    Thanks much, Daniel :wub: I’ve heard a lot of good things about that one. Any thought on a rda?

    Unfortunately I can't really recommend an RDA for as I've settled on Brunhilde for a long time now. One I was always very happy with and would definitely recommend is Asmodus .Blank RDA, it's a fantastic single coil flavour banger;)
    As for your RDA's @AngeNZ will definitely be able to recommend a few good ones for you:)

    Good evening shiny folks. I need suggestions on a RTA and RBA that would be good for me. I do not want huge tanks or dual coils. I’m MTL but I do not like a tight draw. I can wrap a coil in my sleep but my hands aren’t as nimble as they used to be so I looking for an easy install of the coils.

    Any of the Asmodus single coil tanks : the .Blank, the Bunker, the C4....

    How come you guys are getting your FT gear in days?!? I waited almost two months!!! I mean I'm thankful to the person who took it upon himself to take my package in his rowboat and row all the way from a Chinese port to Cali... but I would think FT could let them use the outboard motor by now! I'm going to start a petition for those heading to the US be equipped with outboard motors! Who's with me on this??? Show of hands!!! :thumb: :lol:

    p.s. I hope you like it. :headbang:
    The key for us (and NZ) is to choose Australian Expedited Air as the shipping option. There's an equivalent Expedited Air for the US too I think. Ours is on page 2 of the shipping options at checkout. I used to wait months for the slow boat before I discovered this option in about mid 2020. Never been let down by them since.

    EDIT Free shipping and E Packet still take an age to get here. I chose e packet by mistake in Jan this year and it took 5 weeks.

    Fran I highly recommend the Abyss/Ether RBA combo. Lots of air options from genuine MTL up to an open RDL. Great flavour and easy to build.

    RDAs:

    If going through FT is OK, then the:
    $13.87 SXK Haku Venna Styled RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - 316 stainless steel / 22mm diameter / w/ BF pin at FastTech - Free Shipping
    is perfect for MTL through to tight RDL. Best flavour RDA with even a 28g 3mm id coil. Decent size well, and a doddle to build.

    Vapefly MTL Holic RDA and Vapefly Galaxies MTL RDTA

    And the Vandy Vape Requiem RDA has a MTL and an RDL cap. It's a really shallow deck though, so it would suit flavour testing or squonking.

    RTAs:

    Innokin Ares 2 RTA and a Dvarw MTL FL RTA from FT:
    $21.31 Dvarw MTL FL Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 2/3.5/5ml(22*19mm (OD*ID)) / w/ 10*air inserts / stainless steel + glass / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Free Shipping
    And @Redbird11 has tried a few MTL RTAs as a newbie so he can chime in on other ideas :thumbs:

    I’ll look into that too, Pigs :) Much thanks.

    NZ doesn't have Expedited Air. But my last 2 orders using epacket were only 2 weeks. Maybe the NZ orders are piggybacking (excuse my pun) on your Oz Expedited rocket ship :cool:

    Boost Plus and RDTA Pod
    Plus.jpg


    I threw a rush build into the RDTA pod, and I'm already impressed with the flavour. Airflow wise, I don't find it too airy :facepalm: I'm using it with the top honeycomb row blocked off and bottom air.

    The bottom airflow hole is 4mm, but it does fit the inserts from my clone Tripod RTA.

    Next rewick I'll try it with an insert to see if it makes any difference.

    I haven't tried the drop-in coil pod yet. I got the Plus as it uses B series coils which are more in my wattage range.

    The mod itself is so comfy to hold and use, and lightweight. I love how they've made a 4ml RDTA and an 18650 mod have such a low profile :thumbs:

    Woot woohoo! My GT4 clone out for delivery today. (thanks for the recommendation @stabwood is good )

    As usual FT are on the ball. Placed my order on 11 May, they shipped it 12 May and I should have it this arvo. That's seven days from cart to door for $5 shipping.
    When he mentioned the gt4 I remembered I had one on my wishlist at ft. Of course I put it in a cart with some odds and ends like orings and a couple dts. This one has real glass; the one I have from 3f was listed as a glass tube but is plastic. Fingers crossed I like it and the glass fits the other. Next order more glass for both.

    I just checked and the FT specs on my version of the clone says glass even though the pics look plastic. Postie should be here within the next couple of hours so will know then. Hope it's glass!!

    Did you already know or was that another Ange discovery? Bloody brilliant!:thumb:

    Like that deck. The way they've kind of scooped out a well between the wick ports and the AF looks leak resistant. Simple/clever

    3f had their's listed as glass until I complained. Now the listing doesn't tell you what material the tube is at all. FT is always upfront about such details so I'm betting glass. Hoping I find clear glass if it suits me. At least I can enjoy it vicariously through yours!:lol:

    I have the Taifun gt3 and love love love it (it's MTL to RL) If your clone is 1:1 you could likely get authentic replacement glass.
