Multi core clapton for sure. 5-8 strands 30g claptoned with 32g or 34g. Flavor heaven.

well i just upsized to quad 3mm 26g kanthal claptons 7 wraps .28 ohms and im extremely happy with it. huge improvement with flavour. right coil size also seems to make a difference. required a bit of tweaking to get it to stop shorting with the chimney on. but well worth it!
I also make the lower coil with much shorter wicks. and so therefore it draws from the upper coils wick. no dry hits at all even up to 200w with chain use.
im am truly impressed with this tank. my moonshot has lost its first place.
but i must say considering the heat at 200w. 300watt max is over-rated but hell who is that crazy anyway!

I pulled the trigger and ordered one. Let's see if it's a let down like all other tanks I've owned or not.
How long did it take you to master the alien coil build? I always stretch the decorded clapton too less or too much
what ID are you using for your dual setups?
Hello tornado users,
Saw on a review that the glass does not stay fixed once the deck is screwed out. True?
And the floating deck must be a pain to build on?
Liking everything else about it, but those two above seriously bother me.

I'm a coil builder. I'll make a plan to steady the deck. I don't let little things like that scare me 
that is true. so you cant open it unless its empty. which is kinda crap. i have wasted a lot of juice fiddling (thank god its DIY)
the build deck is floating (just like the moonshot) but i put the bottom coils on it in my hand then fire it and get them good. then i put the upper coils on and repeat. but since its a velocity style is really easy to build on. you could also just put an allen key through the airflow into the hole in the deck and screw it on a mod then it hold down pretty well. (unlike the moonshot as it wobbles around a bit)
but i currently have quad 3mm 9wrap 26g claptons so lots of space.
bottom line is if you like the moonshot you will like this and the moonshot was a pain to build but it was worth it in the end and the same applies here.
It doesn't scare me, lets just say they could have done it better?I'm a coil builder. I'll make a plan to steady the deck. I don't let little things like that scare me
@Jono90 thanks for the insight. The rta really looks like a winner otherwise.
Sorry man. Didn't mean to imply that it scares you. Meant to say it doesn't put me off. English not my first language and I sometimes have trouble expressing myself correctly.
No worries! Just in search of the *right* one out there! Everything of the tornado was great other than that. Maybe Ill give it a go even.Sorry man. Didn't mean to imply that it scares you.

Ok, so I got the Tornado and here's what I think. This is not a review. Just my thoughts.
Yes, it's a bit of a biatch to build on, but it's manageable. I have dual staggered fused clapton in it at the moment running at .32 ohms cold and vaping at 60W.
Filling it is easy.
The drip tip is way too short. Ordered a custom one from @hands
Flavor is surprisingly good for a tank. Not as good as in my Double Vision RDA, but it's the best for a tank so far for me.
Airflow is adequate and I even close it off about halfway as it is actually too much.
Wicking is easy and no dry hits since I built it the first time. Been running the same build from the start for a few days now and it wicks very easy.
One con for me: It sweats. It sweats a lot. It's not leaking. I have to call it "sweating". I don't like that. All the time I have to wipe the outside of the tank and the top of the mod as there is a very fine "condensation" of juice on the outside and on the top of the mod. It is ejuice. I tasted it.
I took it apart to check if there's anywhere where it can leak and I haven't found anything yet, that's why I call it sweating.
Apart from that, it's a good tank and I like it. It's the first tank I really liked so far and used more than two days without throwing it into the vape bin.
I'll comment again in about a week's time if it's still in use or binned.
Happy vaping!

Have been running the tornado since yesterday.
Have a dual staged Clapton with 24g for ramp up.
Coming in at 0.17 ohms.
This tank has been an absolute blast for me so far.
I have picked up on the "sweating" as well. Minor annoyance. But outside of that it has performed in every way I have been hoping.
Been wanting something that would pair well with the minikin and this tank does that job perfectly.
Do you think there's any particular reason as to why this and the Moonshot have spinning decks? Why don't they make the decks press fit like the other tanks. And why don't they make the glass stay in place like the griffin or Crius?Ok, so I got the Tornado and here's what I think. This is not a review. Just my thoughts.

I have been asking myself the same questions, but decided not to bother. This is an amazing tank so far and the spinning deck doesn't really bother me. You just need to stabilize it while building (putting an allen key through the air holes and positive pin). After building you just put the "barrel" on and it's stable.
Yeah I have the Moonshot and just couldn't figure out why they would make the tank the way it is. I wanted to get the tornado but just waiting until something like the tornado with a press fit deck and a glass that's stays attached so i can rebuild without throwing away the juice. I can live with building like this but it's just easier if these little things were resolved.
Ive heard that tornado has the free floating deck because of interchangeable decks and provides better conductivity for TC builds over screw on interchangeable decks.
I do not own one and not too sure if its true, but it was from a reputable reviewer. And no, not RIP.

Does the tornado pin protrude enough to use on a hybrid ?
