Tank advice needed please

After nearly 40 years buying cancer sticks and the normal progression from the e-cigarette / Ego T to my current 20 watt istick and Nautilus 6ml tank I'm finally ready to move to a rebuildable. I'm looking for something with a decent capacity (i'm a mobile field engineer and spend 7 hrs a day in the car) and something that's not a pain in the arse to rebuild. I'm now making my own juice and loving the higher VG but could do with something better to put it in.....So any large capacity rebuildable suggestions gratefully recieved.

Choice #1 for quality ejuice and air adjustability The Aromamizer Supreme
Choice #2 for air,build , easy build and killer clouds (The Boreas )
Choice #3 9ml gorgeous tank, hard to get and around $70.00 pricy but worth every cent.... My favorite (The Modfather 30mm rta )...... On number (3) because most can't handle the size and due to the price.....

Nice choice & pics Manny!
 
Many thanks for the heads up! I'm a greedy old git when it comes to tank capacity, hence why I've stuck with my trusty Nautilus for so long. Holds 6ml and fixed all the leaking issues. The Aromamizer Supreme has a good capacity and seems easy to build.....or is it? Don't want juice patches on my trouser leg like the old days lol

If you are MTL with the Nautilus then you would not be happy with the Aromamizer. I really highly recommend getting the Kayfun style Tank.

I would also agree that the Kayfun V5 is a more Nautilus-like experience (MT) than the other tanks mentioned - if you want to change your vaping style to a more, SubOhm, DTL one, then look into the others, but if you want a rebuildable that gives the same kind of vape that you're used to with the Nauty, then I'd go for the Kayfun IMO.

I'm not sure that I'd pay a premium for the SXK which seems to be nearly twice the price at some sellers, like Fasttech - although SXK do indeed generally make very nice products, the quality of the clones from SJMY et al appear to be good enough that I'd save the money and maybe use some of that saved cash to splurge on some quality o-rings, which is where the clones nearly always let one down (as well as the screws).

Luckily, the majority of clones are very well-machined these days, and the o-rings and screws are thankfully available for a relative pittance.

Clones are very hit and miss. I got the SXK due to a couple of comparison reviews to the Authentic. It's excellent quality and machining. The others like the Tobeco not so much. For $22 it's a great deal especially for the quality.

I knew as soon as I read the original post that big air, direct lung tanks would be suggested. Surprise, surprise. Terrible advice. Fucking terrible. Get a tank designed to be used in the manner you're going to use it. Ro55co is giving you good advice.

I really enjoy the alpha Ohmega bft. It's a 30mm rta and is fairly easy to build on, it's a bottom airflow with a velocity style tank. Flavor is great and the airflow I like. Also comes with a spare plastic see through tube that holds the fluid in in case you break the original and also comes with extra o rings and screws and a decent set of claptons to go with it.

I'm a bit late to the parade on this one but I got my first Griffin today and so far it's pretty good. Flavor isn't the greatest but still good. It's simple to set up and doesn't look half bad. It will go in my car trip rotation along with the dripbox.

That's the 22mm? Love that tank. Flavor is so good.

Also have this tank from FT.. build quality on the SXK is great .. very happy with it.

Excellent point! I failed to take into account the 20w istick in the org post also.
Many of us it seems do tend to think along the lines of what we like rather than the point of the org post. My thoughts also were to provide some options for growth/running room and focusing on the capacity issue.
Ro55co is def giving great advice. In retrospect and from experience also check out the fodi v2, as that might fit the bill a bit better re your current use or a limitless plus may fit the bill. I like both of those, easy to build on and can control the airflow well. I run both with a standard drip tip (as opposed to a wide bore) to restrict the airflow a bit just above MTL and on the low end of DTL. Works for me! YMMV

Get the Sense Herakles mini-RTA. The flavor is amazing. No dry hits. Easy to build. Now I just rewixcked my Moonshot. I love my M<oonshot but waht a pain in the ass just to rewick the mofo. Hearkles is perhaps one of the best RTAs of its size ever. So overlooked.
 
The most important thing for me is tank capacity. I am moving more toward direct to lung, already got rid of the airflow ring on one of my Nautilus tanks but the airflow through the aspire coils is limited as expected. The 20 watt istick has done me fine for the time I've had it but am considering moving on to a bigger box as well. Don't want to go crazy in that direction as at the moment i'm on a tight budget. Whats the minimum I'd need to run something like the suggested? Was looking at the tesla Stealth for pocket convenience.

Why the SXK Kayfun V5 Clone would be a good fit for you.

1. $22
2. Easy to build on
3. Easy to Wick
4. Looser air flow options
6. Outstanding build quality
