The o-rings on the Scottua clone are a bit iffy - I changed them out. But overall the clone is very good. I actually prefer a bottom fill. I use my Goblin mini all the time. Much less prone to leaking. I thought you were talking about the mod father. Sry.

No worries - after reading your previous post I started to wonder what RTA review I was actually watching...

That was a first for me ---- are there other RTAs that require a screwdriver to fill?

[paulS]

yes. the goblin mini. which i vaped all night.

Lots of them - this used to be the norm.

Kayfuns come to mind.

Updated ... Axiom rta. As I have begun using rtas more as a quieter flavor vape, i look for small tanks that can be vaped below 45 watts. This one can and should be vaped at lower watts. It is a DTL tank, it looks dope, it tastes great. I will add it to my small collection. Its not for the guys that like the Glacier Gen3 30 mm RDTA or the 30 mm ModFather. Or the VCMT or the newer TFMT (Top Flow Mega Tank by Vaper Cloudz). It for guys that appreciate the Serpent Mini.

The tfmt, that's one that'll not take off. Top flow.. what? Why?

[paulS]

Yep. It is an odd tank for sure. It looks nice but I've never used one so I cannot say how good it is. The big trend now is mega tanks and mini tanks, lol. There are tweeners but people want either the 2-4 ml tanks that are 22 mm and 40 mm tall or the huge 30-40 mm tanks. I have started moving towards the smaller tanks as I like some expensive juices.

This is just a quick impression - Comparing the Aromamizer V1, Aromamizer Supreme, Boreas, Griffin 22 and Griffin 25

Looks and class - Aromamizer Supreme
Cloud/Flavor combo - Boreas
Pure taste - Griffin 22
Build quality - Aromamizer Supreme

Now these are just opinions. I tried each of these. Honestly you should be happy with any of them.

Now genny tanks - Avocado24, Limitless Plus and Theorem

Avocado 24 is the clear winner with the Limitless plus close but it leaks more in transit. Here is the biggest issue - a genny is never going to taste as good as a standard RTA built correctly. I've nothing againsy gennys. Yhey are the easiest to wick by far and generally easy to build on. But most standard RTAs will produce more cloud and flavor. The moonshot is a bitch to wick and build on. But oh wow - clouds and flavor for days.

So decide how you like to vape. Any questions gladly referred to Tin.

BTW, finally got to hold a Modfather. Holy shit. What a beauty of a tank. Machining is silky smooth too. They are all out of stock it appears. This is the mother fucking king of RTAs. Seriously. I want one badly now. This until I get my hands on a 40mm Dumptank of course.

Aye, he's a funny one, arrgh...

Well if I had to recommend just ONE RTA it would undoubtedly be the Tornado Nano. This wins on a number of points:

A) One of the easiest build decks on the market.
B) The machining on this tank is top notch.
C) The flavor and clouds are outstanding. IMHO better than the Mage or Moonshot.
D) The coils it comes with CAN be rebuilt. Easily. Think about that. They come with an exotic coil in their prebuilt coil that can be rewicked and dry burned and last months.
E) The size of the tank is perfect. It's nice and small. My only complaint is that like the Moonshot and Mage the drip tip is a little finicky and short. That is my ONLY con.
F) You will find these under 20 dollars all over the web.

So its not a big as tank like the Supreme or Boreas. For a big ass tank still under 30ml the Supreme reigns. But for a mini tank this is better than the Serpent mini which I love, the Mage which is great, the Axiom (which I just found out can heat up enough to burn the peek insulator) and the Minos (new kid on the block that is pretty good). Now I still need to test the new Goblin mini V3. I love Goblins too. But I cannot imagine any tank beating this one out for its size and functionality and price.

I looked up the dumptank and man, cool! What a monster.
