Drop Solos are awesome for me. If one wanted to, you could twist the AF shut, and flood the hell out of it. Then open it up when you hear it.. you get the idea. It's funny how we all have our own preferences. I never felt the need to "paint the coil" with it. The protruding 510 hasn't given me any problems either. I take a drag and watch it sometimes. It only takes a couple of seconds and the cotton is saturated again. Plenty of time for my next drag. It's got big airflow that's nice for chunkier coils which I use.Drop Solo works well. Haven’t oversquonked with that one.
