Currently rocking a similar build on my marquis clone [tobeco] 6 wraps around a 3mm bit, 24 ga, duals, .34 Ohms. Flavor is on point on top of my SMPL.

Best flavor atty I've tried is the Aeolus. It doesn't leak, it doesn't spit and you can drip a ton of juice in it.

I have a bunch, around 10 RDA's and I keep going back to my RTA's = Kayfuns, Russian and Orchid,
In fact I have decided to stick with those and shelf my RDA's or pass them on to friends,
Make of that what you will ;-)

I tend to agree with some of the flavor chasers being over-hyped. ALL Flavor chaser atties give off better flavor than a Mutation X, Dark Horse, or any of the cloud chasers obviously. Yet I still don't believe one atty is the be-all-end-all of flavor. In the past 2 years I've used the same DIY juice and I've had authentic versions of various different RDA's with similar builds, and have found myself asking this question more than once. What makes a flavor chaser great?
In the old days of last year, I thought it was airflow from underneath when the magma arrived, but the aeolus is great and air comes from the top, and the derringer from the side. Then during my genny phase I thought chamber size was most important, yet Aeolus can get better flavor than the derringer for me with certain builds. Or could it be a tighter draw, leading to more density, that gives better flavor?
In the end I believe it all plays a factor. I have a hobo, derringer, aeolus, magma, bambino, vertex v2, and a cascata currently in the flavor chasing department, and they are all great in their own way, you just have to figure out that perfect build/heat/airflow combination to bring out the best in it.

Yea OperationMove,
I'm realizing half of it is the build and the other half is the atty. I'm starting to think it really has to do with the heat and how much the coils are cooled verses the amount of air passing over them. Too much heat and no flavor (burning juice). Too little and it's not enough vapor to be flavorful with the air-flow. Which ties into your restricted draw, concept. So wattage definitely matters. For me atomizers that seem to get hotter faster seem to have the best flavor. Not sure I'm just thinking out-loud.
edit - I remember I rolled up some aluminum foil and set a direct path from the air flow to the coil so I could use dual air-holes on a single coil in a big dripper. Surprisingly I was getting some pretty good flavor despite the huge chamber and being at 20 watts.
