Hi @Smokey_Robinson

I doubt you will find that RTA. I hadnt heard of it before and I don't recall anyone here talking about a Corolla RTA.

My suggestion would be to go for one of the more recent MTL RTAs. SirenV2, Savour, Rose MTL, Beserker. There are quite a few. I have tried the Siren V2 and the Rose MTL. Both are affordable and very good in my opinion.

Here are a few threads talking about MTL RTAs that you might want to look at to give you ideas:

Thanks @Silver

Actually held one in the hand today for R300. Looked very nice. Not sure if authentic or clone. Did find this on this forum:

If I understand it correctly my 20watt and 45watt mods with build in batteries will not be sufficient for a MTL RTA, according to one shop pwner I recently spoke to? Will need to move to a 60-80watt mod, with preferably rechargeable stand alone batteries.
So I will need to look for a MTL RTA tank, other single battery mod, at least 2 batteries, charger, and then the big question, already build coils, or a kit to build them myself, presume with 1.0ohm + resistance, and of course cotton?

Will post in wanted thread and see what I can find second hand.

And this review:

[REVIEW] Corolla V1.5 RTA
renderTimingPixel.png

Got this about a week ago. I've been using a kayfun mini v3 clone most of the last 4 months since I started vaping in replacement of smoking. Strictly a MTL guy at relatively lower wattage than most other Vapers. Got a couple of friends who kept asking me to try an avocado/limitless rdta. I like simple single coil build. When I saw a recommendation for the corolla rdta, I thought why not? Single coil, small chamber, mtl and compact.

Here's a picture of the corolla on a kbox mini: http://i.imgur.com/9tDFQFr.jpg

It came with 3 different sized plastic tanks, I stuck with the default tank.

The Deck: http://i.imgur.com/jqBj7wV.jpg

It's eerily similar to a nectar nano deck, but the cap is domed.

It's easy to build on this thing. It's kind of like subtank mini RBA plus, where you trap the wire between the screw and a kinda metal guide at the side preventing the screw from spitting out the wire when you tighten it down.

I built it with 26awg kanthal, 2.5mm ID, 0.7ohm, spaced coil. Wicked with rayon with the tail trimmed off to 50%. At 18 watt and wide open airflow, the flavor is excellent, not like the kayfun mini v3, but a little warmer. It doesn't spit back much, and with the chamber this small and a domed chamber, the flavor comes out great.

Filling

Not the easiest to fill. You'll need to use a blunt needle nose bottle to fill through the tiny hole located on the deck. If youre filling it with a plastic nozzle bottle, it's best to fill it through one of the juice channel---prevent flooding the deck.

Airflow

At wide open, it's restricted still. It's mostly MTL, maybe restricted lung hits. But I think it shines at mtl. It's a little noisy, but

Flavor

I love the flavor from my kayfun mini v3 , with the same build. This feels different. Stronger TH and heat. Felt a little nic sick with the same juice.

Conclusion

I like this RTA a lot. It's shorter than my kayfun mini v3 clone. Flavor is comparable, easy to build on deck, cheap and good looking when you remove the plastic from the cap. Get this if you're a mtl Vaper looking for a cheap quality single coil rdta.

Only cons: small filling hole and plastic tank.

A very unknown and underrated MTl RDTA in a world of DL dual coil RDTA

@Smokey_Robinson , I actually use a siren v2, and an innokin Ares. Your mods are perfectly fine to run an mtl rta, I haven't ever gone over 24 watts on any of my mods due to mtl builds being on the higher end of the ohm spectrum.

I.e. I build between 0.7 and 1.2 ohms and I mostly vape it at 15-19 watts.

Your mods will be fine for an mtl rta. The only time you would want to go higher is if you're sub ohming using a dtl tank. I think 60-80 watts will fry my mtl coils.

Thanks @Random264

Issue is I use older Eleaf Istick build in battery mods, that has limit of 20watts and minimum of 1.0ohm setting, but as you have said, I will only use wire/coils in a RTA build of 1.0ohm and above, then it should work?
I forgot about the Innokin Ares.....loved their gladius tanks back then. You happy with the Ares? Seems nicely priced also.

@Smokey_Robinson if I'm not mistaken @Ruwaid has an istick 20 watt that he uses with his siren. But I don't see why it wouldn't work. I'm terms of the ares it's a brilliant tank, good flavour, but I often find myself reaching for my siren more. But you won't go wrong with either of them.

