Think I'll just wait for the Aspire Zelos to drop.

There's some dust gathering on this thread and I think it's time to kick it off! Has anyone gotten the Vika fantasy yet? What about the Origen 19/22 tank?
My bad...Still waiting on the Aspire Zelos.
I ordered a hurricane V2 and a SR V4 from china this week, got high hopes for least the hurricane v2, as like the 1st hurricane, and actually pulled that one out again this week and been using at work, only neg for me is it being bottom fill, got so use to top fill tanks nowadays.
Since some time this summer, I have been almost strictly DL. The other night I took a few pulls on the wifes nautilus mini and it was great (even though it was just menthol). I got up today and decided to try the Merlin mini in MTL mode with the smallest restrictor. It was no good. It was still too airy, even with the airflow closed down. I did try my favorite MTL drip tip, from the balrog tank but still too loose. I blame the chimney diameter. I feel you really need that narrow chimney along with the tight airhole.
If you want a nice MTL and you rebuild, the Origen Little from FT is a very good choice. I have been running a tricoil in it and although it is a PITA installing the first couple of times, it is well worth the effort. The only other drawbacks are the small volume (about 1 ml, maybe a little more ) and the fact that the whole thing is held together with o-rings. I have high hopes for the larger Origen 19/22. It should be here by Friday along with the Vika fantasy and the Nautilus mini, which I believe is the Cleito mini......maybe.
I will pick one up to try. I won one here thru aspire but It was a janky situation. Thus, no winning occurred which means I need to buy one.
I'm glad I'm not alone on that. I keep seeing people saying how much they enjoy the look, but then, maybe they just say that, since they're trying to win one, LOL.
I just need to replace the ones I broke. I figure I might as well try a top fill. I recently bought a Cubis Pro and not totally thrilled with it.
Oh you mean a flaming hoops of death contest that they claim you never won?
Yeah been down that road a few times.
Not with Aspire though.
It looks more like the original pro-tank but with a metal sleeve than it looks like a nautilus.
LOL for sure. Oh, they sent me a link and I tried checking out (to pay the one dollar fee) twice. I don't have pay pal but do have a CC/debit cared. I used that option and it didn't work. I told them about their link and got a canned stupid response. I don't think they understood. I gave my winnings to another member here and they couldn't get it to work. I'm working so I figure I'll buy one soon.
Just in, the Origen 19/22 clone from FT. This one is a two post single coil RTA . If you are unfamiliar with the Origen tanks, they have a rather unusual feeding system that relies on two thin tubes dropping from the fluid tank onto the cotton wick. You have to have an adequate amount of wicking material underneath the tubes, otherwise it is a leak fest. I have the Origen Tiny ( also from FT) and really like it for MTL. The Origen 19/22 is the larger version and I thought it would be just as good. Since I don't have the authentic, I couldn't tell you how close the clone comes to the real thing. Unfortunately, the 19/22 doesn't have the 1mm hole in the AFC ring, the one I like for MTL. The AFC should be great for those of you that like a looser MTL draw all the way to restricted DL. The AFC has a 1.4-1.5mm, 2.0mm and a cyclops opening roughly 2x3 mm in size. I will be back in a day or so with more on this, possibly a picture or three.
I'm still thinking "wait for the Zelos"
You could get the Vika while you wait.
Toss the link back up I got an extra $80 somehow.
It was suppose to be released by 3/3/2017. I'm looking for a US source.
I did contact vapenw last week and they told me....another two weeks.
Just checked their site. They are in stock but I was thinking they are a few bucks overpriced. 27.99https://vapenw.com/aspire-nautilus-2
IDK I really want the whole kit.

I am too! I might pick up the stainless to put on a pico. Still thinking...
Cthulhu MTL and the Merlin Mini are both great as MTL tanks and very versatile as well.

Yeah I saw that but I want the whole system not just the tank or I would've taken the dive.I'm getting stubborn in how I spend my cash recently.
Wow this is a thread I need to be on! I'm in dire need of upgrading my MTL setup since it's what I use in the house. Wife gets buggy if I fog our living spaces.
I know I'll get some chuckles, but my main MTL tank is a ProTank II. I bought a bunch of these guys back in the day in a group-buy and I'm starting to run out of coils (and tanks). Call me a creature of habit... they just kind work for me. I have it sitting on a Smoant Knight and while I reckon that mod might be on the heavy side it also does the job.
Anyway running low on tanks and coils... and my Knight's buttons are getting a bit mushy. So I'm looking for a whole new gig.

Yup! I have a couple of those new fancy Nautilus 2 tanks on the way, but I tried watchin that Vic guy and can't understand a word he's sayin. I'm an ole Texas boy and have pretty selective hearing.
Don't feel badly, I used the hell out of those, too. I had a hard time letting go! I had them in my "work rotation" for stealth vaping, under a year ago. Right now, I'm using Goblin Mini tanks, v1, v3 and an Aromamizer 4ml, closed WAY the hell down.
lol...Yea, it takes a bit of practice to get him down pat. I'm sure there's a few others floating around, twisted 420 might have one, I'm not sure.
Other than that, for the latest and greatest scan back through the last 15 or 20 pages and see what people have been talking about. If your into RTAs then I've heard good things about the Merlin mini as a MTL with the inserts(i own one but have strayed from the MTL and I run it full open) or the siren and the chithulu MTL as well.
Pbussardo is a MTL vaper, I think he started only reviewing products for MTL at the start of the new year, you could skim through his last dozen or so reviews and see what he's got.
On the first page of this thread, in my first post I started compiling a list of tanks and RDAs but I will admit, I've fallen behind on that due to work but there are still some great items listed there.
Yeah, my RTA experience kinda sucks. I get in the frame of "I really like this, I'm sticking with it". I rarely buy new gear. I do have WAY too many DIY flavorings, though.
I've got a bad habit of buying the older stuff instead of going with the newest. Like my last purchase was a griffin 25 mini. I should have went with the troll but didn't and now I want the troll but I stead I'll probably end up with something slightly newer than the griffin mini and still not be satisfied...lol
Now, DIY flavors I'm still trying to accumulate
Well, there's nothing wrong with how we do this. Everyone else tests it out, we buy the best of, this way, LOL. Usually at a lower price, too!
We're scrappers!
Great thread there aren't too many MTL ones out there.. brought the ole Nautilus Mini out of retirement a few months back and was excited to hear about the new N2 coming out. When I found out the coils were compatible with the old ones even more excited. Wanted to try SS coils but once again Aspire has not released any. I don't know why? Has anyone rebuilt the coils with SS and had any success in temp control?? If so what were the specs of the coil that you used? Thanks for any input.
Well I don't like fiddle... and RTAs seem to me to be a whole basket full of fiddle. If I could find a tank that could fills itself I'd be a customer for life.
I will admit I'm a bit of a mod junkie. I've been trying to find another Smoant Knight, but seems they've fallen off the face of the earth. I do like me some stealth mods in the side-by-side style. Hoping that Nautilus will drop in my Knight.
