Hi I've been building coils in my RDA since I begin vaping which is like 5-6 month already. So I considered to buy a new RTA or a RDTA.
-both great flavor and cloud production
-easy to build deck (ofcourse lol)
-Cap. Of the tank isn't a big deal
Possibly under 40$
I looked to most of the Geekvape and iJoy/limitless stuff. Also the new Coilart Azeroth but my local shop fuvking increase the price to 50$ which is rediculous. Thanks in advance!

Limitless+ is an amazing tank if you can use a Genny. Close to your RDA experience, but a tiny bit less convenient than a regular RTA as you really can't leave it on its side no matter how you wick it without getting some leaking. For an RTA with great flavor and cloud you can look at the Boreas (great tank) or the Aromamizer.

Can the Avocado compete with the lmtless+ ? I've board bad and good reviews of it.

It can but it's a bit more finicky to build & fill compared to the Limitless

I would consider to buy the Serpent mini but idk about the single coil only though.
The Mage is sold out the Azeroth is overpriced. The limitless and the plus version is only the one is underpriced.

After going back & forth for weeks, I've decided on the Billow V3 for myself. Least hassle & not much reports of leaking. Good price point too. You might want to look into the billow 2.5. I like the v3 better cause of the bigger build deck. Not too crazy bout that pop up top fill on the v3 but it looks like the 2.5 doesn't have that style

Limitless + is the first topper i can't subohm @ 16mg/ml.
Still if giving advice, go with the 1st ver. Aromamizer, real cheap nowadays..

The iJoy Tornado and Moonshot V2 are by far the easiest to wick properly in my experience, building is a different story. Especially the moonshot.

For ease of building I'd recommend the Griffin 25. Very simple to build on, but the wicking can be a pain in the ass to get just right.

I'll also second the Aromamizer Supreme. Building and wicking are both fairly straightforward. I haven't tried the Boreas(yet), but it seems to build and wick just like the Aromamizer.

The building and wicking are as identical as can be on two completely different tanks. With that said, the performance is not the same, the Boreas produces surprisingly more vapor and flavor for a virtually identical device.

the griffins are easy to build and wick
the limitless plus is easier
the mage is not as easy as the griffin or limitless plus
thats all i know

the advantage of the lmitless plus is you can use it as a dripper if you choose

Agreed about the Griffin. It doesn't really get any easier.

OBS engine is very easy to setup and the potential for leaks is pretty-much non-existant. For a beginner, the best RTA/RDTA is one that reduces punishment due to mistakes. The OBS Engine implements a top-air system, so that air enters just under the drip tip and then flows down, under, and then up through the coils. Super easy setup, no leaks, very good vapor production.

Two of the easiest tanks to build on are the Boreas and Merlin. Great flavor on the Merlin with decent cloudage. Good flavor on the Boreas with great clouds. I like the Avocado better than the Limitless. It's just built better IMO. Also the Avocado is easy to build on but personally I'm not a big fan of the Genny style tanks.

I'm still learning how to refill the Boreas leak free. Think I'm getting there. It is a great tank otherwise.

Just close the air holes completely, air flow and juice flow are tied together on the Boreas.

That didn't work. When I opened them up after refill (closed them before opening the top) out came a couple mls.

The difference might be that I vape the tank dry before refilling.

Don't fill the tank all the way...... Remember there is juice down at the bottom of the rta...... If you fill it to high you put too much juice and there is no way for the tank to equalize pressure...

So fill a bit under the rim and when you flip the tank upside down you should see how the ejuice flows down and fills it..........

While the tank is upside down open (1) airholes...... And flip again and take a couple of Vapes until the cotton in the coils dry and bubbles come up...... Then you can open more holes because the tank will be equalized in pressure......

But sometimes JUICE comes out, but not in ml's but a couple of drops.....

Took this as second nature, I do the same on the Aromamizer...
Yeah, it's a great tank but MAN do you blow through juice.

Easiest I ever built was Smok TF-RDTA. Tornado nano its 24mm pretty easy. Its on you what style deck you like. Cant go wrong with any tank listed above my next purchase is the Serpent mini v3.

My Mage is small but it's been my easiest RTA to setup and never leaks. Strangely my second second recommendation is also the cheapest, Tobeco Super Mini RTA 25mm. I bought it for $16 to be my first RTA. Has the wick retaining ring setup method and a decent (for an RTA) sized Velocity deck since it's a 25mm. Has decent looks and juice capacity too.

Hear alot of good about tobecco super rta. But didnt seem like a big seller meaning dont believe out sold more popular brands. Clones may not be everyone cup of tea but tobecco can clone the hell out of some thou. I bet the mage is pretty sweet. Velocity decks and 25mm are the way to go.

I own the Avocado 24 and I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!! I also own the Limitless Plus the newest version 2. I love that tank as well. The thing is avocado feels more expensive but the limitless is easier to fill and has a bigger tank. I like them both. I just got the limitless the other day so im still playing with it. Got it running dual coil claptons 5 wraps (.25 ohm). Avocado I am running single coil clapton atm (.5ohm). No reason I have them setup that way other then I want one single coil and one with dual coil just so happens they are setup that way and not the other way around. A lot of people don't realize if you lift the ceramic block on avocado its got 2 fatter holes to fill other then that you need a skinny needle like nozzle for it.

Interesting that no one has mentioned the Azeroth. It has a goon deck is dead easy to build and wick. Flavor and clouds are quite good. No leaking.

Love the goon for a rda. Is the azeroth a rtda? I mainly love velocity style decks lately probably why the last 2 attys I baught was velocity lmao.

I'm waiting on one that I won here. Looking forward to trying it and reviewing it.

I see mixed reviews on the Azeroth. I used it today for half an hour at my local B+M today. I had the day off. He let me build and wick his own Azeroth to test it. The Goon deck makes building easy but the screws are a bit too short for really thick wire. You can fit a slimmer alien or clapton in though with no issues and the deck is big. I've heard some people had issues with tolerances. I did not on the one I tested. Everything fit fine and the o-rings had just the right amount of tension. I have a Limitless Plus. This looks better especially in black. I like a good looking tank. I ended up buying one.

I'm probably a poor person to be judging. I put a Troll V2 on my new Satan series mod. I have at least four high end attys sitting about but picked the Troll anyway with a single coil build and stuffed the deck with cotton. I like a few lower end attys a lot - the Troll V2, the Hannya postless, the Velocity by Tobeco. Doesn't mean I don't like my Fuel V2, my Kennedy, my Petri or my Tugboat. But I would use my Tsunami 24 as often as my Kennedy 22.

So I'm thinking of buying the Dotmod RTA but really - is it better than an Azeroth? Or a Tornado nano? Or my favorite - the Serpent mini. Price does not determine how good a an atty or mod is always. The Boreas is now cheap as chips all over the web. The Satan series mod cost me less than 100 dollars. A Pinoy not Chinese series mod and it dead cheap. I have mods that cost 400 dollars and are not as good. The piglet cost 120 dollars is not better than the Satan.

They made a revision on the Azeroth with longer screws & holes.


And of course the packaging says nothing on if it's the revised version or not
Yep, Mike Vapes did an update video on the revisions.

limitless + v1 is still my favorite RTA/RDTA. avocado24 is nice too. moonshot is another one of my favorites for small RTA, but not the easiest to build.

The first time I built moonshot I was throwing shit across the room. When you get it lined out. Nice flavor and clouds my experience with it does get hot. Was online store selling them 10 bucks free shipping.
