I'm surprised there are not more haze RTA lovers out there.
After cleaning it about 5 times to get the oil taste out I absolutely love it with with a simple dual vertical 26g build. It vapes like an rda but I don't need to drip.

...So I'm holding out for something like the VCMT, but with a way to access your coils without draining your tank. And a better price point. A quad or triple coil deck would be nice as well...

I'm also hearing that Svoemesto has something up their sleeve to be revealed soon. I'm wondering if they will stick to MTL like airflow/build (nothing wrong with that IMO. I Still have 2 kayfuns in my rotation). Or join in the up and coming big air, big cloud oriented RTA war.

Well my Griffin has not leaked yet. Still bone dry. No film. Usual condensation in the base. AFC still clean. My wick was too much that was causing anemic vape in TC. Got that taken care of and it's much better. Wick tips just in the top of channels and no leaking.

The only real problem is my cap threads are a little rough. Getting the threads started is a bit of a guessing game. That sort of sucks. But every thing else is tight.

I also found that if the air flow control is closed more than a quarter, it begins to whistle a tad. I leave mine open all the way so no big deal to me. But it might bother some.

Overall, it's a great RTA. So much easier to build on and not worry about room.

So I had to Renwick mine cause I was trying something. Not too difficult sucking juice out. But that is something you don't expect you have to do these days. Overall it performs great and I love the tank. I'm glad I got it. But the only two things I would change are the AFC needs a stop, and the tank should be captured so you don't have to empty it. That's it. The juice control I don't really care about. Don't care if it has it or not. They should make it better or do away with it.

But other than that, it's my new go to. Just can't put it down.

Gotta say I'm a bit disappointed with the Griffin. I love that it has a huge build deck but disappointed that its difficult (for me impossible) to do vertical coils due to the position of the airflow holes on the deck. Also too many parts, for me at least & small tank capacity. I do like that its top filling though.

I'm getting great flavor & big clouds from SS in TC mode. A great tank overall but I still prefer my aromamizers over the griffin by a large margin.

Absolutely loving my black Bellus. Haven't used anything else since I got it a few weeks ago. Densest clouds of anything I've used thus far (not necessarily the biggest, but the densest, compared to my Crown, TVF4, GM, and the few RDAs I have). Surprised to read that people complain about it easily leaking, as the thing I love most about it (besides the flavor and dense clouds) is that it never leaks on me! Granted, it will seep a bit when I open back up the airflow after refilling, but a quick wipe and that's it. Rewicked it three times now, and no problems. I put down my GM because, after that first wicking, I couldn't get it to stop leaking, so I've been very happy with how easy my Bellus has been to wick.

I have a Crius clone coming from Fasttech, so I'll be curious to see how that performs against my legit Bellus.

I may have to get myself one of those

Where do you position your coils i go a little high so air passes by and hits the back of the other coil. Well atleast i think it does haha. And ive got the crius cloe bellus is still my fav cluds are about the same but bellus flavor is #1.

I only want an authentic. Sourcemore.com has them for 27.20. Looks like efun has them for 20 bucks right now. Does efun ship pretty fast? For example, from sourcemore and cvaper, packages always arrive within 8 days from China. FT is usually double that.

It's a really sexy tank. My first black tank and love how it looks on my black Sig v1 100. Don't know who's selling for the best price atm, I got mine from 101vape for about $22 when they were doing a Christmas sell.

I've just coiled it once, but the center of the inner diameter is about right at the level of the top post hole, so ya, a little high. Mainly happenstance though, since I'm still running my first coil.

