Yeah some older items work good with modern technology..... I haven't used that Boreas tank in almost (2) years.....

Slammed a pair of (3)core aliens and the taste is way better than I remembered......

I was like Dang ...... I remember @JuicyLucy was a good friend Of Roxy who designed The Boreas RTA......

Still going to pick up the Reload RTA on your numerous recommendations @MannyScoot, but I had some store credit at my local vape shop and picked up a Dead Rabbit RTA last night for like $25. My 2 other RTA I was not a fan of and have been strictly RDA since, so I figured I'd at least try another highly recommended RTA before I dropped all those $ on a Reload. I have to say, I shouldn't have made a decision on a whole tank style based on my poor purchase decisions (Kylin RTA).

It's a funny thing. Every time I recommend an atomizer someone tells me his does not work. Happened with the Glaz and the Helo.

RTAs are user dependent. You need to use the right coil, install at the right height, wick it properly, etc. Otherwise a good RTA becomes a bad one.

I have also found a lot of less expensive RTAs are really good ... the aforementioned Dead Rabbit, the Gear, the OBS engine 2 ... quite a few really. Sure a Scottua is nice, a Fatality is nice ... but there are lots of good tanks out now under 45 dollars ...

The same happens to me a lot also. Makes me feel like no longer wanting to recommend any atomizers to anyone, but IMO the whole assumption that RDAs aren't equally as user dependent as RTAs is common fallacy at its finest, and, the simple fact I can get a moderately warm vape (that leans much closer to coolness rather than warmth) out of a certain coil build in a certain RDA, whereas others will attribute a hot vape to it, is all the proof I need to back up my claim about that in full. Sure, RTAs ride a thin balance between 1/ stuffing too much cotton too firmly into the juice holes so that the flavor gets muted, usually also causing dry hits, and 2/ having the cotton cover up the juice holes too loosely so that the thing leaks. But the best RDAs, if using them properly with the best coil builds whilst taking all the necessary patience to get the most from them (or close), will give you naturally higher expectations, which tend to magnify the level of user dependence a serious lot. So much so, ultimately these higher expectations make those "really good" RTAs (other than the Reload RTA) perform mediocre at best, after which you stereotypically get frowned upon for being an "elitist" (which always makes me chuckle). So, basically, pure envy is also a factor the importance of which easily gets underestimated by many, and, the vast majority of YouTube reviewers (and the loyal aposthles who surround them) obviously love to keep it that way, as they usually thrive on making average performing mainstream products sound more golden than any of the true high end stuff that's out there.

The Reload RTA is really mediocre..... That's why I have (5) legits..... And a really nice menthol taste with a teaspoon of wax (Vick's) wax........

Nice.... Set up.... I think The Wraith was one of the best Council of Vapor mods..... The RDA sucked that came with it.....

I bought that (3) 18650 mod... and that mod sucked real bad.....

This is the only CoV device I've used. I got it in a trade without the RDA, but I had heard it wasn't very good. I like this Wraith, though. The menu system isn't the greatest, but it isn't bad once you get used to it.

Yeah the company wasn't very high tech when it came to chips and displays...... Plain and simple chips... I guess that's what made them low cost.... But they do look good....

I tried an M3. I didn't care for it. I didn't notice any real difference in flavor, and it seemed to use more juice. So I went back to the M1 coils. This is my little cauldron of Falcons.
