i need to choose a drip atomizer to taste my liquids as they steep and well, because i dont own one yet. im sure i will ultimately have many more than i need. there are no vape shops where i live. i use nautilus mainly. bigger tanks.
i have an istick 50W and an eVic supreme 30W.
also, how does one "cleanse" the atomizer between flavors without having to change it every time, drip un flavored to flush maybe? i have no idea im new at this. not one cigarette since i got my rig ten days ago.
eventually im sure ill want to get into rda's and such but immediately i want something that performes well..i.e. i dont mind spending more for that and would rather not have to trial and error it.
thanks from a super stoked former smoker?
thanks indeed.

Until you get a grasp of rebuildable dripping atomizers, your best best would be to look at a 510 or 306 dripping atomizer in the 1.5ohm range. Taken care of properly they can last about a month each, just 3-5 drops, vape until flavor is gone, drip the next few drops. Maximum watts maybe 15watts all you need, they are not clouding atomizers, they are flavor atomizers, especially the 306, you'll need a special drip tip for the 306, and both cleaning out can be as simple as a soak in unflavored vodka or everclear, or a rinse under the tap. Really, really old school drippers from long before the first RDA hit the market, check out Avid Vapor for these, especially higher end Cisco spec 306 and Cisco Spec HH.357 510 drippers.

rebuildables, check out articles on "Ohm's Law", check out both @Baditude and @Mooch 's blogs, a lot of information, Mooch is geared more toward battery safety testing, Baditude just has a lot of good info. Once you have really got your head wrapped around those subjects, maybe a month down the road, buy yourself a cheap jewelers screw driver set (Walmart about $5), pair of diagonal cutters (again walmart) or flush cutters (walmart crafting section for beading), some Kanthal 28awg wire (Temco Industrial Power or even kidneypuncher.com), an ohm reader (kidneypuncher.com), some organic cotton balls (walgreens green label bag) or Koh Gen Doh Japanese organic cotton pads (kidneypuncher.com), and maybe a Derringer RDA Clone or Bambino RDA clone (both can be found at kidneypuncher), and bookmark this page -> Steam Engine | free vaping calculators

I only have a plume veil and a mutation x v4 and I much prefer the mutation. Pretty easy to build on, tons of air flow, cooling extension for it, decent juice wells,vapor production is great, and flavor is amazing especially when only using the bottom airflow. I'm no pro dripper by any means so someone else will probably be way more helpful than I. To change flavors either vape it until the wick starts to dry (not burn) or just pulse the fire button a few times for the same effect.

um, wow...that pretty much covers my question as well as several follow up questions i would have inevitably had. kudos to that concise yet thorough response. one rarely gets those in life.
