From looking at my friend's Big Dripper my impression were that it strikes a nice balance with FP/VP, but you do trade off on those some in exchange for the tank. It's a solid well made device and I was impressed by how you can take off the tank and drip a new flavor onto the coils like any ole RDA should you want to. But there are a few shortcomings. Personally I like a more open build deck, and I was surprised that the juice delivery holes don't line up over the coils. Also I had trouble putting the tank back together since the spring tended to fall out of position and complicate things, especially with a tank full of juice in one hand. My friend also complained that its very easy to over drip using the mechanism. I'm interested to see what they do with a v2.

I think it's a pretty nifty idea. I got a Hekvapor clone and it functions perfectly. Pushing the drip tip once or twice wets the wicks up nicely and I'm able to use the tank till it's dry. I haven't had any issues with it leaking either which is nice.

Compared to my Magma, Venturi, or Quasar though, I don't think the flavor is very good from the Big Dripper. On three post drippers I prefer to build on the center post but with the Big Dripper you're forced to build off the negative posts, at least on mine anyway. Rewicking is kind of annoying with the raised edges and I don't like how after I get my coils lighting up nice I have to then push them down to be in front of the air holes.

I'd say the flavor is atleast better than a Kayfun, the only RBA I've ever used. And the draw is a lot nicer in my opinion so if you can compromise on flavor a bit compared to some drippers, for the convenience of a tank, it's pretty nice.

I'm hating the deck less and less as I use mine. I'm still gonna try to see if the top cap portion will mate nicely with a "better" deck. It's a whistle-feather of a smidge too small to fit my Plume Veil, but I might give it a dremeling and make it work. Anyone try it on a Vulcan yet?

Use mine as a conventional dripper 80% of the time, and use the cap resevior when dripping isnt convenient as a quick re-wet. This way I only fill the cap once a day, despite my 10ml/day habit.
