Ok, so first off, I'm a FLAVOR guy, but I do Lung Hits all the time and a decent amount of Vapor wouldn't hurt, but like I said, Flavor is TOP priority.

Now, I currently have a Velocity, and it is damned performing great. Chucks the Vapor and licks the flavor :)

But I would need something that can give a much better flavor, I just ordered the Aeolus V2 and I'm currently eyeing an authentic Magma
and this is my question.

How does the Velocity compare to the Magma and Aeolus V2 in terms of Flavor?
And which of the 3 can give the best Flavor?

Is the Magma still the Champ?
Or can the Aeolus V2 Dethrone it?
Or the Velocity wins this one?

Thanks guys!

Cheers! :toast:

The aeolus v2 has incredible flavor and velocity is just meh. The magma is pretty great still but there are better options. I would highly recommend either the Ology (can be bought from viper vape for $55 right now which is a steal) or the Origen v3. Both have amazing flavor and will complement that aeolus nicely. The aeolus has has a really awesome draw to it and the flavor is just different than an ology or origen; you won't wanna stop using it once you get one of those two because it's just so different.

    The Magma IS good.

    Im like you, I desire flavor, but I dont want tight airflow like a cigarette. I like to lung hit, but I dont usually use all my strength FOR said lung hit. Im after a flavourful vape, but almost more importantly, a dense, moist lung fill. Thats the combo I crave.

    The Magma can deliver this, but I dont use mine much. Just not crazy about the aesthetics, and, personally, I dont feel its the flavor king. Def good though, happy to have it in my arsenal.

    The Origen V2(and V1, though mine got ruined), is probably my most used RDA. It just hits every mark perfectly. Ive had the same .28 vertical dual coil build on there for almost a YEAR. Still kicks .... I know, a year. Crazy. But it just works. I change the wicks when they need changing, which is anywhere from 3 days to a week or so, and then I rinse and burn the coils a few times under the faucet. This is about as tight as I wanna go for airflow. I can lung hit it the way I like, but if I tried to use all my strength to lung inhale, it would be tight. A++ on this atty. Havent grabbed a V3 yet, probably will to replace my V1, I expect it to be just as dope.

    Along with the Origen(s), the Veritas and the Quasar are the other two for flavor and dense cloudage. And believe it or not, but the TOBH V2, is actually surprisingly great with flavor.

    Havent tried the Marquis or the Velocity.. would love to try both, but otherwise, the Origen, The Quasar, the Veritas and the Tobh V2(maybe with an aesterisk), are the flavor and vapor kings for me.


    Slomething Im realizing lately though.. while these RDAs make great flavor.. TANKS BRO. The RTA market has really changed recently, and there are now tanks which can handle the low ohm builds of drippers, give dense clouds, and flavor that is unsurpassed. Im currently LOVVVVING the Goblin Mini. IT has transformed some liquids for me, no joke.

    Oh, crap, totally forgot to mention one of my newest loves in the RDA world...

    The Derringer. This little fuc*er makes me happy! Flavor for days, and airflow as much as you could want. Def a must buy.

    Picked up a Freakshow Mini at the same time.. Very good on flavor, but, the design makes it finicky when it comes to leaking out the airholes. So, I dont give it a full thumbs up. Its workable, and def a good atty though.

    I tried out the Marquis (granted, it's only a clone since i couldn't afford the originals 145€ pricetag) and the flavor is pretty much on par with the Origen, but i much prefer the Origens handling and juice capacity over the Marquis.

    Just gonna add this because it seems no one here has really tried the ology:

    Ology >>>>>>>> Veritas

    Designed by the same dude as the veritas but is way easier to build, has better flavor, a much, much smoother draw, holds the same amount of juice and is just as leak resistant. This thing is definitely successor to the veritas because it's better in every single way. It's a shame it never got the respect it deserves as the flavor monster it is.

    After searching high and low for another atty that delivers a similar experience to the ology, I finally found the origen. These two are so incredibly similar in the way they vape it's crazy, the only way to notice the difference is to vape thy two side by side and even then the difference is still almost unnoticeable.

    $55 for what once was a $100 atty and still tops everything out there (except for obviously the origen family) you really can't go wrong. And if you buy it and hate it, there's a good chance I may buy it off you (I already have two but every time I hit up viper vape I contemplate buying another)

    Sorry, </rant>

    Edit:

    The only the thing the veritas has that the ology doesn't is a single coil option. I would not recommend this If you are a die hard single coil guy (or one dem cloud chasahszzszz obv)

    Not to derail the thread too much but I haven't had an RDA that gets anywhere close to the flavor in the Stumpy and low profile attys in general. But YMMV, flavor is subjective and whatnot.
    This interests me; what other flavor oriented attys have you tried? I never stop looking for the best flavor.

    Still love the Tugboat v1 even though it's fairly tall and a bit leaky. Lately I've been rocking the Stumpy and the derringer mostly though. Also have an Aeolus, a doge v2. and a tugboat v2.

    If you're looking for flavor atty suggestions this thread is a goidmine:
