funny you posted about the buhawi as i was typing it
I have watched a couple reviews on the buhawi and it looks good. Top air and reduced chamber coupled with good looks. Airflow options are somewhat limited however but I think it will suit many of our tastes.

I will look at the zenith. the velocity can be ordered bottom fed but I believe it's gonna need work to drain properly. The one I have coming has the bf pin so we shall see.

i just got a stumpy from ch. man i love this thing. becoming my favorite atty
Yeah that thing looks really well built. I'm gonna have to snag one for my rotation. I think top air only attys are a quickly dying fad. Seems you have to have directed airflow to the coils to get good flavor. I think that's why the manta works so well and the rogue/vector styles are not making flavor as well. I really think bottom airflow with reduced chamber is the best for flavor imo.

Roscoe are you brainstorming b/f rdas for Tom to convert? Just curious haven't seen any talk on the buhawi over there? Looks awesome!

Actually I am doing attys myself. Only clones and stuff that tom is not interested in doing. Just trying to offer some more options for people since tom stopped doing clones.

i agree with the bottom airflow being the best for flavor. i did a freakshow mini myself and it really has awesome flavor and chucks the vape too. but it is very easy to over squonk and get a nice leak.
the side airflow on the stumpy is great and easy to adjust. plus it is so easy to build on. i got it to build on for temp control. i am gonna get another one

I've tried many RTAs and RDAs in the 3+ years I've been vaping, and for me, bottom air flow is the key to a completely satisfying vape.
Chalice is the only side air atty I've tried that also gives me what I'm looking for. I like single coil, and a relatively tight draw. Still searching for the 22mm atty that'll give me that. Although I have high hopes for the Nectar micro.

Have you tried the a shortened lancia? Fabulous vape when shortened. I have found wicking to be key for bottom air attys. I only use rayon in bottom air attys. Rayon doesn't over saturate and get weepy like cotton. It soaks what it needs and lets the rest drain.

I have, and it's close...haven't given up yet, but the air "adjustment" isn't ideal. Definitely going to give it a chance though. Really like the looks too.

I just read on Tbevs thread that someone bought it, saying he thought he looked perfect but after running some juice through it....... It quickly became a leaker .....over sqounkin involved?? Just a heads up..... may wanna look into the nectar a lil further? maybe they weren't talking about the micro? I'm sure I can find it and quote it here if you'd like..... Or maybe that person I'd here and can elaborate? We all travel through the same threads.
