My favorite too. It's designed to produce flavor more than clouds. Its greatest strength, in my opinion, is that it is virtually leak proof making it a pocketable all-day driver capable of replacing expensive tank systems. It's a bit confusing at first but you can build a simple horizontal coil across the airflow or vertical dual coils if you prefer more volume. I've ordered from this seller on ebay who offers great pricing and service:
Veritas RDA Stainless Steel Rebuildable Atomizer by Ehpro 1 Top Quality | eBay
Hobo v2. 24g kanthal, 4/5 wrap, 2mm ID duals, wicked with rayon and mounted on a SMPL.
Flavor, the magma. Flavor with tons of airflow, the freakshow. Freakshow doesn't get a lot of press, but it's pretty awesome. Authentic out of China it's less than $30.
Got the EHPRO Veritas in the mail, so we'll see about that little doosey.

Same here; I've got a Caterpillar, an Igo-S, and now a Magma. The Caterpillar is wayyyyyyyyyy too airy, and no flavor; the Igo-S is tiny, more like a 510 dripper than an actual RDA; it's just for quick taste-testing. The Magma though... that's awesome. The airflow is still a little more airy than I've preferred, but I got used to it pretty quickly, yes for mouth-to-lung hits; but the flavor, just terrific -- as good as my Kayfuns, if not better.
A Kayfun is not an RDA, it's an RTA or RBA.
Right now in my Magma I've got a coil which measures either 1.3 or 1.4, depending on where I test it; 6 wraps 29ga, 3/32; I'm running it on my Sigelei at 10.5w. Amazing vape! Now if they could just fix it so it doesn't leak, that would be nirvana.
No, I'm definitely NOT a cloud chaser.

That one interests me, though I dislike dual coils;

EDIT: Nevermind, I found some pics on google -- I came across one with a single *vertical* coil -- have you tried that?
How would that be wicked? The bottom of the wick in the well, naturally, but what about the top? Just cut it off short, or let it dangle over really long, down into the well?

I was surprised how well the Freakshow work also, I just wish it had deeper juice well.
I'm an A7 fan. With air flow through the 510 connector & a screw on top section it's as pocket friendly as a RDA can get.
It's also only 11mm in diameter inside so the flavor is intense with a higher resistance coil (2 ohm) than what you would use in most other RDAs. That makes so that I can use them on any PV that I want with no amp or wattage worries. (2 ohm at 4v = 2a at 8 watts)
While not a cloud chaser, they do OK

On some buils just one tail at the bottom with just some fluff at the top works But on the hotter builds i wick like this. I get better performance with the Veritas single coil.
Same deal, just build it horizontally and then snuggle it right up to the airflow hole. Wicking goes into the well on either side with a small gap under the coil, be generous.
With the vertical I trim the top but it's hard to get enough wicking in the well. Dual verticals provide plenty of wicking.
I just don't like duals; they usually require so much airflow, for the increased heat, that it feels like trying to "smoke a straw" -- not a good substitute for smoking at all.
But I kinda like how the Veritas has the airhole side-mounted, instead of right under the coil; I wonder if that airhole under the coil isn't the prime cause of all the leakage from the Magma.
But here's a very pertinent question: how tightly can the airflow be closed, in a Veritas? As tightly as a Magma with just one of the tiny holes in use? I use just one of the very tiny holes in my Magma, and it's a still a bit airier than I've preferred, though I've gotten accustomed. But if the Veritas can't be closed at least that much, then it would do me no good. "Lung hitting" is not a substitute for smoking cigarettes -- might work as a substitute for *that other stuff*, but not cigarettes.

Tugboat V2. It strikes a great balance between flavor and vapor production, has very good air flow, and the deep juice well means I don't have to redrip too often.
Right now, my Hobo and Odin are my top two. I have a Marquis and Derringer on the way though, can't wait to see how they are.
I have a Zenith v2 on my 4nine that I use for dessert vapes, and a Dark Horse on my Sigelei 100w for fruit flavors. I like the dessert flavors warm and my fruit flavors a little cooler. I also have a Derringer on pre-order that I’m looking forward to trying out.
