RBA's have been a revelation for me. The clearo type tanks had me frustrated for years. A big leap many years ago were the spinner type pens. They had a half decent battery life used with plus ohm clearo or RE5 tanks, but man they were hard work

Without doubt the two best tanks I own are the Blotto and the Blitzen. Different experience with each but a pleasure for ADV

Plus one on the Blotto, it has kind of blown me away to be honest.
 
As it is still in daily service after 5 years or so, the Kangertech Sub Tank mini would have to be my best, followed by the Zeus single coil. My worst would have to be Kylin V2, which I absolutely detested with a passion and now resides in a nearby dam.
 
So I started of with an Blitzen RTA as my first ever RTA then I bought myself a Kylin V2 and was disgusted by it leaking like a baby not knowing how to use a toilet yet.

After that I can't remember the order but I had the Dvarw MTL, Dvarw DL, Taifun GT3, ESG Skyline x 2, Intake RTA, Skydrop RDA, Galaxy MTL RDTA, Ammit 25, Ammit MTL and many more and lastly I was lucky enough to get a steal from @Rob Fisher for the Taifun GTR MTL RTA.

My worst RTA ever as mentioned above: Kylin V2
My best MTL RTA by far (Can't even compare with any other MTL I've used/owned): Taifun GTR
My best Restrictive DL: Dvarw DL
My best DL: Reload RTA

Cheers
 
6 X JK mini's... i have found my happy place... added two Gatas and i keep on smiling ...
Worst MTL : that Berretseeker V1 thingy majieg... K@k !!!! Its packed so far away, hoping never to find it again.
DL ... must be the Revolver... weight of a bus and is always sad ( leaking ) followed by the Elevate ( cannot get that crap to give any flavour.. i do believe its the jocky and not the horse, but im over it ) so its keeping the above " thingy " company in a cupboard far far away...
LAST BUT NOT LEAST.. is my beautiful Blitzen... gunmetal grey still as good looking as the first time a tooned it.... just can not get that beaut to stop leaking when refilling it...
 
Blitzen rta, have all the latest rta's but the blitzen still rules on flavour over the newer rta's.
Trick with the blitzen is coil placement :)

Worst : Kylin v2 (leaking not condensation), told sir vape to keep it.

Best: Reload RTA OG, nothing has compared flavorwise in the 3 years since I bought this gem, anything after usually find themselves in the classifieds or sold to friends. That may change by Friday when I receive the Reload 26.

Worst: Ijoy Tornado RTA, a piece of rubbish that was faulty by design

My wife says you are welcome to send her the Elevate, she will add it to her other two and give it a good home. :--P:-D
 
Best for me is the Dvarw DL and the Taifun GX! They are in a different class for me. The Integra, Imperia and Pioneer would make the list if the airflow was just a dash more open. The Skyline and Skyfall would also make the list if it had more juice capacity and the juice fill wasn't so painful.

For me:
BEST DUAL COIL = OG Reload
BEST SINGLE COIL = Dwarw DL

KAAAAAKEST DUAL COIL = Kylin, both
KAAAAAAKEST SINGLE COIL = kylin again,(wasn't that bad, just never owned many single DL rtas)

Can you advise via PM on the coil placement, Asseblief

You really have to admire the fact that the Kangertech Sub Tank mini can still make it onto a list like this one.

It really stood the test of time. I think that I should pay homage and get one of mine out of retirement.:)

Well not that big of a mision, cut legs 5.5mm coily, coils as high as possible, when i look thru the honey comb airflow the bottom row should flow under the coil, and bend the coils as close as possible to the airflow, like really really close, the secret is coils high so the bottom row goes under the coil not against it, and coils really close to airflow, comb end out ...
Thats what i do and beats my intake dual, zeus x and bla bla bla on flavour ...

Thing is close airflow when refill no way around it.

Also i set x mod 5w more than what i will do on any tank, all my rta's are 60w but the blitzen 65w ..

The thing is if the bottom airflow hits the coil it's not high enough, the bottom airflow must go under the coil, and the coil must be really like really close to the airflow, just be carefull of the coils not touching any where, but if you dont go high and close it's a boring rta then.
The wicking doesn't really matter it's the coil placement that is key.

Wil ook net se die manier hoe mens die rta coil is naby die gevaarlik punt, so na jy mal gaan met jou coils gooi die rta eers op n regulated mod en check dat geen nommers rond spring voor jy dit op n mech gooi en op die nuus verskyn :(
Dit is my ervaring met die rta en wat werk vir my, nie te se hoe ek dit doen is set in stone nie.
Sry for derailing thread ..

That subtank mini with the rba dec was king for so many years.
I would love to get my hands on one.
If there is anybody wanting to sell a black one, in the JHB area, please drop me a PM

This remains (if you can find it) one of the very best starter RTA's for anyone looking to move from commercial coils to rebuildables... Easy to build and wick, no leaks, great flavour. The only downside for me was that they are THIRSTY for a single coil tank.

For me the Kanger tech pro tank 4 was a winner, I broke mine and would love another one if some one has and wants to part with it.
 
So, planning on getting either the Zeus x RTA (and the mesh base) or the Blotto. Any mayor differences to note or pros/cons on either?
 
As someone who cannot get along with mesh, I can only say good things about the Blotto. It can be a bit finicky to get the wicking right (might just be me) but when you do, you have flavour for ever. I am currently running mine now with some DIY dual cotton bacon comp 2.5mm parallel coils. The flavour is exceptional.

Thanks! I was thinking of getting the normal base and the mesh one if I get the Zeus as I have 0 experience with mesh but would be good to have the option there. I've however heard only good things about the Blotto so not sure which to go for
 
I have the Zeus X, the Blotto and the Zeus X Mesh. The Zeus X is by far the easiest to wick successfully. I battled with the Blotto at first, it kept leaking but I have finally gotten it right. You have to keep the wells "full" with cotton but have to balance the thinning out as well, it's a learning curve. With the Zeus mesh I also battled with wicking at first, I watched so many YouTube videos and kept getting dry hits, the thing is the cotton was saturated, I think it was the cotton touching the chimney of the tank. I seem to have gotten it right now too. When you get the wicking on the mesh and the Blotto right the flavour is excellent! The Zeus is also a winner with less fuss.

The Blotto is a more restricted draw, if this is what you like then it's a really good tank.

Don't think I've helped, I love all 3 of them!
