Thanks! Talking to a third person as if you weren't there... But I'm still not sure if the Titan or the Plus. The Plus is an oversized Blitzen. I'm not new to RDTAs, I had the original Aromamizer back 3(?) years ago... It's a wonderful, easy build for me. I'm just intimidated by the size. I don't mind the overhang, but I'll get it a new mod if I opt for the Titan...

I do have to agree it is a big big atty and using it in normal postless mode it is vary airy but when you use it in series mode the center insulated post creates a divider and also helps to fill out the large chamber size and makes it a more comfortable draw ,also the air flow can be shut right down to zero . it is by no means an MTL tank when closed right down but can create a very tight draw if you want .

Over all its very versatile and with the right build has more flavor than many smaller attys in its class and better .

I could be a little bias as i make my own juice but for full rounded dense flavorful vape its my daily vape.

All my other attys have pretty much got an idle spot on the shelf for now as i use both my titans day to day and when you fill them up then open the juice flow to fill the inner base then top them off they will easily take a 30ml bottle so you can either chain vape for ages of if just normal you can vape for days without needing to refill .

its a round the house vape for me as its way to big to lug around everywhere

who what where .....shiney shiney..... lmao

I do find the Titan can be a little airy, I have the velocity deck in mine at the moment to cut down on the airflow.

I bring the Titan into the shop where I work as a conversation piece, everyone wants to know what it is and where to get one. It has a nice gelding effect on all the Smok fanbois too. :thumb: I use 3 Plus' regularly and it is my go to tank, easy to build with excellent flavor.

Here is something more to consider about series builds. The 1.6Ω coil that @gadgetkeith posted a few messages ago will only draw 10A on a 4S battery. Tons of vapor and flavor with a lot less stress on your batteries.

All I know is I'm glad I started with cheap RTAs and clones. It wasn't even a learning my preference thing, it just cost me so much less to fail, and fail and fail, until I began realizing I could HAVE a preference because I was actually inhaling vapor long enough before it all leaked all over my mod. LOL.

Preference is well everyone likes different things and whatnot. "Easy-ish " is definitely on my list when evaluating but some people like fiendish and complicated an I say, "Go, go you wild and crazy folks!" and etc.

I mean some people also like Rubix cubes. The only time I liked mine was when I discovered that, well, the stickers came off real easy and I could show my older brother I did it. I think money may have been involved, and I think my chicanery was exposed, but yeah for that brief moment in time, "I did it!" LOL.

Speaking of "easy-ish", RDAs are easier to rewick, easier to not break the glass of excepting only if you insist on putting a really posh glass cap on, easier for me to talk about on the internet because they're the only type of atomizer that I own, etc.. :p

I find that we need to be more careful when choosing something. When you know what works for you you can be a little wiser when buying. Me, I like the real thing, and the slow boat from China is too slow, unless I don't need it. So I'm planning my buys more carefully. One thing about reviewers is that they don't know what you like, ultimately YOU have to make the choice.

So the question was what is the best RTA for flavor. OP is looking for a rta is my guess. Fact is today there are quite a few that provide a quality vape. You just need to narrow down what you are wanting as far as coil type, af, juice capacity, etc.
@Ricknice1980
For you, my Engine nano friend, I'd suggest you look into the Kaees Salomon v2. The air intake is a lot like the Themis or the Zeus. I like side airflow directly on the side, not below the coil.

My Fav, Kylin Mini! Best Flavour RTA for me :) I find a lot of atty's are Hit & Miss :(
You build them the same & they perform differently.
The Kylin Mini has a stone consistency for Me :) Running 6 of them & they all produce excellent Flavour!

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.
Not necessarily I get better flavor on some rta's than I do rdas for instance my geekvape Blitzen gives me better flavor than my digiflavor drop but it's all subjective

I'll be finding out how I'll like squonking Monday. I'm a little bit of this :w00t: and a little bit of this :shock:.
I got a few squonkers I got the hcigar Aurora, geekvape Gbox, and the pulse 80 watt regulated, but it's all about the RDA use on top, I have Mike Vapes is recurve which is my absolute favorite so far I have the drop solo on order should be here in a week, I love my g box I guess I'm a little more in love with that one cuz it was my first but the pulse 80 watt is awesome also but I do like the G-Box better with Mike vapes recurve on top

Yeah I have the original kylin it gaves me a lot of spitback I can't get it to stop, I change out the builds do the wicking differently and it still does it, so I haven't used it much lately

just my 2 cents

its a personal thing everyone has their own preference i like a warm vape, not hot ,and dense thick vapor and full on flavor , so i just pick a setup ,do whatever build i fancy ,and mix a juice to suite .

mixing your own juice is the way to go . trying to get that extra tiny added bit of flavor from all the different attys out there is a trial and error experience .

just find a setup and atty that will tick all your own boxes ie different builds and juice volume and draw etc etc and work with it to get your own sweet spot . ie temp ,flavor and vapor density and draw style .

I have more attys than i can shake a stick at from the last few years and dont even want to think of the cost etc just do your own thing .

out and about i am pretty discreet but at home i like to fog the house out .

YES! it does spit back :( I find it only happens when I refill, probably cause of the lack of a JFC.
Chamber flooding, can be cleared up with a quick "Purge"
No atty is perfect! the flavour is a real Bonus with the Kylin Mini & a quick Purge after refilling, isn't a deal breaker for Me :)

I've read more comments about how the Solomon 2 is meh flavor wise than positve. Most say it doesn't hold a candle to the OG Solomon dual. I'll be skipping that one. Waiting on the Nano II. Intake is performing well, think it will probably be as good as the Nanos when I get it dialed in.

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...

I never even thought about the gulf ball/garden hose scenario. That would be crude.

There is a style of draw for MTL. The Rose V2 is a good example of on such. Many excellent MTL RTAs out there. Again, it is a style...to be learned.

I don't miss it one bit. My husband found an odd Vivi Nova Mini in my odd stuff bag, and he's using it. Gave me a couple of puffs and I must say, it's not half bad.

Reminds me of the Manta MTL... I've been using that with good results also. Air channels look huge to me. I'm looking into the double coil, I have too many single coils, all more or less with the same performance.

You should take a look at the Kaees Salomon dual. Couple of people at the shop has them and flavor is very good.

The two RTAs I have for best flavor are the Boreas V2 and Troll. I see some mention the Blitzen which I had interest in and should do well, but probably a tad less. From looking at RTA layouts and how the RTAs perform, it seems the characteristics that give best flavor are having airflow that runs straight through the coil to the chimney, having a shorter chimney, and having a dividing partition between the coils. The Troll and Boreas V2 have all of those characteristics and beat every other RTA that I have. That’s my current theory and I’m sticking to it. lol
