Yeah that is something i am starting to come to terms with,hard to find the perfect RTA for me,if its not one thing its the other.

RTA's? yep,gave those a try and lasted about 2 days.
The whole dripping thing just isn't for me,even if i'm at my desk in front of the pc its just so tedious i couldn't really bare to keep on using an rda.

Actually back in the day when i upgraded from my first vaping device i did get an rda (think it was a Wasp Nano),after 2 days i just took it back to the shop and gave it to my friend,he gave me a nice discount on a RTA.

Then there is the whole issue of me being a man bag user,with my RTAs even if the mod is inclined i won't get any leaking inside the bag,with an RDA i just have to vape it dry so i can put away if i'm going into a shop or something.

Just to much hassle for me to be honest,but i do appreciate the advice thou,thanks for looking out for me ;)

I squonked for years and switched because of I hated filling the bottle. When the top airflow RTAs came around I never went back....But I did buy a new VV pulse V2 to try out. It really is hard to beat the flavor of an rda. A few new smallish, single coil rdas are coming via the slow boat too (just in case the mail ban shut down all avenues).
I even have a dovpo SQ mech squonker coming. I have a hard time saying no to 21700 mods.
That said I think there is a good chance you would like the augvape single coil Intake RTA. They are just very hard to find. Not the MTL but the top flow Intake. It seems I got the last two from FT a while back. I search for them almost daily so maybe one comes up. May be worth asking around your area. They are a lot less expensive than the QP MR. I would say the flavor is very close. I didn't care for the double coil intake but didn't really try too hard.
Hang in there. We will find your dream vape. With RTAs it takes time.

    I get why they say that, but it really doesn’t make much sense to me. I think my immune system is working alright - I haven’t caught anything in years, and it’s not because I haven’t been exposed.
    And from what I understand, not having a bad reaction to the vax doesn't mean we didn’t gain immunity.

    I read that too a while back that the stronger your immune system that you were more likely to have a reaction.

    I like the single coil intake and have several. I thought the serpent elevate was a good one too. My favorite single coil rta is the original Zeus. Very easy to build and pretty decent flavor.

    Hey buddy.

    Yeah the top airflow was one of the things i liked about the Juggy MR.
    And wow what a coincidence,actually the Augvape Intake was first in my list even before the Juggy MR but after spending a couple of days looking for it a gave up,nowhere to be found.

    I left a message to some of the Spanish vape shops i order from about the Augvape Intake but so far no luck,call them once in a while and none of their distributors has any,shame really...did hear good things about it.

    Maybe i will be lucky and enjoy the JuggerKnot Mini clone i ordered from Fasttech,if i do like it (deck similar to the MR) i might order another one right away,gotta get spares if you find an atty you like,right?

    And yeah you are right,just gotta be patient and hope for the best.

    I would recommend you give squonking a try. It's easier to build an RDA than an RTA, the flavor is great because the juice is always fresh. I hate dripping, I find it a hassle to try to keep up with the juice bottle. I also find that as long as I dont over squonk I can lay the device down without any leakage. I don't find filling the bottle that much harder than filling a tank and the volume is greater, usually 7-8 ml.

    Oh I plan to get back into it. I still have 3 Reos and a VT inbox. With the new RDAs and two more squonkers my thumb will get tougher. :thumbs:
    I found a vapefly galaxies finally so maybe that works with the occasional squonk. Interesting concept.

    I will keep looking. The augvape site sends me to this but of course no US shipping :(
    augvape Official Store - Amazing prodcuts with exclusive discounts on AliExpress 

    smokstore had a few last week but it looks like they are out. I had trouble trying to check out so I gave up.

    If you were closer I would send you one of mine. I hoarded them and the spare tank replacements.

    P.S: Tempted to buy another Juggy Mini from another vape shop...done some research and haven't seen anyone else with the same problem i had which leads me to believe it was just a bad batch.

    I'd definitely order another Juggerknot MR RTA, but get it from either a UK or French store. That way you know it will be a different batch to your 2 Spanish ones. I've got it bookmarked from here:
    QP Design JuggerKnot Mini Remastered RTA

    Thanks for the link AngeNZ.

    I have to agree with you,might have to order it from France or the UK vape store.
    Only problem is that the serial numbers of the atty are not written outside the box so kinda hard to know where to order,its kinda of a ''wish for the best situation'' type of situation.

    Anyway for now it is a moot point since i am dead poor from buying my pop his bike (which i still haven't put together,2nd Covid shot got me curled up in my bed he he).

    Will probably start saving soon and see if i can get it in a couple of months,don't know why but so far it has been the only atty the truly hit the sweet spot.

    Deck is exactly the same. Difference is the MR top fill, af is slightly more restricted, and capacity. OG side fill is a bit tricky until you get used to it. Go slow with the filling and tilt the tank just a tad while filling.

    That a mech mod buddy? i like the looks of it :)

    Yep,heard the same thing in some reviews.
    Just say you gotta watch for the ''bubble'',but once you get the hang of it you golden.

    And thanks for telling me the deck is exactly the same,thought it was ''similar'' looking hence probably the same performance as the Juggy MR but now that i know it's exactly the same deck i cannot wait to get my hands on it.

    Thanks. Yes, it is a mech. It's a dotMod Petri lite v2. 18650. Hybrid. It hits nice and hard. I have a couple of them. Other one is a soft rose gold. Found them on clearance for dirt cheap, $20 each, over the last couple years.

    ETA: A hybrid mech mod differs from a traditional mechanical mod in one way: there is no insulated 510 contact in the top cap of the mod. Your RBA is making a direct connection to the battery. With a hybrid mech your RBA should have a 510 pin that extends at least 1mm. That is super important for safety.

    That mod is a thing of beauty.

    I do like the way mech mods look but given my current situation my mind just isn't in the right place to own one of those,juggling so much at the moment that would just be adding more to it.

    But there is this regulated mod that looks like a mech mod,can't remember the name thou but i know it was high end.
    Polished silver i think and it had a DNA chip in it and a small screen on the side (no color),think it was upwards of 200 bucks or so but dang!! that thing looked beautiful,wish i could remember the name of it :confused::confused:

    Maybe once you get your current situation squared away you can get one. There are good stores in Europe who sell some decent mechs. If you've never used a tube mech I would advise getting one that has an insulated 510 contact on the top cap for a first mech. Not having a hybrid cap would be one less thing to be worried about.

    This is the rose gold Petri with a Van & Del Soul S RDA. My photo doesn't do the color justice.
