Nudge me toward a Cthulhu replacement

[Vapenstein]

One of my Cthulhu's top fill got cross threaded and is seized up pretty good. I'm bottom filling for now, which is a pain, and to get the top off it's gonna mar it pretty good.

Cthulhu v1s are history, and I need a replacement tank.

I do not like how tall the Cthulhu v2 is, or the unnecessary juice flow.
I hate the build deck of the Bellus.
Aromamizer? Maybe.
I want top fill unless the bottom fill is super clean and easy.
I do not want another tank that pukes as much juice as my Cthulhus.
I want at least as much airflow as the Cthulhu v1.
I want a tank that wicks great at 40-50w and let's me go higher if I want.

Recommendations, let's have 'em and why. Thanks guys.

What do you mean by pukes juice? Do they leak or you just go through too much?

I think you want an Aromamizer, but it doesn't top fill. It has 8 generous holes in the bottom of the chimney you use it fill. However, some have had leaking when its not upright. I haven't (yet).

Aromamizer...

I was going to say the Goliath v2, but if you hate the build deck on the Bellus, then you won't like that as they are the same 2 post super easy to build center coils deck.

my only reservation about the aromamizer is the airflow not being center on the coils
the tfv4 mini would fit the bill, but the 3.5ml capacity is a deal breaker
so far the aromamizer is still at the top of the list but I'm not quite decided

Uwell Crown? Don't know if I'd be happy with a single coil any more. Does it flow enough air for a Cthulhu guy? Does it wick? Can I hit it at 50w?

I haven't tried the crown tank with the rba. With the stock .25 coils it has good airflow, and can keep up at 60-70w with ease. I see people going higher than that, but have found no need to.

nm I read in a couple places that the rba effectively turns the Crown into an ST Mini, not for me

Yeah. If that's the case I won't even bother picking up the rba, not a ST mini fan.

I guess you could look at the Billow v2? People like that one. I never tried it because I'm over the 4 post orchid/goblin/billow style decks.

On 3 of my 4 Aromamizers two airholes are in front of the coils and 2 face the negative posts. I didn't know why one was different, but I think I do now: the o ring where the tank connects to the base is torn. However, that one has all 4 airholes crossing the deck at diagonals, which is great for the build I have in it.

I must say I still thoroughly enjoy my zephyrus on the istick40. The flavor is up to par, the 5mls get's me through a day no problem, it comes with an rba base and the ability to buy premade coils, the thing looks slicker than any of my other tanks with a subtank mini drip tip on it+ blue o rings, and comes with replacement parts galore. Everything I need to give it a confident 5 out of 5 stars. I'll go ahead and tell you though, the deck on the zephyrus is bottle necking in it's functionality. Not to mention it takes practice to wick and an experienced builder to install coils. The chamber is so constricting that I can't even fit a 28g coil in there if it has over a 2.8mm diameter. 2.5mm with a 7 wrap of 26g n80 (.32ohm) is the way I've used it for months with not a single problem. That being said however I'll still stand by that tank any day.
