Thoughts?
I just love the ease of wicking with the juice holes being in the deck.
It's so like an RDA (which would explain the RDTA moniker).
I understand Roxy has co-designed a new monster of an RTA with that feature as well.
Should be threads about it both here and "over there", I don't recall the name.
The silicone AFC band never bothered me, I removed it fairly soon anyway.
The non-aligned airflow is a bit more contentious issue. I'm fine with fiddling with it.
Anyway... both of those have been dealt with for the Supreme and probably the v2 RDTA as well.
I suppose my biggest gripe with the v1 RDTA is how slow it is to fill.
This new one's top-fill will sort that out.
named boreas rta designed by augvape and Roxy
Go!I think so... but I could be wrong.

Thoughts?
You too?
they are very similar if I had to choose it would be the boreas it's cheaper, I think it has better airflow it's very smooth. It has a bigger deck than the supreme I like the overall looks of the black boreas better then the black aromamizer supreme. I like how the Supreme has independent juice flow control aND it doesn't leak when I fill it. The boreas definately will leak at times but I'm starting to figure out how to prevent it. They are both great tanks I haven't been using my drippers and I love drippers. But like I said if I had to choose it would be the boreas, now if they would release colored glass then the boreas would be perfect lolSo, after some real world usage, what are your thoughts? Aromamizer Supreme or Boreas?
When people fill they just open and fill...they dont follow the directions for filling..it will leak if you dont fill it correctly.So what is this leaking issue I keep reading about with the Boreas?
I do both the turn it upside down method and sucking juice into the coils with the afc/jfc closed and it seems to work most of the time. The aromamizer still wins in this department there's no extra steps you just close off the afc and jfc and fill it and it never leaks. The boreas is still better imo the leaking is a minor issue everything else with the boreas is better just an extra step or 2 to filling it.When people fill they just open and fill...they dont follow the directions for filling..it will leak if you dont fill it correctly.
I fill it like this and you can fill it to the brim without issues.
Flip tank and wait a second.
Close JC/AFC
Fill
Open to AFC/JC setting of choice and take a draw.
When you fill it and theres juice in the well section at the bottom you can create pressure that forces juice up and out the AFC holes and it will keep doing it until the pressure is relived, if you fill it like this or like the directions tell you, you wont have a single issue with the RTA-most people just dont read them or care to.
You dont need to prime it as your first hit is always wet but yes, following that you shouldnt have an issue.With all my tanks, I always:
No leaky. This should work the same with the Boreas, correct?
- close off the airflow and juice channels
- open
- fill
- close
- take a hit (sorta)
- open air flow
- take a hit
- open juice flow
- take a hit.
Yea that's what I also normally do sometimes I'll add turn it upside down halfway threw closing the fill cap and leave it upside down for like 10-20 seconds. The past few days I've been leaving the turn it upside down part out and it still seems to work with just taking like a half of a hit with the afc closedWith all my tanks, I always:

Let me know how the Supreme compares to the griffin 25 and the billow v3 plus. I'm very interested in both those tanks but haven't pulled the trigger on them because I have both the Supreme and Boreas and I don't want to waste my money...I finally got around to building my Aromamizer Supreme. I've only used it for a few hours, but WOW. I'm using a DIY Vanilla Custard that is my go to juice (I'm very familiar with it) and it almost tastes like I put too much flavor in it (It's the same batch that I'm using in my Billow V2 and Bellus). Lots of vapor and the flavor is off the charts. It's hard to believe just how much flavor I'm getting. So far color me very impressed :thumbs:. I have a Billow V3 Plus (25mm) and Griffin 25mm due in tomorrow but I can't see them being better the Aromamizer Supreme. I'm just sitting here with a big grin on my face .
PS I just have a simple 3mm 8 wrap spaced 28ga SS430 dual coil build on it (.42 ohms). I'm using TC, 430F at 40 watts on a Volcano Lavabox (DNA200). Very easy to build and wick. I'm almost speechless atm.
Cheers,

Yea that's why I didn't buy the griffin 25 I was looking forward to getting the 25 for months but know that I have the boreas I don't see a need for it...In my opinion there is no true RTA, Billow V3 Plus, Griffin 25mm, Herakles 24.7mm, Apache, VCMT, etc that compares to the performance of a well built Boreas or Supreme.
