HA!! Coff Coff. Well one of us has been banging the drum regarding MTL for what seems like....... EVER.
I completely understand that this isn't what many are interested in and that's fine too. After all, whatever keeps us off the stinkies has to be a great thing!
Gabs, you know my thoughts on all of this stuff, I am an ardent MTL Fan and have been exceptionally fortunate to have owned all of the RTAs you mention, plus a few more besides. My adoration of The Calix continues unabated, The V2 Base has transformed it from many people's perspective, mine included, but I happily admit that I still run a couple with the V1 Base as I love the look of it and know how to get around some of the "issues" which people reported.
The Tilemahos V2 is another cracker of an RTA. Very flavourful indeed, BUT, should you consider such a purchase, I'd recommend looking for a really nice used authentic. The Clones I have had have been good, but the real thing is so much better in terms of construction and usability. Easy to say when it isn't my money I know,but trust me on this one.
The Pico: What can I say? Flavour by the bucketful, stealthy as it can get and this time, save your money and get a quality Clone. They "can" be that good I assure you!
Now for the one that struck me as the biggest surprise. The Hurricane. You enjoy a TaifunGT2
, you "could" potentially fall foul of the same thing that caught me....... The Hurricane "appears" to be VERY similar in terms of the design of the deck? Well, once again I would have to say, "Trust Me on this", The Hurricane has the potential to blow the doors off the TaifunGT2 wicked with Cotton. Another flavour monster and such an easy build. CLONE all the way!! The Genuine ones QC is appalling and you get nothing in the way of spares. The decent Clones come with everything you'd expect and more.
Honourary mention MUST go to the Keyfun Mini V3 as well. If you like the V4, you will be stunned at the V3 I promise!
As
@Jugg1es has said, "Mesh". Now I know that he is probably meaning something like the NextGen and The Nextiny etc, both of which are superb, BUT, do try a Mesh build in your TaifunGT2
If you want flavour like never before..... that's how you find it! Strangely, Mesh in a Hurricane didn't work as well to my mind? But then I am an Old Fart, so it may well be that others may enjoy it.
In order of preference?
For ME (others views will vary greatly)
For Cotton
The Calix V1 and V2
The Kayfun Mini V3
The Pico
The Hurricane
The Tilemahos V2
For Mesh
The NextGen and Nextiny

Enjoy your researching, if I can help at all, either PM me, or look under the stone in that dark corner of the room.
