Vapefly Galaxies MTL RTA has a lot of the same great features which make the best RTAs like Siren 2 and Fury Mini. This is a well-built but affordable RTA. Made for MTL low watt vaping, this RTA comes with a generous 3ml capacity and an even better 5ml capacity bubble glass. The tank offers tons of flexibility and options for a highly customizable draw. The throat hit on the Galaxies is satisfying and the vapor production is rather impressive too. More importantly, the flavor is great.
With great flavor and versatility, this RTA is definitely worth the money for it. I would recommend this RTA to anyone looking for high-quality but affordable RTAs. There is no doubt that this RTA should be included in my best cheap RTAs list!

I started vaping in late 2011 to quit chewing tobacco. over the past few years i got a lot more into the hobby side and buying and collecting a lot of gear. Fed up with the lack of good fair reviews i decided to start doing reviews late 2016 and haven’t looked back. I enjoy providing people with technical reviews that are fair and unbiased and from a place of knowledge to help them spend their money wisely.
