Easy to build RTA please?

I have a couple of TFV8 Babies and one TFV8 Beast, all with the factory RBA decks.

These things are a PITA to rewick, because inevitably the top threads on the RBA end up with more torque than the bottom threads, meaning when I open the tank to access the deck, it doesn't come out with the base of the tank, but ends up still threaded into the chimney. If I try to thread everything together without so much torque, it's leak city.

So... I have to dismantle the entire tank, glass and all, to unscrew the RBA. It's messy and takes more time.

What's a great RTA that's easy to access the deck, and doesn't leak?

TIA.

Engine (dual) and Nano (single) are easy to build and wick, zero leaks. Serpent SMM is also good and very easy to work with. Since discovering the Engine Nano I don't look at too many other rtas. Did pre order the GeekVape Zeus.

I just got an Ammit 25 and it was easy to build on and wick. I have had no leaks and the flavor is great.

I have the tfv8-x baby rta deck ... same prob. Honestly I'm pr tty fed up with rtas. I just assume drip.

Being a pretty new builder here myslef, I feel like I might have some good insight into what you are looking for (though I am going to be biased).

I currently only own one RTA and one RDA, a VandyVape Kylin and a Hellvape Dead Rabbit respectively. The Kylin RTA is the first thing I've ever built on, and I had success from my very first try (with just a bit of leaking). It uses a postless build deck which is very easy to build on, and once you get the hang of wicking it correctly, the thing doesn't leak at all! I love it! I use it as my vape when I'm not in the mood for chucking ridiculous clouds around.

Furthermore, its easy to do either dual-coil or single coil builds on. Right now I have it running a single spaced clapton and it was the easiest build yet.

How's the engine nano on juice? The TFV8 is a super hog, I fill it up like 5-6 times a day.

Not sure. Have 3 of them going. Using a tri core fc so probably not outstanding. But not annoying. I just honestly dob't care, so don't pay attention.

Another vote for either Engine, super easy to build and doesn't leak due to top airflow. Juice consumption would be less on the nano than the regular engine (same size as regular engine just single coil) but would be determined by your build/wattage. I've found the nano to be way more efficient power wise than my wife's big baby, with the build I put in it for her she gets the vapor production she wants at a lower wattage.

Have you engine users compared the flavor production to the Ammit or Kylin? I was going to order another Ammit but may try the Engine Nano.
I don't have either of those. For myself, the Nano has better flavor than the SMM or Engine dual.
