It’s same with anything though, like camera gear for example. If you spent over $1000 on a starter photography set up, you’re going to make it work, and your Canon/Nikon/Sony will be teh bestest camera ever! I’ve been there :smiley: [Nikon are the best, of course] And spent a lot more over time.

On tanks, I own a good bunch of them, and only really use 3 regular. That tells me they’re the better ones, for ME. Others may well not share the same enthusiasm, who cares?

I’m not shy about being brutal about gear I bought either. I slammed the Bellus RTA all over the place after buying it, because it was pissing juice and I found it impossible to build on. I’ve since figured it all out though, and love that RTA now, but I wouldn’t recommend it to a beginner, that’s for sure.Other tanks I slated were the Herakles plus because of leaking, the Triton - just hated it, the darkhorse RDA, the Cubis, not really gone on the Melo III either … and I bought all of those. No problem down voting them for whatever reasons.

One of my favorite carry combos…it’s only 5.25 inches tall, from top of drip tip to the bottom, weighing in at 246 grams:

I love the Moonshot. It’s the one I grab when I’m out the door for a quick run to the store and back. Otherwise it sits on the little cabinet in my bathroom next to my old H.O.G. and Pipes and Tobaccos magazines. Juice capacity is the con here - otherwise it’s 5 stars IMO.

I’m with @Pro_Vapes on this one. The best I’ve tried to date is the Boreas. Where I feel it may be less than Vapocalypse worthy is all the bloody o-rings. I think it’s more a tank for the semi-advanced builder though. There are a number of things you can do wrong that will result in a less than stellar vape experience. Still it’s my absolute fave and I’m never without one loaded and running. Flavor is A+ contrary to what I’ve heard.

The Theorem - hasn’t lived up to the hype for me although I do find it a really good vape - for a few minutes anyway. Big con is that glass. I have strong hands and most times when re-wicking I feel like I could break the glass trying to get it off. I’ve tried wetting the o-rings with some vg before assembly but a couple times it’s been very hard to remove. The last time the bottom o-ring rolled up and coupled with the top one. What a bitch to remove! If it ever happens again we’re through! This was my first (and last) Genesis style. Never again.

As for Vapin’ Heathen - love his reviews. Opinionated but humble. I don’t agree with 100% of what the man says but he seems to give honest opinions rather than a simple sales pitch. He and Busardo would make a good team.

But it’s back to ā€œI agree because it’s the best I’ve triedā€ - i.e, you cannot compare it to many others you haven’t. That’s no different to what I was stating. If we’re all only allowed go by what we’ve tried, then there never will be a best and it’s all a load of nonsense. I say The Avocado 24 and Cleito RBA are better than most others out there atm, because I have them, and they’re great … :wink:

Yeah the Cleito RBA is great!

If someone is saying a tank or mod is the best or worst and they haven’t tried them, then why listen to them…or better yet, why are they even talking? :slight_smile:

None of us can make a sound assessment of a tank we’ve not vaped on, so ā€œthe best I’ve triedā€ is letting people know, I haven’t tried them all. Frankly I can’t see myself getting them all. I don’t have that kind of time or money!

BOREAS is best RTA I’ve tried, that’s my story and I’m sticking to it. :innocent::innocent:

The reviewers I tend to trust don’t bullshit, plain simple. I like straight up critics/reviewers, the ones who have yet to steer me wrong. It’s nonsense to not research and look up reviews on something before buying. I’ll take non-bias decent reviewers word before people over hyping in forums, just being honest mind.

Don’t think anyone here has spewed any ā€œworst everā€ comments about any of these tanks - but I think it’s reasonable to say ā€˜not for me’ without even trying it. I think I’ve said 3 times now I don’t like larger capacity tanks. that alone is a good reason for me not to bother with the likes of the Boreas.

Is it better than the Avocado 24?

for sure it’s not only how it vapes, but it’s how it comes apart and goes back together without leaking

Hey @BoDarc, do you have the TF-RTA and if so, what are your pros/cons?

No but it’s likely my next purchase

also notice in the review his models (TF-RTA) have the wide chimney like the Griffin. There is an older model without that …almost same designation TF-RDTA …$1.00 cheaper

His review shows the one I linked way up top

Actually the RDTA is the newer model. Juice and air flow are totally different between them, too. It’s the RDTA that he scored highest in the video.

Just had one of those light bulb ideas…some on line Vape guru should offer these RTA kit for a hell of a deal… All 18 tanks.
How much would y’all be willing to pay for The RTA Tank Showdown Bundle?

I’d give $200
Never gonna happen but maybe.
