I know this is a can of worms since what makes taste "great" is often subjective. But I'd like to get some opinions. This is mainly for MTL vaping...aka "great taste", but I think the principles should apply for any type of vaper or atty.
I notice that more-recent atties, now just randomly mention VandyVApe Berserker any many others, are way more compact than the oldschool types, like my beloved KF Lite V2 Plus, which *overall* is still the most satisfying MTL device for me.
* Height of the internal chamber.
You can see this when you compare, say a Kayfun to a more modern one. The Kayfun has a larger vape "chamber" which goes almost the entire length of the tank. New devices have a short chamber, like a dome/cap over the coils. Since recent so-called "best MTL" devices all have a short chamber, is it right to assume that this means "better taste"? (Eg. Svoemestro is advertizing their latest KF Lite 2019 as "having better taste since the vape is concentrated in a smaller chamber"...but of course this could just be marketing blahblah. (I was NEVER very happy with anything Svoemestro did after Kayfun Lite, for MTL, V5 is horrid and V3 was "meh". And to me it looks, the entire change in KF Lite 2019 is the super-small tank which now all atties need to have by law....doeesn't need it's necessarily "better"...
* Height of the chimney
See, what's its name, Coppervape Spica Pro. Where you can adjust the chimney height. (The chimney, of course, is the smaller tube leading up from the "chamber"). I can also experiment with my Kayfun parts here, and make one with the super-chort chimney from the Nano kit, with smaller tank. The question is, which is "better": No doubt, the vape is hotter with short chimney...but this doesn't mean it's "better".
In addition to that, I have confusing information about the Spica Pro, where some say that a longer (!!) chimney makes for a better throat hit. (My common sense tells me a shorter chimney would make better TH...but I can be wrong)
* Height of the coil above the air hole.
I have seen several people saying that MORE distance of the coil to the air hole below means better taste and throathit. Can someone confirm this? This also contradicts what I though. I thought coil closer to the hole means better throathit.
* Diameter of the air hole.
Yesterday I read somewhere that the diameter of the hole right under the coil is the most important for "good taste", much more so than the outside air intake hole on an atty. The person said that a smaller hole makes a lot of difference, but a smaller intake hole outside the atty regulates only airflow, but has no influence on taste whatsoever!
I think all these things are interesting, since it could help someone with the expected flavour of a device, just judging from specs and dimensions.

I own several Kayfun Lite V2 Plus clones ("Still King for MTL"), KF V3 Mini Plus ("ok"), V5 ("horrid for MTL"), Berserker ("leaking POS") and currently I have a Dvarw coming since everyone is so hyped about it. Most excited about the Dvarw.
