I like the other version because u can top fill the tank.. But it's very hard to unscrew due to the suction... I dunno if this one could do that because of no knurling
Have not ordered it yet but these guys linked this in the supplier section, looks interesting but not a lot of info given on their site. The Big Dripper Clone w/ Transparent (Frosted Clear) Tube - USA Vaping Supplies
I went with this one. $10.41 Big Dripper V2 Style RDTA Rebuildable Dripping Tank Atomizer - 5.0ml / stainless steel + PC / 22mm dia. at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
the post screws are grub, which ive been told is necessary due to the reduced top chamber coming extremely close to the posts, resulting in shorts if your screw heads are above the tops of the posts.
I also like the idea of top filling, and seeing my juice level.
the air holes are also in the right spot, which is not the case for some of the FT BDs. although you only need 2 of the holes to be in the right spot, I figure that if I got one of the ones with the incorrect air holes, who know what else could be wrong (o-rings, leaking, etc).
I like the fact that it has a clear tank and seemingly the option to use a kayfun metal tank for tank crackers. it appears that you can replace the stock clear tank with a kayfun tank section and one kayfun tank ring. so some cool options might be at our fingertips. I just ordered today, but I can update this thread once I receive it and check it out if anyone wants.
looks like FT has that one too.

they've got 11 different Big Dripper clones, counting all the different color tank section versions as 1 version.

I got this one as well, will actually be here tomorrow. I'll post my thoughts after I get it cleaned and up and running. It looks good though and for 23$ shipped I figured I get 2, if anything I'll have spares for my v1 which is flawless.
I just got my BD yesterday and I have not stopped pumping it since. I am loving it!
To impatient to wait for FT so mine came from Angelcig. Still, that three day wait for it and a couple other things seemed to be way to long.

This BD "style" unit hit FT today:
$20.66 Big Dripper Style Rebuildable Dripping Tank Atomizer - stainless steel + glass / 22mm dia. / 3.2ml at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Glass tank and steel tank. Big positive block - although I'm not sure about those posts. My first BD clone was kind of a POS and I got rid of it. I may spring for this one. I don't care for the graduated marks on the glass but I could get over it.

i'm with you on the graduated markings... WTH. I have one from fog in frog and its been great, better than the original. I also bought one of the nano's from FT and I must say, what a POS. kinda liking this new one though. it's peaked my curiousity. but, seeings though I have one that is spot on i'll wait for a review or two

Got my clear versions today.
It's okay. Have a few complaints:
-Only some of my drip tips fit(smaller ones)
I'm gonna take a dremel to that piece so all my tips fit easily
-threading for the tanks was sharp(fine sandpaper fixed that up)
-few rough spots (again fine sandpaper)
-One of the BD didn't have the grubs in the posts(extras in bag)
Other than that they work and vape great. I got two, cleaned with soap and then threw in ultra sonic cleaner with boiling distiller water. For 10$ a pop I won't complain. The build and quality is good, thick O-rings, no leaks, straight posts, lots of spare parts. Solid purchase.
Just be careful filling, have to do it like the kayfun top fill method otherwise it will squirt out the inside hole.

You didn't by chance get this one did you?

Yeah, that's the one. Been using them both all day now, and they're good to go. For the price I'd recommend them, if you're able/willing to do a little touching up it's a good top.
Thanks man. That's the one I have on the way. Glad to hear its decent with little work involved.
