I am writing this post for us to share our views as to what we think new RTA's and RDA's should have, and / or, not have — to improve our vaping pleasure.
Perhaps a few of the creators of these, mostly ingenious, tanks will by some stroke of good fortune, stumble upon this and similar posts. A "butterfly effect" may ensue and benefit us all in the long run. It's also cool to learn what features others like or dislike.
Here is my take:
When it comes to cloud production, vape density, flavor, airflow, juice flow control, aesthetics and small **** syndrome, it is all subjective in the world of vaping. However, there are certain aspects of RTA's that may be improved on if viewed objectively.
Less glass, more metal
I don't know about you, but I try to buy for keeps. I love quality, clever and practical manufacturing. I almost have a renal shut-down whenever I break the glass section of tanks.
So, you spend a (close to) grand on a tank, you love it, but clumsily break both glasses before the o-rings even wear out. It happens! A year later — the tank was never a winner, it is out of commercial circulation and you are stuck with a useless, glassless tank.
I want glass-less tanks that are made out of mainly steel, e.g. The Medusa 25mm by Geekvape. (Was on my wish list but it has grub screws) I want my tanks to give me a few years after a few drops on the tiles.
Alternatively, make steel tanks with very little but thick glass windows. For example the OMNI RTA by Shado Vapor / Grimm Green. (Was on my wish list but it has grub screws) It is highly unlikely that this small compact glass will break.
No more weeny little grub screws
I have moaned about this in a few threads here, I know, but seriously guys: These tiny, unpractical, finicky grub screws strip so easily. It's high time that manufacturers did away with grub screws completely or they heat treat them with super strong titanium or something. It is so hard to get spares. Give us proper, reasonably strong, biggish Phillips or flat head screws. The bottom Phillips screws on my Tornado Hero are also ridiculously small, and can also strip.
More screws
We need more screws in the spares baggie. One set is not enough. Not only do they wear over time but they fall down the drain when washing sometimes, they drop and bounce away into infinity on the floor, or get mis placed. Companies should take a leaf out of the Authentic Desire Mad Dog RDA, who included 8 spare in 4 different styled spare screws, i.e. variations of flat head and Phillips head.
Instruction leaflets
Tanks should be and are probably tested before manufacture. Some folk get leaks, battle with builds, use the wrong wire, use too much or too little cotton, and end up hating the tank. An instruction manual will every helpful especially with tanks that bear eloquent features. We shouldn't have to "You Tube" the correct way to coil and wick our new tanks. A good example is The Proto RTA by Sub-Ohm Innovations. This tank initially leaks – period! However if you wick it right, it won't. But at least they printed a user manual and actually warned us that if you wick it wrong, it will leak. Then they explain the correct way to wick, resulting in no leaks. It took me many hours of frustration and You Tubing to learn how to properly coil and wick my at first, very leaky; Aramomamizer Supreme.
Leaking
This has to be the biggest mood killer. Why do some tanks leak in my brief case, and others don't? We live in a portable world, we travel, we need non-leaking tanks, for goodness sakes! Please RTA creators, work on this aspect. I don't have the answers, I am only a consumer, but we need some more ingenuity here.
Juice filling holes
These need to be as big as possible. Some are so small that a syringe is required to avoid spillage.
510 pins
Why not just make all 510 pins protrude sufficiently so as to safely accommodate hybrid Mech mod enthusiasts? This will prevent nasty vaping accidents that give vaping a bad reputation.
Vaping evolution
I must admit, there are amazing and already big, rapid improvements — ones that I have observed in only just over a year, but how about you? What gets your goat? What improvements would you like to see? What must go, and what must stay?
