Please help me to choose the best RTA/RBA Tank Kit !

+1 for the Aromamizer. The Bellus is a great tank, but I like the ease and versatility of the 2-post velocity deck.

The aromamizer has that horrible rubber ring.
Huge turn off. Just a janky design that looks like an afterthought.
That's why I chose the Bellus.

The velocity deck is neat and all, but I never had a problem with standard decks so I don't see the hype.

As far as I know, all tanks leak ! So what I want to find is the one that I can "do it myself", great vapor and flavour, easy to mantain. So UD Bellus or TVF4 or Lemo 2 ? All that is my concern.

Wicking is the key.
Wicked properly, they don't leak.

How are all of these in regards to leaking?

Was set on getting a couple of tvf4, but after some reading, people are having leaking problems with it.

With the Bellus, I have never had a leak. This has been my most reliable tank ever! So reliable, there are three floating around our house. My gf carries hers upside down in her bag all the time without any issues.

The aromomizer will leak a tiny amount if it is laid down on its side with an air hole pointing directly down. If the airhole is not directly down, zero issues.

The MT has a bit of a condensation issue, but it is pretty light. I have had some leaking from the MT when I filled it without closing the air flow. So user error...

Can't speak to the griffin or HIGO as I have neither, but the Griffin has been getting pretty good reviews.

Yea the rubber band is lame. I personally like a decent amount of air, so I just run my aromamizer without the band, and it works great!

The Bellus is basically an aromamizer without the rubber ring, and with a standard deck.

Yes, after play around with Subox mini RBA, I now know it for sure. Finally, I know my answer is : UD Bellus. I have research it, it is great. It will appear in my next purchase. (This time I will buy a lot of things due to the very big discount by our Lunar New Year Celebration)

I think we're really starting to see perfection in some of these tanks, which is why some have such similar features. The only two tanks I use anymore are the Bellus and Aromamizer, and with the dozen in the drawer, that's definitely saying something

I haven't had a problem with any of them but one MT. And I have 4 MTs. The one that has leaked seems to have other QC issues as well. I call him Satan For unknown reasons he has randomly peed out small amounts of juice a few times. He can go weeks without doing it, then there will be juice that comes out an airhole. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it, lol! Its never happened to my other 3.

And yes, the Aromamizer can leak on its side though wicking technique can help.

I've only had the HIGO since Wednesday.

Your English is quite good. Anyway, yes all tanks can leak. The way you wick it and juice it can also play a factor. Even my Subox Mini leaked 2 weeks ago, ever so slightly though. It was enough to annoy me. Now, no leak whatsoever. I think the juice I'm using right now is thinner. I'll see if it starts again when I up the VG.

I never had problems, with the 3 I own. I go bandless, because I don't need airflow control.

It is very happy to see anyone in all around the world come in one place to help each other and share the same enjoyment !

 

[KayP]

@tieuphieu I think the Bellus tank is a good investment. I hope you enjoy it. Do let us know your thoughts when you get to try it out. The Kanger Subtank Mini V2 (I believe this is the tank included in the Subox Kit) is still good, especially with flavour. Are you still ordering a glass tank for your Subox Mini?

Yes. I will recieve the Bellus in next Friday (maybe, and hope so because of customs). I will try it and share my thoughts about it ASAP. By the way, I will also receive 3 glass tube for subtank mini (3 for more back-up ). This subtank is also the very good tank, so how can I deny it ?

As for leaking, my Cthulu v2 doesn't...ever.
I have an Indulgence Mutation X RT that didn't merely leak, it fell apart. No matter how carefully I built it, wicked it, and put it together, the two-part chimney always just popped apart in my hands, pocket, sitting still on my desk if I looked at it cross-eyed. I retired it last week.
I just got an OBS Crius clone, and that thing has been SOLID. I shoe-horned in a dual twisted 24 ga. build on it yesterday, and it hasn't leaked a drop. Great flavor and chucks some serious cloudage.

 

[smokinGAVIN]

+1 on the Crius. It totally surprised me.

 

[tieuphieu]

Hi hi, my new glass tube. Just recieved it this morning.

 

[KayP]

@tieuphieu Good to hear. Which glass are you referring to, the one on the right or left?
Just kidding. Enjoy your vape.

UD Bellus is in my hand now , I will review it as I promised later.

But shipping issue on Kanger Tech Glass Tube

And problem about the connection between Kanger Kbox Mini and UD Bellus, they seem to be un-match. The 501 hole of Kbox mini is deeper, so my Bellus can not reach it to make a circuit, so Kbox always say 9.9 ohms. Does anyone has that issue, please help me !

thats becos the kbox 510 isn't spring loaded. u can unscrew ur bellus 510 pin to lengthen it abit, or u could get a heat sink.

The Bellus RTA has an adjustable 510 pin, simply grab a flat screwdriver wind the pin out a bit.

I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately faulty vape mail is a thing. My Griffin RTA arrived with a broken glass tube. I'm waiting for my vendor to offer a replacement tube. I hope you'll get yours sorted out too.
