- Last but not least the best RTA for Mouth to Lung (MTL) vapers.
What is the Best RTA To Buy in 2024?
So, now you have narrowed down the type of RTA vape that fits your needs we can move swiftly on to the reason you are here.
From over 100 RTA’s reviewed we break down our favourites.
1. Hellvape Fat Rabbit RTA (Editors Choice)
Heelvape have a long history in producing some quality RBA’s and the Fat Rabbit RTA is one of their best yet.
It’s not for the faint hearted or small mod holders as this RTA is 28.4mm diameter. So be sure you have a device that can cater to the size.
In review we found it hard to find any cons which is a feat in itself. So what did we like?
The postless deck can accommodate single or dual coils and it makes for an easy build. The flavour and clouds were excellent. The dual airflow was very quiet and the build quality top notch.
Did we mention the flavour and clouds were immense?
Features
- Postless build deck
- Single/Dual Coil
- Intense flavour and impressive cloud
- Easy to build on
- All round quality
2. Wotofo Profile X RTA (Best Mesh RTA)
Wotofo have been at the forefront of RBA’s since 2012. In that time they have delivered numerous fan favourites including around 6 or 7 ‘Profile’ RBA’s.
The latest is this particular line-up is the Profile X RTA, which our reviewer found hard to pick a fault with.
First up, it’s a great looking RTA that is exceptionally well built.
It’s a single mesh RTA with the option to accommodate single/dual coil wire builds. The deck is easy to build on so those new to building may want to add this to your shortlist.
It also features top honeycombe style airflow that provided a nice smooth vape on testing.
The overall performance of the tank was rated at a max 10 by our reviewer (he’s actually quite picky).
Features
- 28mm
- Accommodates Mesh, single and dual coil wire setups
- Excellent quality
- Plenty of clouds at higher wattage
- Easy to build on
3. Hellvape Dead Rabbit M RTA RTA (Best For Cloud)
So many Fat and Dead Rabbits! In the vape world that’s only a good thing. The Dead Rabbit M may be down as an impressive cloud chucker but it’s 100% not a one trick pony.
This 25mm RTA offers a mesh and single coil build deck which is easy to build on. The top adjustable airflow allows for some serious clouds and up above this we have the top fill port.
Build quality is up there with the best and when it comes to flavour it’s well above average.
Features
- 25mm Diameter
- Easy to build mesh/single coil deck
- Adjustable airflow helps with the cloud
- Good flavour
4. Geekvape Zeus X RTA (Best RTA For Flavour & Ease of Build)
We are big fans of the Geek Vape Zeus range of tanks ant the latest Zeus X RTAis no different. The Zeus design is superb throughout the range, solid without any over the top branding.
The Zeus X measures in at 25mm in diameter and can accommodate dual and single coil builds. Everything is easier on the latest deck design from wicking to building.
But we are ultimately interested in performance right? Well it’s on the Best RTA list for a reason. The flavour is outstanding and if you like chucking clouds along with it then you won’t be disappointed here either.
Features
- 25mm Diameter
- Great design
- Easy to build on
- Superb flavour
- No leaking
- Single and Dual coil builds
5. Dovpo Blotto RTA (Best for Flavour)
Another collaboration, this time with Youtube Vape reviewer Vaping Bogan. Has to be said it’s a good one at that!
The Dovpo Blotto is all about the airflow and the when you see the build deck you will see what we mean. The deck can handle single or smaller dual coil builds, it performs with both.
The 25mm diameter makes it vape mod friendly even though the spare bubble glass will boost the width further up the tank upto 30mm. Either way, it still looks the business on most devices.
The RTA is simple to build on, is fairly forgiving when it comes to wicking and has an easy top fill.
It’s the flavour and cloud where the Blotto really impresses though.. Bucket loads..
