Thanx for the review. I got mine to run single coil builds since i have a patriot and tugboat for duals. Looks sweet on the astro.

I've also been just doing a single coil with mine. Love it, my favorite dripper. Also running it on an Astro, they look great together.


Next build I'm gonna do a single coil on it to get more wick in there :)

I'm running dual 24g at 0.22 ohms - only get about 3-4 hits before it's dry.

I tried extra wick and it didnt seem to work too well because of how close the posts are together and how close they are to the wall. It was pinching the cotton not allowing it to move the liquid to the coil. This is how i had to it.

Yeah, I was thinking of going up and over the posts.
But looking at it, dunno if there's enough room between the top of the posts and the top cap.
I still haven't tried it yet.

I like my atomic clone but i dont travel with it cause my patriot and tugboat hold alot more liquid. You can put it on the mvp as long as you build your coils within the limit of devices output. Not sure what the mvp is but i would assume with most regulated mods that 1 ohm or higher is what youll need. Use 30 or 32 awg wire to start cause youll need 8 or more wraps of 28 to hit the 1 ohm mark and its a mighty small diameter.

U might check out the IGO-L - $10 on ebay $6 fast tech

Easy platform to build on - my first and I still use it daily - simple single coil, although fast tech now has one that you can single or double coil.

May need to drill out air hole larger depending whether you prefer lung or mouth hits. Place Air hole in front of coil.

One of my favorite micro coil builds on IGO-L:
28 gauge kanthal -11 wraps-5/64th drill bit- peaches and cream wick: measure 1.5 ohms ala Rip Trippers youtube

Vape at 8 watts on MVP2

I assume they all taste about the same, depending on a fellows building skill. So ease of build, looks and price are the deciding factor? I see drippers from $8-12 all the way to $30 or so. Does performance really depend on design?

Most drippers that I've used (Igo L's and clones) taste fairly close, I do notice the flavor is better with RDA's that have a smaller chamber (the trident for example), but you can still get great performance out of an Igo-L, Igo-W, etc. If your going to be using the MVP though, I'd go with an RDA that has an adjustable 510 connection. On my older version MVP I wasn't able to get a good connection with my Igo-L with the beauty ring on, it just wouldn't go down far enough. I'm not sure if the version 2 has that issue.

Interesting. I just picked up an atomic yesterday. First build, single coil 6 wraps of 28g came out to 1 ohm. (Wrapped around 3/32 bit and compressed) Using a single coil, which is what I prefer for now, anyways, I can get 10 drops without any leaking. Possibly more, but then it might've been flooding the coil. As long as I vaped with the airhole up, nothing comes out.
