I'm a fan of Derringer so, derringer!

Btw there's a wicking trick when you wick verticals or horizontals to boost the flavour, but reduce the vapour a lot. for verticals, usually the upper end of the wick bends down and lay at the side of the coils, touching. This reduces vapour but boosts flavour. Lay it behind the coils, taking the airflow inlet as a front, so it's (from the direction of airflow) Airflow holes, coils, then the wick. For horizontals you could lay a piece of cotton between the coil and the post. This is kinda a spitback fix for the derringer too.

    Derringer gets very hot at "normal" power levels but is good at low power for flavor. With single coil I'm liking 12 watts into a 1.4 ohm twisted #30 coil. Weaknesses are the messiness when removing the cap, and the airflow adjustment is crude for a flavor atty and leaks air too much for it work correctly when set below 1/3 of a hole. So I also have to use gentle drags. I set up the coil bottom about even with the bottom of the air holes due to the slight upward tendency of the air and the restriction under the coil caused by the wicking close on both sides.

    Also have Doge clone, easier to work with (like a 70s American car compared to Derringer's Miata) and cooler, less flavor but not night and day. Haven't tried the Marquis but got a Veritas clone and it sucks. A flavor atty that doesn't really work with low airflow makes no sense, plus all its other issues. It is very leak resistant.

    You are doing it wrong.
    I keep all three of mine at .20 ohms, dual coil, 26g kanthal.
    Never hot, awesome flavor , zero leaks or spitback.

    Keep your coils low and close to the air intake, don't over wick or over juice.
    I rock mine on a dual 18650 fully mechanical cherry bomber.

    1.4 ohms?
    No wonder it doesn't work right.
