Is there anyone out there that has/can comment on the serpent mini 25 with the dual coil deck versus the reload rta? Everytime i vape on my serpent, with just the right build and just the right wicking, it just blows me away. I have an ammit dual, two Aromamizer supreme v2's, a limitless classic rdta, and the OG Aromamizer 22mm rta - and the serpent, flavour wise, is just fantastic. I'm wondering just how the much hyped reload compares.
Serpent Mini 25 dual coil vs Reload RTA
Hey man, I'm pretty sure the Reload is the better RTA. It's a premium tank with a premium price tag; heard excellent things about it.
There's a very specific reason I wanted to have these two tanks compared:
- They're both bottom airflow
- They both have restricted airflow - aka, a restricted lung hit
- They are about the same size (height and capacity)
- They are dual coil and single coil capable

I dont use my SM25 anymore. That should answer your questionThere's a very specific reason I wanted to have these two tanks compared:
I'd like to know, aesthetics and price aside - if you were blindfolded, which vapes better?
- They're both bottom airflow
- They both have restricted airflow - aka, a restricted lung hit
- They are about the same size (height and capacity)

Dammmmit man, I'm trying to find reasons NOT to buy another atty hahaha. I want people to say "the serpent mini 25 is great, no need for the reload"I dont use my SM25 anymore. That should answer your question
I haven't tried the SM25 but I can tell you this much ... you can't go wrong with the Reload.
It is worth every penny!
Ok... So just one question then, does it ooze juice onto your mod? All of my bottom airflow attys do it and i now dont use them on my dna 250 mods... And which colour should i get? Also, my wife is gona kill me...
I've had absolutely zero oozing or leaking from this RTA. Not a drop. I'm not saying its impossible, it is bottom airflow... but I'm a complete idiot when it comes to wicking and it has not let me down.
Color is super subjective. I have the stainless and my friend has the gold. Both look fantastic. Personally I like the look of the black one least but I've only seen pictures, maybe an IRL experience will change my mind on that.
Just something to keep in mind. Divorce means that your wife can't kill you anymore... it does however mean a raging ex-wife can and probably will torture you to death. Do with that what you must
Rofl! I'm referring to the Kylin/Ammit condensation issue. My Serpent does it too - after a day's vaping, there's juice under the tank and on the mod's 510. I'm assuming the reload would do the same?I've had absolutely zero oozing or leaking from this RTA. Not a drop.

Here is the RTA off the mod, no cleaning:
This after about 4 days and probably 20+ full tanks. I hope that shows what you want to see?
Yep! That's impressive! Thanks very much for taking the pic!Here is the RTA off the mod, no cleaning:

My pleasure man. More than happy to help.
Its a pricey tank but the price is justified. I don't know anyone that has this tank and is not happy with it.

like everyone else said, you cant go wrong with the reload. In its time the SM25 was one of the best but alot has improved since then. Reload is the only RTA apart from the OBS Engine that has never given me any condensation at the 510
Update: I ordered a stainless steel Reload now.
Regarding the SM25, I have never had wicking issues with the dual deck - I removed that silly wick ring though, which is probably why it performs so well.
So I see that the reload grub screws are a bit crappy, can I use my Aromamizer Supreme V2's strengthened spare grub screws in the Reload instead?

Awesome! Congratulations man. You will not be disappointed. Come post in the Reload thread with your experiences when you get it.Update: I ordered a stainless steel Reload now.

What mod will you primarily be running it on?
I haven't had any issues with the grub screws but if the thread is the same I don't see why not.
I'll be running it on my Therion.
Its a black edition Therion, but I chose the stainless steel Reload because I felt it looks nicer.
I reckon it'd still pair well on that mod looks wise.
Most certainly. It looks fantastic on my black Alien.
I'm looking at getting a black Therion 75C in the near future. What a lovely device!
I'd wait for the higher wattage colour DNA mods to come out. 75w is too little power for big dual coil builds.
My DNA devices are a Triade DNA 250, a ThinkVape Finder DNA 250, and the Therion 166 DNA 250.
My HCigar VT200's second Lipo pack died after only two months, so that's just a paper weight right now
I think this is a fantastic deal btw:

I got the red one last week...
Only thing to remember with this mod is that it only supports up to 25mm attys because it has like a cup around the 510 area, whereas the Triade can support any size atty - not sure if that makes a difference to you.
I could imagine the Ammit 25 dual and kylin would have a similar sort of vape to the reload. The build decks are pretty much so similar.
Excuse the delayed response. Things are a bit crazy at the office at the moment.I'd wait for the higher wattage colour DNA mods to come out. 75w is too little power for big dual coil builds.

Thanks for the detailed post. Damn, that Finder looks like quite a serious machine! A bit too big for my personal preference though. I like a smaller profile dual battery mod personally.
As for the power, 75W should be fine for my needs. 99.9% of my vaping sits below 50W. My Reload is currently sitting at 45W (@ 0.35ohm) and the result is fantastic. I hardly ever go over 60W.
In the odd instance that I would want to, for whatever reason, I have the Minikin v2 up to 180W and the Alien up to 220W.
None of this is meant to knock your high powered beasts. Just different strokes for different folks
@AlphaDog seems this has been covered extensively
My 2c, they are in different classes, simply due to the size if the chamber the SM25 is optimised for simple economic builds where the reload seems to targets higher wattage/airflow/fat exotic builds
Bare in mind i haven't used a reload / any RTA since Feb
