to try a different RTA, or stick with what works great now?

Well, just lost an auction for another Lemo :facepalm:, the one I have works great but I would like another tank since my other pre made coil tanks just don't do it for me any more. I really like rebuilding coils and such, but the only real beef I have with the Lemo is I cannot re-wick without draining the juice.
So is there a RTA that is single coil (as I'm not a cloud chaser, not a deal breaker), that I can re-wick without draining, and most importantly, does NOT cost an arm and a leg?? I mean I will pay for quality but $100+ for a tank is asinine. Maybe that's just me..

Thanks!

The eXpromizer allows for deck access any time, and is a reasonably priced authentic (order from eXvape). I think they are about $65.

Otherwise, you're going to be looking at clones in the Lemo price range. I can recommend the Rose v2, Aqua v2 (dual, but can be built single coil), EHPro Squape Reloaded (beware of other SqR clones), Taigun GT or GT II.

You can also access your build on the GP Spheroid and Heron. Watch the classifieds to get one under $100.

taifun gt II at FT with glass should be rather nice. it's 1:1 (as far as i can tell) without the logo and round carrying case. i have one with logo, and it's very nice vape. single coil and holds good amount of liquid. it's little bit on tight side as far as air flow is concerned, but it's on par with magma. it's 23mm.. so fits my penny clone nicely.

I have a similar dilemma... the only shortcoming I see with my custom Orchid V4's (m-tanks, top-fill caps, drilled out air holes to 7/64") is that the tanks are plastic. My juices aren't tank crackers, but I'd feel better with glass nonetheless. BPA is some nasty stuff and you can only hope you're not vaping it. With all that win, add its 5ml capacity and Kayfun parts interchangeability, and it's tough to find any reason to look around just yet... but I'm still looking... :)

Like Roxy mentioned earlier, the Tobeco Kayfun 4 is it for me.. I thought my previous KFL+s were it and vaping couldnt get better til I got the V4s..
They go through juice alot quicker, but the trade off is worth it and now Im pretty sure I have found the vape I love.. Before these I was always looking at the new attys constantly coming out but Im pretty much settled in Kayfun land now.. Already got 2 V4s, and just tonight cleaned and put my KFL's back in their boxes to retire them.. Going to pick up a couple more V4s (I gotta have a black and blue one to go with my 2 stainless ones right??) and I probably wont be buying another tank until the Kayfun 5 comes out, and thats only IF its yet another big game changer like the V4.. But right now the V4 is doing all I could ever ask for and then some!

Also got my Magma that I use at home and that thing is just awesome now that Ive got it all down.. Between those two, Im happy and havent really looked at another atomizer in like 2 months aside from drippers that might rival the Magma only without the constant leaking haha.

yea I own so many different tanks it is ridiculous. seriously. after using the tobeco kayfun 4 for a few weeks. I will say it will become my goto tank from now on. I really don't like all the gimmick sub ohm tanks, even tho I own a few. I just don't believe they hold up to a Reo, if you really want to sub ohm, get a dripper and do it right??? yea??/ the 2 KF4's I have now both have nickel builds in them. 9 wraps - 26 gauge - 3mm wicking is so easy, the juice control is a cinch once you figure out the 2 step process. and with temp control I never get burnt hits. yes it goes thru juice. but so does every other tank system that is working correctly and goes you that nice flavorful vape. and they are well priced for replicas, talking less than 40$ some places even have them around 20 or so......

just my 2 cents. hope you find your spot, and that vape we all seem to hunt

You want coil acess in a tank you are pretty limited to a Genesis tank. But the? why do you need to rewick mid tank anyway. Your telling me it's a deal breaker to dump a few pennys worth of juice???? You don't have an empty juice bottle around or a siringe?

It does give you the freedom to rewick when you have time. I've come to appreciate that more than I ever expected to. However, I also find I don't wash those attys as often. The Lemo gets washed every two tanks. And the ones I can access don't.

I have tried a lot of RTAs but I stopped buying about a month ago due to my Lemo. I now have a bunch of them. I don't need the latest and greatest, I just want what works well for me.

I did the same thing and got tired of the rta chase when I got my Orchid. Sat down with my Dremel and my drill and made it suit my needs. The draw on the kayfun's was way too tight for me others were a pita to build on. or leaked, there was always something. That's why I modded a $16 Orchid I figured that nothing was going to be exactly what I needed. I traded a handful of used once rta's for a couple of Atlantis tanks, one for the wife, one for me when I'm lazy.
