as Roxy said, this is a good list. I am a flavor chaser and have tried a few of these.
The Rose v2 is probably my number one. Very little air flow, but what air their is carries the juice vapor (flavor). A rather slow draw though. Good for the evening.
Those where you have an adapter to close off the second coil's air hole changes the mechanics inside the coil compartment. I just consider plain single coil set-ups.
Also, considering the mix of air and juice vapor, a dome or angled roof of the coil compartment the goes up to the chimney helps. I see a flat coil compartment roof and just know that vapor is getting stuck in the flat and not rising up through the chimney.
The others are good, but there is some personal preferences involved as to color, size, etc. Funny thing to me, is that the Lemo v1 still holds its own. Just lower the airflow/intake. Actually, that is a consideration for all of them. Excess air is good for clouds, but will always be a hinderance to inhaling mostly flavor.
Quoted from Roxy: For m2l flavor chasers I recommend most:
Rose v2
Gus Phenomenon Lite
Ataman 2
GP Spheroid
Those have clones as well although the Ataman clone seems difficult to find now. And I forgot the name of the inexpensive atty that's almost identical to the Spheroid.
In the budget category, look at:
EHPro Mini Buddha
HCigar HC Plus
Bellus using single coil adapter
Lemo v1 with airflow closed down
Aga t5

Thank you Frenchfry And everyone for such helpful awesome suggestions. I know this thread will help a lot of people as its really helped me and I greatly appreciate y'all help and input!
no one mentioned the UD bellus yet....seems very nice....posts instead of screws, topfill, single and dual coil, not that expensive, gets nice reviews.....I love the Goblin Mini from the same manufacturer so I'm gonna give it a try....

Luckily, I've rarely had to drain a tank, so I'm grateful for the Lemo2, Marc 
. I love how they did the top fill, but if I do ever need to drain it, it may be more difficult than the Lemo v1. Thankfully I haven't had to drain an MT either.
But, having deck access is convenient for people on a tight schedule, and for new builders.

Hehehe, thank god ive never thought about draining the Lemo 2!, i either just vape whatever juice is left and through whatever vapemergency requires access to the deck, or if its dire, i just dump the juice, usually because if its a burnt wick or whatever, it usually affects the juice anyways. Since moving to tc fulltime its even less of a concern
Even with my TFV4, where you can take it apart without dumping the juice, you can only do that when the juice is lower than the chimney top
I have a Buddha Mini and Gus Phenom in-bound. They look like good toppers for me. I do wish that they had pyrex or glass.
Cthulhu is good flavor RTA ... Version 2 made it easier to build with single/dual deck options.
I mostly prefer RDA's as i like to chase flavor rather than clouds.
Most of the RTA's are a pita to build and leak with atmospheric changes.
Perhaps you should also take a look at hybrids like Origen Genesis V2 MKII & Le Magister. They both hold a ton of juice, great on flavor and not too bad to build.

I guess I forgot. Actually, a Tilemahos V2, Gus Phenomenon Lite, a Goblin Mini are still reroute. Two Buddha Minis are being played with now. Getting good clarity of flavor, but the 18mm diameter tanks are only 3ml. Would prefer 3.5 or more.
I've never used mesh, never even bought mesh. I'd have to read up on that for sure because it truly boggles my mind for sure. I would t even know where to start.
Squape RS, Mark Bugs Gem, Hurricane....
Those are the ones I have in constant rotation. They're all fantastic. Also, the Origen v2 mkll genesis is an amazing tank. Dual or single coil, vertical or horizontal coil, cotton or mesh. Easy build, excellent flavor and great looking. Can't go wrong.

Yes, the Squape Rs is pretty good. I get some leaking into the bottom air chamber via the center pin on one of mine. I just blow it out through the air intake hole into a paper towel, though. Its not to much to leak out on its own.
The UD ATA T5 is pretty good for flavor, too. Only like $12 for an authentic from Triangle Vapes. A rather good deal

Hey Bella, I remember you from the byLeo forums. =)
I'd suggest the GP Heron v2 (22mm) or GP Spheroid v4 (16mm I believe) is worth a look. They can be run "fluffless" like any other rta (but without flow control) as an option but I am a firm believer in the "fluffed" build as it is a design consideration rather unique in the vaping world.
The fluff is a synthetic fiber (reminiscent of cartomizer filler) that is stuffed into the tank section of the atomizer to suspend the liquid in the tank. The wicks make contact with the filler to provide liquid to the coil. It's kind of like a tank-fed dripper as far as I can tell and the taste is awesome once you've got your build setup just the way you like it.
The reason I prefer the fluff is because it takes away the issue surrounding air pressure/vacuum from tank setups. Not only is it my preferred device for traveling as I don't have to empty it out before getting on a plane, it is my preferred device period, so far.
