OMG !!!...That's Unbelievable...And it's got the Zodiac Constellations Too...Plus, did you notice in the Additional Info. it says Manufacturer: No...I'll bet the guy that's making those must be a relative of Dr. No...Maybe his Grandson ???...I wonder if it's got some kind of secret weapon built into it...I mean if it's really made by SPECTRE Inc...It's got'a have something evil & dangerous...I sure hope Vapor Source is a good honest square deal kind'a supplier because I got'a buy the License Key for my new software and I just don't have $5 to throw around like a drunken pirate...Ya' see I reached my allotted Track Section Limit for the Freeware...I'm afraid they've got me by the throat...CAD Software is so cool...especially when I can use it without going back to school...But I just don't know if I should get the Silver or the Black...I'll have to think this one over...:)
I saw the thing and my first thought was "light saber".....but you'll have to change your screen name to something Star Wars-esque.

I always wondered, what does GTA mean (as used in the Siren name)?

I believe the G may stand for genny (Genesis, originally Genisis :)) style of atomizer where the heating element was originally located above the tank. The original Genisis-style TA was invented years ago by Raidy (can't find the thread--the search is not working). Later, the term was used to describe any TA with a raised deck.

Well...It is interesting but at $5 it kind'a sounds like an accident waiting to happen...But even if I could get a 'Genuine' Innokin I doubt I'd actually buy the thing...When I finally get around to buying a mod with replaceable batteries it's gone be something newer, durable, user friendly & reasonable reviews...Maybe Pico 25's...I'm not even sure about that...I'm lay'in low for now & didn't buy a darned thing in the past few days...I don't need anything and I'd still like to see how the tanks shake out in the next few months...No rush for noth'in !!! :D

Thanks For The Link...I Did Enjoy Looking At It !!! :)

That seems to be the consensus. Although I don't see that it bears any resemblance to a Genny. Totally different kind of deck and totally different location of deck.

The RTAs that have similar deck placement to a Genny, I believe are being called RDTAs. I assume because they are RTAs with deck at the top where they can also be dripped on.

Does Digiflavor ever say what GTA stands for? Digiflavor is who started using the terminology, without explanation as far as I can see.

How about MTA? Mid-Tank Atomizer. Or, RMTA, whichever.

It does stand for Genesis Tank Atomizer because the wick is placed below the deck into the tank, as opposed to an RTA where the wick is traditionally fed juice from a tank above the deck.

My understanding is RDTA and GTA are synonymous and are more marketing than a standard (like everything in vape land!).

Technically, IMO, we can just use RTA and RDA. It is either a dripper or it gets fed juice from a tank. Further definitions are just to understand the technology employed to get juice to the coil (dripper, squonker, RTA, vacuum, GTA, RDTA).

MTA would be confusing around these parts it stands for Metropolitan Transit Authority...
Kind of like here in San Antonio, our electric company is CPS, City Public Service. So, does CPS mean City Public Service or Child Protective Services? For that matter, when I see SA, I think San Antonio, while some people would think South Africa.

So, the Drunker, the Nectar, the Corolla, the Theorem, the OBS Crius, and the Avocado are all Genesis Tank Atomizers? They all call themselves either RDTA or simply RTA. In clearomizers, a coil on top with wicking hanging down into the tank (Vivi Nova, CE5, Kanger T-2) was around before the BCCs (Evod, Protank, etc).

To me, the main thing required to be a Genisis Atomizer is the tall positive post that's used to attach the coil for the vertical mesh wicking.

Yes, marketing/gimmick. If Digiflavor or any of the others come up with a better explanation for what the G in GTA stands for, fine. But, as far as I'm concerned Genisis/Genesis is already taken.

True. But, GTA has not been given a meaning. And, if they choose to say it means Genesis Tank Atomizer, the term is already taken and would simply cause confusion.

Maybe they have some reason for using the G. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the deck is raised off the bottom to avoid flooding problems. Gurgle-free? Or, maybe they had no intentions for the G other than just coming up with a new term without any specific intentions for it's actual meaning.

I know I'm sounding pretty picky, kind of like a grammar Nazi. But, that's how I feel. If someone were to ask me what GTA means, unless Digiflavor comes up with an explanation that makes sense, I would simply say that it means nothing more than a new made-up term to describe Digiflavor's Siren RTA.

Sometimes I think that the Queen from "Alice in Wonderland" is defining the words, nicknames and alphabet soup used here. I don't think that you sound like the grammer NAZI at all. Defining and agreeing on the terms and words used is the first step to coherent discussion. The rest is a tower of babel.

Here is their Fuji (i think there first GTA) which describes best of vacuum and genesis in a "GTA".

Thank you!

"GTA combines the advantages of Vacuum and Genesis
Features smooth liquid flow, no leaking, no burn taste"

So, they're saying that it's a cross between a Vacuum-type Bottom-coil RTA and a Top-coil RDTA (including Genisis). They are not saying that it stands for Genisis Tank Atomizer.

I would still prefer something like Mid Tank Rebuildable Atomizer (MTRA) or MTA. But, if they want to use GTA, so be it. It still doesn't mean Genisis though. It just means GTA. Or 'containing features of both vacuum and genisis RTAs'.

Thanks for the link! I hadn't realized they had ever explained it.

Went to my semi local vape shop today where they were having a charity drive for a dog rescue facility. Earlier this morning I went to Pet Smart and picked up a couple 5lb bags of dry food, a few cans of wet food, and a box of Milk Bones to take to the vape shop. Of course I walked out with a new mod for a decent price after a 10% discount, and $25.00 reward points, plus they let me have it for their Black Friday flash sale price.
The mod is a Lost Vape Epetite DNA 60.
