Time to play around, opinions needed.

[Saltydogg]

I have the Subtank Mini along with the Istick 30 and I've been building the rba. I want to play around with some other RTA atomizers and I deathly plan on getting the Lemo 2. I have been looking at other RTA's, and I can get the Russian 91% for $50 or the goblin for around $30.
Can someone compare either of these to the STM with the RBA? I know there is a newer version of the Russian available but I don't want to drop more than $50 for a tank. I am mainly looking for flavor and build quality. I primarily vape 50/50 juice. Is it even worth getting either of these two when I already have the STM?

The nice thing about vaping is that everyone is free to decide what they like best. So understanding that it's my opinion only, anything is better than a subtank/atlantis! (uses twice the juice to produce less flavor)

My personal preference for a RTA in your price range is the KayFun 3.1 clone made by HCigar. ($50)

What don't you like about the Subtank?

What don't you like about the Subtank?

It uses up twice as much juice, and produces less flavor.

I agree with 1/2 the above statement. It does use more juice (than compared to others) but I think the 0.5 ohm coil produces quite a lot of flavor. But like tj said "to each their own"!!

You should also consider how you like to draw when it comes to evaluating RTA's. Some are designed for MTL, others for direct to lung.

Mouth to lung type

You are not going to find many members who can compare these two tanks.

The Russian is a single coil RTA designed for MTL. Because of the shallow juice channels and resistricted airflow builds above ~1.4Ω world best. The Gobblin is a dual coil RTA designed for lung hits. Although you could build a single coil but I don't think you have the option of using just one airflow hole. The airhole is a HUG cyclops style and you can close it down but I have no idea how that would work for MTL given the huge juice channels. It may be prone to leaking if you close the airflow down too far.

Go out and watch some youtube reviews on both of these as far as how they both are to build on and how they are to vape with.

I'm not a MTL person. I have the KFL+ v2 but don't use it much because I can't direct lung inhale with it.
