Why upgrade from the scar?

I would submit that with your setup, if you take two or three good puffs in a row, no matter what atty you're using, it's going to get hot. My kayfuns do it, my gennies do it, my oddy clone did it. Remember, we heat wire to vaporize liquid, heat will transfer.

check out a bigger dripping atty like the igo or v5 from fasttech (one of my fav's) the bigger body and room inside will help them stay a little cooler. that little scar body is going to get hot no matter what you do with wicks stuffed into that little cap
i never had a scar but it resembles a cyclone and i have had a cyclone clone. the metal seemed thinner on the clone so if your top cap is also thin metal, the heat will soak and transfer much quicker. my nimbus takes a few pulls to get heated but it stays hot longer. the clone cyclone heated up after 1-2 pulls but would cool off rather quickly as well.
all tops caps will heat up, as will the top of the mod through heat transfer. its what metal does. long slow pulls will expedite it too. it's all an inevitability.
oh and as far as selling you on something, i think my nimbus is great. can find em for 40-50 bucks in the classies here. good dual coil ability.

Personally, I don't care for RDAs. I have an igo W that I use to test different juices, but I could not imagine using it all day, just filling it up with juice. Since you already have begun to master your skills with your Scar, I would say maybe try to build the scar with microcoils.
I'm more of a tank RBA guy. I have all of the GG clones (Ithaka, Odysseus, iAtty) and a Kayfun Lite. All of these attys are incredible in terms of flavor and vapor production. They are pretty much as close as you can get to dripping with a tank. I think you would be pleasantly surprised at the vape of these tanks, especially compared to an RDA.
If the price tag scares you (all of these tanks are over $50), you could try your hand at building an SS mesh wick in a genesis style atomizer. The SS Mesh probably is the best wick for flavor and is even better than dripping. The difficulty is that with SS Mesh, it is hard to build a coil and get it working with no hot spots/shorts. The upside is that it is worth it. You have not tried a juice until you have run it through a mesh wick.

I'd say try the oddy dripper with the ceramic. Ceramic does a good job of retaining heat. Use micro coils in the 1.2 - 1.4 range and you should still get a good warm vape without the atty getting quite as hot.
Edit: I should add that I don't have one-I'm just going on some posts I've read, plus some experience with ceramic cups.

I'm getting use to this Scar. Last few days with the wicks full of juice it produces lots of vapor and the taste is intense !Made the mistake of filling it with menthol almost blew my head off! LOL And it's easy to clean run hot water over the wicks and coil looks like new.
