RTA for beginner's?

[deviantplatypus]

As a beginner I started with the Crius. I get some fantastic flavor on it when I get things right but I've struggled with wicking. I'm not sure if it's a comment on the tank or just my own skills.

Or simplicity, I love my STM and top tank. Even I can't screw it up!

Great recommendations! I would also recommend the STM and Bachelor. If you think you'd want to still use pre-built heads while learning how to build, the STM is good. The Bachelor is a dedicated RTA and has superb flavor and dense vapor. It's a great post less deck and you can fit bigger single coils in it. I have had one since theyou came out and I love it. Fwiw, all my other tanks are dualooking but the Bachelor is in rotation always.

Note that if you wish to use temperature control in the future the Kayfun v4 is not the best choice. It's known to be wonky in tc.

Sorry for the late reply, was really busy this weekend. But wow! I didn't expect to get so many suggestions! Once again I am in love with this forum

After careful reading and consideration I think I've rounded my choices (for the time being) to the Bachelor, Bellus, or Kayfun Monster v3 for my first true RTA. I decided I'd start out with those single coils deck, and Bellus is an exception because it comes with a ceramic blocker. But does anyone know if there a other duel / velocity deck RTA's that also comes with a ceramisc blocker?

As for my choice on the pre-built+RBA base tank, I was between Toptank Mini and TFV4 and was leaning towards the toptank. But just yesterday a friend of mine showed me his Uwell Crown and it only took me 1 puff to know that it greatly supasses the toptank in terms of flavor and vapor production! Maybe on par with the TFV4. Does anyone have any experience building on the Crown's RBA base?
If the Crown can combine the easiness of toptank with the flavor and vapor of the TFV4, I might as well buy that instead..lol

Not sure if it is ceramic, but the Goblin Mini v1 & v2 both have a blocking cap so that you can build a single coil.

Btw, you meant Kayfun Mini v3, not "Monster"' right?

But i heard the Goblin Mini's have small building decks?

I actually meant meant the Monster
Is there any big difference between the two?

People can say what they will about the Subtank mini, but at a low wattage, that thing has been with me for a while. Now the flavor is nowhere near as good as some others, such as the tfv4 or Goliath v2. But it's very reliable when you can't get a good build on the Goliath, or the tfv4 decides it wants to leak like a broken faucet. Those are the three I own

Flavor: Goliath v2 / Tfv4
Reliability: Subtank Mini
