Anyone who's owned any of these, can you possibly offer some insight? I'm looking to upgrade from the Atlantis, and since the Atlantis2 seems underwhelming to me, I'm considering one of these. I've heard the Arctic is a pita to fill and heard of some other cons, so the Starre is looking better all the time. But in all honesty, the Subtank market imo is getting saturated and one could go bonkers with all the solid choices available.

5ml juice capacity and more airflow is what separates the Starre/Maganus from the Arctic IMO. I have both, as well as the Delta II and the High Voltage and the Starre is just a notch above them all in flavor also but not by much when compared to the Arctic. It could be the "medical grade cotton" or the parallel coil build on the Starre but it's something that makes me give it the nod.

I've been using the arctic for about a month and a half now. I'm on the same coil. I've probably filled it 30 or 40 times (not saying a ton given the capacity) and the coil is still fantastic. No dry hits or anything. Major con is the capacity, its really just terrible. I run it at 68 watts and it'll get me through half a day, but I know alot of people can run it dry in a half hour. It's also not that difficult to fill, any bottle with a point on it will get the job done no sweat.

With all that said, I do have a Freemax Starre on the way, because it seems like a much nicer tank. Yes easier to fill, and YES on capacity. Personally I think it looks nicer too, even though slightly taller. I ordered a Dimitri dual 18650 to go with it for like 26 bucks on fasttech as well.

To the Arctics credit, the coils truly are frickin champs. I was driving the forklift at work and it was on my sigeli at 68 watts, and I accidentally forgot to lock the sigeli. Needless to say, the fire button was activated, and I noticed my pocket getting really hot, and the sigeli gave me an "overheated message."

THATS THE SAME COIL I'M USING TODAY!!!

It didn't go dry, it just leaked juice all over my pocket. Bad for me because I pretty much ran out of juice for the rest of the day, but awesome for the arctic coil for holding up to such abuse. I don't see any reason why the Freemax coils would be any less stellar than the arctic coils.

for how much they cost, not like an authentic kayfun or the cost of analogues, buy them all and see which one you'll like, u might like them all, or spread out ur purchases over time.
u can always resell what u dont like or gift it to a smoker to try out.
99% of vapers are exsmokers, my best guess, didnt we literally burn a ton of cash on smokes over the years

I 've been using Atlantis for a while now and just bought the Starre a couple of weeks ago. Atlantis coils fit the Starre and the Starre coils are supposed to last a month or so before needing change. Starre is a beast in cloud production. I've only used the .5 coil at 40W and am already impressed. Can't wait to use the .25 coils once the .5 burns out.

So how is the Starre holding up bc I went to my local b&m & they told me to get the Artic but I'm really leaning towards the Starre, was also looking into getting the Sigelei 100w plus but wasn't sure if I should wait for the 75w tc

Are you getting the Starre from FT too?
You probably have it by now if not FT so how do you like it?
etc
