Need new rebuildable RTA! Opinions...
- Thread starter rades
- Start date
I am an orchid user. I use it with a KF4 tank and drilled out air channels and milled out juice channels. I love it. No need for tools for filling. Only downfall is that you need a needle tip bottle.
So I ordered a billow V2. Looks like a winner for me. I don't have it yet so i will see if I like it or not.

This thing's a blast. Comes with various coils (dual, tri, and quad coils), and a single coil RTA too (dual coil RTA is available).
I recommend the "full kit".
And the "TF-R2" dual coil RTA (sold separately) is awesome.
Voluminous vapor and great flavor.
Happy vaping.

The dual coil TF-R2 is sweet I ordered it right after I got the TVF4 its almost as good as my Bellus in fact on some juices betterThis thing's a blast. Comes with various coils (dual, tri, and quad coils), and a single coil RTA too (dual coil RTA is available).

I really like the way this thing looks now surely that should not be a reason to get it but I have most of the major tanksI'm looking at the new OBS Crius. It seems to have everything I'm looking for.
I dont have the Nano maybe its better me no like the Billow V2 that much its ok at best..
Been using the OBS tank for a day and has potential to be my top pick, after few more days might be able to confirm. This would be over Goliath v2, Bellus, Crown, TFV4, Zephyr us and others I forget.
Airflow is very open, juice control is bonus for transport and filling, and filling extremely easy. I really like the Bellus, does not leak per say just seems that with coil right next to airflow will get some spit back, not really and issue. Only other thing comparing Bellus would be airflow is good but not as open on OBS.
Edit: have indulgence coming today / Monday that many have liked, also waiting on black Cthulhu v2 on backorder that could be contenders.
With the TFV4, it is rising up list again after putting in pre-built dual Ni coil, amazing but wants lots of power. Also just got the dual rba deck and will give it a go after I burn out current coil. Very mixed (love/hate) relationship I have with this one.

Ugh I wish you didn't show me this! Lol. I was almost set on the Goliath v2. But this, this looks awesome. It almost looks like a better version of the Lemo 2 which is my everyday tank.
So opinions guys. It's down to the OBS Crius or the Goliath v2....
WHICH ONE!!?!?!?

My go to for a while there was the billow v2. Then I got the bellus, more flavor, easy to build, single coil option. Airflow is damn near identical to an RDA.
And then I picked up the crius, I actually like the crius more than the bellus. The bellus, has better flavor, but the crius feels like a better vape(can't understand that one). N any event, the billow v2, has been relegated to backup/part time tank and the crius is my adv.

The crius has airflow coming from under the coil, similar to most rtas, the bellus has direct airflow from the side more similar to a side airflow RDA

Really is that what those holes are for? What next ya gona tell me that the posts are for coils. Or this time you gona be a fucking nazi again and try telling me I can't ask ?s on top of having an opinion. I'm just woundering how they compare in flavor vape & how easy to wick etc.
Rocks on! And thanks
I can see right now that the Crius might be a little harder to wick, but nothing that can't be done. There's 4 circle holes where the wick goes, kinda like a little ring around the deck where the holes are.

I found it a whole lot easier than the bellus. You just trim it a little different. The big thing to watch for is not to stuff those little pockets; just kind of let it sit in there. Hopefully skiball wont get to upset by me posting this; focusing my life on trying not to reach into my nazi heritage.
I think I actually like it. Reminds me of an RDA deck. Where the juice can hang out and sit and saturate the cotton, I doubt anyone will have an issue with dry hits on this bad boy, leaking? That may be an issue but there's adjustable juice flow so that problems solved as well, I'm pumped about this guy!

I love the design, like a mini rda.

Roger that, I haven't had a leak or a dry hit yet. I've built with both 24g and 26g and I keep the juice flow wide open.
I agree for sure, I'm just gonna leave the AF wide open and I think enough will get in and under where it won't be a noticeable difference.

