Just ordered this. Dual coil too of course, but I'm thinking it's gonna be great for big singles. Easy dripper style wicking, fed by four juice ports.

Been vaping the Serpent pretty much since the day it was available. Not a single issue. 80 vg. Even with JFC only open halfway I have never had a dry hit. To me, the flavor is excellent. Such a quiet air flow, wide open or shut down half way...perfect. 2.5 or 3mm clapton is the easiest coil in the world to maintain and wick.

Tried the Wine...no flavor in comparison to the Serpent IMO. Also the noisiest air flow I have ever used. I did one tank and put it on the shelf. Maybe I should have given it another shot, but that sound just bugged the heck out of me.

Good to know. First side by side comparison of Serpent and Wine I've heard.

Also wanted to add the Aqua V2 to the list. It can be set up for either single or dual coils, and it's definitely designed for MTL vaping. Great flavor and the draw is perfect for me. Build deck is a little tight, so you can't get too fancy with your coil, but simple coils are very easy to install. I have two that I'm using almost exclusively at the moment.

Would the Serpent work for MTL? Single coil doesn't necessarily = MTL anymore. A lot of the newer single coil tanks appear to be designed for bigger coils and DTL.

I am a MTL vaper and the Serpent is by far my favorite tank. You can close down the airflow if you want. I get better/more intense MTL flavor with moderate airflow and a big coil ran at 30-35 watts or so. I think the distinction of tanks for MTL versus DTL is kind of a moot point depending on how you build, adjust airflow, power, etc.

There are a ton!

For m2l flavor chasers I recommend most:

Rose v2
Gus Phenomenon Lite
Ataman 2
GP Spheroid

Those have clones as well although the Ataman clone seems difficult to find now. And I forgot the name of the inexpensive atty that's almost identical to the Spheroid.

In the budget category, look at:

EHPro Mini Buddha
HCigar HC Plus
Bellus using single coil adapter
Lemo v1 with airflow closed down
Aga t5
That Ataman 2 looks great for a Flavor chaser. And Super simple build Deck

The Tilemahos v2 Plus is an excellent RTA for Flavor and easy build as it comes, but if you want straight simplicity then purchase the upgrade Springomizer View media item 429390Fully adjustable Air&Juice control. Best Flavor in a RTA that I've ever experienced.

One more is the new Kayfun Mini v3. Another excellent Flavor Chaser RTA. But then Kayfun says it all IMHO

I keep coming back to my EHPro Kayfun 3.1 time after time. K4 is good and so is the LEMO 2 if you close down the air flow and change to a smaller bore drip tip. I tend to buy 80pg Hangsen juices and DTL with those can be on the harsh side, but more flavorful with MTL or nose exhale.

Too much VG inhaled leads to signs of a heavy lung feeling for me. I tend to inhale just enough to exhale through the nose most of the time. Flavor seems to be slightly better that way.

Ordered the Bachelor last night. Looks like a winner for my purposes and getting rave reviews on the thread for it. Got tracking from eciggity about an hour ago, so I should have it by Thursday. Coil installation looks dead simple, which was the deciding factor in choosing it over the Serpent.
