RDA Am I the only one that finds the Doge v1 Flavorful?

[PuffADay]

Everyone bags on the doge for being a beast at vapor production but not putting out any flavor. Just about everyone I tell I get very good flavor on my doge v1 asks if I am serious. I find that halfway closed off the doge is extremely flavorful but many beg to differ. Am I the only one that truly enjoys the doge for the flavor AND clouds.

I have the Doge v1 and I was feeling that I was getting no flavor out it. It went unused for about a month, then yesterday I decided to give it another try. I put a single parallel coil in there using twisted 30g kanthal (this was my favorite build for my Mutation X V3, so I tried it in this guy) and the flavor is actually rather decent. I have the airflow closed off half way, which is actually as far as it can be closed before one of the dual coil slots starts to peek out the other end. I think the real difference maker is that I'm using a very short thin bore drip tip, it's literally half as wide as the stock derlin drip tip on my Mutation X. That huge row of heat sinking fins does a great job of cooling the vapor, but it does kill the flavor IMO. The thin bore drip tip concentrates the flavor and is much better than a wide bore tip on the Doge IMO.

You might be... i feel like the Doge and the Troll (all rev's i've tried which i have no idea mostly just people's builds in the shop) are very airy and produce "diluted" flavor. Too much air and the wattages normally used to "blow clouds bro" screw up the flavor in my experience. You might be building higher resistance... inhaling slower or wicking better than most if you're getting anywhere near "good" flavor from the Dodge

i love the doge flavour, mind you i think the Airek with its huge air is pretty good too and i only use 3% flavour

Don't have the v1, only the v2, but I'll tell you what, I get great flavor from a single coil on that thing. I have the mutation x v3, freakshow mini, vertex v2 (clone), and a zenith v2 and I can honestly say I like the doge the best. I even enjoy it wide open on a dual coil. I think the built in chuff cap is the best part. Love this thing.

You're not alone. I read probably a hundred reviews on the doge when I made my last rda purchase. A lot of the reviews I read talked about the good flavor. I almost bought one.....instead buying the freakshow. The doge will be my next purchase.

Its more in how you build it, as with any dripper. To a certain extent, the more you restrict airflow, while matching your build to that reduced airflow, you will get more flavor. The Spheriod is a case in point. That little puppy puts out the flavor.
On the other hand, if you build for massive airflow. You will give up some flavor(cue all sorts of outrage...I truly feel that some folks are mixing up quantity with flavor) If you up the resistance in the Doge, and choke down the airflow, you will, to a point, get more flavor.

This makes me happy that you say this! I'm highly considering picking up a Doge... I have a mutation X V1, two mutation X V3's and a freakshow... The mutation X V3 is by far my favorite due to the clouds I can blow. But it also can have great flavor if I close half of the air holes... Should I pull the trigger on the Doge??

Should I pull the trigger on the Doge??

You mean you haven't already?

IMO - The Doge (v1 & v2) both aren't built for flavor. However since taste is subjective, I find some people enjoy their Doge atty's wide open and still say it's a good flavor. However, I close my Doge airflow down to enhance flavor. But if I'm cloud chasing, I keep that baby wide open.