I only use RTA's now. I want a Tobeco Super Tank Mini but cant find the RBA heads not good ones at least suggestions? I just can't see paying $13 for coils it's like the razor blade & cartridge marketing to me, just way to much wasted $$ for my cheap ass!! At the moment in my rotation I have The Goliath V2, Goblin V1.2(O.G.), Goblin Mini, Zephyrus V1 and the V2. I also have a Lemo Drop I use, just not as much as my UD RTA's. I can say that both the Goblins have great flavor easy to build for me at least running 24G A1 Kanthal w/7 wraps @ 2.5mm dual coil comes to about .25 Ohms, also if you are having trouble with either Goblin versions leaking watch Grimm Green's build tutorial all in the wicking, WORKS AWESOME NEVER HAD A LEAK, FLOOD etc. since going to the method in his Goblin Mini build video. I have had the Zephyrus V2 for 2 weeks & no surprise UD improved on the original version from the bigger build deck to the top fill and the AFC allows for much better control IMO. I still use and like the V1 but V2 is better by leaps and bounds! In my experience & opinion YOUDE seems to have great designs at the most affordable prices. I have some new RTA's coming on the slow boat from China but @ good prices waiting on an Authentic Black Bellus - $22 and Authentic OBS Crius V3 S.S.- $20 Plus a few others but these are what I cant wait to try! I am really looking forward to getting these from GB & they came with free shipping. From every where I shopped these were the lowest prices I was able to find using PayPal. Also have an order from FT should be here any day now basically more Goblins & Cthulhu V1's for vertical coil builds( IDK but I think it was a typo as FT has authentic Cthulhu V1's for $11.50 I will be shocked if they are authentic, will post back on delivery) Anyone know of any GOOD RBA sections for the Atlantis style coils? If so please PM me any help would be gratefully appreciated!!!

I can't wait to get my Crius if anyone is looking to get one at a good price gearbest has them for the next few hours for $19.99 + F.S. just an FYI... I was wondering for any of you that have the Crius V3 is the deck big enough to fit claptons with out it being a pain in the ass? I'm not talking huge like 2mm/2.5mm only cause instead of taking the time to make my own claptons I was thinking about trying the Pilot Vape pre twisted coils just saves so much time plus not that expensive for 50 or 100 coils either, I just thought I would ask before I pay for them

I noticed @WARCHOP37 mentioned this earlier in the thread to no avail. I just ordered the Ivogo velocity RTA, anybody have any insight on this RTA?

I figure if it vapes like the Velocity RDA, it's a win-win purchase.

I'm not really a noobe to tanks after 4-5 months, but haven't tried building yet. Recent additions include a TFV4 that I'm just getting acclimated to with the prebuilt Clapton (great flavor), and an Aromamizer RDTA.

If I had no fear of regulations potentially making coils difficult to obtain (or worse), I would buy the prebuilts for now, due to time constraints with work. But if there's a need to become self-sufficient, I need to get busy learning. As an alternative, I briefly tried the new Freemax ceramic coils for longevity, but from what I've seen, the longevity claims may be presumptuous, and- with the tiny wicking holes and being very power hungry, I wound up giving the pack of coils away. I know there are 5 or 6 other ceramics/tanks in the works or recently arrived, but that's probably a bit off-topic.

I thought the Aromamizer would be the answer. To someone like me, there's very little room to work, or even rewick. It's got a small base and a small deck that screws into it.

I don't need to experiment with all sorts of builds yet, but I could start by replicating a build that works, using the ohm's meter to stay safe.

Do I get one of the TFV4 options (and if so, which is best for newcomer), or is there something altogether better in the way of an RTA, or RDA that has a few ml of juice capacity? I guess if the Aromamizer is typical, I need to learn it, but it sure looks "compact."

There are plenty of tutorials and YouTube videos, but first, I want to start with the right equipment, and I'm open to suggestions. Thanks....


If your'e having trouble with "room" to build on the Aromamizer, you may be out of luck in the RTA world. Just sayin.

Ya, I might just not have the hands for this. Going to try single coil TF-RCA. Worse comes to worst, there's the new EHPRO Bachelor. I like the several sub ohm tanks that I have, though coil availability over time is anyone's guess.

WTF? Am I seeing that right? You have to have your wicks dropped down into the tank for that one? I mean it will work, but I gotta wonder if the wick will suck up enough juice to prevent dry hits at high wattages. I would also think that it would go through juice ridiculously fast because of the long wick it has to travel up to get to the coil. Has anyone tried one of those?

It's a "Genesis-style" RTA. Yes: It works. Just think of the tank as a giant RDA deck well :)

I wonder what the post width on that thing is, and what is the material at the bottom of the deck?
