The general consensus is that less air flow means more flavor and vice versa. I find that to be an over simplification but everyone has their own opinion. Generally speaking the higher the wattage you use, the more airflow will be required.
Drip tips may or may not affect the total airflow, that's a matter of opinion too. I find that certain drip tips contribute to the smoothness of the airflow more than anything.

Hi Gents, I have different tanks with adjustable Airflow and various Drip-tip sizes ... I wonder if these two has something to do with the flavor ?
...

For me they Can.

I find that a More Restrictive Airflow tends to Enhance Flavor. And that's what I'm looking for. A Thick, Dense Cloud of Flavor.

So I tend to use Drip Tips that have a smaller Inner Bore on Atomizers where it is hard to adjust the Airflow. Or where there Isn't much of an Airflow Range.

I would generally agree with the defacto "more air = less flavor/bigger clouds" and vice versa type statements, especially when it comes to prefab coils. I would aregue that you're not necessarily getting "less flavor" rather more air in the mix, thus reducing the concentration of flavor on your palate.

If you get in to building your own coils then how you build, what type of coils you make, what guage wire you use, and what wattage you vape at plays a much more important role in the correlation between flavor and clouds. Airflow is still a very important part of this equation but less so than in prefab coils.

My advice is if you have many different tips and airflow setting at your disposal, then maybe take some time to play around with different configurations until you find the right setting for you.
