The Helheim runs good with single coil if you want an rdta.

I did look at the Helheim but disregarded since it was a dual coil,I'm use to using single coils between 2.5mm and 3mm at the most.
Will keep on looking at the Helheim thou,i mean if you say it's good then it's good advice,you da' master ;)

In my personal opinion for RDTAs the easiest refilling method are the ones that have it on the lower half of the rdta right above or connected directly to the tank. They can be accessed without messing around with the deck. You usually just slide something over and fill it. And oddly enough none of them have leaked on me. The ones where you have to pull the top cap off and fill it through the deck annoy me. I'm sure there are some that have done that very well but the ones that I have come in contact with almost universally had no air outlet sufficient enough to keep the juice from coming back out of the hole I'm filling it in due to air pressure or whatever causes that.

I like the style when it's something like the cabeo is I find them to be easier to use easier to fill less fussy. Maybe the cabeo isn't for you But something with that sort of feeling system personally I find better. It takes me less than 15 seconds to access the refill hole e-juice my tank up and close the access hole so it doesn't matter that it's kind of a small though I also think that the stats on it are incorrect and it holds a lot more e-juice than they claim it does

As a side note I read something that you wrote a while back that referenced a little bit of tremor in your hands. I have a friend that has a degenerative palsy of some sort and it gets worse every year. Their medical bills pile up they can't afford to buy commercial coils it just is an extra cost. They can't use most rebuildables or they can but it just takes too much time out of their day to try to do it what they found works is rebuildables that allow you to put the cap on the deck of the coil and then just cut across to fix the cotton. An example of this though it might not be ideal is the UB pro RBA. There's also another one that I can't remember the name of right now that's older there's a lot of clones around people really like it but the names escaping me. But he finds it very easy because he doesn't have to faff about with the damn cotton. He uses the same ID coil every single time and he's got some agleted cotton that is made to fit that exact inner diameter and he just shoots it through puts the cap on snip snip and it's done. I usually do put the coils in for him though but they last three or four months with his usage. Just a thought. It's something that you may not have come across.

The Cabeo did seem interesting,would have to be the clone thou,can't afford an original one.
Not a fan thou of removing the top cap to refill thou,I'm way to set in my ways of just unscrewing the top and filling the tank up *shrug*

About the hands,well the hands are normally ok,it's my fingers that move a bit...not like a tremor but a slight vibration,that is the best way i can explain it.
Usually blame my wicking issues on that but hey i can just be plain bad at it lol,who knows.

It's just that all RTA's i have used so far are way too finicky for me,gotta take out all the tools and my mat, clean the tank.dry burn the coil,dry it all off then start with the wicking...after the wicking see how it goes and if it's not right well off we go and it's just too much.

Really appreciate the nod towards the Cabeo,will look more into.

cheers

    I've been running the Helheim with a single coil on the Centaurus squonk mod and really like it.

    I just realized I messed up and referenced the cabeo when I meant to say the kumo because they're pretty much the same And the kumo isn't a clone technically because it is a license production in partnership with the original cabeo manufacturer so I don't think it qualifies as a clone but it is less expensive. That being said you could probably get a clone and it would be even less expensive. It's quite easy to refill. I don't find that it's really great for really really really big clouds or anything like that but I'm not a really big cloud person I'm more of a restricted direct lung person so it suits my needs nicely I found one used here as a matter of fact got a bang up price on it

    Have a look at this if you want a single coil rdta. You can run it as a tank or as a bf tank. There's also a 1.5 version.

    But I also second the Kumo rdta, no wire coils and fantastic flavour.

    The only downside with rdtas is rewicking. You don't have a separate tank you can unscrew the deck from, like an rta does. So when you rinse off a coil, you lose whatever juice was in the tank.

    If you want less mess and less fuss - then an rda and a Pulse 2 mod may do the trick.

    Artemis is my favorite rdta. Honestly I seldom rinse my coils; usually just swab coil and deck with a paper towel & alcohol and then do another light dry burn before wicking.

    A lot of replies with good info.
    Unfortunately it's past 11 here and tomorrow i gotta be up and running at 6 am to take my pops to get some tests done,you know bloodwork,an ECG,etc,etc.
    Top of that i am feeling under the weather so i think i caught the flu or something,made myself a nice camomile with honey and I'm to bed.

    Will come back and reply to y'all.
    Did watch some videos of the Artemis and Helheim but i gotta say the Kumo is the one i like the most,if i get one this is the last chance i am giving to anything i gotta put coils in and then wick.
    Thought i would be over this already but gee more than 3 years vaping and i still don't have a go to atty.

    Oh well,off to catch some ZZzz's,talk to y'all tomorrow

    The Artemis RDTA is a definite flavour banger!! That's in my rotation and I only use single coil tanks, as I've mentioned before the new Brunhilde 103 RTA will suit you greatly;)
    A few great options there Buddy and they're all very easy to wick and coil:)
