Me either! People always give my funny looks when I ask for my steak still mooing at a restaurant.

My exact description when asked how I want it cooked is "so rare it's almost raw!"

Cowtown, USA. Where the West begins.
There are a couple of good quality clones out there for less than $20. I have one that gets used almost daily for over a year now and no issues. The authentics with the gold plated center post are nice looking though. :thumb:
I have two good ones myself :)

In my opinion height is s flavor killer..

To me the flavor off s Freakshow Mini has better flavor than the original Freakshow. A derringer or Bambino may have a bit better flavor than the Freakshow Mini if you can stand the HEAT from the coils in those RDAs.

In RTAs s short RTA with a well designed chimney will have more flavor than a taller or less well dedigno chimney in another RTA because the vapor is more dense and can't expand much from coil to mouth.

Everyone is going on abouy the Billow V2.

I had one and sold it. I started at 15 watys and ran it up to 40 watts till the vapor was too hot for my tastes never got one satisfactory vape out of it. I built it twice.

The two RTAs I use.

The Goblin Mini literally blew the doors off the Billow V2, and at 15-17.5 watts.

The Silverplay Nano blew the doors off the Billow V2 at 12.5 watts.

All three RTAs used the same juice from the same bottle.

I was at a vape shop yesterday to pick up a bottle of juice for s friend wanting a good Tobacco flavor.

I blee a tasty cloud and the person behind the counter asked to see my wattage and resistance. His eyes nearly fell out of his head when be saw my resistance was .89 ohms and vaping at 12.5 watts then removed the base of my GMini (use it under acrylic cap) he couldn't believe I did that with a single coil.

You don't need 100 watts if you know how to coil and wick and get a flavor chasing atty.

I am sure I will get hate mail..
No hate mail here. I tried all your rtas as well...landed on the Aromamizer....thing chucks the flava flav. Compressed vapor is flavorful vapor. I agrees.

True story. :)

My dad used to say something similar. "Just walk the cow slowly through the kitchen".

I'm a dual user. I chase clouds AND tootle puff. I like the clouds. I get some sort of emotional release from blowing out a huge cloud that helps to relieve stress much the same way an analog used to. But I can't do it all day. I chain vape and large volumes (20 - 30 ml a day) of high VG fluids make my chest feel heavy. Most of the day, I just tootle puff on a KFL. Batteries last 10x as long, uses a LOT less juice, doesn't fog up my office, etc... So, when tootle puffing, I try to build for the best flavor I can get out of a tank to maximize the enjoyment. I have different tanks built for different juices since some taste better when they burn hotter and some taste better cooler.

EXACTLY! some ATTYS produce clouds and not much flavor. Others like the Kayfun Orchid Silverplay Nano and Goblin Mini cab produce good flavor without super high wattages. On my flavor chasers I never need fo higher than 20 watts for a satisfying flavorful vape.

Then others I can go up to 40 watts a d never get any flavor out of it.

I made a faked Silverplay Nano with the Silverplay base and barrel the. Put a Kayfun Nano chimney and Bell cap. I hated that. Could not get any flavor out of it then I bought a clone of the Silverplay Nano from fasttech. And the Silverplay Nano clone gives awesome flavor while the original Silverplay tasted like cardboard.

If all depends on how the atty was designed
 
I do not really understand. Cloud chaser I understand. You want bigger plumbs or clouds. For a flavor chaser I just add more flavor to the mixing process if I want more. One that buys juice from a vendor then buys multiple coils and toppers to try to get more flavor out of it? So if you buy a 30ml bottle and you do not get enough flavor out of 5 or 6 refills you buy another bottle from the same vendor and keep trying? Help me understand so I don't chuckle when someone says they are a flavor chaser. CHEERS!
Congrats, you DIY.

I've found out that 50/50 blends are most satisfactory to me when I mix my own juice. When buying, even max VG I try builds that supposedly enhance the flavor, let you taste everything in there. You can notice the difference from tank/RDA to another due to different builds. So far my .29 fused clapton on my Mutation X V4 is the best for thick juices, next to my Kayfun V4

    So is diameter.

    Small chamber = flavor.

    If you can't stand the heat from a short atomizer, find one with more height and less diameter. Mine (A7 mini) is only 8.5mm across inside.
    It sits on a mechanical with a 2 ohm coil in it, and I actually REDUCED the amount of flavoring I put in my juice.

    I do not really understand.

    The important thing is you are trying! I think the fundamental misunderstanding is the atomizer, not the number of bottles people go through. If people are anything like me, if they don't like the juice, they don't like the juice and never order another bottle of it again. Just as with clouds, different atomizers with different builds provide different flavor. Flavor chasers prefer atomizers and builds that prioritize flavor above other factors. I like to see a cloud, but it isn't the main reason I vape. I like my vape to taste great.
