I'm probably still an MT man, myself. But that's probably also because I don't have an Alleria or Boreas yet. Frankly, I want both, but I suspect I'll like Alleria best. The Boreas seems to do its best work upwards of 75 or 80 watts, and that's too much for me for an ADV.

I'm running my Boreas at 50 watts and it's perfect for me and the only reason I'm that high is due to the large claptons I have in it. I typically use 30 to 40 watts on all of my rta's.

I know some people are using pretty complex super deluxe builds that take lots of power but I bet I could put a simple .5 ohm dual 26 gauge build at 30 watts and it would vape just as well. The Boreas is a stout beastly tank, I'm very glad I got one.

Lol who was that directed towards? @sig-cmt or myself? The Alleria is my new favorite RTA because it's a top fill flavor beast and it has the cool looking glass chimney that you can see your coils/wick through and a nifty juice flow control.

My bad. I made that post without refreshing the page. I was asking sig-mt, but either or, I was still interested.

All this positive feedback on the Boreas is killing me. I keep telling myself I need to wait for the Merlin since I have so many dual coil atty's right now. Since the Bachelor and Serpent surfaced I am really enjoying the single coil RTA's.

In other words you guys are killing me ;)

Boreas is real nice, Marc. Knowing your setups, you probably don't need one, but I doubt you'd regret it. I didn't need one either, but I'm extremely pleased with it.

I like it better than my Griffin, which I didn't think would be the case. Initially I bought it just to support Roxy the Supplier, but it's actually replaced my other stuffs (for now).

With the way they build the deck that would have been a great addition to the Boreas. A third deck to drop into the tank similar to the Bachelor and I would have one on the way.

That would be awesome! A postless deck with two juice holes just for big single coils. As long as they made the lead holes 2 mm that would rock!

Not saying your wrong by any stretch ian but personally the blocker just doesn't work well for me. Every time I use it I get some seepage in my airflow, go dual and it stops. I think liquid pools on the blocked side but again it works for you and that is cool.

I like the straight no nonsense single coil deck.

For the first test builds, I'm running 3.2mm, 26 ga NiFe52 at 40 watts on the 2 mm deck, 2 hole afc setting and it's perfectly amazing... only thing that's surpassed the Aromamizer - for me.

The Alleria comes very close to the 'Mizer in flavor, naturally passes it in how it's refilled, but then doesn't hold enough juice.

As of right now, my fav is Boreas but we'll see how it holds up once the Supreme arrives next week.
