You can have mine! I hate that plastic delrin bottom - have to take it off in order to seat the Mephisto into an ohm reader, or the ohm reader can't read it!

Seriously...PM me with your mailing address and I'll toss it in the mail tomorrow afternoon. And, no, I'm not kidding. :)

I haven't tried one, but the Derringer is highly regarded as a great rda for flavor because of its extremely small chamber.

I have had great flavor from my Holmes V2 and Freakshow. There is also a mini Freakshow that will probably be even better, but it doesn't have the two-piece top cap for easier redripping, so that's why I went with the full-size one.

Nobody recommending Veritas anymore? :D

They're all too busy building it to make a post in this thread hahaha.

In response to the original question, I have had my Freakshow Mini for a month now. At first, I wasn't too big on it. My simple 5 wrap, dual 24 gauge build spit juice in my mouth often. Also, I would encounter leaking pretty frequently. Just over two weeks ago, I put in a build that reallllly shines. 5 wrap dual coils, but with twisted 24 gauge instead. Despite coming in at .13ohms (a hot build on a mech), it has eliminated 98% of the spit back I was having. Also, I am having much less trouble with leaking! As long as I use plenty of cotton, I can drip 18 drops through the topcap (no top cap removal necessary, unlike my previous build) and not have to worry about liquid finding its way out of the top cap and airflow slots. The only gripe that I still have about this atty is the fact that not all drip tips will work with it. Currently, I am using a stingrayx drip tip which fits like a glove. I actually ordered a glass drip tip with the RDA, but it did not fit at all. This issue can be easily stomped out by either buying the compcap (an entire sleeve with AFC and a big ... drip hole), or shopping for your drip tip at a local B&M

Coming from the Magma RDA (6 month daily carry) I give the Freakshow Mini a 9/10!! Great flavor, build quality, and looks. It will surely be my daily carry for a whiiiiile.

I recently purchased the Origen v3, Hobo v3, and Kennedy 2 Hole Centered. The Origen v3 is an improvement over the Origen v1 and v2 in terms of air flow and domed cap. Great flavor, nice adjustable draw, and juice capacity. The Hobo v3 sucks. So far, four different builds.. still sucks. The Kennedy is a beast. This 2 holed version is full of flavor, great air flow, and nice juice capacity. The only caveats are not to overdrip and condensation sometimes from the air holes onto your mod. I also have the Veritas.. good atty... always a pain to build on, however, it has pretty good flavor and juice capacity. Just my 3 cents.

As far as flavor atties, I have a veritas, velocity, derringer and a lethal. As far as flavor, I'd have to say it's a draw between the derringer and veritas. They both have incredibly dense and flavorful vapor. I've been pocket carrying my derringer on a copper smpl for a couple of weeks and will likely stop because of pocket leaking but it will have a permanent place atop a brass cartel mech on my desk at work and I'll get another for home because it's just a damned good atty. It may not be the most attractive, but pairing the derringer with a stingray drip tip just makes the experience phenomenal and perfect.

Enough gushing.

If you pocket carry, veritas. If you want more air, derringer. If you're willing to sacrifice a little of one for the other, pick one.
