Hi again, new member, did one post here. not sure if ok to post here again or what sub forum, but can use some fast help.
plenty stocked up on nicotine, problem running into is stock coils for sub ohm tanks. going to switch to RTA's. (top airflow, am noob at building tried griffin 25 long time ago and another bottom airflow, leak city, cant risk leaking tank ruining my mods)
I have ordered the oxva arbiter, kylin mini v2, digiflavor themis (was on clearance).
None have arrived yet to be able to try. Plus got to learn how to build better, but that can wait, priority is buying tanks before everything gets shut down.
Would like to get one or 2 more incase ones ordered dont work out.
Want too place order soon, crack downs already hitting me, live in state us suppliers wont ship to, did a fastech order for misc. stuff last night. First tine ever the free or cheap e packet not available. said such and such wont allow deilivery to my address. Had to pay through the nose for shipping.
Any suggestions on other top airflow rta? like loose draw or loose enough, I dont feel like sucking through a straw. Watched alt of utube video reviews, so mixed on some many tanks gets confusing for sure, like the dead rabbit 2...
Anyone got any sugestions on one that you may have experience with or know about.
Sure would be appreciated.
Thanks a bunch

    The Dead Rabbit 2 is a great choice. Good taste, top airflow, easy build. I had one start to leak on me after a while, but I've been using a clone for a long while without leaking. I've also got some Geekvape Zeus on order, but of course, I haven't tried them. I'm currently also using a Wotofo Recurve dual. It has top airflow, but is a little harder to build on.

    I only use top airflow single coil rtas these days and stocked up on several extras
    My two favorites are QP MR (mini isn't bad if you can find one) and augvape Intake single.
    QPs are still available from their site in Canada. They also sell spares, orings, screws, inserts and glass which could be very important long term. They are built very well.
    The older single coil intakes are very hard to find. FT has some gold ones (not my cup of tea but I snagged two just in case).
    I have a lot of older Zeus, obs, etc that I don't use any longer.
    Both of these are easy and quick to re-wick.
    I also have the mtl intake but as the name implies it is restricted. Same concept just smaller everything.

    Thanks. whwrw did the dead rabbit leak at?. Your clone ok, where did you get it?

    It would leak at the bottom of the glass. A new o-ring probably would have fixed the problem, but I didn't bother. I bought both the authentic and the clone at Fasttech, but I think they are in the process of discontinuing them. Some styles are available and some aren't.

    I have had really awesome luck with the GeekVape zeus rta. It was my first tank to start building on and it was simple and solid enough to weather through me being a newbie.

    Totally agree with @pt91 ,coincidence that today in the morning i got my Juggerknot MR RTA (Top Airflow) and wow!! i mean wow!!

    Haven't put it down and i have been vaping like crazy,think i actually used twice the daily e-liquid i normally use hehe.
    Only time i stopped using it was to take a couple of puffs of my Hellvape Destiny RTA (Good atomizer,bottom airflow thou) just to compare the flavor...and triple wow!!

    Flavor astounding,build quality superb,i am loving it!!

    I'm glad to hear that, because I have a juggernaut clone on order. I had ordered another Dead Rabbit, but got an email from FT stating it was out of stock. I was going to go with a different DR, but that would have been a 5 day wait whereas the juggernaut was in stock.

    That is great to hear.
    I just unboxed, cleaned and built my second one and tried a 2.5 coil (same flat alien kanthal). Not liking it as much as the 3.0 diameter coil so far. I was trying to keep the ohms not too low and added an extra wrap. Maybe it is just taking too long to heat up. I will tinker with it.
    I almost ordered a fourth MR one today but my wallet was crying. :)

    If it's not much trouble please send me a pm when you get the clone.
    This time it was a ''special'' occasion i don't normally spend that much on a atty so if the clone get your seal of approval i will take your word and sage advice and order another one ;)

    cheers

    This is the coil i am using with mine:

    Resistencia Cleopatra (2pcs) - Lady Coils (vegavapor.es)

    Friend that owns the vape shop in the town i lived never seen the Juggy MR in person so he told me to pop by his store so he could see it and if he liked it maybe order a couple to have in his store.

    He offered to pop in a coil and get it set up since i took the trouble to drop by.
    It's a 3mm Full Ni80 0.11 in dual,running single so it reads 0.22 ohms at the moment,not a fan of really warm vape so i am juggling between 35w and 40w but wow...didn't really expect it to be this good.

    Still getting use to the top cap thou,since you unscrew it in the opposite direction as most RTA it just feels a bit weird hehe

    I forgot to tell you about the amount of liquid you will go through :)
    I finally got used to turning the other direction and holding the mod so it doesn't come unscrewed when I fill.
    I just switched back to my first MR with the 3.0 diameter coil and it is better. I am getting an odd air swirl on the new one at 2.5 diameter.
    Both coils are about .51-.56 with same liquid and drip tip. Airflow open about 2/3. About 39 watts. I like a dense, not too warm vape.
    I would prefer to get around .65-75 but the fixed width of the deck makes it hard with the sort of wire I use. Still looking for a finer, flat kanthal clapton. So far I can't find it on a spool.

    problem running into is stock coils for sub ohm tanks.

    What coils were you looking for, for sub ohm tanks? I bought many boxes of various ones for the guys I was helping to stock up, and 1 of them is no longer planning on vaping longterm. I may have some of what you were looking for, if you're still going to get some sub-ohm tanks. I'm not really trying to sell the extras I have but...if someone really needs them...I'd possibly part with them. If I don't have the ones you were looking for, I may be able to find some for you in the US.
