I don't think I ever saw the Holmes before. Really interesting construction. How's the quality level? (Cigreen has disappointed me in the past...)

I don't have any complaints about quality. The threads are smooth, the machining is good, and the airflow control ring is precise (it clicks into each position very nicely). There was a lot of machine oil on some of the parts, but that's only a minor annoyance that is quickly fixed.

Vector: Airflow, easy to build, amazing flavor no leaks. I like this atty so much I haven't touched any of the other I own: Troll, Clt v2/v3+ Mini, Zenith v2 (clone), royal hunter, Mut X v4, Derringer x3, Bambino, Hauster, Velocity and the Aeolus v2 Pro (think I got all of them). I still have builds in my Derringers but after a few drags I go right back to the vector. I saw they have Rose Gold and Gunmetal Vectors now which I'm tempted to pick up but I've also been eyeing the stumpy and a Tugboat v2 with a slam cap.

Give your reasons if you like, but otherwise just list 'em.

1) Velocity
2) Vector
3) Doge X2

Velocity: Build deck, taste, airflow, style, machining quality
Vector: Drip-proof, machining quality, style, taste, build deck
Doge X2: Airflow, style, taste, Doge, it just makes me smile

Veritas, Magma and Freak show

Change in favorites due to new atty...

1. Kennedy Centered 2 Hole with Gremlin Cap - Great airflow, huge flavor, deep drip wells (No change)
2. Nectar Nano - Nice draw, single coil design, great flavor, easy to build, mini tank capacity (technically built like a genesis)
3. Origen v3 - Nice airflow, full of flavor, good juice capacity (formerly in 2nd place)

Bumped off the top three and now a honorable mention.
Derringer

Chipotle.
I'm also going to change my top 3 due to recent acquisitions, so...

1. Kennedy Centered with Gremlin cap - The most airflow I have ever experienced without muting flavor AT ALL, 10/10 will buy more for sure.
2. Kennedy Original w/ original cap - Excellent airflow and flavor preservation, 9/10 in all categories.
3. Lancia w/ dual 3mm airholes - Still hanging in there, but the overall cumbersome design of the airflow adjustment gets an overall 8/10 for me.

Bottom line, if you've not tried bottom direct airflow...YOU NEED TO!

That Lancia is looking pretty interesting... I wonder if I should wait for v2... the deck looks too shallow.

For me currently its all about the Dark Horse. Great no matter how I build it! I have a couple of new ones in the mail, a Mutilator(really am intrigued by the airflow design) and the GA Rampage, I have an idea for the Rampage involving some 34AWG and a fun looking mech. Hope it works out.

for my n00biness my top 3 are:
1. Dark Horse
2. GA Rampage
3. Mutilator

I'm not a fan of the V2, the deck holds less juice and I don't like basically anything about the design of the deck. Yes the V1 does have a shallow deck but if you use the glass top cap(I do) you can see where the juice level is in regards to the air holes, and it makes it very easy to tell when the wicks are dry. Holds 8-10 drops reliably with the way I build it.

1. Tugboat V2 - Just all around versatile with all the caps, really well designed, Flawless keeps reinventing this atty and all you need to spend is 30 dollars on a cap instead of another 90 bucks on an atty. If you can only own one atty this is the one and still my favorite.

2. Aeolus V2 - Seems like some people don't like this one but I do, leakproof, good flavor, great pocket atty to carry around at work, this isn't really a dripper its a pourer lol just dump a whole dripper full in there and forget about it.

3. Kennedy with gremlin cap flavor and clouds for days, high maintenance with those bottom flow airholes though, not one I would carry around all day but a great atty for around the house/more casual occasions.

Change in favorites due to new addition...

1. Kennedy Centered 2 Hole with Gremlin Cap - Great airflow, huge flavor, deep drip wells (Daily carry, can't put it down!)
2. Revolt by Hazematic - Nice airflow, wide bore drip tip, good flavor, well machined, nice juice capacity (change top to 510 option and flavor increases)
3. Origen v3 - Nice airflow, full of flavor, good juice capacity (still a solid flavor machine)

Bumped off the top three but still a great choice...

Nectar Nano - Single coil. Still has strong flavor but I wanted more airflow
Derringer - All around favorite