That guy that sold you that bull is looking for a paycheck!
Your mods are totally fine for MTL vaping and maybe @Silver can agree,he is using mods with built in batteries himself

@Resistance it's actually sad to know that an owner of a vape store will give bullshit advice just to make a sale. That guy is supposed to be helping people start of without breaking the bank, the main reason people get into vaping is health, but closely behind it is the cost of actually smoking and it pisses me off to think that a vape store owner, a person you go to for advice will bullshit just to make a sale.

Hi guys.

Just want to ask if any of you had any experience with the SXK Corolla v1.5 mtl rta tanks?

https://thevaporist.ca/SXK-Corolla-1.5

https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/threads/corolla-v1-5-rta-review.774747/

Is this a pure MTL style tank, I know it is a bit older, and how does it compare to other tanks. Looking to go from commercial coils / nautilus to a easy build and affordable/budget mtl rta.

It’s an sxk clone of the Ultron corolla. There’s a review in Italian on YouTube ma non parlo Italiano bene
Price seems reasonable though. Check this out: https://thevaporist.ca/SXK-Corolla-1.5

@Random264 . Thanks for info or Ruwaid. I just want to start with the RTA thing for first, so will move on to better names, but now budget is an issue, so need to look at new or second hand for R250-350 side.
@Resistance and @Random264 guy from shop did the following to give me idea of what will costs a new rta setup, but he saw my nautilus/vega mini mod setup, and said no way will it pull a mtl rta, his words were, 5puffs or 5 minutes and battery will be flat:
His setup for me:
SXk corolla tank@R250
P100 GTRS tech mod @R550
Samsung 18650 batt @ R100
AWT 2 charger @ R150
Cotton Beacon @ R120
3m or 3ft ? thread/coil @ R150.

Thanks @Grand Guru will be between the corolla and the innokin ares....appreciate feedback.

@Smokey_Robinson , the I stick has a 2200mah battery, if you're running a MTL rta on it, between 10-14 watts, I think you could get close to a day with that. But I know the feeling of having a dead mod when the craving hits and since you're on a budget, how about I make your life a little easier. I have a sigelei t200 mod, it's a dual battery mod and it goes up to 200 watts, it's not in the greatest condition but it works 100%. I also have a spare dual Bay charger lying around, it's not a night core or anything but it gets the job done. I can even give you some wick and some wire that'll work for MTL builds and that should run you a month or two. The only thing I can't spare right now is batteries as all of mine are currently in use. Then you can just focus your budget on the rta and batteries. Consider it a pif. Are your interested?

The vega according to me should give slightly more than a day on mtl.

Bud do yourself a favour and don't go back to that shop. That is utter nonsense. Although I can totally agree that it will be a more satisfying experience. For them to say that your 45w built in device is not good enough is bang out of order. Either Thier staff are not educated. That or they are encouraged to make money off of customers at every opportunity. 45W is way more than plenty for an MTL vape and depending on your needs 20w will be too.


SXk corolla tank@R250
P100 GTRS tech mod @R550
Samsung 18650 batt @ R100
AWT 2 charger @ R150
Cotton Beacon @ R120
3m or 3ft ? thread/coil @ R150.

This is not bad but I feel like he's flogging old gear to you.

A far better setup in my opinion would be:
Vapour storm Puma mini (the one with the screen) +-R450

Vandy vape berserker RTA +- 500

Samsung 30Q

Ditch the charger. With MTL you won't use a full battery in a day. And if you do you can always go back and get an extra battery and charger.

The wire is fine.

And you are pretty safe charging on board on a single battery mod. There are millions of vapers who do this without issue.

When you need to, get a spare battery and 2 bay charger. Go nitecore - they barely ever die.

I would also recommend purchasing online.

But again, you can ditch all of that, save yourself the money and just get the wire, cotton and atomiser. 45W is more than anyone on this forum uses for MTL.

Better yet, take up that generous gentleman's offer, buy yourself two batteries and an MTL tank and you'll have power for the better half of a week on each charge. Plus you'll have your other vapes as backup batteries.

@Spyro ....

I don't want to bad mouth any supplier, especially in today's almost recession economic climate.......but this guy saw that my knowledge i.t.o. MTL RTA is absolute zero, or he did the best with the limited stock/services he does have, but he makes his own juices, so he seems knowledgeable and on the company facebook clients seems happy, but then again there are not many any other shops.....

@ Resistance.... I might be wrong but the mods I have:
iStick 20watt has a 2200mha (min: 1.0ohm) and the vega mini 45watt with 1500mha (min: 0.3ohm)
Click to expand...

If you use the 20w mod @say 7- 12w and the 45w mod say at 12- 20w...I would say together (alternatively) you should be able to vape throughout the day on them.
The istick on say 12-18mg and the vega on say 9-12mg
