Question guys. I've done a lot of back and forth checking out various RTAs on youtube and I think I'm about to buy a Goblin Mini V3 in black. It's £14 at Totally Wicked. I like the option of swapping out decks but will probably mostly use the single coil deck. Is it a good tank? Most reviews seem good but I've come across two instances where people said the juice control doesn't close completely and a few that said it leaks.

Also, when I want to rewick or rebuild without emptying the tank or losing the juice, I guess I would just unscrew the deck and stand the tank upside down so the juice doesn't come out? The only tank I could find that seems to completely shut off juice when removing the deck is the Bachelor and Bachelor Nano by Ehpro. They seem like good RDAs, quite nice looking, but they're postless decks which look a bit naff and remind me of the evod style.

If you want single coil, the only answer is the OBS Engine Nano, you don't need juice control as it's top airflow and Stevie Wonder could wick it properly.
 
Looks like a custom 3d printed squonker.

Some of those fetch easily £££ for people who are in the know.

Off I go to order one:p

Anyone rate the obs nano tank?? Just had an email from a U.K. vendor saying that they don't think the serpent mini 25mm will ever come back into stock. But mentioned the obs nano tank.

Great tank, leak proof, holds more than 5ml of juice, easy to build and wick.

Flavour wise though??

Just want something close to my serpent mini which is awesome flavour wise.

If I do go for one, I'll get a gold one:p

Not used a serpent mini but its better than the other tanks I'm using (Triton 2, Avocado, Baby beast, KF5 and the stupid leaky POS Griffin mini 25)
 
Cool thanks mate, ill get one anyways and see what it's like.

Seems to be highly rated looking at reviews for it.

@Merlin5 Don't bother with the Goblin Mini v3, I used one for all of 30 mins before I chucked it in the bin.

As everyone else is mentioning, get the Serpent Mini 25mm. Depending on what mod you're putting it on, it shouldn't look too bad.

If you're worried about the overhang, get the 22mm version.

E: Juice control is pointless.

Alright then, I've emptied the basket with the Goblin Mini.

So here are all the tanks I've shortlisted. I like the option of having dual coil. What are people's thoughts on these? The Griffin appears to be leaky according to the above post. The Merlin Mini is meant to be good isn't it?

Serpent mini 25.

Griffin 25 single and dual coil. 25mm

Griffin 25 mini, single and dual coil 25mm

Merlin mini, single and dual coil decks, 24mm

iJoy EXO, single and dual coil decks, 2ml and 5ml glass, 25mm going to 26mm

Also, I've decided I might as well get myself a new mod. My one and only mod is a Sigelei 50 v2, which is 23mm wide. Ok for narrower tanks.

I don't have anything with temp control so that might be fun. And I want it to be wide enough for the 25mm+ tanks. What is recommended? I've got my eye on the Smok Alien Mini AL85 in red and black, it looks pretty nice and small, 27 mm wide with lots of nice functions. Any good?

It's a nice mod, was looking at getting it myself but ended up getting the g priv mod instead.

You can probably get it cheaper from FT, if you can wait a week or so.

As for tanks, serpent mini is a great tank of you can get hold of one. Not many of them around as I think wotofo are no longer making them. But that goes to show just how good the tank is.

Not really familiar with the griffin tanks myself and the ijoy one is a good tank. I have the combo rdta which I can run a single or dual coil or even use it as a dripper tank.

The obs engine nano tank seems to be another good tank, seems to be a highly rated tank. Planning to order one but I'm also looking at the digiflavor pharaoh rta tank as well. But I'm going to hang fire till I see some reviews on the pharaoh rta. Rip trippers has done one but seeing as he has collaborated with digiflavor, it's a pretty biased review.
 
I'm not sure I like the look of the OBS Nano. Looks to be a very good tank but the shape of the drip tip is a bit of a marmite one, and the metal cage reminds me of my sub tank mini which I hate.

Yas, I've bought a few things from FT before. I'll have a look at their site for the Smok AL85. Thing is, I know it can take longer than a week. I guess that how patient I'll be depends how much cheaper they have it than £39.99.

I found a Serpent 25 and in black which is what I wanted. https://noblevaping.co.uk/serpent-mini-25mm-rta-by-wotofo

I will probably end up getting the Serpent.

They don't seem to have it in silver which I know you wanted. ukecigstore have a Serpent 22mm in gold if you're interested, I think it looks nice.

I watched Rip Trippers video on the Pharaoh, and that is a beautiful looking tank.
 
I will take 5 to 7 days if you choose UK E-Packet delivery.
I tend to add things to my basket as I see them and keep going back to it until I have about $100 worth in there. Then I order it all at once.
 
As long as you use the epacket method for shipping then it shouldn't take more than a week.

Yep the silver 25mm can't find at the moment so that's why I'm looking at the obs nano engine. I have the black version of the serpent mini 25mm. Btw you can change the tip on the obs, change it to something that you like etc.

Should be getting my wotofo troll rta this week, got shipped on sat after 2 weeks of waiting for FT to get stock of it. From the tracking it's arrived in the uk yesterday.
 
To get accurate tracking once it's in the UK click "where has my item been" on royal mail tracking and it will show you where it currently is. Once it's processed in the UK it's classed as special delivery, so almost always next day from that point, including Saturday delivery where applicable :)

Mad Dog RDA is a very very good RDA, airflow and direction is superb, easy deck to build on, deep juice well and it was damn cheap for an authentic!
 
Hmmm still in 2 minds on whether to order the obs nano engine or the pharaoh rta tank.

The nano has lots of great reviews but the pharaoh not so much other than the very biased rip trippers douchebag. It is a nice looking tank, the obs is a bit of a marmite tank.
 
Get an ijoy exo RTA? Dual and single coil decks, comes with extension parts to take it up to 6ml, if it's anything like the ijoy RTA's i use it should be another cracker.

Ive already got the ijoy combo rdta and its a nice tank but not one of my favourites tbh. wait a Its a bit fiddly to get right, the gold part that screws onto the glass part of the tank doesn't screw on properly unless you are very careful. Ive been in a rush a few times and screwed it on quickly, only to find that if you tip the tank a bit it leaks all over the place.

Think ill just wait a few weeks and see if any other reviews turn up for the pharaoh rta tank and see what others say about it before pulling the trigger on it. Its not like they are in stock at FT for at least a week or so.
 
Thanks guys for the heads up about the E-Packet delivery. It's only an extra $1.21. There's only two Smok AL85s ready to ship but not in the colours I want. All the others are pre order with ETA 10 to 26 days. The price with shipping is £30. But I can get one here for just £8 more and free shipping. That said, folk on ukvapers are saying Smok mods are crap and best avoided with shoddy chips, shoddy fit and finish, and ohms jumping about. So now I'll be looking for something else. I'd quite like something with the same dimensions, ie, small in the hand but wide enough so there's no overhang on the larger tanks.
 
This may be of help to you
