Unless of course they're using some bottom-feeder other than a REO.
Like a boggers box
got a couple reos too. Reos are better than the wired boggers I have.
Still prefer my tubes though. Just me!
RTA closest to RDA experience.

See, that's exactly like me! I've been vaping since 2009 and have tried loads of different devices. Personally, I've never really liked bottom feed devices. These new tank feeding drippers (Big Dripper, Pontus, Rocky (ok that was .... lol)) that are coming out seem to give us tube mech lovers all the benefits of squonking, but in a much more simple, all stainless and glass package.
Who knows. I might get the Pontus in the mail and hate it, but right now this seems like the best option for those of us who want big, adjustable airflow and dripper characteristics... With a tank... And in a tube mod.
Or a dibi, or an RSM, or something like this.Like a boggers box
Different strokes for different folks. I've bought one tube. I don't care for it at all. Firing switch on the bottom? Mess around with a locking ring? "Ain't nobody got time for dat!"
Agreed I have a few home made ones with DNA 30's There awesome But still very similar to my Reo's

Bit the bullet and ordered a pontus. Looks like a TOBH with a tank on top. I also have a sat22 clone coming in. I have too many RDAs to count but my favorite right now is the Veritas (nudges out the origen v2 for leak resistance). I used to only go with lung hits but somehow I'm back to tight mouth draws for concentrated flavor. Reo's sound nice, but I'm often out and about and a compact tube mod with a recessed button is my preferred device (ie; 4nine).
No one has mentioned the GUS Estia. That and the Aqua are the closest RTAs I've tried that rival an RDA.
Same. Sat22 and a Pontus incoming. Gonna pick up a Nahualon as well. Too many good gennys and dripper innovations incoming. Really excited to see what happens in the next year in terms of atty design. Interesting vaping times indeed!
I'm with you. But I think RDA's are out pacing RTA's by far. I think a bottom fed no splill RDA with a DNA chip would be ideal. I think something like that is just around the corner. Hopefully the FDA won't kill the industry prior.
You mean something like this?
That would be awesome...
In a 18650 tube... all stainless and glass... no plastic bottles/tubes etc touching mah juice!
but seriously, cool device!
Do any of the pump style tank drippers have a stainless window? I've given up on plastic tanks....
I do have a 3D which I find has great flavor and vapor but is a pain to build, refill, and clean.

Pontus has glass window and big dripper is stainless.
I have a nahualon, it's not my favorite. Flavor is okay but the draw is a bit tight due to airhole design and small chamber. I get a lot of vacuum and occasional flooding on hard pulls. Hoping the sat22 will be the right amount of airflow. It's a shame these high end genny's don't have afc.
I find the Smoktech RSBT pretty close to a dripper's vape -- hence, I'm not too wild about it, but, it's a better option for tank crackers than the kayfun quartz kit, because of the filling/draining issues with the quartz kit.
The RSBT is a *great* deal airier than a kayfun; I keep my kayfun's airflow closed off just a bit more than halfway, but with the RSBT I can only leave one hole open, and even that is a bit airier than I prefer. The vape quality seems quite close to a dripper's, IMO.
You said you didn't want a big tank, but the RSBT holds about 4ml, like a kayfun, which is the only reason I do consider it a viable option for tank crackers -- it's got that pyrex tank and holds a lot.
It's a nice tank, and not expensive at all -- dfwvapor has it for $24.99.

I just assumed it was plastic. Thanks. If it doesn't need a needle to fill, it will be my next atty.
If the 3D weren't such a pain to build and fill, it would definitely be my favorite.
Looks big enough for a regular bottle tip. Although I wonder if it's too deep in there for a bottle to reach. Probably okay for a pipet/dropper. I wish there was a "nano" version. I'd sacrifice a ml or so for a shorter tank. I'm guessing it will be about the size of a Kayfun (which I have a nano kit on). This will be the biggest one I own.

Same here. All my Kayfuns have nanos and even nano flat caps. The Pontus would be even better (for me) with a half tank height. Who knows. They might even make a nano kit for it at some point if it takes off.
I just pictured you grabbing this after the pic and off in the water it goes Ha Ha .... Same feeling when you see someone standing on the edge of a building in a movie, my stomach kinda turned. Great looking device. A Reo?
