Hi All,

Hope everyone is doing well on this wonderful Friday.

So I am in the process of getting myself mod number two, after much research and discussions with forum members I have made up my mind on which Mod to get, i.e. Smok H-priv (it will not be the pink one, @Stosta & @Greyz :-D)

However, I am having some trouble deciding on which tank to get with it. Keeping in mind that I have a pico (which is vaping like a beast) and I would like to start getting involved in building coils and so on, hence mod number two.

I would like something short and chubby like a mage (can't find it anywhere but just as an example) and have done extensive research on the below tanks:

Smok TF-RDTA
Ijoy Limitless plus RDTA

I would love to hear any further suggestions and recommendations, keeping in mind I have never built anything coil related in my life and will need some practice.

This is me getting as much information as possible before committing to a purchase so any advise at all concerning ease of builds, types of tanks, pros/cons etc will be highly appreciated.

Thank you all lovely people
 
It isn't what you've been looking at, but the Griffin is super easy to build on - lots of space to work with.

And great flavor too ;)
 
Interesting question! I started on the Subtank RBA which is very forgiving, and it is still my favourite tank to this day. BUt in all honesty if you're getting a dual 18650 mod you'll probably be looking for something a bit harder ;) I still think the Tornano is a little beast, but can't recall if it was easy to build on because I have some experience, or if it is easy to build on period.

I do LOVE the look of this and seems to be a pretty solid tank. There is a place that stocks these in CPT think I will go and have a look later.

The smok TF-RDTA seems so big and bulky though, and I really want to keep the device as compact as possible and not sacrifice too much. so I think the the nano might be just what I'm looking for.

If you got the opportunity to check it out before you buy it that is first prize. The RBA on this tank is great, and the stock coils have to be the best I have have come across in terms of vapour production, they are insane. Great build quality, and IMO relatively newb friendly.

My biggest concern is that it is dual coil, and if I think of myself building my first coil, a single coil deck was intimidating enough, but that was without the help of anyone, so it might make things a lot easier if they can help you build your first setup in the store!

That's exactly what I am planning to do, I have previously inquired about that with them and they are more than willing to help. They also sell "already rolled" coils for the builds, which I will most probably buy some of as a safety net.

But I have been told that the stock coils are hard to come by for the tornado, which coils do they take @Stosta

They are specially designed for that tank only. The thing is your first coil will take you an hour to do, the second 30 minutes, and from then on its a 10 process to churn one out. Once you get the hang of it, it's dead easy.

I'd say go for this one

A great all-rounder and awesome for taking down a gov..... oh, sorry, wrong forum ... :p
 
Hey at @Imtiaaz i am at the very same point in time as you i am getting the h priv too thanks to @Greyz for the info but i want to put on a griffin 22mm rta on there rta cause im all set on the way it wicks and its dual clapton capabilities will later add top airflow maybe but thats where im at atbthe moment hope this thread can satisfy me tooo

If you're getting the H-priv, why not get the kit? It comes with a mini TF4 which AFAIK can take the RBA base.

When it comes to coils, honestly don't sweat it, http://steam-engine.org/ and one of those coil jigs either geekvape or coilmaster and you're set!
Wicking in my experience was the harder thing to get down to perfection and it's actually super easy on a bottom fed tank like some you've been looking at.

I don't think the LMC RDTA plus or AVO will look / sit well on the pico, but I would suggest any of those bottom fed RDTA's for someone new, the build decks are huge so they are much less fiddly to install in and the wicking really is super easy. With most of them they come with that plug for dual/mono coil set ups too.
 
@Feliks Karp I hear what you are saying but one vendor has it for 970 just the mod and the kit for 1350 another vendor so if you calculate id much rather have the rta from the get go but its a great idea for @Imtiaaz and wicking can be a cruel biatchhhh to get right hehe

Thanks @mcgeerj35 and @Feliks Karp (congrats on the medal BTW), appreciate the advice. I also feel that given the price, it would be better to get a kick ass RTA off the bat. Also I don't mind the struggle at first but at least when I have that down I can get onto some more serious stuff. The thought of possibility intrigues and excites me, and what is vaping without a little excitement, right?

Thats the exact way i feel where are you based @Imtiaaz?

I'm in Cape Town @mcgeerj35, and we don't have half the vape infrastructure like there is in Joburg, so I always tend to struggle to get stuff that seems readily available over there.

Even the mod I will have to bring in from Gauteng. So I'm always two minded about getting certain stuff over here as the availability of certain items are always a question mark here.
 
Ah yeah thats true man but check out vape club on the mod cheapest ive seen @R970 and a griffin rta 22mm at R540 or R550 depending on the colour

That's actually exactly where I am ordering from @mcgeerj35 . By far the cheapest I've seen, and delivery is only 65 bucks..That's why I want to buy the tank from there as well as its cheaper than anywhere else and I wont have to pay delivery again, so makes sense.

That's also why I limited my tank choices to some smok's and whatever else is on the site. I did call my local vape shop and they getting the nano in today, but I'm sure it will be quite expensive here.
 
I agree with Feliks, a Genesis-style RTA with a big deck and single-coil baffle is a great way to start rebuilding. I have an Avo already, Limitless Plus will be my next tank. The larger capacity, side fill and (what looks like) even easier wicking are winners for me. It won't fit on the Pico but will be a beast on the H-Priv.
 
@RichJB isnt a griffin a genesis style or is that the velocity style?? And @Imtiaaz thats great mate and yes makes sense yes

Hey @RichJB, I was considering the limitless Plus, but seems abit to advanced right now, so also agree with @Feliks Karp concerning the bottom builds.

I'm not planning to do anything to the pico, I apologies for the confusion, I just meant that I have a pico as my backup device in case the builds just don't come together for me. I'm using the standard melo3 tank with some cCell 0.9 coils in and that is just fine, love the flavor, Hence device number 2,where I can do some cloud chasing:flamethrower2:
 
I am going to MILK this thread for advice, please bear with me.

I see there are two griffin's on the site. The griffin 25 and griffin RTA, anyone want to elaborate on these two?difference?which is better?newer?

and between those two and the Smok TF-RDTA and Tornado nano, which would you consider the better tank?

1 2 3 GO....

The griffin 25 is the top airflow one FYI
 
Lol 123 and i went hahaah but as far as i know the difference between tht griff rta and the 25 is the diameter of the rta is 22mm and the 25 is 25mm and the rta deck is slightly larger witch gives it more build space for crazy shit to go down but unfortunately thats all my knowledge includes now i wait for an elaborate detailed more in formative response as i want to know tooo hahah
