I’m a big squonker/dripper... I do love RTAs but I just haven’t been using them much lately... i already have a reload but I’m kinda bored of them and haven’t used them at all lately. I wanna grab one just not sure which one. I know the Engine 2 hasn’t come out yet but I’m debating between the Engine 2, Zeus Dual and the Bravo. Any input or other suggestions would be great. I tend to prefer dual coils.

I've seen some really good reviews on the bravo and the Engine 2. The Zeus seems to be a mixed bag. Just my humble opinion but I would drop the Zeus dual coil and add the Themis into the mix. :)

What I didn’t like about the Themis was the cage for air flow... I figured the Zeus was basically an upgraded Themis....

It's up to you dude. I kind of see the other way. To me the Zeus is a cheap knockoff of the Themis. Personally I like the airflow design much more on the Themis. But... you're the one that's going to vape it so if you feel the Zeus is the better option of the two then roll with it. :vino:

Got the engine 2 coming this week mate looking forward to it

Bravo I’m using at the moment finally got round to using it after buying in April lol (excuse my dog in the background)
personally I think it’s a really good flavoured atty, one of the best ive tried of the releases this year (haven’t got round to reviewing it been really busy with forum bits ;) ....but there’s a spoiler)...Has a nice airflow range which will suit you ....top cap gets hot, but drip tip is tall enough for it not to be a problem...build deck is a ok but there’s some things I don’t like about it however some of that might be personal preference...works really nice with a 510 if that’s your thing. Have to nail the wicking though or you get punished when refilling...it’s nowhere near as painful as the kylin mini was to wick and they share similar flavour standards (oh the matte black version looks the nuts ;) )

Themis and Zeus take you pick they are the same tanks Zeus DC just has a different side airflow ...Themis is a really nice vape a little dry on the inhale compared to some ....piss easy to wick and build on. Flavour is really nice for top airflow but don’t be expecting Reload good ...I personally only use a 510 on it ...was loving it on the mech pro ...reviewed these three already (the Zeus was the single coil though)

To this day I rate amongst my favourites

The Ijoy Exo - flavour is so very good still my favourite using the dual coil deck (top cap can be a pain in the ass though and it’s tough to adjust afc when screwed in and finally build quality is just ok)

Reload - we’ll you know about this... enough said better build quality than the Exo for sure

Kaees Solomon V1 - Reload level flavour but cheap as you like, perfect balance of everything for my personal style ...I forced myself to stop using it cause it was making reviewing difficult haha

All of these share similar fairly restricted airflow which is probably why I like them so very much

Bravo ...is probably just behind the Solomon in flavour still very good especially with a 510...


The fatality RTA by QP designs might want to look into that mate it’s on my probable wish list even if I have to wait till Christmas and the hype has died down a little

Also interested in the Churchill RTA (the biggun)

Finally if I had the dosh I’d definately be after the Scottua “the tank V3”

Thanks for the EXTENSIVE reply brother.... I’ve been so caught up in designing my mods that I’ve had little to no time to check the forum lately!

I actually grabbed the Zeus Dual and the OBS Engine 2... I receive the Zeus first and had an absolutely horrible time with it. I cleaned it extensively but can’t seem to get this damn taste out of it... MAYBE machine oil but I honestly don’t know. It’s the worst tasting machine oil I’ve come across if that’s what it actually is. I’ve taken it apart as much as possible without breaking it, ultrasonic cleaner didn’t work, rubbing alcohol didn’t work, nothing worked and I can’t even tell were the oil could be at this point. So bad that I’m actually returning it (shoutout to eciggity for having amazing customer service)...

The OBS Engine 2 on the other hand..... damn..... I’m in love with it. It was EXTREMELY easy to build on, IDK why some people are having issues (just turn the RTA upside down when installing the coils and gravity does the work for you keeping them in place)... wicking was VERY simple as well. The flavor is on point IMO.... I do think the Reload had a bit better flavor but not enough to justify the chance of leaking vs no leaking with the top airflow. This is actually the first strictly top airflow tank I’ve used (besides the Zeus for all of 1 min) so I do have to get used to the way the airflow feels when inhaling... not nearly as smooth as a reload (or other bottom/side airflow rta) BUT I’m assuming it’s pretty smooth airflow for a top airflow RTA. The way you fill the tank is just brilliant.... it should be the standard for ALL tanks at this point. Another thing that I’m happy about is the 510 Driptip. I haven’t used one of these things since the Goon came out and I think I actually miss the performance of them. I do like how OBS used a 510 that has the appearance of an 810 though, it just feels better then the old skinny 510s from back in the day. Besides performance, I think it looks gorgeous. I got the black rendition and it’s that beautiful matte black, not glossy... just looks stunning. Normally I hate when tanks (or rda) mix the color, I.e how the Wake RTA is completely gold except for the top and bottom ring that justifies what color the tank is considered. The SS chamber on the Engine 2 actually looks really good with the black. I’d probably still prefer if it were all Black, but it does look good this way and I just thank god that there’s not gold everywhere (What’s up with all the gold everywhere on everything, ughh I hate it!)!!! Drip tip is sexy af also!

So besides getting a great tank out of this deal, I think I also found that I really miss the 510 drip tips. I’m going to have to find and buy some that LOOK and feel like an 810 for my other devices.
