I've been doing a lot of research and I think an rta is the way for me to go. I've been using a nautilus for a couple months until it broke on me and I went to dripping but I want something that I can take with me and I don't have to bring a bottle of juice with me as well (my pockets are full as it is). Anything on the cheaper side would be greatly appreciated (I'm on a college student's budget). I heard the ELeaf Lemo was really good. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hey yall, my first post in this forum

I got a lemo a few days ago and it was my first RTA. I haven't rebuilt it yet, because the stock coil seems to work quite well. Like everyone says, the airflow is amazing, the widest hole in my nautilus mini feels like a cocktail straw now. I highly recommend and am already thinking of buying a couple more.

Rip trippers pointed out the loose air hole adjuster as a con. It does feel more loose than I would like, but it hasn't jiggled loose on me so far. Also, make sure to tighten down the tank filling screw pretty darn tight. I was used to the nautilus mini and was scared of tightening anything to hard. As I was driving at night my hand started to get sticky. I pulled over and cleaned everything up and tightened down the screw and no more leak.

Big deck, easy to build, easy to fill and you can rewick and coil with the tank full, the eXpromizer

I'll second this. Expromizer (with the glass tank) is my favorite RTA. User-friendly, easy to build, great flavor, and looks great once you ditch the stock drip tip and tank section.

Better yet, lose the screw and use the tool-less fill ring. It's a silicone ring with bumps on it from the spare parts bag.

I have two Infinite clone Kayfun Lites and an EHpro Kayfun nano. The lites come with drop kits so you can use either the full size 4.5ml tank or the 2.7ml drop kit. The decks are a little small but Madvapes has a video on how to build on the nano that makes it easy. And when you're wicking, remember... fluff, don't stuff. :)

Im very happy with my Kanger Subtank. I have not even messed with the factory coils, they be hard to find. This was my first rebuildable, very easy. First coil out of the gate was nailed. 7 wraps of 28ga kanthal around a #36 drill bit spot on 1.4 ohms after a little pinching with ceramic tweezers. Because it is my first rebuildable, ive rebuilt it 3 times for zero reason other than to practice with only 1 screwed up coil. Rewicking is super easy. I dont know how the flavor stacks up to others, but 1.4 ohm coil on 13watts is working like a dream. Best $50 bucks ive spent so far in vaping.

I second the SubTank. Coils are around 4$ here around me, and offer no fuss easy vaping. But should I need/want to rebuild, the RTA option is invaluable. holds 6ml of juice with coils, 4 with rta, and is glass/SS, so its built to last.

Might try drilling a hole in each of the top screws to let me stick a syringe to fully fill that tank tho, bet I couldm akei t hold close to 8 mls then XD
