Welcome. What MTL RTAs tanks are you using. I am also MTL person but... not the kind that like to suck vapor through single smallest hole....I love Siren2 and hate SXK Doggystyle tank... it looks I belong neither to strict MTL nor DL vapers... I am waiting for my first RDTA... it is Nano Wasp...

I got siren 2 24mm(wich i use the most), berserker 24mm/mini/RDA, vapefly galaxies RDA, and nautilus. I also got 2 kayfun 3 mini's and Hadaly clone got from trade, havent used them yet tho.

Siren been the easiest for me to make setup so far so thats what ive been using on my therion75c and at work i use vt inbox with galaxies..
Im havong some troubles with the big berserker and RDA one, cant find the setup i like.

I like also mainly very restricted Dl/loose mtl wich siren/galaxies provide, tough berserker's have satisfying airflow IF i overcome the roubles i got(on rda, overheating and on the rta the flavor, tough on the mini i get nice flavor n airflow but it's 2ml tank

Ps. I had small siren 2 also but it got stolen along with my pico @work

I have 2 siren2 (small) tanks and would like one bigger... but I am afraid flavor will not be as good. I started with Nautilus2 tanks and when I bought big 5ML original tank I was extremelly dissapointed both with flavor (basicaly flavorless) and terrible noisy tight draw. You had both sirens so how you will compare big and small siren2?

IMO its the same flavor wise, i had lil better build quality on the bigger and bbigger doesent get as hot as the small 1, tough i same build doesent fit both.i had to build a liltle "heavier" build in it...
AtM running vandyvape superfine clapton NI80, 2,5 coil @1,02 ohm and 16,5w.
testing next same wire but ss316l for tc.
should be 0,5ish ohm but i heard it doesent matter so much in TC wich i havent tried b4

Usualy i use 28ga kanthal, around 1.2ish ohm but got the clapton for free so what the heck

It didint apply on berserkers, i got good setuo for the mini, but the tank runs out fast and having the filling issues on... i use it only on flavor testing

The 24mm berserk, i cant understand why i cant get it to work like mini!

Thank you. I do not want berserker because it has supposedly very tight draw but I definitely consider to buy bigger Siren.

The Siren is also more complicated than that (IMO). I have small and large Sirens, but I also have one in plastic and a couple in gunmetal.. (One large, one small). I find the gunmetal less thirsty but also less "tasty" or less immediate than my smaller, black, I think for the most part, Siren. It's not bad, just different, kinda. I theorize that the plastic version may get "hotter" or vaporize "faster" in some fashion than the Gunmetal, which I'm guessing it would take more wattage to heat up due to the materials involved. Etc. I don't really have a complaint about either version, but they are sort of a different vape and etc.

And yes, small tanks often will vape better than their larger counterparts, but not always, however, I do think the flavor is often more "immediate" with smaller tanks and etc.

Somehow it is hard for me to believe that color of tank can affect flavor. I believe all Siren2 tanks are made of stainless steel and glass. My both 22mm Sirens are silvery/grey and the only difference in flavor is probably due to difference in coil and wicking... I am getting better in making coils and wicking and thanks to your recommendation of rayon I am getting wonderful flavor that surpass Nautilus2 bvc coils.

I plan to buy bigger Siren in black to match my new mod. Small silvery Sirens perfectly match my Zelos but bigger tank would had overhang on Zelos.

My new mod can accept bigger tanks and since it is black I want to buy black tank. I got my new mod yesterday... it is Geek Vape Aegis. So far I love this mod... it is slightly bigger (I thought it will be much bigger) and heavier than Zelos but it feels in my hand as it was molded to my hand... it is much more comfortable to hold and handle than Zelos or iStick Pico I have... leather and ruberized plastic is not so cold and slippery... fire button fire instantly.... TC works much much better than on Zelos... I still like Zelos but I think it will be used as back up only... I am not going to put my Aegis through any torture test but having it gives me peace of mind that using it at work I do not have to worry about dropping it on concrete floor or made him dirty...I can wash it with soapy water the same way as washing my hands... leaking tank is not a problem put it under faucet and wipe it with kitchen towel... ruggedness combined with handsome masculine look... I am tempted to buy one more because newer version is not so handsome and rugged (because 2 battery cells required different battery door) and old will be discontinued probably.

Ooo, i didint know there was plastic versions of sirens, is it a clone? Mine were both stainless steel n glass. The quality i mentioned earlier was about smaller siren 2's the top cap big O-ring and the AFC ring, topcap was VERY loose when i i got the device, and in use, it went to having leakage issues due top cap opening from even slightest pressure or touch(wich i fixed with DIY extra O-ring)
AFC issue was a minor thing, it was also very loose but i got used to it(bigger berserker has same issue)

About the vape, i must mention that on smaller siren i used the stock drip tip and on bigger i was using a smalle but same style 1, maybe that helpened the flavor and the sheer size of the siren2 24mm(it BIG, compared to smaller).

IMO Siren v2 24mm worth the buy. Yes its bigger which means longer travel ( which can be compensated with slightly bigger coil and different Drip tip). But at the same time it allows more versatile builds than the smaller, due the heating issues AND the bigger tank is just wonderfull !
