For me, the "one" right now is the Veritas. This atty gives AMAZING flavor and vapor production (and I own both the Origen and Magma), and it's almost impossible to get it to leak. the way you build on it is very innovative IMO. You drip through the massive airhole in the back of the atty, and your juice hits the coils on the other side. The juice then drips down into the juice well, and gets "trapped" for lack of a better word. So there's virtually no way to get it to leak...

Here is my Dual Coil build with 26ga. Kanthal...

Nice setup.
I saw this when it came along but wasn't convinced it would be any different than my 3 post drippers. Is there a big difference in flavor and vape from the standard 3 post designs?

I believe that it's not the flavor or vapor that would be different, at least not by much to a traditional dripper. where the veritas shines is the juice capacity together with the leak-less design

Flavor, temp and vapor are very different due to the reduced chamber.
Chamber reduction is going to condense the vapor thus increasing flavor. All other factors being equal it will also slightly increase the heat of your vape and reduce cloud production.

I'll have to look into the Viking.
I have a Magma that i have yet to set up but I have been interested in all RDAs that have under coil air source.
So far that is the system that Titanium Modders from Ukraine use with a single raised air post coming out of the base.
I agree under coil air makes it the best for flavor.

I've "tried them all" is pretty much impossible but I've damn near tried all there are out there.
So far my Ti's Prometey2, Achilles are best but not for cloud chasers... the vapor is great just not maxed out for that (which imo focus on vapor over flavor for the most part). Single coil.
There is a new dual coil double air post dripper out now which i ordered; the Eclipse; can't wait.

I like the direction that's going but I think it sound be better if ask the posts and tubes were half as high, it seems like a long way to wick from the deck and leaves a lot of extra volume in the chamber leading to lack of flavor. I'm all for big deep wells but that's a but overboard imo.

that is a point about the Ti attys... not about the chamber size, because its hard to beat the flavor of a Prometey or Achilles,
but ie. Achilles, coil has up to 4mm distance to the juice wells which means you can't go lower than say .5 ohms without some burning vs the Tobh or other straight up drippers with coils on the base right on the juice, and huge air holes....but the flavor makes up for it at .5 ohms and up. I won't vape anything but these two for months now.
The Eclipse is closer to the juice because its just deep base and like the Viking you can fill to about a couple mm below the air hole before juice will get in the air posts.

Because it is the first RDA I have ever tried. :laugh:

Seriously though. Good flavor. Good airflow but I am just not getting the clouds I expected. Probably just my build. Running a dual coil at .96Ω (shaddup you! :)) with cotton wick. I'm pretty sure my wick sucks. This is my first time after all. I am taking my time stepping into this and didn't want to jump right in to .5Ω or below just yet.

I'm going to try a lower ohm build with more wicking tomorrow. Should be better. We'll see. Now that I think about it, it will be better! It's all about experience, isn't it? Lovin' every minute of it! :vapor:


don't make the wick too tight in the coil it needs to flow the juice into the coil quickly. If the cotton is tight when dry, it gets tighter when wet due to swelling and that means less juice flow, less vapor.... :)

I like the look of the Eclipse deck. I'm thinking of ordering one.

Me too... ordered one.
The advantage over the Achilles which has one air post in the middle (which means you have to or should take the top part of the cap off to fill - 1+ml or juice will drip into the air post), is the Eclipse has off set air posts so you can fill through d/t... it also has AFC cap.

Thanks! Yeah, I rebuilt it this morning with a .75Ω coil and less cotton. Running at 24 watts and it is freaking awesome!
