Sorry I just bought another member an Odin and some other stuff. But he's fellow military. How old are you and what do you do for a living?

RDA Why does the flavor suck on my RDA?

That wasn't a serious request, but thanks for taking it seriously. Not sarcasm, I know that can be hard to detect through text.
As for my age and occupation, I don't share personal info on public forums. Sorry. I will say that I make barely more than minimum wage though, and there's not really an opportunity for more in the tiny town I'm stuck in.

Oh ok, no problem. I donate authentic gear and juice to the less fortunate and my military folks.

Yeah, it's like 7 wraps on that one, I think? All I've got is a spool of 28g regular A-1, so that's what I work with. I'm thinking of maybe twisting some up though. Definitely gonna get a spool of some 26 gauge soon though.
26 is much better for bigger rda's like that. Twisted 28 would also work well. You need more surface area

Right; well when you get it up in the airflow and it starts to work better, now you need to improve the wicking or lower the voltage.
You can stuff cotton around it except the airflow hole, to try to direct the airflow over the coil then up the tube.
block the airhole that's far away from the coil and use the airhole near the coil
Have you considered a kick for the Nemesis? They are about $7 on Fasttech. My go to coil is a 3mm 28 gauge wrapped about 9 times for 1.8 ohms and I can get flavor and vapor on a Spinner 2. I would agree with blocking the opposite air hole. I use rayon to wick too if that matters. Do pick up that Magma though. Blows my Tobh away.
I run a Stillaire V2 clone with 28g dual coil at .5 ohm. The Stillaire clone works fine for me on a Nemesis clone. Yep a clone and a clone, sue me. Anywho, the Stillaire is good for flavor, but I don't think I'd ever call it great for flavor. You want great flavor and great vapor at a cheap price, get the Orchid V2/V3, V3 has a glass tank and some other upgrades, but the V2 is still a great vape. You will never find the great flavor you search for with the Stillaire clone, it just doesn't have it in it, in my opinion. Great clouds, good flavor.
I'm having the same issue. So is it best for the airflow to hit the coil directly, go underneath the coil, or above it? I'm confused

Direct to the coil. But that isn't a flavor chaser atty, anyways.

Does the drip tip make much of a difference? Wide bore vs narrow? Seems like it could. Also wondering if it could be the juice. I'm getting plenty of vapor, just not much flavor. Maybe I just need to add more flavor/sweetener :-/
I just threw a single parallel 28 g coil in mine clocking in at 0.6 and my flavor has dramatically improved. I'm not sure how many wraps it was, it was being a PITA so I started spinning the mandrel instead of the wire, installed it and measured. Was too high, so I took off a couple wraps at a time till I got it to hit right. It's still a little warm for what I want, but I'll get used to it I suppose. Seems it was a matter of surface area.
The drip tip could have an effect from what I gather but I only have the stock one that fits it right now so I can't test it.

Excellent! It was a matter of surface area and dropping the resistance l to around .5 like I said earlier.

You can take those screws off and file the sharp, sheared edge to help reduce breakage!
Not necessarily. I kept buying RDA, and none gave me that great vape I was after. Until I dug my little iGo L. It was stock, still with the 1 mm airhole. I built a "octopus" style coil with silica and 1.3 ohms. Set it on the MVP and voila! Great TH and flavor. You have to make concessions. If you want great flavor and TH you have to settle for a little less vapor and build it higher. And skip the cotton, that's for the huge clouds.
I suppose it was! I think the surface area had more to do with it than the extra heat, but meh, moot point. It works now, even if it is a bit hot on my throat. It's gonna be rough first thing in the morning, even at 5% nic with a max VG juice.
The flavor still isn't great, but I can taste something now. Before it was all TH and tasted like weird air, not even the sweet VG taste. My TOBH (missing the top cap so useless until I can find one to fit the EHPro clone) and the Patriot I gave my friend still beat it. But I can't use those, so this will have to do till I can get a Magma.
I don't think it's the actual screws, but the sharp edges of the post holes. I checked the screws to see how sharp they were when I first got it and they looked and felt fine.
This is seriously the first and only purchase I'll be making from Angelcigs. I'll save up for an extra week or 2 and buy the $20-30 clones from more reputable counterfeiters (I know, none are really reputable) like EHPro or Infinite before I do that again.
On the upside, this thing chucks some crazy clouds if I try. Not really what I'm into, but it's nice to have the option, lol.

I bought the HCigar Magma from EBay here in the States for $22 I think, didn't want to wait for Fasttech. I justified the $6-7 premium over the FT version because it was HCigar, came with a drip tip, and got here in less than a week.
Looks awesome! I don't have the patience for Fasttech, which is why I went with Angelcigs. Also, at the time I'd just lost the top cap to my TOBH and didn't have any other atomizers or much money, so I went with quick & cheap so I only had to smoke cigs for a few days while I waited, instead of 2 weeks to a month.
Did yours have any problems? Everything I've been reading points to the Infinite clone being the best, which is what I planned to buy.

You'll also find that some juices like more heat and air flow than others and vice versa.
