    That counts it out for me then, I only MTL vape, the search continues :blink:

    You won't have a problem at all getting a Really good MTL vape from the Haku Riviera, @stabwood is good is talking out of his a**(as usual:lol:)
    I had one as my staple RDTA's for a long time before the lovely Brunhilde came along, it's an Awesome tank:thumb:
    Here's a few pics of the airflow.

    The outside fully open, then closed off nice and tight. It also has inside adjustment screws to close the airflow off even more if desired:)
    I strongly recommend this one Mate!

    You like the Juma? They are very nice:rolleyes:
    The shipping fee for VA is bloody ridiculous:w00t: You should be able to get the Apex elsewhere for cheaper shipping, I know that OZ has them:thumb:
    Check out the Distributors on the VA website:)
    Yes, I do like the Juma. Every now and then I go and window shop at the stabwoods UK site. They have many very lovely mods.

    I did check out the distributor page at VA. Thing is they have it for at least $20 less than everyone else. Factor in the shipping and I'm still near the total cost as VA. I am still looking around. If I find one cool, if not that's ok too.

    I do have the shiny bug for something... just not sure what. My last shiny purchase was in early March I think. o_O

    Bookmarked this baby yesterday...

    It's a mech squonker made out of Bocote wood and made by XMTC. Found it on sale too. Good wood! ;) They did a really nice job with the tree engraving. But IDK, I have plenty regulated and mech squonkers already.

    Very good! And simple to build. I have three of them, one is the older 22mm. I always have one or two in use. The only thing, the airflow control is only cosmetic and totally nonfunctional. An MTL pull isn't possible (unless you do it by choice of drip tip). So it's a slightly restricted DL only.

    I've got this one:
    $12.00 Haku Riviera Styled RDTA Rebuildable Dripping Tank Atomizer - 2ml / 316 stainless steel + glass / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Free Shipping
    And on top of adjusting the airflow hole with the cap, it has on deck adjustment. You turn the flathead screws on the deck to cutoff the airflow channels. So it's very much a MTL through to RDL draw.
    I borrowed this pic from this thread at FT - cuz it's a prettier coil than mine :sneaky:
    20190614-145156.jpg

    It's a great example of using simple engineering to tailor a deck for more ppl, without using airflow inserts.

    I agree that the flavour is amazing. And if you haven't already, then get the Haku Venna RDA which has the same amazing flavour.

    Daaaamn. The screw on mine is fake. There's no inner gold screw that changes the airflow. If you got one that's functional, you got a prized possession! :( And I might've even skipped the one you picked because it was a little cheaper thinking it therefore was built cheaper, and went with the one I linked. UUgh. Diabolical!

    But that means you have to leave it in the mod all the time.

    Yes, but the little gizmo that stays in the mod is pretty unobtrusive. Well worth sparing the port.

    And that brings another added benefit - keeps pocket lint and general dust out of your usb port.

    Isn't the Haku Riviera the one you can't set on its side or juice will leak all over? IIRC you need to fashion a plug for the fill port??? Or was that a different one?

    Think that's why I skipped that one. The RDTA's I have came with plugs for the fill ports.

    Your screws might be really really tight, I know both of mine were:thumb:

    Unfortunately, that's not the case. I noticed something was off with the one I got because the hole was matte silver through and through - no gold. I decided not to be bothered by it because I'm not a MTLer anyway. :closedeyes: But now that I know you can get an actual functioning one and for cheaper??? I'm kinda o_O.

    The YFTK 22mm version is definitely functional. Might be the safer bet for you @Nailz
    $22.90 YFTK Haku Riviera Styled RDTA Rebuildable Dripping Tank Atomizer - 316 stainless steel / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Free Shipping
    or the other 22mm I got:
