I have a few SJMY 2k16 Doggy's and Dvarw's (older and FL). 2k16's are a fine airy MTL (2.5mm AF). You can tighten down the AF ring. Also have the B-a-s-t-a-r-d rta which is nearly as airy as a 2k16. It has topfill while the 2k16 is bottom fill. It's Animodz latest rta (they made the Doggies). The B-tard is just as easy to build on as the 2k16's (virtually the same deck). Both will take a 2.5mm ID coil. AF on the Dvarw's can be made the same as a Doggy/B-tard with optional AF inserts.

@Redbird11, of the three, if I was looking for an rta for flavor I would go with the updated Dvarw MTL FL. The updates alone make it worth it. I have a real Dvarw MTL FL and bought some of the AF inserts (for a more open MTL and RDL). Still running mine w/the 1.2mm insert. They did a great job updating the Dvarw with the FL. If looking at the older ones the Coppervape Dvarw MTL is quality.

For flavor, the Dvarw's (older or FL) are very tough to beat. Doggies are easy to build on etc and produce very good flavor but are not in the same league flavor wise as a Dvarw (nor a Kayfun/Tripod/Pocket/Project X) IMO. But I still love and use the 2k16's and B-tard. ;)

FT lists a Dvarw MTL FL with all the AF inserts. I wouldn't be too concerned about a lack of reviews as FT only recently listed the FL's. Doubt anyone has theirs yet. FWIW SXK and YFTK are usually always 1:1. I would lean towards either of those. Coppervape and YFTK made solid older Dvarw MTL/DL clones. If you are looking for a proper MTL you will need the 0.8mm AF insert. Dvarw MTL default is 1.2mm.

Good luck :D
Thanks for the information and the feedback with your experiences with the different RTAs. I was all set to go with a few of the 2016 doggies, but you have now messed that up! I'm kidding of course. I am probably just gonna grab the FL Dvarw and a couple of the 2016 doggie tanks too.

    I had this problem before. What I did was to soak them in the sink with some vinegar/dish soap in warm water for an hour. Any stuck glue that's left over cleans up with Isopropyl alcohol pretty easily.
    Sounds a good idea. I may have to wait till the Mrs goes out. If I did that while she was home and she went in the kitchen I can already hear her saying........"what the hell are you doing in my sink". Might be the easier option to just buy new bottles lol.

    Et tu, Fidola? :facepalm:

    I feel so lonely and inadequate... :lol:

    Does anyone use one of those shortfill bottle cap openers and if so do they work like well enough to warrant buying them? I usually just dig a screwdriver up under the cap but I feel like there's probably a better way and sometimes the cap flies sometimes I poke the screwdriver through the cap and I find myself doing this a lot.

    I got one from FT--a long time ago, and it works for me. I retired my Swiss army knife, nail clippers, tiny screwdriver and other such implements. :lol:

    Do you know much about the vape store Test Vapor store Webpage.. where the Klone and the Woody are advertised for sale Mate?
    Or anyone else for that matter:)
    Never ordered from them, Yet. They have some cool gear though. Damokee Vapor is located in Maryland. I found them the same way I found The Vape Factor last year. TVF had a bunch of authentic mechs on sale for some crazy prices. Took a chance and ended up with several fine ones. :D

    Looking at their store I would not hesitate to buy from them.

    I know exactly what you mean. I hate throwing the old bottles away and kept them all in a bag for when I was ready to spend the day at the kitchen sink.
    Half hour later I thought sod this, too much faffing about. The first few labels came off clean but then the rest I was pulling my hair out.
    In my anger I threw the lot in the bin.
    Easier to just buy new bottles which is a shame as I wanted to do my bit for the environment.

    Throw them in a pot of very hot (just boiled) water, let them stew for 30 min or so, then use an abrasive pad and a bit of Goo Gone or nail polish remover (acetone) or Isopropyl alcohol to remove what's left--paper and adhesive. Rinse and you're golden. I like to upcycle all kinds of glass jars and bottles and this method works for me.

    I think you lot are trying to get me into trouble with me Mrs lol. Look out for the headline.......man attacked with kitchen knife for stealing her nail polish remover and using her saucepan lol.
    Joking aside, I will give it a try..........when she's gone out.

    I really HATE throwing plastics away but new ones are just so darn cheap and don’t have any sticky residue on them.

    My city recycles--all plastics (and clean paper) go in the recycling bin. I hate plastic and use mostly glass for storage.

    Oops. Sorry. I should have read the entire conversation before posting. And yes, that's what I do. I use Dawn for soaking.

    What did you enjoy the most about mixing when you first started to really have fun with it? Go back to the beginning to find your passion again. Or something like that :)

    Or switch to unflavored. Really. Very nice vape--and trouble free. And your coils will last forever. :D

    Im fortunate that my town recycles just about about everything. So we got two large bins and we have recycling days for paint and other gross stuff from the garage or basement!!

    Lucky you! We have to take hazardous materials to our local recycling center (5-min drive)--paint, batteries, electronic waste, etc. Everything else goes in the recycling bin and gets picked up once a week.
