Tf-rta leaks a little but I've never had a wet pocket or anything. Mostly just seeps on top of the mod. Closing the juice & air flow help. I've heard the moonshot is good as long as it's wicked right. I planned on getting one of those instead. Don't really remember what changed my mind.

Ironically I the guy that told me about the moonshot gave it to me yesterday. Capacity isn't huge but it's not drinking a lot of juice. Not as big of clouds but no leaks & great flavor. I would definitely recommend it.
 
I have had lots of experience with different rta's and so far the griffin 25 has worked the best for me. Wicking at first is a little bit hard. I also hear great things about the aromamizer supreme. I have not played with the aromamizer supreme myself but a few of my buddies have it and love it.

Why does it needs that tank part if you have to drip it? These RDTAs kinda confuses me....feels like buying a car, that has another cars half welded in the back.

The RDTA's are actually, in my opinion, going back a step in time. Let me explain the two styles that have been used.

The Genesis style tank:
The whole idea behind this tank was back when they were trying to figure out how to saturate the coil from a tank. The Genesis style came up with the idea of putting the tank below the build deck and the juice will wick UP to the coil, and saturate the wick. Usually Stainless steel was used to prevent dry hits and help with wicking. The downside, is if you tilted your mod on it's side, the juice would flood the coil, then chamber, then you'd have your tank emptied with juice spilling everywhere. I used an Aga-T2 for a while, but I used silica back then.

The Velocity style deck: The idea behind this was to maximize the build area. They used two posts, with grub screws on the side to make the ceiling of the deck lower. Four holes on the two posts made building easier since coils tend to have one lead high and one lead low. Then they put the airflow below the coil, so you didn't have to worry about extra layers added for airflow control.

They used the flooding downside of the Genesis style to help saturate the coils for the larger builds on the newer style. Funny... that is how I used my AGA-T2 3 years ago.. back then I used a vertical silica, but I would make a larger coil wrapped around silica, and I would vape "gangsta style" to saturate the wick. Guess I was vaping ahead of my time. :)
