Thunderhead Creations Blaze Solo RTA

The Blaze Solo RTA (Rebuildable Tank Atomizer) by Thunderhead Creations is an update of the original, dual coil Blaze RTA.  The Blaze Solo is perhaps the best vape tank for the production of flavour. The design encompasses some very clever thinking and complex machining, all for the singular purpose of maximum flavour output. This RTA is designed for advanced vapers as it’s a rebuildable tank, and is to be used on higher-power vape mods.

This incredible tank is the result of a collaboration between Thunderheads and Mike Vapes – you can check out his >youtube channel here.

Blaze Solo RTA Design & Features

The Blaze Solo RTA is the single coil version of the original Blaze RTA featuring a large, post-less build deck and a honeycomb structure surround which keeps airflow direct and as smooth as possible. Being a top airflow tank, it’s the very definition of leak-proof and provides a cool vape with heaps of flavour. The slotted airflow ring surrounding the airflow channels also provide a smooth draw for consistent vaping.

Being a single coils tank, the deck is extra spacious and allows easy rebuilding even when using large and complex coils like our Alien coils by Vapour Wild. The post-less design makes installing a coil easier than ever, with the terminals sitting directly underneath the deck, positioned vertically. The legs of the coil simply drop into these channels and are fastened via grub screws positioned on the outside perimeter of the deck.

Generous “juice wells” positioned either side of the deck afford good space with which to pack the cotton wick into which assists in absorption of E-Liquid.

What’s the Advantage of Using Rebuildable Tank Atomisers?

The Blaze Solo RTA is an advanced tank which requires the user to understand how to build and/or install their own coils. Knowledge of Ohms Law, proper wicking practices and general electrical safety is required before using this device. However once you’re familiar with rebuilding or just installing premade coils, the benefits of doing so will become apparent in short time.

The practice of rebuilding coils in a tank like the Blaze Solo RTA is vastly cheaper than buying premade plug & play style coils long-term. This is because the resistance wire used to wrap coils is cheap and you can buy a a whole years worth for roughly £10. It’s also a rewarding experience as it allows you to truly dial in your vaping style down to the wrap, resistance, temperature and wicking style.

Tanks like this one are made from high-grade stainless steel and can be made to last many years, with the only weak-point being the glass tank itself. You can protect this is with a rubber tank shield which can prevent cracks from dropping it accidentally.

The disadvantage of getting in to rebuildable’s is the complexity of their use and the fact they’re not convenient. Plug and play style tanks offer a much easier and quicker coil change, as the coil needs to be pulled out and a new one is pushed in. Replacing coils in the Blaze Solo RTA requires the tank to be taken apart, coil removed and deck cleaned before a new coil can be installed. It’s a trade-off as both types of tanks have their advantages and disadvantages.
