Sorry for the quality pics. I had to use my tablet to take them. This is a nice atty. I like it so far. The flavor on it is good. With the afc wide òpen you can mtl or lh. Vapor is plentiful and dense. I have a simple 28 gauge micro coil set up in it. I will be playing with it more as the days go on. But as I write this I am realizing this atty makes this epic clouds doughnut pounder taste awesome

I got it fired up last night. I kept thinking the flavor would be better and the air is just a tad too tight for me with both holes open. I may try and play with the coil placement a little to see if I can change it.
My thoughts too. I'm getting good flavor but if you look at the airflow placement in the chamber .... it's pretty tough to get both holes in front of the coil. I'm thinking that it would be better with one hole open only and mtl hits. My 2c. I'm gonna try playing with coil placement a bit and see if it makes a difference.

I haven't coiled mine yet but it sure seems like the air holes are on the low side. I did give it draw test though and I think it'll be good for my MTL draw. Probably gonna wait until Avion gets here before I actually try it.
Like you, I've really been enjoying the Forge...been with me everyday for the last week or so. Personally, I have enough good 22mm attys now. Still hoping for a midsize someday.

That reminds me. I need to hit up that manufacturer of the 18mm atty I was talking about to see what I can do.

I did a single parallel 28g at .45 w/ both holes open and the flavor was good, I test fired on my REO, was satisfied enough to move to my vkiwi but the 510 was just a hair too short, so wouldn't fire. Fat daddy 510 didn't play well with this one. I'll try some other juices in this and see, little fiddly but very promising. In other news I love the forge

Any impressions on the buhawi yet? What u guys thinking? I find myself pretty much using my forge v2 almost exclusively no matter the mod it's on.
i get good flavor from it. but the air flow is too restrictive for me. i have done a few builds on it and it seems to be at its best with micro coils. they are easy to put just about anywhere in the deck. it would be a great little atty if i could get the air hole drilled out a bit. on the plus side this this does not leak at all.

The Forge is a really good atty and is in my rotation. My Buhawi was delivered today but alas I am at work for a few more hours. I might throw a quick build on it when I get home this evening.

At the moment my favorite atty is the Stumpy. Great flavor flexible AFC. Two posts make it very easy to build on and it has plenty of room for those big TC coils. Only issue might be the size of the post holes for those that like exotic coils. I was able to fit a Clapton (28g wrapped with 32g) but I don't think I would take anything much bigger. Wish I had bought two or three when I had the chance.

my favorite atty right now is by far the stumpy by element. chowder did the bf on them. i bought two i liked the first one so much. i bought the first one for temp control builds. but when i got i realized i needed one for kanthal too. it has a huge two post deck so it easily fits any coil you want, the airflow is just perfect for me. it is adjustable from easy lung hit to mtl. the flavor is better than my derringer too. i have one set up running a chuff cap with .24 dual coil and the other is set up single coil temp control with the 510 dt.

second place goes to the derringer
third goes to the freakshow mini (which would be second place if it wasn't prone to leakage)

You guys are gonna talk me into a stumpy yet [emoji15] I try not to spend my money on stuff that has already been covered but with all the hype it's been getting I suppose I ought to see what it's all about[emoji6]

Just trying to figure out which attys to stock by what you guys preferences are.
