IMO, the little 510 atty out performs the rest. It seems to have better vapor and tastes better. To me, taste is VERY important and I think the 510 atty does a better job than the others of bringing out the true flavor.

The other two atties seem to have a more flat taste. The 510 atty seems to bring out both the top note and body note so that it taste better and has a more "accurate" taste. By accurate, I mean it tastes like what the flavor is supposed to taste like. With the 510, especially a new one, if I am vaping maple, it tastes like maple. Whereas, the other atties do not taste as much like maple. If I am vaping other flavors, same result.

While I can appreciate an e-cig that can hold a lot of liquid and won't leak, to me, a good-tasting atty is more important. I think the 510 atty has it over the others.

I've come to the conclusion that most of the flavor problems with the megas are due to the large amount of juice in the atty. There is a large cup and a big ball of mesh inside the mega and the tank attys. Any time I've noticed a flavor drop off in my megas, I've blown them out and that solved it. Blowing them out produces a lot of juice on a paper towel. I think that juice warming up and cooling off and warming up and cooling off inside the atty loses its flavor. - The tanks have two things working against them for "muted" flavors. Not only do they have the large cup and big ball of mesh, they also deliver cooler vapor. For some flavors, that's OK (most of my really sweet or mint flavored juices are A-OK from the tanks) but other flavors (tobaccos and coffees, for instance) need to be delivered hotter to taste right.

i agree with the OP, the stock atty brings out the flavor better than the mega or tank atty. when i plug a LR atty to the riva/ego (and still use the stock cart) i notice even more flavor and more vapor.....that is my "juice tasting" combo along with my fav all-day-vape-combo. im keeping my finger crossed that the vortex carto works similar to LR stock atty and cart.
