Looking for a good RTA

I've been out of the RTA game for quite a while. Recently bought a couple aromamizer supremes and they've been underwhelming. I'm sure they could be great but I don't have the right coils for it. My favorite juices taste awful in them right now.

My favorite coils are dual N80 aliens 26x3/36, 6 wrap, 3mm, 0.12 ohms. So, naturally, i'd like to be able to use those coils. (they are too big for the aromamizer, but perfect in the aromamizer plus) To go with beastly coils, a bubble glass would be nice for more juice capacity.

So what i'm looking for....

24mm-25mm base
Decent size build deck
bubble glass
Postless deck would be cool
No preference on airflow

Does such a tank even exist? or do i have to hit up @Pegleg Meg for some coils?

Coil pics for reference.

Both of these are good but a bit on the plus side......Triple and Iron Maiden and The Glaz.

The Dead Rabbit in gold is small.....

The Modfather and The Aromamizer Supreme Plus.....

Good luck, besides RDTAs I can't think of anything under 28mm that can fit 3x26, 6 wrap coils :( would a 30mm rta be too much? Ever try the Modfather? Or maybe the Voltrove Mini, dunno

or I could just set up a squonker :question:


Man I hate RTAs, squonker + rda wins every time over those...

I have to edit this - RTAs can be great if you know they'll always sit upright. For my lifestyle, stuff goes in my pockets and sometimes gets sideways...so I can't bide RTAs

Plus RDAs are so much easier to wick

My favorite rta ever is the aromamizer plus but for this purchase, i dont want to go bigger than 25mm.

Maybe i could try some smaller coils. If i told you what coils i had in the supremes right now, you'd laugh at me.

Thanks for all the input so far yall. When I get home, I'm going to set up a goon with a squonker. See how that goes. Maybe it'll cure the itch.

But then i have a $140 mod just sitting on the shelf lol. (thinkvape finder)

Good point there, my bad. I do have an Engine I forgot about, works great it does, and that Dead Rabbit does look nice but I wonder how the flavor could beat my RDAs

Kylin V2?
For coil size comparison, Tony B has 6 wrap claptons in his video @ 4:50.

Or move up a notch to 28mm?

I notice that n80/kanthal diff also.

The rabbit is dead on Rda flavor... I was just comparing it to The Drop rda and The rabbit hops all over The Drop.....

Better call it Drop dead.

As per coils.... I use ni 80 and Kanthal, but sometimes a metallic weird taste, but with SS ramping up and longevity and really thick clouds....

I have been buying all SS316 and SS304 much cleaner flavor.

i did watch Vic's review of the kylin V2. He was practically jizzing his pants over it. Do you know when it comes out?
Vaporl has the best price I’ve seen @ $22.50 but no date, just preorder.
FT says 5 days.
From China vendors I’ve seen from a few days to 3 weeks before in stock.
VPro might be one of the first stateside - $36

I have to agree with @MannyScoot on the Dead Rabbit RTA. The thing produces awesome flavor and doesn't leak a drop!

I'm running a pair of SS316 0.3*0.8 Flat wrapped with 32ga. 6 wrap 3.0 ID. Ohms 0.13, It's a tight fit bit works great.

And yes, I took it apart cleaned and re-wicked it just so I could get these photos for you. :)

I'm gonna make myself look stupid here but oh well lol. I planned on taking a wrap off my aliens but when I put the coil up to the posts, it looked like it would fit. Legs bent in a we bit but not enough to worry.

So I threw them in and wicked it. They're working great right now. Hitting just like the aromamizer plus. Although I went through a tank in about an hour lol. Running the .12 coils at 80w. Flavor is way better than the kanthal as well. Never trying that again.

I just got a dead rabbit rta and am impressed. I questioned it during first looks because the air flow seems high but I'll be dammed I'd it doesnt perform!

Hugsvape lotus is excellent

Kylin v2 is one of the top rtas od the year also. Bit finicky to wick but it has excellent flavor.

At 4.2 volts...are you sure? Are you a wizard?
That kind of load will cause even a good 30A 18650 to drop to 3.7 or so after the first few seconds of firing on a fresh charge.
Of course at 160 watts and 38+ amps a couple of seconds should do ya :)
