No fear again or this?
Depends... they are both very well made 14mm flavor attys with AFC.
NFA will give you more airflow, more hits between squonks, and I think you can adjust the post position. But, it has a super long 510, so it won't sit flush on anything without a catch cup, and it's more prone to leaking.
The Chalice doesn't leak (but may gurgle if you over squonk), and I find it a little easier to build on, and so far I've gotten better flavor out of the Chalice.
I have both, and if I had to only keep one, I'd keep the Chalice. But, I've also had way more time with it, and haven't quite found the right build with the NFA.

^^^ absolutely nailed it, HeEt.

I have both, and prefer the NFA for the more open air. Both are very good 14mm atties.

No experience with the No Fear... I tried to buy one once but it didn't happen with that seller.

Have lots of experience with the Chalice II and III atty's now that I've had them a while though. As a direct lung hitter bigger air is important. It was completely lacking in the CII until I opened up the single intake ever so slightly and learned to slipstream the DT. But that degrades flavor. So eventually I will mod it to big air so I don't have to ss it. Air is much better in the last version CIII's (a little less in the VI CIII). I don't have to slipstream them but do have to take slow long pulls. More ideal for my LDLH's is the one I just modded to big air with a first design (yet can still adjust down to almost no air). The flip side is it is more demanding. When it comes to joose it uses lots of it when ran wide open, and because of how I modded this one it also changes the build considerably. It's kind of like fanning a fire when wide open, somewhat turns the build in it into a fire breathing dragon. So it's more intense, it runs hotter, condenses more joose that is trapped on the chamber walls and a fully saturated wick is just about bone dry with one long hit. A 2.5mm/3mm coil will be my next build in this one. I'm confident it will be fine for DLH's when I figure out the right build for it with this joose. I will be modding another one with another design I thought of, but I want to run this one with different builds for awhile first to learn more before doing it. Then I will compare them to see which mod I prefer, or maybe even try a third design in mind in another one. In time all of mine may be modded for bigger air since I have no plans to ever sell any of them. No specific details for now.

I have 3 of the NoFears and 2 of the Challices, both are great atty's, and I use both everyday, to me the Challice vapes sort of like a Kayfun a little tight, where the NoFear is a little bit more open, great flavor out of both, been using .8 ohm 28 gauge wire coils in both with very good results. I do get more vapor out of the NoFear though, hope this helps,

Thanks everyone for the great Responses! It would seem like the No fear might be the one, that being said I will one day hopefully get a chalice 3 also. Now I have to decide between the 14mm No fear or the 16mm Origen BF thats about to be released. The Origen being 16mm will prevent me from using it on my reo but I all ready have a cyclone for it so idk hard to decide.

Will it work on Reo Mini 14500, with the LONG 510 pin?

Does anyone know what V1 screws should look like and where I can find some? I bought a V1 chalice and it arrived filthy with an old coil and the wrong screws. The screws were shoved down into the coil I guess. I cleaned it all up and the screws fall right out. :(
The posts on Chalice 1 & 2 do not have threads like C3. On the C1 & C2 you put the wire through the post first then screw in and the wire sort of acts as threading to capture the screws threading and you will be able to tighten them down. I had a C2 and the screws are pointy at the tip.

I had no idea what screws the V1 uses, but here's not so good pictures of the screws x101 is referring to that are used in the Chalice untreaded posts. Back when I got my CII in March I contacted Mark to get extras... he was out of stock on them but said once the CIII run was handled that he would be making up more screws for all of his atty versions. I don't know if he ever did or where to buy them if he did except direct from him. Can tell you that at the time they were something like $9-10 each plus shipping from Europe.
