Kanger coils. No matter what wattage I use, ohms or viscosity of the juice, I never fail to wind up with burned/dry hits. I have not had this problem with any other pre-built coils. This is the reason I never recommend Subtanks, to someone looking into getting their first sub-ohming tank.

Totally understand

I've moved away from all kangertech junk as too many times I was let down by the coils

Aromamizer RDTA By Steam Crave. Bought it cause of all the rave reviews, but the original deck sucks and is way to airy a vape, also it will cost me another $20 to buy the new deck which I don't wanna incase it still hits the same.

Also most RTAs I buy leak a lot if left on it's side.

Wow

The aromamiser has been one of the best things to happen to me

It only shines with that two post deck set a benchmark in my opinion

Yea that what why I was most disappointed when I didn't like it. I blame it on my vape style and maybe cause I don't have the new deck.

Atmizoo Roller. Poorly designed switch, high price, poor performance, very hit and miss with firing at all. It was a mech I'd wanted for a very long time, and when I got it I was very disappointed with the quality of the build and it's functioning. After that I got 4 Poldiacs, and set that Roller aside for good. The Poldis put the Roller entirely in the shade.

Yeah I suppose we are all different and get different experiences from the same kit

I've ordered a v2 and a supreme as the aromamiser was just a joy

Griffin RTA - I wanted to like it so much, but I couldn't get over how restrictive the airflow was. That and no matter what build I put in it the drip tip would heat up to roughly the same temperature as the sun...
Think that was a complaint by many hence the top airflow release

The top airflow also helped cool down the chuff in my opinion

You going for the 25mm
More than likely not - not directly as a result of my disappointment with the original griffin. I've gone back to solely using RDA's and I am also delving further down the mechanical mine shaft. No leaking to worry about and all together a much more satisfying vape I find :)
I often try new things in B&M's though so no doubt our paths will cross at some point :)

    Over complicated RTAs & mods. Vaping is way to simple for all that junk.

    Most eventually figure out what makes the right way to do something the right way to do it. ......
    it's the easiest way to do it right, and there is always an easiest way to do what you want.

    My SMOK M80, which was the first mod I bought after my REO in 2011 (also had a Provari from back in the day, still do).

    To be fair, it's still working now, but that's not saying much as it's barely a year old and only works with one RDA because the spring has been stuck since 3 mos. after purchase. This is actually my second M80, as the first one went belly up after only a week. At least the warranty was honored.

    It was especially bad since I spent more than I should have in order to support a local B&M, but it really turned me off going that route. They're the only one around here right now.

    Truly, I should have known better, but I was so out of the vaping loop at that point I didn't do my due diligence.

    Conversely, even though I also paid just a tiny bit more than I should have, the iStick 30W that I purchased during the time the original M80 went in to be replaced has been one of the most pleasant surprises.

    Mine is one hit wonders police man

    Has no relevance to its profile and the profile flavour is right up my street

    Got two 180ml bottles sitting doing nothing as it tastes like .........

    My 1 and only Vape Wild purchase. The customer service was amazing, as was the price, and I really wanted to love the juice, but I didn't. All 9 bottles of juice were horrible and completely unvapable for me. I tried to maintain a positive attitude and allowed them to steep for 2, 4 and 8 weeks. There was very little improvement, and they went into the trash.

    I have similar experience with one company. All the juice ended up nasty. Non were vapeable besides the sample they sent me LOL
