You have all 3 to compare, Andria?

Don't have an authentic, but I've heard that they have the domed inner shape, inside the chimney-top, as the Tobecos do -- with the EHpro, the inside of the chimney-top is nearly flat, and it really hurts the flavor -- it's like the flavor is *almost* there, but just not quite... it's a tease.

I always thought thicker juice needed thinner wicking.

I imagine there should be an different optimal wick density dependant on the viscosity of the juice.
I also imagine the things @Krisma discussed are likely more important.

I have a hard time with this domed top biz. Other than reducing the inner volume slightly how can it make a difference. I would need to experience it, it's not logical captain. :lol:

Achilles is flat topped isn't it?

The flavor thing is 80% reality and 20% mythology.

So...I picked out 2 very PRETTY kayfun clones - not the cheapest, mind you, But a nice balance of form / function/ price.

Someone's recommending I go with EH Pro clones - they're just not so pretty, but a good deal.

Is it just how much you're willing to gamble on fasttech?

I think we need more interesting colors - aesthetics are really lacking in RTAs. Especially in o-rings and such!

I'm realizing though that aesthetics probably shouldn't be such a priority since it's all about the vape itself.

Hmmm- has this conversation been had here?

If you are looking for coloured o-rings try to google chain maille this craft uses them and calls them jump rings. They are inert rubber or silicon and I am sure you will find many more than in the States than my side of the world.

Also look back at Kats pics. You can bling anything you buy with coloured glass, tips, wraps, stickon jewels, tank dangly things. It up to your imagination.

Aesthetics are very important. If you don't like the look you won't vape it. Either change its look or find something that is pleasing to your eye.

It is, and I have no explanation for why the Achilles' flavor is so intense, other than the fact that it has such a restricted airflow. Unless it's that little doohickey on the underside of the topcap? No clue.

The Magma has a dome shaped interior, in the top cap, and it also has great flavor.

But I have 3 tobeco KFL+'s, and 1 EHpro -- the flavor from the EHpro is maybe half as intense as from the tobecos. It vapes just as nicely, but the flavor is extremely muted.

Hey, thanks for that about the o-rings/ jump rings!

You understand that pretty is important! And, you're right - the beautification process can be organic and progressive!

I consider all mine pretty and if they are not I make them. This is the latest driptip creation
