Subtank Mini or Lemo Drop

I can only say I own the sub tank mini and it works great. Easy to build and works great with 1.2-1.5 ohm coils. Air flow is easy to adjust as well and the price is cheap in my view.
I only have the ST mini and love it, its nice that it comes with the OCC heads that are easily re-built as well as the RBA section. I think that makes it a very easy tank to use and maintain.
Thanks for the info. guys! My sweet spot is ~. 7-~1.3Ω. So both can handle that with no problem, but from what I read the ST II is better for higher Ω. What I like about the Lemo Drop is that I read since the drip tip is closer to the coil(s)/wicks so it gets better flavor and cloud. It's a hard choice, but since most of you have the SB II, I think I might have to go with that, or maybe I'll just go with both since they're both reasonably priced.
I'm currently using a .4 ohm coil on my STM RBA and it's kickin some .... at only 20 watts.
So I was doing a little more research and found out about the Youde Goblin. It seems very similar to the Lemo Drop. It holds 3ml and has huge air holes. Does anyone have one of these bad boys? If so, how is it? Is it as good as the ST Mini or Lemo Drop?
I have both, and I totally prefer the Lemo Drop.
I think they are both good enough that it really just boils down to personal preference...you really can't go wrong trying either of them (or both), imo.
I will say though that the ST (in wide-open mode) is much noisier than the Lemo. Also, it likes to spritz e-liquid in your mouth. If those things bother you, then go with the Lemo.

I have both the Subtank mini and goblin. I'm still perfecting my build with the goblin, but I can tell you that it is similar in airflow to the STM. The real benefit to the STM is that is your build, for whatever reason, gives up the ghost and you aren't able to rebuild it at that moment, you just pop in an OCC coil and you're good to go til you get home.
I have all three.
All are good but the goblin for me is in a different league.
It is dual coil and need to get the wicking correct , do this method = https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOzZw8ppG-0
If I had to choose from the other two I'd go for the lemo , unless you didn't always want to build coils.
ETA - Well the lemo allows for more variety in builds due to larger area to work with. Subtank has more air if you like that.
Its not a one is great one is not between those two , could see people liking either one ( just to add confusion to you )

I have a Lemo Drop and a Goblin on the way. The Lemo Drop is amazing, like my next tank'll probably be another Lemo Drop. I've heard the Goblin's closer to an RDA ("different league"), but will blow through the juice. I can't comment on it personally since I'm waiting for it to arrive...ergh. I have a ECF friend who has the ST and the LD and he seems to prefer the Lemo for flavor. From what I've read about the ST, it probably will blow better clouds due to airflow. Another potential plus for the ST would probably be those OCC coil heads for when you just want to plug n play.
I have been watching this thread with interest and wondering if Kafun compares to any of these two. Opinions anyone? I like a relatively tight draw and vape around 2.4 ohms.
I have a kayfun light v2 clone.
For me its way too restrictive in airflow and i don't care for having to peek through the tiny clear section to see how much liquid is left.
If your used to tight draws and like them its ok but if you use a lemo or something with more air and go back to it you check to see if the air is blocked.
I have a couple Goblins...great attys...easy to build on, but so are the sub tanks...personally I like the Goblin better, especially wicked with rayon.
I have the Subtank and Subtank Mini and Lemo Drop and Atlantis and Russian 91 and Kayfun and, and, and, and..............Anyway, Drop for flavor, Mini for reliability(stock coil) when I'm out running around town, Regular Subtank when I'm at home because i don't have to refill the tank as much. Russian, Kayfun, and Atlantis have been sitting collecting dust for a while now. My biggest boogaboo now is this back and forth business between Kanthal and Ni200 coil builds....can't decide which i like better but leaning toward sticking with Kanthal, plus i'm afraid that one of these days i am going to forget which tank i have the NI200 build in and fire it on the wrong device. That and the temp protection thing with NI200 builds is kind of a pain in the ..., I think. Haven't tried the Goblin yet, hopefully soon.
I have a Subtank Mini and a Kayfun 4. If you like a tight draw and higher ohms, then the Kayfun is probable more for you.
I wouldn't recommend the goblin as a first RTA - it's dual coil, which means the coils have to be as close to similar as posible, and the build deck is tiny. And quite a few people have problems wicking it. And it's out of stock everywhere. The new version is about 4.2 ml. Airflow is excelent but quite a few of us have leaking isues.
I don't have a ST, but I do have a Lemo drop. Filling is a PITA as is airflow adjustment.
Does the ST allow you to access the build deck without draing the tank? If so, that's the one to go for. Wicking can take a bit of practise to get right, and you don't want to be wasting juice to rewick.
I have a Sub Tank Mini,and a Lemo (not drop) and like them both for different reasons!
Ease of rebuilding/installing coils,ST hands down! Juice capacity,about the same with either one. Build quality,the ST edges the Lemo out on this one also. Not that the Lemo is bad,just not quite as well finished as the ST. Ease of filling,the Sub Tank gets the nod again,unless you carry the little Phillips head screwdriver,and a needle bottle with you. Performance,vapor/flavor wise,there's no doubt the Lemo blows the sub tank out of the water on this!
The vapor/flavor the Lemo puts out is killer! If I had to go to only one RTA,it would most likely be the Sub Tank,for it's flexability,and ease of use,but I sure would miss my Lemo! Just get them both,and you will be good to go!
