A year ago I was only making fused claptons guys ;) This month last year is when I started my routine to go further...it wasnt something that happened overnight but it is something anyone can do. I am mentoring a few others on the forum and instagram and they already have gone past where I was

On a more serious note, I wish this was out already but so far all of their RTA's would meet the standard for #1 or #2 RTA.
Augvape Merlin, Boreas, Merlin Mini and Merlin RDTA.

They dont leak
They wick easily
They have options for MTL/Lung
Multiple Decks with purchase
Can rewick without complete break down
AMAZING flavor
Airflow on the Merlins can be a bit tight but the Merlin RDTA and Boreas would suit those people
They look good and they are inexpensive.

Most of you know me...Im no fan boy and have provided many reviews/comparisons. I buy everything and break everything down I can for everyone and spill the cons and pros of what ever I use.....I have tested 100's of Tanks and the more recent RTA's have less problems but most of them are personal preference but there are a few goldies like above that are for everyone and check all the boxes.

Is this the latest Augvape creation? Must know more...

Merlins are my work horses and still going strong after all these months...

Secret prototype....that I kinda let the cat out of the bag on :D:D
Hopefully it will be released very soon, I actually designed a Tube mod for it and hopefully it will sell also as a combo.
I know Roxie named it the Merlin for her birds but this isnt the same RTA so I called the tube the Rodule, meaning "Staff", the RDTA going with it is Merlin...
Boreas type wicking, working on vaccuum pressure and seals the juice is actually drawn up the "S" logo into the wicking holes just above....its even wicks sitting straight up and down and since your wicks are sitting on them it wont leak...its a very clever system.
There will be small changes and optional decks for this RDTA but we are still working out the bugs..
Rough Photochop of the combo:
ebc7f6b7f7e946851f0086c211a0193f.jpg


The Tube will be Cerakoted Brass, Silver plated Internals, Atleast 14mm wide contacts and Magnetic Button....Hopefully they will include a hybrid topper for it and it should compete with some of the best low voltage loss tube out there...so sexy, and functional.

I've never used a true RDTA before - the closest would be the Boreas, which I also love

The Boreas is more for special me-time vaping, lol

Excellent for single coil - it's what I take to work daily where I have absolutely no time to deal with cranky vapes.
Would u be interested in trading one for a supreme? I have quite a few of them coming lol

I've been happy with the VGod Trick Tank pro, great flavor IMO. It's a pricey Tank at around $65, but IMO worth it. I also tried the Clone for $13 from 3Fvape, it's pretty much a 1:1 Clone. I've actually ordered 4 of the Clones for gifts and to keep a couple in my FDA Apocalypse stash.



You know me and the Trick Tank Pro ;)
I also got the Iron Maiden, a 30mm RDTA. I'm actually really enjoying it, decent flavor and looks damn nice on my Arthas tube.

maiden_zpsm3iyaka4.jpg
I WANT the Iron Maiden. I would keep it even if I hated it just for the simple fact of how much I have loved Iron Maiden for all these years. Hell, maybe one day it well even be a collector's item. May get two. One to use and one to stash away.

I'm not crazy, my mother had me tested.

I've got the Ammit on pre-order, waiting for it to ship. I'm pretty excited to get it, looks like a great single coil RTA

Watched Grimm Green on it, he was complaining about how he couldn't get it to stop leaking. Haven't heard of leaking issues with it so maybe it's just him. Also was complaining about the fill hole in the VGod Trick Tank Pro, saying he couldn't fit a glass dripper in it or anything other than the VGod juice bottles ... mmmm I have two of them, plus had a Clone before I gifted it out. Glass droppers, and all my juice bottles fit no problem other that the big fat twist close tips fit in them with no issues .... That and he ranted and raved about the CLN RDA by AVP on their innovation with it. It no shit is a direct 1:1 Clone of the Mose by MCV ...... lol ...

Grimm's usually pretty decent, I think he just had a really off day.

It really is a good RTDA, really good flavor. I was skeptical about the ceramic chamber but it really does do very well for flavor, I've really been enjoying it. It's well machined, good design and so far I've been really happy with it. So much so I think I'm going to get another for the Stash.

Shows how much he knows ;)

To be honest there's only a couple reviewers I actually take their word on gear reviews.

Matty from Convicted Vapes, all the gear I have bought that he has recommended I've absolutely loved. Hell he was the one who introduced me to the Modfather.
The Vaping Bogan, that foul mouthed Aussie damn good and very honest.
Dean the Vaping Biker, he's honest and pretty damn good also

Those are my go to, there's a few others but those three are my favorites.

My next dream setup. That just gorgeous and I would get one just to sport the first Raymo creation that I know of. Correct me if I'm wrong.

A bunch of the Boreas fans trolled Grimm's review of the Boreas so bad he took it down, lol

It was hilarious to watch it go down

Now that is funny, damn! That must have been around the time mi Poppa's battle with the big C that he lost :( or I would have caught that one. I would have loved to have seen/been a part of that one ;)

The Boreas is da shit, still have yet to Vape on a 25mm tank that is as good.

I'm glad that you like it. I thought it quite original for a band to endorse a vape product and the fact that it is my favorite band made it all the better. :)

Oh they didn't endorse it, the company actually got into some legal trouble and had to change some shit around to avoid a lawsuit.

The best throw's on a tube have been with the tubes I've gotten from Beyond Vape. The Oros V2, Oros Stealth, Sage and Arthas. Beyond Vape I'm not so thrilled with their RDA's but I fucking love their tube mod's, the button is the best I've found.

That what I just found out. That sucks. Funny thing is that if the company had gone through the proper channels, I have a feeling that Maiden would have worked something out with them. Either way, it still looks like an awesome RDTA.

Yeah they just had to change the logo a bit to get them out of trouble, but it really is a good Tank so far. Only been vaping on it for a day but so far liking it, liking it a lot. Plus looks damn good on the Arthas!

Love the Velocity influenced afc, cyclops slits and screw up/down adjustment. Also one of the flavor killers with 30mm devices is so much space, the inside ceramic cap does a lot for flavor but yet still a lot of room for builds.

For me the best 25mm RTA is still the Boreas.
I like a lot of air personally. I build heavy so air is needed. I love the tsunami 24 fills my needs great. My issue with the limitless was more it was average and there were better options. I mostly am using rtas now anyway. Just got my lux to go with the modfather and got my griffin 25 plus. I have so much shit to try out and review lol

Thought I better add not the plus the original but the trick is find a drip tip that fits chuff cap. As far as air flow you can adjust it from alot to very little air very easily.
