lack of flavor can be a few things.
1. coil placement to airflow is off center or sub optimal
2. chamber is to large allowing for the vape to cool to quickly
3. juice may be high vg with little flavor concentrate
4. there could be a case of vapers tongue on the flavor in question ... aka drink more water and swap between flavors more frequently
plus others that may not even be easily identified via a forum aka all in your environment or diet , stress level , hydration , taste buds.

Looks to me like maybe dropping the coils a bit .. I found setting them about 2mm above the airflow and angled more towards the middle got the best flavor

Ive actually tried thatbefor it made the draw slightly restrictive but no improvment in the flavor whatsoever

What airflow setting are you using? Have you tried closing it down a little bit, and also have you tried upping the wattage because 90 watts seems kinda low for such a fairly heavy coil build IMO, but personally I would drop the coils a lot more also in addition to all that... here's a pic of my Reload RTA so you can see what "a lot" means:

Does the low wattage for 0.1 ohm could affect the flavor? Ill try to adjust the coil positioning as yall said, thanks alot

With the type of regulated mod that specifically is capable to sustain the desired wattage for a given coil resistance correctly, the coil resistance in question does not matter because, then, what little impact on performance will be there will fade into the distant landscape by mere definition of the word 'correctly'.

As for the wattage, it matters in the particular sense that all the various other parameters (e.g., the ultra specific combination or factors that uniquely defines the actual coil build itself, airflow and airflow characteristics that also include things like the strength and duration of your draw, the drip tip's size and shape and material type, the size and shape and material type, or types, of the interior space, or "chamber" of the atomizer used, the wicking, all the various characteristics of the juice including VG/PG ratio, nic strength, flavor ingredients, etc.) need to all play together with it and with eachother well... that is, to produce a satisfying flavorful vape that, finally, only you yourself are able to judge the quality of. I find that slow boiling of juices wrecks flavor depth and flavor balance, and, I also find that it just gunks the coils up faster, also typically in addition to that, but the same holds true if the wattage is too high of course so if you decide to try upping the wattage, then up it only one reasonably small step (just a couple of watts or so) at a time to avoid getting yourself hopelessly confused.
