if you like it, is about $20.
