Thanks, it works and the NC-II is where my Engine stays. Awesome vape if you have an engine I suggest trying it out like this. I have a 0.24 build and keep it in parallel most of the time.

I found the leisure to make a new spaced A1 coil today and put it where it belongs.

I posted this someplace else (maybe on the Intake thread). I like this setup.

After reading this thread, I decided to go with Solomon 2. Thx for the reviews. I'm loving the tank. I have to close off the AF to half to get good flavor. Using with my old mod, it's nice little set up.

That IPV is,I think,there best device they made small and compact.

That's an easy one. The Engine Mini is the best 22mm top air RTA out there. It also happens to be about the only 22mm top air RTA out there. There is the Sapor, but it's janky. Of course, I'm not counting the abysmal Cubis line (which would include the Unimax). Everything else is 24 and up.

Hello Shawn! I appreciate you doing this list, it's very informative! I'm looking a really good top air flow single coil rta and figured I'd ask the expert. Are you able to list your top 3 that are still available to buy. Thank you in advance! I already have the engine nano btw. Have you started a blog for these rta's yet?

Looks nice, but I'm on the fence about the Foxy. Afraid I'll press the wrong side and drop my atty.

I still have a few to review. As soon as those are done, I'll convert everything over to a blog.

In the meantime, check out the Solomon 2.

I find the Intake a little too restrictive, and am not a huge fan of the cage in the Horus. I didn't like the convoluted deck in the Zeus Single...

Of course, someone will chime in here in a moment and rave about the Juggerknot Mini... that's one I'm waiting on. Along with the new SMM Wotofo offering...

There's a top air SMM due for release? Tough to stay current on what's next. I hope they use a thicker glass than on the original SMM. The only rta I've ever had where I kept breaking the glass when assembling or breaking down. Glass was as thin as a holiday decoration. I think they knew it too which is why they provided not one, but two replacement glasses in the box. Still managed to break them and finally gave up. Otherwise it was a nice performing tank, just way too fragile for my hands.

The SMM x Wotofo Elevate...

Come'on Shawn, you're not that old and absent minded!!! LOL. (just razzing ya)
I have no issue with telling which is the fire button and which is the quick release. Even if you do hit the release button, it takes considerable pressure to make it release the atty. You have to want to activate it. Nothing accidental about it. So no real danger there.

I love how simple and straightforward the Foxy is. And INSTANT power to the atty. Batteries last a bit longer in this thing due to the striped down 'dash board'. At least that's my experience.

Looks interesting. I'll pass on being an early adopter, but if they fixed the glass I'll give it a spin.

Bought a bunch of 'em for side by side comparisons. So far, I have the following:

Wotofo Sapor 25
OBS Engine
OBS Engine Mini
OBS Engine Nano
OBS Engine II
GeekVape Zeus
GeekVape Zeus Dual
Kaees Solomon 2
Digiflavor Themis Standard
Vapefly Horus
QP Juggerknot
Augvape Intake
Aspire Cleito EXO (with RBA)
Smok X-Baby (with RBA)

ON ORDER:
UD Athlon

Have I missed any? If I have, speak up and I'll add it to the collections for testing.

Meanwhile, I'm gonna start building and vaping these in earnest. I'll post my thoughts...

IDK if it was left out on purpose, but the Dead Rabbit RTA is top airflow. Not that I have any interest in it. Other than the fact that it looks nice. I stopped buying based on looks after the Intake...

Dead Rabbit was left out of that list accidentally, and has already been written up.

And, now this:

The FDX Athena
$14.01 (Free Shipping) Authentic FDX ATHENA RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer (ATHENA, 303 SS + Glass, Silver) at m.FastTech.com

Looks like a Zeus Dual with blinky lights...

Wotofo Faris, Pyro 2, Dead Rabbit Rta, I see you have the Zeus Dual (waiting on my Zeus and Faris), have the other ones already. Top airflow fits my lifestyle. I do have a few rda's but I'm like yourself on needing a rta.

 

[Letitia]

Looking forward to your thoughts on the qp Juggerknot mini Shawn. I'm very happy with it so far. DT had to go, very stubby. Flavor and af are spot on for me. Fairly forgiving wick and coil placement.

Ah, but the Far is and Pyro 2 are RDTA ans therefore will not be reviewed here. Already did the Dead Rabbit.

I was thinking maybe the Faris since it has the capability to run either way. It runs as a rta or a rta. Plus option to squonk or not. Hopefully mine will get here like yesterday!
