I'm looking for the best, non-genny, rba that hits like an rda on the market. Or at least the closest to it. I'm currently using a KFL+ but after moving on to drippers, it just seems so tight to vape with. Already drilled out the side air hole and removed the set screw for air adjustment. Opinions are very appreciated.

Welcome to ECF Shayker...
There's really only one RTA that has the air flow of a genny or RDA. No, not the Flash E-Vapor, not the Fogger V4... and certainly not the Taifun, Kayfun, Aqua or sQuape.
The GUS Estia is, for now, about as close as you'll get. They are run with 3 coils - designed for 3 coils and deep sub-ohm resistance - and capable of, more than adequately, supplying juice to all three coils.
Read a well photographed, and although a bit "gushy" and subjective, well written review of the Estia by 'Qorax', here.
I can forgive his gushyness... they are a brilliant atty, and IMO, no conventional tank atty, to date, comes close.
If you're not a dedicated and fairly advanced builder, with pockets deep enough to drop $160 (at least until the Chinese clone them)... the Estia isn't the atty for you.
Although they don't have the air flow of a good genny or RDA (or Estia)... the Flash E-Vapor, and Fogger V4 perform (modestly) better than the Taifun, Kayfun or sQuape.
Note... SvoeMesto is working on an entirely new design.

That's a nice looking Atomizer. I would love to see how that vapes. Now where did my wife hide that damn credit card. She would have a S*&^ fit about that like she did when I bought the Aut. kayfun 3.1 But it might be worth hearing the yelling. I'm sure someone is already working on a clone, or at least considering it.
I'd like to say that I'm a Estia owner... but as I live in a cardboard box under the Space Needle, I can't afford one.
I build all the coils for my well healed vapist friend and neighbor who, due to a brain injury, has issues with fine motor control... so I have a bit of access to all the latest, greatest high end atomizers.
There are a few attys I didn't include, like the lovely Rose, the GP Heron and the newly introduced Highwind Ruzgar (a glass tank KFL type atty)... which although all very nice, don't have exceptional air flow either, IMO.
Me? I'll have to wait for a clone, or my mate to gift me his. I'm not holding my breath.

Man, that thing looks wild! Kind of a bummer it doesn't have a 510 connection, though, because that would require a mod purchase on top of buying the tank.
I'm not opposed to customizing either if someone has found a setup that works.
I'd read here about some folks drilling out a Squape but after checking one out at one of the local B&M's it still looks like one would be limited by threads into the deck for the pin to screw into. Not to mention the tank just looked jankity(bad clone)
I'll check out the Flash and the Digger V4.
What about the Aqua since the Estia takes some cues from it?

Fits any mech with 20/1 thread pitch. The one I build is on a GP Paps.

Connections are fairly easy to overcome I see adapters to just about anything. I am a Machinist by trade so I could make pretty much any adapter needed, even something that would flow nicely between tank and mod. I just have to figure out an angle to get my wife onboard with the purchase. lol
Its awesome you build coils for your friend, Life gets in the way of helping others to often. I'm all for taking a breather and taking care of some good friends needs. A+ Brother, Your a good man.
