Similar performance really - both great flavor and good with that build.
Here's the trade-offs:

Narda - limited air. You can do a lung hit, but it'll be a little restricted, and may whistle. Also, impossible to get the authentic, so you have to be happy using a good clone.
Hadaly - A bit more air, but the intake is lower, so you can oversquonk and get some gurgling. Not LEAKING, but a little gurgle you can clear with a vape. Authentic is available for under $60 this weekend on sale, and clones are out, too.


I'm getting BF mechs so I'll have something stronger than a P2.5/KFL+ when our regulated OLED screens quit displaying in 10 years or so. No patience to drip every few hits.

I use dual 24ga 3mm id 6/5 wraps @ .25Ω at 69w in my Aromamizers.
Simple to wick and exactly the vape I want.

Flavor more than clouds I guess. Hadaly or NarDa?

    Personally I'd skip the Narda, both mine (FT clones) whistle no matter what build I put in. (or how I have the air flow set)

    I currently have a Velocity v2 clone mounted on my CV. Easy to build a single coil, no seepage on the air holes and the seemingly long wick tails provide a good handful of vapes/pulls between squonks.

    FWIW, I've never had a whistling atty which couldn't be fixed in 5 minutes. Just a matter of breaking the sharp exterior edge of the air holes. I use a Dremel with a conical stone, but can also be done by hand with a stone, small file, etc.

    Its good you can do this... Most shouldn't have to!!! Most vapers don't own nor even know what a Dremel is and are confused by the variety of files in general...

    I agree.

    And the vaping Gods favor those who are willing to break an edge ever Now and Again.

    That's the tradeoff with clones. Figure you gotta finish them yourself. Then, when it happens that you don't have to, it feels like a freebie. :)

    Funny thing is its not just the Narda clone that whistles. The authentic does as well...:shock:

    The below is some snippets from the authentic Narda review on Flavorchasers.

    Even with the whistling they think it's the best thing going , their review of the Hadaly wasn't as positive when discussing it as a squonking atty, just their opinion of course , others love it.

    The NarDA does have an AFC, but this is where the only real con comes up for us, it can be a little loud and even whistle at some apertures when closing it down. It seems to be an unavoidable dilemma based on the design, the dual airflow channels are directly across from each other, closing them down are going to cause an airflow resistance enough to make it whistle. Maybe some bevelling will help, maybe not (might screw with the killer simple design aesthetic too). But to be honest with the flavour so incredible and the ability to build it so it functions well fully open, who cares.

    In many ways it is Just Me.

    But I came from an Era where just about Everything e-Cigarette-wise needed to be Tweaked slightly to make it at it's best for a Person. It what we used to call doing a "Mod" on something.

    So I don't really think twice if an Edge needs to be Broken or a something like a Slot needs to be Enlarged.

    When I get a $12 RDA and it needs a Little Tune Up, its not really a Big Deal. I almost Expect it.

    I'm aware of the cause of the whistle.

    I just prefer velocity decks and the NarDA deck isn't the easiest to build on IME.

    I found that if I take the negative screw Completely out of a NarDa that it is Much Easier to get the build Going and Aligned.

    But you are Right, Velocity Style Decks are Easier to Build.
