For my vape I find that airflow will play a very important part of vape (flavor) as well as coil placement. I have an Nuppins, Odins, Cyclone AFC, and the Calice III that all have adjustable air flow and I do not use any of them with the airflow WAO. It helps that I like a bit of resistance in my draw but if I open them up too much I loose the flavor.
When getting a new atty I always start with the same 1/16 28ga .9ohm coil and build where I think it is in line with the air hole. Then I wick and vape. Rarely do I get it exactly right out of the gate. I adjust my air flow about 25-50% open then move the coil up and down to get a productive vape. Sometimes I tilt the coil/wick and move the airflow hole back and forth to see what difference it makes on the high end or low end. Each adjustment gets me closer to what I want. When I get the hole location where I want it I open and close the air hole for the sweet spot.
I do all of this in very small increments. As FB has said many times 1mm makes a big difference.
It may seem like all that is a PITA but it really just takes a few minutes of playing. The Chalice III was that hardest for me to get right but what I did not know is I had a cold coming on and my vape was off on all the single coil attys. I needed some dual coil builds to get the flavor back. Now with a full on cold flavor is gone.
Another thing to remember is If you use any type of organic wick then you just added another variable. I also dilute my juice and I am sure that that has an impact on the amount of airflow I like as well for taste.
Point is, a great vape has always been subjective to the person and all of these attys are capable of producing an amazing vape but it is not automatic. There are great pics and advice to get you started but play with it a bit and see if the reward is not worth the time.
