Speaking of authentic, any recommendations? I own a patriot but all my others are clones, and I like the pat so much I wanna look into another.
Tobh v2.5, Stillare V2i, Plumeveil, Tugboat. (Not in that order)
I can't speak to the Plumeveil's performance, as I haven't used one, but I've heard nothing but great things.
The Tobh v2.5 is my current fave. Airflow is perfect (in comparison to the V1/2, which had a really tight draw). I haven't run into this "over tightening" issue and I regularly use 22/20ga wire. In fact, the screws are the best I've used to date.
Stillare has amazing airflow, and gives loads of vapor, but the Tobh gives better flavor.
Tugboat because Murica.
No in all seriousness I like the Tugboat because of the stupid deep drip well, simple design, and it matches my Manhattan really well
