Updated @JiM210, thanks for the new squonk pin linkage…
Awesome review!
What a great device
Thank you very much @CosmicTruth. It was out of this world !!!
Sorry, couldn’t help myself.
Steam Crave tanks RDTA’s have been my Go to tanks for the past 3 years. I’m not a fancy coil builder either. One coil builds. This tank is the yum, yum, of all RDTA tanks. Super easy to build on, even with one coil. Flavor for days too. Zero leakage issues, unless the tank/mod gets tipped on its side, where any tank would leak. Fabulous tanks, I tend to prefer the 5 ml - 7 ml tank ones.
Welcome to ELR @JustIvanna, more than glad to see you posting your first post, on this thread. You and I are in the same camp as far as the yum yum nature of SteamCraves.
Awesome review man!
I bought everything here and I must say… HOLY SHIT! This is one helluva setup. Flavor with the mesh deck is amazing. Clouds fill the room. And the build quality is on par with Steam Crave’s previous spectacular offerings. I machined for 25+ years, and the machine work of this tank is of superb aerospace quality. The fit and finish just cannot be beat in the vape industry.
My only cons would be the mod feels very light, which typically means a cheaply made device. But this isn’t really a con because the device is tight, well made, and once you put it all together with batteries and the tank this completely goes away. The only other nitpick I have is I would rather the fire button was on the side. It just feels weird in my hands with the button on the front of the mod. But I am getting used to it.
As for the Aromamizer… I don’t have a single complaint. I always try to find something that could be improved, but there just isn’t anything bad to say. Even better than the original Aromamizer, which I always wished had more airflow. This thing does that, and manages to retain the insane flavor production. And if you get the mesh deck by grabbing the advanced kit, it is so easy to build it feels like cheating.
Overall, this is the best setup I have ever used. This may not be a vape for everyone because of its size. But if you want a badass vape, this will defintely do the trick.
Exactly! I just cranked this thing up to 150w and gave it a quick vape to make sure I didn’t blow my head off. To my surprise, the vape was silky smooth. So I hit it like a caveman and OMG it was pure bliss. The flavor went all the way to ludicrous, and I was just blown away. How the hell did Steam Crave do this? And I haven’t even tried RDA mode yet!
And THAT is what makes a SteamCrave a SteamCrave.
Well shit, I just discovered another con…
I just bought this brand new 4k TV, and the clouds this thing is making has my TV looking like a 1080p TV. I guess I will have to sell my TV
Thank you for review :). Bought mine after reading yours and Pugsley’s review.
Really love V2, changed my opinion about RTAs/RDTAs. When using dual coils I prefer wide airflow style RDAs (Goon, Apocalypse) and never found a RTA or RDTA airy and flavourful until this gem. Flavour and clouds and airflow 1:1 fits my style. 0.12 dual Ni80 Alien Claptons, no reducers, biggest airflow and 75 to 100 watts made me happy :).
Only negative point for me; tried mesh deck and chimney reducers but didn’t like much, maybe I should get some Ni80 meshes.
I’ll chase other SteamCrave products from this day on, maybe next one is a Ragnar :).
You’re very welcome @mayk. Welcome to Team Steam !!!
I spent a while on the meshes, and it did vape pretty good. I always seem to go back to regular coils though.
Hey @SessionDrummer , should I buy an Aromamizer Plus first version too? Sealed box and really cheap. I didn’t put V2 from my hands yet and never touched my RDAs :).
If you like the flavor from SteamCraves, then I would say DO IT !!!
-
My first time to run the Aromamizer Plus V1 as a RDA.
-
First time to Squonk the Aromamizer Plus V1.

My first time to use the Steam Crave mesh deck.
It took some time to break in. I used the Ste Crave shoelace mesh cotton. I used the SS316L 0.15 Ohms mesh strips.
The vape is thick and flavorful. The draw is very smooth and the mesh heats instantly on powerful+ pre-heat. So far not a single dry hit. There is a gradual drop in flavor when it’s time to add more juice with a push of the Squonk pump.
I started on low 45 Joules on soft pre-heat and slowly ramped up to settle on 66.6 Joules with the Powerful+ pre-heat.
While the single mesh is pretty small compared to the large dual coils I usually run it’s still a very satisfying vape after a break-in period. If you are trying the mesh for the first time be patient and ride out the break-in period. Before and after the break-in is as different as night and day.
