Discussing flavour of a tank is challenging because its often not easy to describe in words how the overall experience "feels".
Am going to try break down my initial impression of this Skyline against the "battleground contenders". I want to record how it feels now so I can come back and compare in a few days or few weeks time.
Fortunately, all four contenders have the same coil (a simple 1.2 ohm single), the same Rayon wick and the same "strawberry ice" blend that I know well. They are all being vaped at low power - 10-15 watts.
Bear in mind that my impressions are for a very particular low power restricted lung hit on a high menthol fruity juice - so if you vape a dessert on higher power with an exotic coil, your results may vary considerably.
Here goes...
Richness of flavour
Skyline wins. The flavour is rich. Its not dry but not overly wet either. The strawberry is the most vivid and "clear". Its not night and day difference to the others but it is noticeably "purer" which works well for my palate and this juice. Probably followed closely by the Kayfun5 and the Lemo1 and further back, the Subtank Mini.
Crispness
Skyline and the Lemo1 are very close in this department. But the Lemo1 is drier. I like the slightly wetter vape of the Skyline, which gives more flavour richness but strangely it doesnt lose crispness. Its weird, the Skyline has a richness and crispness combined. I am not complaining.
Menthol burn
I like the throat singe on longer draws. About three quarters in i like to get that nice menthol burn in the throat. The Skyline delivers in this department - on par with the Lemo1 - maybe fractionally less, but its not that noticeable. The subtank mini is a bit deficient in this department unless i add some extra menthol drops directly t the tank after filling - but that alters the overall flavour a bit.
Vaping action
It seems that the Skyline is going to be the winner here. It is smooth and the air/juice mix seems superb. From pickup, the first vape is near perfect. The Kayfun5 occasionally feels like something is missing and i dont know if its the wicking or something else but its almost asif it sometimes struggles slightly to keep the overall richness of the vape up there. The other two have good vaping action but you kind of need to know how to vape them. Hard to explain but the vape changes ever so slightly after one or two toots.
Lets see how this develops over time. I will come back to this after some further testing and observation.
