There is a second hand blue one in the classies at the moment. I bought one the other day as well so they do come up.

There are a couple of ways to use the Subtank coils.......the new Atmistique bridge and the kangaroo by Ohman. There will also be an Atmistique bridge for the Subtank rba.
Yes I saw the blue one yesterday. I would have snatched it up but have to wait till the first I am a little short of the asking price. Getting my head full of ideas for now it will be a long couple weeks then hope one is available.

I am sure it will work out for you. Everytime I have contemplated a purchase some thing has come up.

When I sold the Pico I was doing a little oh woe is me......I should have just bought another BB I looked in the classies and there was that silver one. It has a few dings but I plan on renovating it somehow. I will see when it arrives in a couple of weeks. :p

It's a shame that rebuildable tanks aren't class rated by air flow. I've always like tanks that pull kind of like a filter cigarette. If I can breathe through it like a large soda straw it's just not that much fun for MTL.

Seems that most of the new tanks cater to the cloud maker market.

True the market is more geared now for DL, but there are many new and older tanks for the MTL crowd. IMHO the best tanks for MTL are the Kayfuns, Russian 91% and the Squape for rebuilding. These are for me hands down the only MTL tanks that I use. Flavor for days!
I've heard, but not tried the E-Phoenix Hurricane and the GG Tilemahos are very good as well.

That's the kind of info I'm looking for. Recently, I've ordered a Lemo 2, Orchid V4, and a Lemo Drop. The Lemo's were OK, but not quite a Kayfun vape for a tootle puffer. The Orchid is nice, but I keep coming back to my Kayfun 3 and 4 for daily vaping.

I'm open to suggestions for Kayfun style alternates. I'll have to try the Squape.

I usually head to www.vaporange.com when I'm looking for a deal on an RTA/RDA. They've been out of stock on the majority of their stock for a long time. Either the Chinese New Year has created serious lag time this year or they aren't restocking a lot of their atomizers.

Lots of West coast vendors are in low stock situations.

Again,thanks...Waiting seems the hardest part.I guess this is kinda like what getting vape mail is like.
It left on the 18th so the wait begins........................................
The joytech aio is pretty small works OK but gets hot with the .6 coil going to try the 1 ohm as soon as they arrive will let everyone know how it goes

I really like the SS316 1ohm Coil for the Cubis, should work good in the AIO! :thumb:

You just need to find someone that vapes exactly the same as you. After trying a few I have a better idea on what to look for.

Look at the tootle gear thread.

The only rebuildables I have tried are the Kayfun V4, Hurricane and the Bellus. Couldn't get the Hurricane or the Bellus to play nice for me. Probably user error. The V4 can dial the airflow to where I want it. I am looking for more and going to get the mini V3 to try next month.

I like my Kayfun 4 tanks. I have two of those and they are a good vape.

My Ehpro Kayfun 3.1 is about 3 years old and still working fine. I guess it's just hard to wear out good quality stainless steel.

The Heatvape Defender I ordered on Ebay over the weekend arrived yesterday. I'm pleased with this little guy. Works great (as a Tootle Puffer I don't put heavy demand on things...but it's workin' fine for me!) and is pretty, too! I really like having the "fail safe" of a pass-through capability. As a replaceable battery mod..this one is going to be good for the Vapocalypse stash along with the Pro-thingy, SIDs, EgoTs, Trixies, mechs, and a few other assorted replaceable battery mods. I "inherited" all my late husband's gear, too. I should be reasonably armed now. :thumbs: (not the best pic...but it will do.)

Whats everyone vaping today? Right now I'm just going simple with my Sig Mini & Cerotank V2, and VTC Mini & Cubis with the 1.5ohm Clapton Coil..
Do you like the cubis thinking about one but not sure have a aio that uses the same coil works OK but having a little problem with dry hits might be user error

I have been using the Cubis a lot lately. The SS316 .5ohm and SS316 1ohm vape nice too me! The 1.5ohm Clapton is pretty restricted and doesn't have the greatest flavor. I run up to 80VG in the SS316 Coils and only times I get a dry hit is if im chain vaping while taking over 5sec drags.
The top Airflow works really well.

Just remember to fill it slightly under the "Max" line..

I like them too. I had the 1.5 Clapton on my provaris and wood mods And the 1.ohm on my Cloupor. I found the Clapton a bit slow to ramp up so I changed them to the RBA head. I like the tanks.

Kayfuns and Russians are excellent toodle tanks. I experience these short falls with them;
  • Bottom fill, tool required
  • They whistle
  • Occasional weeping/gurgling
  • Can't check the build without getting juicy fingers
  • The lead screws are small, capturing the lead could be easier
  • The positive block can rotate
  • Electrical resistance can be unstable enough to mess with TC
For me the Achilles V2 solves all these problems without adding new problems. :w00t:
I expect it will be a very long time if ever before anyone tops the Achilles V2.

What are you hoping to achieve with a new tank?

Think I'll just stick with my J-Tanks. (5 years old and still work like new)



wonders if they've paid for themselves yet
New tanks can be fun, no doubt about that. But, if you've found something that works and fits your needs perfectly, there's nothing wrong with sticking with one thing. I have bought a few new tanks, but I use STMs almost exclusively. I use them for TC and wattage, sub-ohm and not. :)