Features
- 25mm Diameter – Fit on most vape mods
- Simple to build on
- Superb flavour and Cloud
- Excellent Airflow
- Single and Dual coil builds
6. Vapefly Brunhilde RTA (Best RTA For Hobbyist Vapers)
The design of the Vapefly Brunhilde is a bit retro going back to the days of wire ropes for wicking as the deck is located above the e-liquid chamber – similar to a RDTA.
To get the e-liquid from the chamber the stainless steel wire rope wicks bring the liquid up to deck level. From there you wick as usual with cotton to transfer the e-liquid to the coils. Plus you get everything you need in the kit to get you started including SS wicks, coils and cotton.
The deck is a dual coil design with velocity style posts and there are nice wide clamp holes for some chunkier coil builds. I think experienced builders and those who really enjoy tinkering will find this satisfying to master!
You can adjust the airflow to your preference using the top airflow ring and there is a side refilling port.
Features
- Easy to coil build deck
- Large e-liquid capacity – up to 8ml!
- Top airflow inlet helps reduce chance of leakage
- Deck near to the mouthpiece for more flavour and vapour
- Hybrid friendly 510 pin
- Generous kit contents including coils, wicks and Firebolt cotton
7. Hellvape Dead Rabbit RTA (Best For Ease of Use)
Of course most people into rebuildables will have heard of the Dead Rabbit range – a huge success for Hellvape and the vape reviewer Heathen.
The RTA version was eagerly awaited and seems to follow on in the tradition of the “rabbit ear” style deck.
The Rabbit Ear shaped posts give plenty of room for single or dual coil builds and it is much easier to trim the coil legs down after installation. Plus the side screw clamps make clamping flat coil legs easier without chewing up the metal.
Also on review the size of the post holes was impressive allowing for some more ambitious wires to be installed. In dual coil mode the flavour and smooth vapour was impressive!
Top airflow inlets mean there is less chance of leakage through the airflow and of course you can adjust the airflow to your preference.
Features
- Easy spacious versatile build deck
- 4ml bubble glass option available
- Single or dual coil builds
- Top airflow to reduce chance of leakage
- Large post holes with horizontal screw clamps for wider and flat coil builds
So there we have our favourite RTA’s. This top rated list will of course change over time when new and improved products hot the shelves. Or if any of the above atomizers are discontinued.
We have had many emails asking for the best RTA clones. With the quality the big brands are producing along with cheap prices we don’t quite see the attraction of cloned RTA’s. So none of them here.
8. OXVA Arbiter Solo RTA (Best MTL RTA)
Oxva seem to be able to so it all. Mods, pod systems and their excellent range of RTA’s. The Oxva Arbiter Solo RTA is the MTL version of the ever popular Arbiter RTA.
Capable of both MTL and DTL vaping it really does knock it out of the park in the flavour department on both styles of vape. Not a common sight to see a tank do both well.
Build quality is what we would expect from OXVA and for the newer builders out there this could also act as a good entry into rebuildables, being very easy to build on.
Add no leaking (on our testing) and we have ourselves a winner. Be sure to check it out.
Features
- Beautiful quality RTA
- Flavour is excellent in both MTL and DTL vape styles
- No leaks on our tests
- Easy to build deck (Not a rebuildable coil option like so many other dual use tanks)
9. OXVA Arbiter 2 RTA (Best All Rounder)
Well it’s safe to say that our reviewer Will being impressed with this RTA is an understatement.
The OXVA Arbiter 2 is an updated edition to an already very good RTA and this time around they have managed to make it even better. The flavour is wonderful and single coil mode has been smashed out of the park. Dual coil is no slouch either.
The airflow is spot on and delivered to the coils very well indeed. If clouds are your thing then it has you covered.
Overall a good looking RTA that delivers on flavour, clouds and in our testing zero airflow leaks. Excellent.
Features
- 26mm Diameter
- Simple to build on
- Superb flavour and Cloud
- Excellent Top to Bottom Airflow
- No leaks
- Single and Dual coil builds
