Wow. This thing is nothing short of a good time to build on. I am not sure if I've ever had any RDA that on the first build resulted in an aboslute perfect set-up! Wow. Just wow! I hope this thing is copied to no end (meaning in how others approach RDAs, not necessarily in cloning it).
Now, unfortunately, I just don't find myself all that thrilled with the vape itself in terms of flavor. I mean, I couldn't have it set up more perfectly, it's wicking like a champ and the density of the clouds is fantastic -- but the flavor is just not concentrated enough. When I close of the airholes, it just feels like any other RDA with the airholes closed off -- restricted. I like a tighter draw, but not in closing off airholes, I like a somewhat stiffer draw becasue the max airflow is just a little less. No RDA that I've used (and I've used several) has ever felt right to me with the airholes closed off.
Comparing this to the OG Veritas (which would be impossible to not do), I would say that the ease of build and the overall enjoyment in handling the atty is absolutely no comparison! Hands down that would go to the Marquis. But, for the saturation of flavor, in spite of how much of a pain that thing was to build on, the Veritas was better for flavor (to me). I sold my Veritas becasue I can't have an atty that I abhor building on, no matter the quality of the vape. I will continue to play around with different builds to see if one suits me best, because this atty is just too wonderful to use to not give it a chance at satisfying the user. But, if I can't find that sweet spot, I will just hold this up as the new standard for which I look for in newer attys.
