I see, I never tried the Crius 2 so can't comment, but the OG crius is definitely up there with my favourite RTA's. I checked out the Crius 2 single coil and it looks like a nice RTA, quite an interesting build deck with the triangle shaped screw as well.

It is annoying when companies try to improve on something that is already great isn't it. How do the newer versions of the Aromamizers compare to the original RDTA's? As I will probably build either the 3ML or 6ML version later, I remember that being a great tank too.
Only thing was the airflow ring was just a rubber vape band, they could have made that a bit more polished.
I actually have a new airflow band I can use from stealthvape that came free with my order of wire the other day to jazz things up a bit lol.

I've still got one tucked away somewhere, and the triangle shaped screwdriver is in my vaping toolbox.

Yeah, they love to do it. Come out with something exceptionally good, then start trying to tweak it and the end result is crap in comparison. More interested in pushing the next product than actually putting something better out. Problem is there's only so far you can go with an rta. Endless updates and tweaks to improve something don't really exist after a certain point. There's only so much progress to be made. I stopped buying new kit because in the end it never turned out to be any better than what I was already using and was often worse.

Aromamizers were good. I had a few at one point. Remember the one with the rubber band for airflow. Haven't used one in a couple of years now tho as found mtl more convenient. Last rta I used of theirs was the mtl one they did.

Yeesssss! Thanks, you just reminded me about Advken! The Manta! That was an awesome rta and on par with the OG Zeus, IMHO.

Remember the Kensei. Good rta.

Same re MTL with the exception of the Aer and Reaper and wee Fingernails' Kelpie for RDTL. Most hate the Kelpie for it was a bed wetter extrodinaire (some say much like its designer ) but when wicked perfectly (once in every 5 wickings), was the best flavour RDTL tank I ever used.

My all time favourite used to be the Wotofo Serpent Mini, so easy to build and always a consistently good vape. Used to love the Serpent SMM variant as well.

I used the SMM for ages until the glass broke and I couldn't find another. Tried the next serpent (elevate) but it just wasn't the same.
