Every atty has their ups and downs. I've owned all you listed except the Veritas.

- The Hobo is great for flavor and juice capacity. It was a little cumbersome having to take the whole cap completely off to drip, and building on it is a little tricky to get used to in such a small area. Coil gauge and diameter are really fixed because of the space.
- The Derringer is amazing for flavor but has tendencies to leak because of the cap design. It has a really nice easy to build on deck with a decent amount of juice capacity for how small it is. Because of the cap, I am eagerly awaiting my arrival of the Bambino Atty by JayBo who designed the Tobh. Same concept as the Derringer, but with a fixed outside barrel and removal cap.
- The Marquis is good for flavor and capacity but is a ..... to build and wick (for me anyway). I've built on it twice and it sits most of the time.
- The Stillare is an ok "starter" RDA in my opinion. Its one of the first RDAs I owned and sold, but if someone tried to give me one for free, I would pass.

As of today, my personal go to RDA (I tend to swap them every few days to use the numerous ones I own) has been the Aeolus RDA over the Derringer which is over the Marquis. I like the Aeolus because of the top airflow design. I haven't had a single leaked drop using this thing even when over juicing the coils. The top pops right out, I squirt a bunch of juice in, pop it back on and roll.

My Hobo is my favorite dripper and gets the most use. Currently running a .24Ω build with 24g kanthal. I just remove the drip tip to drip 16 drops in it (8 per side). I do this because the o-rings on my authentic are tight as a sum...... I only remove the top cap when I am cleaning it for a re-wick or rebuilding it.

My Marquis has been shelved.

Never used a Veritas or Stillare.
