Hi All, Anthony Vapes back here with my review of Steam Crave Glaz RTA V2. Please see bottom for disclaimers and links. Note this is not marked as a sample but could be an early version.
Introduction:
The Steam Crave Glaz RTA V2 is the latest RTA from steam crave who i consider to be a very underrated manufacturer. They don’t push out a new RTA every month like many so they aren’t very popular or always talked about but they usually are on point when they do release a product. The Steam Crave Glaz RTA V2 is the updated version of the original one i reviewed last year and is a 31mm dual coil DTL RTA with postless deck and 7-10ml capacity. It’s available in 3 colors Black, SS and Gunmetal and is available on their site directly for around 44 USD with a code they have going until the end of april.

Initial Impressions and features
When I first got this RTA I was pretty impressed. I already reviewed the OG one and this one seemed to have fixed most of, if not all my cons. The deck for this is also compatible with the original one and more fitting for a 31mm RTA then the original. It’s also not as fragile and doesn’t have glass threading and they threw in a bubble tank. Overall was pretty happy with the RTA and the improvements. Also note that the box it was sent in was for the original one so they haven’t made packaging for this but i’d assume it is the same just with the right name and info on it as they have had the same boxes for many years.
Build Deck and Wicking (pics above)
Let’s talk about the build deck now. It’s a basic Postless deck with a bottom airflow. The post holes are nice and large to accommodate any wire type. The post screws are nice quality hex grub screws which are my favorites and 12 spare ones are included 4 silver and 4 black hex grub screws and 4 silver flat head screws so same as the OG but 1 added set for flathead as well. The screws come in from the side in a way that flat wires like fused claptons won’t be bent when installing. Since it is postless you do need to precut your leads. I found around 4mm as the best length for me and positioned over the airflow as close to the top part as i can get without shorting. Plenty of room as well to fit a 4mm ID coil or bigger. Overall it’s an excellent deck that’s easy to build on but may not be ideal for new builders because postless decks aren’t always the easiest to build on since you have to pre-cut your leads and they didn’t include a tool for pre-cutting which would have been nice to have and it seems more and more companies are including those these days.
Wicking on this one is super easy. It wicks pretty well so you don’t need to go super thin on your wicks. Just make sure not to overstuff them and drop them right in the cutouts made for them and leave a little bit of room. Really simple and easy to wick
Performance
Performance wise, I used it as a dual coil RTA only. I ran 4 builds in it. 3 fancy builds at 3mm ID, 3.5mm ID, and 4mm ID and once simple round build at 4mm ID. It’s DTL for sure, and not restricted like the original. It’s best used with 4mm ID coils and large fancy builds and high wattages. In those cases performance was excellent from this RTA. I get good intensity of flavor and good accuracy. Overall a good performing 30+mm RTA that needs a big build and high watts to be it’s best like you would expect from a such a large RTA.
