MTL Tank recommendations and advice

I have had no luck trying to buy the Rose, twice i have bought it only to get an email both times apologising that it was actually out of stock but the infantry hadn't been updated so can i pick an alternative. This resulted in me getting the Hastur Mini MTL RTA and the Purity Plus both are excellent.
@Grand Guru listed some really solid performers and surprised he didn't add the Soulmate which is cheap as chips yet pretty darn good. I also love the new V2 Berserker and Expromizer V4 but the tank i am writing a review for now is outstanding, the Pioneer designed by BP Mods and manufactured by Dovpo! it's a chicken dinner!
I second you on the Soulmate @Timwis. It slipped off my mind as I didn’t use it for a few weeks.
I like to give some of my gear a “break” for some time. When I go back to it, it’s like a new encounter!
I’m sure you know that feeling ;)

Hi there. I scanned through this thread quickly and I don't see anyone mentioning the Taifun GTR MTL.

Now obviously you will have to get a clone which I suspect in South Africa is not an easy task. You are welcome to join the Fasttech group buy if you are interested in one of these.

See this thread: https://www.ecigssa.co.za/post-lockdown-fasttech-gb.t67418/

It is very very very easy to build on and no leaking since I got it.

Even if you are not interested in the GTR you might want to consider the Group Buy since your are in the market for clones.
 
Hey Dash, New to the forum but been on MTL's for a bit now. In the end its all about what vaping style/preference you have, but I love my MTL's.

If you looking for an airy MTL/restrictive DL, then I suggest the Geek Vape Ammit MTL RDA, plenty of airflow options, but a good and solid MTL base. Easy to build and wick.

Vapefly Galaxies RTA is a bit more restrictive, but also plenty of airflow options with inserts and two air holes with changing flow. Gorgeous on flavor.

OBS Engine MTL RTA is also as easy as it comes, and with Top Airflow you wont have any leaking issues, a bit on the restrictive side, especially if you dial down to the middle or small airflow (like sucking a golf ball through a garden hose).

The 3CVape and Vaping V1ck, Savour MTL RTA is also a winner, a bit of a bugger to get used too between the MTL and DL inserts, each of them you have to wick completely different as well, but once you get the hang of it, the flavour is spot on. Bit of a leaky bugger too when you dont get it right.

If you are up for a challenge and a lot of (MTL) airflow, the Advken Manta MTL RTA... but it will leak, and you will have to dial it right down for MTL hit.

Me I run 6 to 9mg freebase liquid for my MTL tanks, just the way I like it, dont do Nic Salts or High Nic Juice, but all of these tanks are great with 50/50.

If you really want to try the best of both worlds, the Augvape Intake single coil with the 510 adaptor, 510 driptip, dialed down to a round airhole works as a MTL as well as the tank is restrictive for a DL tank in any case.

Hope you come right and find what you are looking for, the options don't end here.

Cheers.

So I'm definitely keen on the group buy after 5 minutes of browsing fasttech, except I dont even know how to make a selection since there are so many options. This will take some serious research but once I shortlist a few I'll list them here for opinions. Thanks for this link
 
Ok here are a few clones that I've shortlisted:
https://www.fasttech.com/products/3042/10035943/9712824
https://www.fasttech.com/products/3042/10009199/9650067
https://www.fasttech.com/products/3042/10051660/9701746
https://www.fasttech.com/products/3...st-hussar-the-end-styled-rta-rebuildable-tank

I'm thinking I can buy a couple (maybe all) of these, which should hold me off for a few months, maybe until lockdown restrictions ease up and we get more local authentic options. What do you guys think?
 
Considering pulling the trigger on the Yachtvape Pandora, anyone else got an opinion?
 
I ordered some stuff from the Vape Guys today and it seems as though he's got The Rose in stock(2 in stock)... I was actually thinking about getting one for myself... But ja, recon the COG from Wotofo is good enough.

Sorry, can't post links, my account is not old enough... Just google The Vape Guy

1 will be heading to Bloem on Monday thanks to @Silver! Only 1 left :p
 
I have been vaping about a year and a half and have not gone a single day without an MTL setup in rotation.
If you have been hitting 6mg freebase in a big DL setup, you will either need to bump that up for MTL (9-12mg) or go the Salt route.

MTL is unfortunately no less subjective than any other form of vaping, so a draw that might be great for you will be too loose/tight for someone else.
Clones can be good, but buying them locally will probably cost you close to what a decent MTL setup will cost you anyway. I would suggest keeping an eye on the classifieds section too, there may be some really good deals floating past there.
Look for something that has a deck that is easy to build on, something like the Dvarw can be really finicky to trap the wires, while the Kayfun Lite is really easy to build, but there is a slight learning curve to get the wicking right. As this is your first MTL route, look for something that has enough airflow adjust-ability, so that you have a better shot at finding a setting that you like. While it is also subjective, check reviews to see which ones are rated highly for flavour and immediately exclude the ones that we listed as less great.

Next, your mindset has to change a little, as you will never get the same flavour saturation and intensity from an MTL than you will from a big DL setup. Make sure not to grade a tanks flavour by comparing it to your current DL setup, or you will keep being disappointed.

I had a terrible experience with the original Berserker, as it almost always ended up leaking after a couple of refills. I had a dvarw clone which was decent, but I never got the wow factor from it (again, subjective). I then got 2 Kayfun Lite clones (22m and 24mm) and they were HEAVEN, but they can be a pain if you are out and about, as they are also bottom fill.

I never owned one, but many people rave about the little Galaxies MTL, which may be a great buy if you can pick one up used.

The Cog has gotten mixed reviews and seems a bit gimmicky, but the new Berserker and new Ares 2 have been getting some good review lately (the Ares is sort of built by MTL guys, for MTL guys).

If you can find one, I can HIGHLY recommend getting your hands on an Expromizer v4. Super easy to build, top airflow makes it almost impossible to leak, juice flow control is a bonus (I shut mine off when I have my mod in my pocket, so no nasty gurgles or flooding). Flavour is on par with the Kayfun Lite, which is the best I have had. The draw is silky smooth and the quietest atty I have owned.

One other and often overlooked option is to look for a nice MTL rda/rdta and a squonk mod?

** EDIT ** I would also pay close attention to any advice that @Silver @Christos and @GSM500 offer when it comes to MTL...
If someone decides do stock the Ares 2, I would be their 1st customer.

I love everything about that RTA. Currently I am using the Wotofo COG and am about 70% happy with the performance. It's as if something is missing, but still a satisfying experience....

But ja, please keep me in the loop when the Ares 2 hits our shores....
