in reference to flavor, it's there, i dripped exclusively until i got my ufs and the flavor is the same.
fwiw, you can actually use a debridged atty in a ufs and it works just as well, just vaped a tank of juice on a debridged atty just fine.
eta: another thing i noticed, if vaping at higher voltage like 6+ (2 x RCR132a 3.2v) it doesn't matter if you flood the heck out of the atty, in fact i prefer to flood it, the strength of the bats and heat light that atty up and make flavorful plumes of vapor. it sounds like its drowning, gurgling, and you can "feel" the resistance of the liquid globs inside the atty and tube, but it doesnt bother me, the tremendous vape is worth it.