You'll probably really enjoy then!
That's about what I discovered. The bellus does have much better flavor with my adv juice, but the vape was so cool that it just weirded me out I guess? In two years of vaping, and, I have tried most RTAs that have been out in that time, its definitely a unique vaping experience. Not bad at all, just different. Its kind of like vaping a tobh but with a cool vape. -only way I can think to explain it.

That's how you fill it.
Think lemo2....
You close the afc, close the juice flow and pull the top up to reveal that hole. Then fill.
Push the top down open it all back up and vape away.
Takes like 3 seconds. The top sort of telescopes up.

That dual coil rta looks great. Building on looks great. Airflow looks great. Tank looks great.
Tell me it's not a leaky tank. I've got the TFv4 (pictured earlier in this thread) and it tends to leak on the go. I want a dual coil rta tank that I can take with me (currently only travel with a subtank mini). This OBS Crius looks pretty tight.
How are the o-rings and such? High quality? Are the screws on the rta deck solid or are they crappy stripper screws?
Been using the OBS for a few days not and very impressed, just received the Indulgence yesterday and also impressed. Between the two flavor and airflow very similar. Give a big edge to OBS for juice control, each time fill indulgence get big leak. Sure I have under wicked and will sort out, but top fill ease of OBS will put ahead.

I love this because I'm a huge Lemo 2 fan. From the looks of it it could be a Lemo 3.
Added features: juice flow and dual coil deck.

I just got the new mutation X Rta deck is just like the rda just smaller.I am
I really like the way this thing looks now surely that should not be a reason to get it but I have most of the major tanks
I have two Goliaths, like 'em immensely. the V2's. Using the RBA section, with the 'cheaters', as emergency back-up.

I find the bellus has a better flavor than the aromamizer but it's close. Both are very airy even with shutting down the bellus to half open on the AFC. That said I love my bellus. And the aromamizer also sits on one of my mods without the ugly vape band AFC. I have not tried the OBS. I have used a goblin mini which I traded ( too damn hard to fill for so little juice capacity ) and also traded away a zephyrus - the other RTAs were simply better.
Now I've heard complaints about the deck size. Truly I'm not building alien coils or claptons in my RTAs. I'm fine with 24 gauge wrapped at 2.5 for a build just under .3 ohms. I have RDAs for the fancy builds. RTAs are ADVs. I don't need to vape at high wattage at work (nor do I want to). I want a bit stealthier vape.
I guess it comes down top preferences. There are so many good RTAs out now, so many good sub ohm tanks. It is hard not to enjoy a vape these days. I know some of you remember when we though the mini nautilus was the cat's meow. In fact the new nautilus coils seem like they burn out a lot quicker. We have moved past the nautilus. Then came the kanger mini (I still use one occasionally) and we were raving about it. Itt was really good for it's time. It still is not bad. But the new RTAs blow those tanks away.
All the new sub ohm tanks now seem to come with RBAs as well and there are some very, very good tanks out there. How to choose? My mod and tank collection is growing every month now, lol. Is there too much of a good thing?

Hey just got my bellus and it's my first dual coil rta. I'm running twisted 26g on 2.5mm bit 8/7 wrap solid coils. It's showing 0.15 omhs on my evic-vtc. That doesn't seem right to me and steam engine shows it should be a lot higher (i think) idk much about dual coil. Also the base is getting super hot.
I vote for the Cirus too, got my 1st one about a week ago, and already ordered a 2nd one ( I very rarely buy 2 of the same tank)
It is actually very easy to wick, 1st build I was excited to try it and just stuffed cotton down the channels and filled it up, and it vaped great, not had any wicking problems at all, even ran dual claptons in it, and just keeps on going, most all the tanks I've had, there has been a bit of learning curve and knack on how they liked to be wicked, but 1st rushed wicking and run great, no dry hits and no leaking, even when re-filling, the juice control is a real plus to it.

Dual coil essential cuts the resistance in half. Say you have 5 wraps of 30g and its reading .4 ohms, if you do 2, 5 wraps of 30g it'll than be .2 ohms (I just made those figures up as an example)

Iv checked all my connections and when I pulse it's all good there's no arcing. Yes it gets hot after 6 pulls just figured it was the nature of dual coil idk.
