I'm looking to buy a couple of RG400 from Fastech, but have decided to order a couple of RTAs as well . There are so many on there, even the "same" Atomiser has several different purchase prices (I assume different manufacturers) that I'm getting a bit befuddled ! So here are my requirements: 3ml+ Tank which is suitable for Tank Cracking Juices Is easy(ish) to rebuild (bad eyes and sausage fingers) Leaks as little as possible, or is easily fixed with new O rings or an equally easy fix I don't give a monkeys about looks, or Dual/quad/octo coils or cloud chasing. I would prefer input from folk who have tried the actual Atty and used it for a wile. I already have a few Clone Drippers and can Coil(Badly, but still) I am using NatureVape Coils at the minute in my All Day Tank, but have used iClear 30 and 30s before (if thats any help!) Looking forward to browsing suggestions (links would be FANTASTIC!!!)

I can recommend the kayfun lite 1:1 clone. Comes with metal or pyrex centre and also a nano kit if u fancy it a bit shorter, it is also super easy to build on. www.fasttech.com/products/3028/10006473/1700500It is class, u can use the metal section for the tank cracker juices. I have used some of the cheaper options but they have always been a little bit poorer quality. The 1:1 is basically giving you the full experience of the original for £16.

What about the Orchid V4, dual coil. Cracking tank, a little more fiddly to rebuild though... Awesome performance if thats what you're after. It was a little too airy for me.

I don't mind an "Airy" draw as I have an igoL (a fantastic first dripper by the way!!) and got an adapted Top Cap for it (cost more than the igoL!) and that had a WIDE Air Flow and was a brilliant upgrade to a nice dripper. Roscopecotrain which Orchid on fastech in particular would you recommend? I have looked at Orchids, but as with all Clones, some are better than others Cheers Tom. I am fancying a kayfun so it's great to have a link to a particular Model, the amount of different versions is IMMENSE and to be able to have a look at one someone has used is brill, thanks

I have a couple of Rose's and an Orchid in my arsenal, along with a few different RDAs, but the KFL and the 1700500 from FT, in particular, is my absolute go to RBA. So much so, that I add a new one to every FT order I place

Another vote for that version of the Kayfun Lite Plus V2 - it was my first rebuildable and I've still not had a single problem with it. To my surprise, I've also had no major issues with this version of the Erlkonigin which gives an amazingly powerful and flavoursome vape for £12.65. No matter which RBA you choose, there'll be something better out the week after you receive it... :-)

ceedee is the Erlkonigin ok with tank cracking juices? I'd suggest the Taifun with a steel tank, but as it's OOS atm thats of no help whatsoever.. What about a Kraken

u prefer that to your kayfun? may have to test it out I reckon the Erlkonigin, Squape Reloaded and Rose v2 are probably all technically superior to the KFL+ v2 but with so many people having problems with the quality of clones, I've been reluctant to recommend them to anyone new to rebuildable clones. I'm only on my second (enormous) tankful on the Erlkonigin and apart from a few stray drops out of the bottom after refilling (which I expected), it's definitely a hit for me. I'm a little concerned about the resilience of it's huge PMMA tube so I suspect I'll only be using it at home for a while. And at under £13, I'm not sure I'll be able to resist grabbing another, you know, as a 'spare'!

What about a Kraken No idea, dagl but I've not yet heard of any problems. I'll only be using it with relatively 'safe' juices until I know that FT are stocking compatible replacement tubes.

KF is just the tank for me i suppose I'll pop a erlk in the basket for the next order, just to see xD

I have 2 x Russian/KFL clones, and they are stonking, with good room to work with sausage fingers, and a reliable vape once you have sussed the amount of wicking to put in, but this is just trial and error, as is so much with RBAs. However, for sheer performance, and a great taste and vapour, I would recommend the Taifun GT - it's a great tank, really well made, and with a good thick PMMA (I think) tank which holds nearly 5ml of juice. The Orchid v4 might need a bit more knowledge of coiling, and the Kayfun would give you this. The Orchid also works with two coils, and again some experience with the KFL/Russian first would be useful. Go ahead and order what you fancy, we will help you with coiling, problem-solving and trouble-shooting, we've all been there before!
