got me. but no real difference in the real velocity and the clone. the Tobecco clone is high quality.
And the mini is not even a clone? Since there is no authentic mini?

Watch some reviews. Most reviewers rate the Tobecco Velocity clone VERY highly.
And the mini as a great flavor atty and good clouds too.
I have not tried the other ones.

U have both the authentic and clone of the original size ?
Nope I have the mini clone which is not really a clone I suppose.

Guess I am outta here on this thread. contributed all I could.
Should not have even posted unless I owned em all and tried em all?

If i had to choose one of those on your list, i'd choose the tobeco clone. I've vaped both the authentic and the clone, and they vape the same.

Clouds and flavor are pretty subjective, and have about a million variables. I find that RDA design has a little bit to do with it, but building a good coil will go a lot farther.

If you're interested in something NOT on your list:
I've been running a derringer, Single coil, with only one air hole. Built a .8 ohm microcoil (26 gauge kanthal, 8 wraps, 1.5 mm ID). Lots of flavor and enough clouds for me. I put it on a 4nine in 18350 mode and it's pretty impressive in a small package.

How is the tobeco authentic/clone flavor wise outa 10 fully open, half closed and slightly open ?

Well for me, my juice, and my coils, I'd say 6 for fully open, 7 for half open, and 8 for slightly open. I normally run it on a mech, dual contact coil, 2.5 mm ID, 26 gauge kanthal, 7 wraps. Comes out to about .4-.5 ohms. I normally keep the airflow to a minimum, just enough for a lung hit.

I also find it easier than most RDAs to build on.

If you are looking at atties, quality 1:1 clones are a lot of bang for your buck. If you love the atty, buy an authentic as well, this way you can compare different builds more easily.

I keep coming back to my derringer. Good flavor, vapor volume, and I agree, it is extremely easy to build on. I bored the positive post out on mine so I could fit dual coil clapton builds. Sits on my 4Nine all the time.

I prefer mine in 18350 mode...single microcoil, one airhole. .8ish ohms. Warm and flavorful.

18350s haven't got enough current handling for me.
This comes out to .23 ohms, 26/32 kanthal.

The derringer is an SXK/infinite, I got it for seven dollars.
I run mine wide open, flavor is just about on par with my veritas, the vapor volume is just a lot... more. It is a versatile RDA for sure.

Out of the atties the OP asked about, either the velocity or velocity clone. If you pick the clone, you might as well get... two clones.
