Geekvape Blitzen! I have a lot of Wonderful rta's I have too many to name but the geekvape Blitzen is the best rta I have ever used to date I got the OBS engine V2 thinking that was the number 1 RTA on the market (mainly becuz its Mike Vapes fav) or so he says , boy was I wrong this Blitzen is wonderful it's like certain juices work better in certain rta's dinner lady Blackberry crumble is a wonderful juice one of my favorite what in the obs it would lose some of that Blackberry flavor but in the Blitzen it would be so much more pronounced God I love this RTA recommend this thing to everyone and anyone that's a flavor chaser cannot say enough good things about it

It is very difficult question... to do real comparison your juice, coil, coil position, wicking, wattage and even more little factors would have to be considered... even order of taking puffs when sampling... it is impossible for me to decisively say my Doggy provides better flavor than my Siren and my Siren is better than Dwarv and my Dwarv is better than my Doggy... :D

Currently I am vaping the same juice( pomengranate/peach/kiwi) in 2 tanks Dwarv and Savour... and the winner is.................................................................................. SAVOUR !!! ( fresh wick 3.0mm ID, 26 gauge slightly spaced twisted kanthal, 0.5 ohm at 15w)

But tomorow I can put different juice, different coil, position coil 1 mm higher/lower put fresh wick set wattage a little higher/lower... and I will say Dwarv is better than Savour...:eek::)

For single coil is preferred and the Engine Nano and Intake are top performers. Been wanting to try the Savour but wonder if the draw is too tight.

For those "proper/true MTL" people that love to suck golf ball through the garden hose it will be... way,way too loose... unless they install post with 1.0 mm hole...

For the "cloud chasers" it will be way, way too restricted... for me Savour with 2.5 mm hole post is the best/ smoothest/most quiet/satisfying draw from all rta I own (Siren2, Dwarv, SMJY Dogystyle). For sure restricted and delicious :) DL is possible...

There simply aren't any RTAs that give the best flavor, which is why I don't use them. But if I were forced to pick an RTA it would be the Reload RTA, hands down, with Nichrome 80 aliens dual coil at .11 ohms, 27g/36g, 4.5 wraps, 2.5mm inner diameter, on a single battery tube mech and using Cotton Bacon Prime, as well as some high VG juice (mostly in the 70/30 - 80/20 range) because too much PG can start to taste chemical despite there exist a few excellent juices IMO that are only 60/40 (e.g. Medusa Pink Diamond) or 65/35 (e.g. Illusions The Prophet), and, because nicotine also affects the flavor, staying at 3mg is what I'll recommend if possible and you are a nicotine user.

Since I got into squonking, I'm not too keen on using RTAs anymore, because flavor on an RDA is that much better, compared to an RTA.

That said, the Reload RTA is my favorite flavor RTA so far. The Boreas V2 is a hot competitor though, but it has to be built spot on.
When it comes to RDTAs, the Ivogo Rock is an absoulte flavor beast. No other tank I've tried so far beats it for flavor.

I’m still new to this game (what, a couple months in?) but so far, the Fancier.

That said, it’s a fiddly one, and way too girly for many people.

If all my RTAs, Zeus dual gives the least flavor, but is the easiest to work with. Blitzen and Revovler are both very good, the latter maybe because of the air flow, you can really dial it in. Love it.

One thing I’ve noticed though, is that while they perform like that on most of my mods, all bets are off when they are paired with my paranormal. I’ve been playing with different tanks on that mod, and it’s amazing how much better flavor every one of them has.

Could you be a little more specific?:lol:

Maybe yes. Although flavor is always going to be largely subjective, I think we can agree that dripping on an RDA is overall less convenient than using an RTA according to most so the only logical explanation of why, despite that, so many people are still dripping on an RDA as well as are doing it in such a way that it is a very far distance away from being called cloud chasing, is flavor and how the vape feels. But the flavor capability of an RDA, in addition to being largely subjective, is part determined by how you use it so naturally it makes sense for me to include at least some partial description of how I often tend to use mine.

Yeah, I would like to know what wattage on that 0.11 ohm coil I should use for that ultimate flavor? Also would like to know what single battery I should use on that mechanical tube mode...it surprised me that mechanical mod affects flavor but I am not going to argue because I never used mechanical...

Anyway there simply aren't any RDAs that gives the best convenient flavor, that is why I do not use them but if I were to buy an RDA it would be Geek Vape Ammit MTL RDA...with regulated squonk mod.

It isn't a .11 ohm coil. Instead, it is a dual coil build at .11 ohms, and, personally I wouldn't waste my time trying to get the most from it on a regulated mod, as it is specifically built to be used on a single battery mech IMO anyway, BUT... even though I think it is what's best to me personally, I can't actually recommend it to anyone because it clashes with the general "rules", or guidelines, of battery safety on the mech according to Mooch so, as a direct result from that, what I think gives the overall best flavor, generally speaking, is considered pretty much taboo. :D

Best flavor ever from the Sat22 with Mesh/SS Rope followed closely by the Rose V2 using Rayon wick.

Good RDAs deliver on flavor much more than any RTA. To get such a saturated vape out of an RTA, you have to wick it accordingly, but that's nearly impossible, because then the tank will constantly throw a leaking, gurgling and spitback party. And how convenient is that?
So convenience is a completely different matter and doesn't change the flavor even the tinyest little bit.
But as you said, use an RDA on a squonk mod and convenience becomes a non-issue.

Easy, kayfun just pick one I like the newest version v5 squared beautiful thing.next would be the skyline these two are hands down the best the gt 3 is nice, keep in mind they are high end but even the clones are better then 99.9% of the authentic tanks out in this saturated market any company can come up with garbage start a buzz about it and "it's the next best thing".but hey everyone has there own tastes.funny thing is im not a tank guy but these two have great flavor.the kayfun actually has nice vapor production.

I agree with everything you said excepting only that last sentence. Squonking is not a full solution because dripping drops of juice straight onto the coil(s) helps to keep up the flavor performance. Other disadvantages include not being able to use your favorite mods so, because human perception of flavor is skewed by other stimuli that are linked to the brain (yes seriously), as a result the flavor, and feel, of the vape experience is fairly limited.
