OK, so it's a difficult one because different people find different things tricky. Some find wicking the Blitzen tricky and others find using the clamps tricky with the Bravo. Although I do like the Bravo I'm not a huge fan of clamps or posts where the coils have to share lead holes. At times it can be a PITA to get them firing evenly. The Goon is a perfect example. Love the RDA, hate the clamps. But once you know how to do it it's just practice and patience. Same as wicking. I don't think either the Bravo or the Blitzen are particularly hard to build and I like them both. Personally, I think the Blitzen in shorty mode looks damn sexy. I think either of the two would be a good choice so it really depends on what takes your fancy.@Mitz Your a star, great comments, especially for a noob to RTA's like me.
If you had the choice of the 2 you mentioned, which would you buy, I am leaning towards the Wotofo Bravo, seems to get stellar reviews and good for beginners.
Some have mentioned the Blitzen can be a bit of a pain to wick, but unsure how true that is, have not done extensive research, have read about 5 reviews on each.
Once I am set up and comfortable with building, what RTA would you recommend (Out of everything) I can buy another tank once I am all set up - Again no drippers, I need to fill tanks.
I think if I get lazy or go on holiday I may buy a 10 pack from a seller who makes top quality coils.
Is it true that coils can last over 6 months if cleaned properly? If so why not just buy some top quality pre-builds and just vape on one coil for months? Obviously just need to change the cotton
Thanks Mitz
I posted a tongue in cheek wicking tutorial for the Blitzen a little while ago. It can be found here......

Yes, it's true that you can use quality coils for long periods of time. But there are factors that determine how long. The biggest factor is how often you rewick and dry burn your coils and how hard you dry burn them. Oxidation and metal fatigue are the concerns. I saw a study some time ago that showed a used coil under microscope. Although it looked perfectly fine to the naked eye it was in fact severely degraded when seen under magnification. The sweeter your juice the more often you will rewick and dry burn your coils. The more you do that the quicker the coils will degrade. If you use a juice that isn't a coil killer and you are using high quality coils and you look after them and keep dry burning to a minimum and keep it gentle then yes it's certainly possible to get months out of them. Personally, I wouldnt go as far as 6 but people certainly do. For me, I think a couple of months is great value for a pair of quality hand made coils.
As for what rta should you buy once you can build consitantly well... The Advken Manta rta. It's the best budget rta on the market IMHO.
