I can recommend the SquapeR with great zeal! Despite being a single coil with centre airflow....it is quite good. Best feature is that you can re-wick without dumping your juice...and has adjustable airflow.
I am also two weeks from receiving a Kayfun V4.

I second the SquapeR. Only drawback is filling it. Advantage, as Franciscan said, is that you do not need to dump your juice. On the downside you will need a very small tip for your fluid. If you have a good syringe already your good to go. I would add that I find it very easy to rebuild.

I have started just tilting the tank and letting juice run down the inside from just below the threads....seems to work just fine in a pinch.

what would you say the airflow is comparable too? i do like that you can recoil without dumping, definate plus. Kayfuns, as much as i would like to try one, i cant seem to bring myself to buy something im pretty sure i wont like due to the restrictive airflow.

Wee better than the Kayfuns...not as much as the Orchid.

i have heard many good things about the billow as well. thats one i have been strongly considering. The orchid is actually the most restrictive i would want to go in terms of airflow. i know the billow has tons of airflow, but i wonder how the flavor is compared to the orchid and the lemo. @chickenmonkey how would you say the flavor is

The flavour is excellent. I love it. I am now spoilt for choice. The dual coils really help the flavour and the vapor. I have the lemo and the orchid. They are all great. I think the Billow is number 1 at the moment. It seems to make the flavour richer.

Indeed....but you would have to bin the adjustment ring.
not such a bad trade off i suppose

I believe it is better all around. When I first got the orchid it was my favorite. But I had a tank cracker and I was devastated. So I searched for glass and wanted the billow, but they were our of stock. I bought the lemo, waiting for the billow to come back in stock. I enjoy the lemo. The billow became available and it arrived yesterday and I am blown away. I would be surprised if it can get any better than this. They talk about a kayfun killer. I think the Billow will be the new gold standard for a rta.

I like most things about the Billow....the finish is about the only turn off. What I plan on doing is to do a side by side against the Kayfun V4 as they seem VERY similar in design.

What don't you like about the finish? It's stainless like all the rest.

Not a fan of polished finishes.....to lazy to buff it to matte. This would not prevent me from getting one...as I am a function over form kind of loon.
I don't buff shit. Rinse dry, dry burn, wick, fill vape. Ahhh
Oops sorry, just got what you meant to buff the finish. Ha

I wanted a Billow but saw a few posts about leaking problems, so I decided to watch discussions regarding that for a bit. I do like my Lemo a lot.

Most leaking issues are common to the Kayfun, Orchid, Billow, Lemo.......all having basically the same design of bottom deck. Despite what some say.....keep the wicking away from the juice channels.....keep the wicking away from the air holes.......keep the deck around the air holes free of juice. When priming the coil/wick prior to assembling the atty...use a MINIMAL amount directly on the coil...just a "dab'll do it"...same with the wick itself. Just make things MOIST.

Also....try to avoid filling the entire tank. Leave about a 2mm gap of air so that when you return the tank to the upright position...there is enough room for the piston action of the liquid to establish vacuum.

PRO TIP: Sometimes the juice channels will get "air locked", meaning there is a trapped bubble in the channel.....this will also cause leaking. Best way to clear is to invert the mod/atty, and vape it upside down under power....about two pulls. This clears the bubble. Some also blow out the air hole whilst still upside down.

these are all wonderful tips for any rebuildable tank user. thanks brotha

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the New Kid On The Block-the Kanger Subtank.
Checkout P.Busardo's review where he compares it to the Atlantis-and the Kanger proves a mighty tool.
I have a couple but both are still in transit so I'm only going on other folks recommendation-which, I agree, isn't really the point of the thread. All my RBAs have already been mentioned, though, so I threw this one into the ring.

@murawskijoshua , i do see the love for the subtank, but, i do feel like its a step backward, the rebuildable part of it doesnt impress me much when there are rebuildables that are great. the subtanks best use i think is a no fuss tank for people who arent into rebuilding. the size kills me too, as i am a mech guy, it would look ridiculous on anything i have
 
I understand were u come from an u r in titled too ur opinion but i do not like to brag but i feel i am very skilled at rebuilding an i use i wide variety of rbas but the aspire has excited all the expectations i had for it for that reason it has become a permanent part of my collection i just don't care for kangertechs products..now don't get me wrong if u wanna chuck some serious clouds i would go a different way

That's my only criticism is that it's a strange size-all my mods are 22mm and this thing is 25-so this is going to feel a bit weird-I like the idea of switching from pre-built coils to RBA-not that I've used a pre built for some time, but that was because they just didn't hit the spot, apparently this one does, or so the 'Great' P.Busardo says.

The Lemo is my only RTA so far. So I won't be able to compare what is better. Loving it so far. :)
