I don't have an avacado - but six boreas - mainly because folks with both seemed to overwhelmingly prefer the Boreas.

Tough call and 2 totally different tanks. The Avocado is a flavor and cloud machine but its a PITA if your a chain vapor because you are constantly filling it. The Boreas has a little less flavor but she is a big beast and while it's a thirsty tank she does hold a nice amount of juice. I love them both but if I had a gun to my head and I had to pick I would probably go with a Boreas.

I like liquid capacity. Noticed there are some interesting 30mm tanks out there with above 10ml capacity but.. it would look ridiculous on my coolfire 4 and g2 that's coming in.

My favorite tank is by far the limitless.. I have all three tanks. In my opinion beats the avocado in every way.. But if juice capacity is important to you then the boreas all the way. I don't own a coolfire or g2 but both tanks may hang over them. the limitless and avocado are both 24mm and the boreas is 25mm.. boreas is a great tank.. big tank. can leak sometimes if the wicking isn't perfect and even if you wick it perfectly sometimes when filling it it leaks a little. Get all three.

hmm boreas seems to be a clear cut favorite .. have never tried it .. but am happy with the avocado - doesn't leak, tastes great, yeah it does need to be filled more often ;p

G2 is 24mm wide so anything bigger than that will overhang but I'm not worried about 25mm overhang.

Been looking at the limitless but didn't like the drip tip design with no option of a different tip

Boreas for me. I'm not interested in the Avocado, because I probably wouldn't like the wicking speed.

It's really not as bad as many make it out to be. Will it match the Boreas? Naw, not unless you flip it over, but it keeps up well enough. If I had to choose one it'd be the Boreas, but my 22mm Avocado is my favorite vape right now.

The limitless and the avocado will keep up with the craziest of chain vapors.. There will be no problem with wicking speed of either of those two rdta's. both mine always look really saturated and have never had a dry hit on either of them.. The boreas on the other hand I noticed sometimes after some time the wicks will need to be changed cause they don't wick as well anymore.. the boreas to me is either you put little wick and have it leak or you put more wick and it works great but i think over time the wick settles weird and it doesn't wick as well.. my wicks in both the limitless and avocado both have never had a wicking problem.. in fact the wicks seem to last longer then the coil.

I never have wicking issues with the Boreas, and I am a serious chain vaper.

I actually like the the limitless tip.. to each their own I guess.. but you can use the kennedy drip tips or the griffin drip tips if you like those.. Also for all that say the avocado has better flavor... let me tell you you will really have to be paying attention as you vape to notice it.. the flavor is only slightly better.. not enough to over shadow the ease of use over the avocado in my opinion.. But if single coil and needing to use a 510 drip tip is your thing then yes get the avocado for the limitless lacks in both those areas. I love both the limitless and the avocado but my hands seem to always reach for the limitless over the avocado..

Lol, I see you on all these comparison threads.. I think you are as much as a boreas fanboy as I am a limitless fanboy.. Don't get me wrong I love my boraes it is my go to when i am out. but in my opinion wicking is not as easy or full proof as the limitless or avocado.

I'll check out some Avocado reviews. I've only read about them here on VU. Thanks.

I don't need a 510 or anything. Just seems as if the limitless tip is too short for my liking. But I haven't tried it so I would have to try it before I could make the decision of actually not liking it.

not having tried the boreas i can't compare .. might have to pick one up... just got done checking out the limitless reviews and such that does look good as well .. running the avocado atm and can't really complain.. wish it had a screw on top tho - would make life easier for us clumsy people! should have another (showing up shortly I hope) ... lost the top of the one :(

or the avocado 24 .. dual coil there and .. actually could dual up the regular avocado .. but then would be a real pain to fill ;p

It's not that bad, tweezers or a pick of any kind, pull one tail out, fill, push tail back in. All in all it doesn't take me any more time than filling the Boreas (probably less considering that massive tank to fill on the Boreas). It's a "pain" but in reality it's quick and easy if you have any sort of pick type tool to use (I've used toothpicks a few times, but typically tweezers).

I love the Boreas for one simple fact. I can fit 3.5 mm coils in it. That's where I find the thickest vape.

I have 3.5mm coils in my 22mm Avocado :D, 2X28g/40g FCs so thin, but I was able to get 4mm ones in as well just didn't seem to work as well so dropped back down to 3.5mm.

true that.. also a needle tip bottle i would think would be able to 'squeeze on by' the cotton.. yep .. am convinced .. once the new 22mm gets here, will thro a dual build on .. should be kick'n !

Yeah, a fatty clapton wrap like say a 24g/32g you may have issues with at that ID but with the thinner wire there's more than enough room. The Boreas is a good bit bigger though.
