Yes, for clouds that Snoop Dog would be proud of, more airflow would be nice, I give you that, but for flavour junkie all I need is less room to mute me flavour.

VaporGiant has a new FEV-esq atty called the Kronos
looks like it could be a winner (esp w the nano kit)

That shaft doesn't much bigger than FeVs, so EVEN with afc that airflow shouldn't be much more open than with dripper cap.

People on the German forums complain about leaking when you top fill it as intended, especially in nano mode.
It's too little that it does different / better for my vape preferences to really interest me.
It looks cool, though and if they open the airflow up some more and do top fill right, it would be worth a second look.
Oh yeah, I just saw it's on focalecig already.

What I think Arthur ought to do is to make posts a bit shorter making the chamber smaller.
There is no need for topfill due to issues with possible leaking that come with it.
Airflow ought to came with optional lunghit kit with wider shaft and topcap with airhole equal to shaft and a widebore delrin or glass driptip. Gonna lose some liquid capacity, but don't see that as an issue due to ease of filling.
For traditional mtl it's good like it is.
Maybe also optional nanokits for both lunghitters and mtlers.
It doesn't need much tweaking, just some new parts.
I would also like to see the positive post done like in DID, meaning you could remove the connector rod for cleaning and you could stock up spares in case of total banning in EU.
Fancy stuff like afc-ring, bottom airflow or new deck like Velocity isn't really needed, a statment of original designs greatness.
Yes, I'm a fanboy but I've gone through a lot of tanks.

Yeah, I dont need topfill either.
Arthur designed this clearly as a mtl device, but it works great on higher Watts, lung hitting as well. Just needs the clone chamber / some drilling, heh.
For making the chamber smaller...again an idea from the German forum. Some use a cotton "doughnut" as feeder wick instead of mesh. They just put a larger piece of cotton on the feeder holes in the chamber, that also touches the coil wick.
This automaticly makes the chamber smaller, giving a more intense taste.
Cant say how great (or not) this works, as I havent tried it. However, if you're interested I could look and find some pictures of how exactly they do it and you dont rely on my crappy explaination.
Hey, I am a fanboy as well. There's a reason I didnt buy an atty in almost a year.

The Taifun GS II can use the cotton doughnut option as well, you just cut a piece of KGD to fit. I have not tried it as I use the FeV style mesh feeders on mine. Excellent flavor from the GS II with the bottom feed air open and top closed.
Yeah the only atty I've bought in the last year was a fev v3. Lol
I'm drilled to 3mm, while just the air screw out was fine for lung hits to the 35w range I wanted a little more.
There was a slight decrease in flavor and reducing the chamber may help alleviate that.. I'm thinking full up the side opposite the air hole maybe to reduce it. Not sure if its worth my time but someday i may try it. With 2.5- 3mm coil and rayon there's not a lot of room up top.
You know I got that first tobecco v2 clone and I finally sanded down the tall post and the screw so it fit.. Much better now the posts are almost even.. Why didn't I do this a year ago! Brass sands easily! The screw was a little more work but it came down.

Kinda wondering if Genius v2 could be the answer for better airflow?
Though I must say SIX feeders might be a bit much.

The Horizon is the answer for FEV with more airflow, add the bonus of Kayfun type deck, it works out quite nicely, though the Horizon Tank doesn't seem to be getting much attention, it may be destined to become another overlooked atty.
Looking forward to trying the Kronos, not so sure about the Genius, but may give one a try.
When I went to refill my FeV V3 this AM, I heard this little tink sound of something metal hitting the floor as I pulled the tank off to check the wick. Found a little tiny round pin on the floor that I had no idea where it could possibly have come from so I set it aside.
I filled the tank, checked the wick and when I went to put the tank back on I couldn't find the post. Bingo, that was the little metal pin from the floor. So I pushed it back in the hole and gave it a little squeeze with the Channel Lock pliers.
Not something I'd like to have fall out again and loose while out and about. I'm going to pull it back out and put a little JB Weld on the tank end tonight, then squeeze it back in.
Probably something that would never happen with an authentic.

I've never had one fall out.. Fev v2 &3 still my all day everyday vape.
Maybe I've been sheltered from all the shiney stuff that's come out the last year. But I'm happy and the vape is predictable.

The FeV V3, Big German and KS RTA are my EDC's these days, with a Rose and KF4 in the vape kit for when my Flavor ADHD kicks in.
Idk about the Horizon. The deck plate seems woobly from what I´ve seen, plus I really, really do not like a
Kayfun deck.
I initially thought you can dual coil it, but no. Its a FeV with more air, alright, but air is not coming from the side and again, I really, really do not like the deck. Just my preference here, of course.
For airy alternatives to the FeV, I think the Aromamizer is the most interesting right now. Side air, Velocity deck, different wicking (as in NOT like a Kayfun).
I had that tiny pin fall out of one of my clones as well. Just stuck it back in and its good since.

Deck plate wobbly? Not sure how you arrived at that, it sits in place quite well. Only real comparison to a Kayfun is bottom air flow and similar layout. Flavor is noticeably better then the FEV3, I'm really not that big of a fan of the FEV3, even when you play with the coil positioning the flavor is slightly muted. Smaller chamber of the GS makes for better flavor, I do still use my GS' regularly
Not really a fan of indirect airflow, that and the funky rubber ring for the AFC has kept me from purchasing the Aromamizer. Plenty of atomizers provide good alternatives to the FEV, my reference to the horizon was for those that like the wicking arrangemet, which is nothing like a kayfun.
On that note I look forward to trying the Kronos.

I only saw the horizon once, and the owner mentioned that supposedly wobbly plate.
If I buy an Aromamizer, I'd close off the two indirect airholes for sure. The ring is ugly as sin, yeah, but if it performs well, I wouldnt care too much.
There sure are other possibilities to close the airholes and get rid of that ring.

Plenty of tanks perform well, my Bellus is quite nice and comparable to the Aromamizer @ half the price, as are a number of atties. The Aromamizer may be nice, but I consider it a premium price considering its Country of origin, and knowing what the Chinese are capable of cranking out for much less dollars, at the least they could make sure the air flow lines up properly and have proper AFC.
Anyway, the deck plate does not wobble, not even sure how that would be possible, direct air flow, and smaller chamber contribute to better flavor. Sort of senseless to top fill something that is so simple to fill from the bottom. The Horizon is not a stand out atomizer, but it is a decent 22mm alternative to the Flash.
